Chainsaw Man Chapter 177: Pochita Escapes Yoru as the War Devil Prepares for a Final Attack

Chainsaw Man Chapter 177 was highly anticipated to center around the intense confrontation between War Devil Yoru and Chainsaw Devil Pochita, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as the battle continues in a bloody and brutal manner. Officially released on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, this chapter showcases the thrilling clash for a brief moment before Pochita decides to retreat.

Following this pivotal moment, Chainsaw Man Chapter 177 depicts Pochita seemingly seeking to heal himself by finding a volunteer for their blood. Alternatively, this could reflect Denji’s personality emerging, reminiscent of his memories with Power, whom he bid farewell to when Pochita’s Hero of Hell form took over his body. Meanwhile, Yoru appears to be scheming something significant by invoking her “family tree” as the War Devil and the creatures spawned by war.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 177: Gun Gauntlet, Engage!

Chainsaw Man Chapter 177 opens with a view of the Mouth Devil’s head rolling along the ground accompanied by the dialogue stating “mouth restored.” Pochita is shown gravely injured from Yoru’s previous attack, prompting her to once again unleash the Gun Gauntlet, exclaiming “bang” in a manner reminiscent of Makima.

Pochita attempts to defend against the fire, but is overpowered, breaking through his defenses and propelling him backward until he crashes into a building. Asa Mitaka watches in shock as she examines her new arms. Yoru comments that both Tank and Gun were “born from war,” declaring they fought for her as her kin, embodying her horrific nature.

As the chapter progresses, Asa seeks confirmation from Yoru that eliminating Pochita, referred to as “the black Chainsaw Man,” will fulfill Denji’s desire. Yoru affirms that this aligns with what the Famine Devil, Fami, communicated, while Asa questions whether Yoru is truly fine with transforming her friends, Devils created from her, into weapons.

In response, Yoru chillingly states that children belong to their parents, leaving Asa horrified. At that moment, Pochita regains consciousness and jumps to the top of the building he crashed into. Yoru taunts him about whether he remembers her from the agony, speculating if it has instilled fear in him or even awakened a hunger to devour her.

Yoru insists that she has provoked him, demanding he confront her. However, Pochita disappears, leading Yoru to flail her arms, anticipating an attack as she calls for him to reveal himself. Unluckily for Yoru, Pochita relocates to a completely different area, finding himself in front of a girl promoting a mobile blood drive.

Pochita gazes down at her until she notices his presence, screaming in fright. In a surprising turn, Pochita picks up the “give blood” sign, attempting to communicate while waving it around. Some fans interpret this as his effort to heal without causing harm to others, while others believe it signifies Denji’s essence, highlighting his thoughts of Blood Devil/Fiend Power. This notion aligns with Denji’s last encounter with Power after transforming into Pochita’s Hero of Hell form.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 177: The Extent of War

The narrative transitions to a house in Texas, USA, where a man is watching television while sipping a drink. Suddenly, he screams in pain as blood splatters throughout his apartment, revealing that both of his index fingers have vanished without explanation.

This incident also occurs to a staggering 400,000 members of the National Pistol Association of America, all of whom lose one or both of their index fingers, as observed by fans. The focus then shifts back to Yoru, maintaining a pose reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty. However, instead of holding an object, she points her index finger upward.

The chapter concludes by zooming in on the face of the Statue of Liberty as Yoru bends her finger into a claw-like form. As the tension builds, a massive crack emerges across the Statue of Liberty’s face, extending from her hairline down to her nose and across her left eye.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 177: Conclusion

While Chainsaw Man Chapter 177 may not have delivered the action-packed sequences some fans expected, it was an exhilarating issue that sets the stage for an explosive confrontation. Yoru’s impending ultimate attack is likely to challenge a fully restored Hero of Hell, hinting that the next chapter promises to be captivating. Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait long as there is no scheduled break following the release of Chapter 177.
