Recap of Chainsaw Man Chapter 180

In Chainsaw Man chapter 180, Yoru commenced an attack on the Aging Devil. However, the Aging Devil retaliated with a “bang” assault that transported Yoru (within Asa’s body) to a new dimension, where Asa believed she was reliving her dream. Asa eventually awakened in this unfamiliar realm, which resembled an expansive forest beside a lake, finding an untransformed Denji beside her.

Yoru then attempted to commandeer their shared body to eliminate Denji, despite him not being her intended target, Pochita. However, her powers faltered, allowing Asa to regain control. They encountered another man who elucidated that the Aging Devil had created this world. He had been trapped there for 82 years, expressing regret at not finding an escape so far. He claimed to be the youngest soul there, as many of the other humans appeared immortal but some had lost their sanity. The chapter concluded with the man revealing that someone had escaped once but did not elaborate further before he seemed to spiral into madness.

Speculations for Chainsaw Man Chapter 181

It’s likely that chapter 181 will commence by focusing on Denji’s perspective, given the narrative arc established in the previous installment. Readers haven’t seen Denji since chapter 171, and there was no notable dialogue regarding Nayuta’s death, hinting at an impending focus on his character.

Furthermore, it is expected that chapter 181 will temporarily separate Denji and Asa, enabling Asa to confront Yoru about her earlier attempt to kill Denji. This confrontation could lead to a clash between the two, possibly resulting in Yoru threatening Asa’s life while Asa responds with indifference to their perilous circumstances.
