Chainsaw Man Chapter 178 Recap

Chainsaw Man Chapter 178 kicked off with the revelation that the Gun Goddess was concealed within the Statue of Liberty. This skeletal entity, lacking skin and displaying exposed organs, possessed two muscular arms that fused into an enormous rifle-like limb. Its lower jaw was absent, presenting a feminine visage with horn-like protrusions shaped like guns.

Upon uttering the word “bang,”Yoru triggered the Gun Goddess’ rifle-like appendage to launch a colossal finger towards Pochita in Japan. The impact resulted in widespread devastation. Asa, shocked by the chaos, managed to reclaim control from Yoru and reflected on her negligence in recognizing Yoru as a Devil, as Yoru erupted in maniacal laughter over the destruction caused.

The narrative then shifted focus to Pochita, who appeared as a charred, cracked torso and head. The Aging Devil soon arrived, offering Pochita its blood and instructing him to consume it in pieces, saving the head for last. The Aging Devil cryptically stated that children would perish with each bite consumed per its contract with Public Safety, calling this process romantic as it questioned if Pochita understood. The chapter concluded with the Aging Devil gazing into a mirror that revealed several children being escorted by military personnel.

What to Expect from Chainsaw Man Chapter 179 (Speculative)

Chainsaw Man Chapter 179 will likely commence with Pochita’s resurrection, potentially introduced by a heartfelt conversation with Denji. They may explore Denji’s aspirations and what he envisions for the future. The focus is expected to transition into Pochita’s revival as the Hero of Hell, during which he could begin consuming the Aging Devil.

The narrative will probably then shift back to Public Safety, confirming that Pochita’s consumption of the Aging Devil is underway. Any immediate consequences could be depicted, likely illustrated by elderly patients in hospitals recovering from ailments associated with old age. The chapter is expected to conclude with a focus on Fumiko Mifune and notable members of the Japanese government.
