Chainsaw Man Chapter 179: Asa’s True Feelings for Yoru Exposed as Pochita Declines the Aging Devil’s Proposal

Chainsaw Man chapter 179 was highly anticipated as fans expected to see Pochita, now fully recovered, begin to consume the Aging Devil after reviving from the Primal Fear’s blood. Officially released on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, the chapter opened with Pochita revving his engine, indicating he was partially healed from his injuries.

However, instead of confronting the Aging Devil, Chainsaw Man chapter 179 showcased Pochita crawling back to the sign he was previously grasping, which requested blood donations. Concurrently, Asa Mitaka, alongside War Devil Yoru, engaged in a compelling dialogue, unveiling that neither could completely maintain autonomy over their shared body.

Chainsaw Man chapter 179: A Twist of Fate

The chapter begins with Pochita having regenerated his arms, pulling his starter cord to rev up his engine. Instead of advancing toward the Aging Devil, he diverts to the sign, eliciting confusion from the Aging Devil, who questions if Pochita’s mind is vacant. War Devil Yoru then enters the scene, suspecting that the Aging Devil intends to claim her kill.

As Yoru aims at Pochita, Asa implores her to halt, arguing that Chainsaw Man is on his last legs and that it’s sufficient for Yoru to declare victory. Yoru retorts, insisting he still belongs to her, revealing her intentions to transform Chainsaw Man into her weapon. She attempts to reassure Asa with Famine Devil Fami’s insights regarding their collaborative wishes, but Asa skeptically challenges Yoru’s belief in this promise.

In a surprising turn, chapter 179 adjusts control dynamics as Asa takes command of their shared body, shocking Yoru. Yoru demands the return of her body while instructing Asa to stop being afraid of her. Asa’s rejection of this ultimatum causes Yoru to back off momentarily, though she soon realizes the genuine fear Asa harbors towards her, remarking that it stings.

Despite Asa’s moment of vulnerability, Yoru capitalizes on it by unleashing an attack using the Gun Goddess against Pochita and the Aging Devil. A gigantic bullet, identified as an index finger shot, soars over the ocean before hovering ominously above the Aging Devil.

The Aging Devil expresses disbelief that the War Devil believes an attack of this magnitude could be lethal. As it touches the bullet, it begins to disintegrate, taunting that neither Chainsaw Man nor the War Devil possess the maturity required to face it, culminating in the bullet turning to dust. The chapter concludes with the Aging Devil’s ominous proclamation that it’s time for them to mature.

Chainsaw Man chapter 179: Conclusion

While Chainsaw Man chapter 179 is somewhat brief and not overly action-packed, it lays the groundwork for an exhilarating series of events as the narrative continues. A colossal three-way battle involving Pochita, the Aging Devil, and War Devil Yoru appears imminent, heralding a potentially explosive climax to the current arc and potentially leading to a collapse of Public Safety’s schemes before they even initiate.
