Chainsaw Man: Yoru’s Promise to Denji and the Resurfacing of Blocked Memories from Nayuta (Chapter 167)

The highly anticipated Chainsaw Man chapter 167 has unveiled the aftermath of War Devil Yoru’s pledge to Denji of a major bodily sacrifice. The official release of the issue on Tuesday, June 4, 2024 through multiple Shueisha platforms has finally satisfied fans’ curiosity about the future of the series.

Despite author and illustrator Tatsuki Fujimoto’s typical style, Chainsaw Man chapter 167 took a surprising turn, deviating from the norm and leading readers down an unpredictable path. As a result, this issue has sparked a divide amongst fans and discussions have already begun on social media.

The Conclusion of Denji and Yoru’s First Date in Chainsaw Man Chapter 167

Chainsaw Man: Chapter 167 – Is it True Love’s Kiss?

The latest installment of Chainsaw Man, chapter 167, called “Super Smooch,”opens with Yoru, the War Devil, searching for a suitable tool to fulfill her promise to Denji. After some searching, she comes across a knife on the ground and instructs Denji to undress so she can keep her word. Denji initially looks at her with confusion before understanding her intentions.

Upon Yoru’s request, Denji questions whether she truly intends to release him from his carnal desires, hesitating to immediately remove his clothes. Despite it being his own idea, Denji remains uncertain and repeatedly seeks clarification from Yoru. He even appears confused, initially asking if she wants to see the specific body part before remembering the reason for their encounter in the alley.

In Chainsaw Man chapter 167, Yoru becomes enraged and insists that Denji remove his clothes. However, he quickly changes his mind and swats away her knife. Both of them are taken aback by this, and Yoru proceeds to move closer to Denji, expressing her disinterest in his foolish emotions.

Despite her initial declaration of wanting to fight Chainsaw Man, she soon questions if physically harming him will truly ignite his desire for battle. During a brief moment of eye contact, Yoru is unexpectedly struck with a vision of kissing Denji, leaving her taken aback. She vocalizes her shock before reminding Denji that they have shared a kiss in the past.

Despite clearly understanding what she is saying, he is still confused, possibly because he is questioning why Control Devil Nayuta’s abilities are no longer working. However, there is no time to dwell on this confusion as Chainsaw Man chapter 167 shows Yoru briefly kissing Denji before immediately pulling away. Both of them are unsure of how to proceed, but Yoru decides to try again and the two begin passionately making out once Denji reciprocates.

Despite nearing the end, Asa Mitaka suddenly regains control of her shared body with Yoru. She pulls away from Denji and becomes fixated on the consequences of Yoru’s actions, which she has been forced to carry out without her consent.

Summary of Chainsaw Man Chapter 167

Despite its jarring nature, Chainsaw Man chapter 167 is a crucial step in Fujimoto’s typical approach to Denji’s character growth and development. While it may be difficult to endure the harsh reality of things getting worse even after they improve, such moments are necessary for a realistic portrayal of Denji’s struggles. The impact on Denji is always a tough pill to swallow.

Asa Mitaka’s lack of consent in Yoru’s use of her body is deeply concerning. Despite sharing a body, Asa did not give her permission (as far as fans are aware) for this issue. This raises moral questions as Asa was the original owner of her body. It is likely that this will lead to a heated argument between the two. Additionally, the explicit nature of the content in this issue has caused great distress among fans, with many considering it unnecessary.
