As we approach the release of Chainsaw Man chapter 179, a hot topic of discussion among fans has been the Aging Devil’s offer of assistance to Pochita. While some fans speculate that the Devil’s actions stem from its contractual obligations with Public Safety, others believe there may be a more profound significance behind the offer.
However, upon the release of chapter 179, Chainsaw Man clarifies that there is no deeper meaning to the Aging Devil’s behavior following the rejection of its offer. The Aging Devil reinforces this sentiment at the conclusion of the chapter by making a veiled threat towards both Pochita and War Devil Yoru.
Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mangaka of Chainsaw Man, appears to have intentionally crafted this narrative to underscore the lack of deeper significance behind the Aging Devil’s offer. Instead, the Primal Fear Devil acts according to its fleeting desires, as evidenced by its swift abandonment of its intentions toward Pochita.
Chainsaw Man Illustrates the Lack of Meaning Behind Primal Fear Devils’ Actions in Chapter 179
In the closing moments of Chainsaw Man chapter 179, the Aging Devil menacingly tells Yoru and Pochita that they need to “grow up.”This statement becomes increasingly troubling as the Aging Devil demonstrates its powers by turning the Gun Goddess’ bullet into dust while delivering this warning. The display suggests a strong likelihood that the Aging Devil is preparing to eliminate both characters after labeling them as nuisances.
Fujimoto likely meticulously orchestrated this shift in the Aging Devil’s demeanor toward Pochita, hinting that there is no deeper meaning to be found. Essentially, Fujimoto aims to highlight how the actions of the Primal Fear Devils are dictated by their immediate whims. For example, Pochita’s refusal to consume the Aging Devil likely provoked offense, culminating in the threat at the chapter’s conclusion.
This interpretation gains credence from the fact that the manga has already indicated the Aging Devil’s plans with Public Safety are still progressing. This was confirmed in the closing panel of chapter 178, where a scene unfolds showing several children being escorted by the military. The Aging Devil is aware of this, as the mirror revealing this plot development is a result of its own powers and capabilities.
Considering that Devils face severe repercussions for breaking contracts, it is perplexing why the Aging Devil would want to eliminate Pochita. Other than the setup possibly being a red herring, the only logical conclusion is that the Aging Devil’s actions lack substantial meaning. Consequently, the Aging Devil opts to kill Pochita rather than risk being devoured by him.
This analysis is further supported by the possibility that this could mark the first instance of contract-breaking consequences within the series. Such a plot twist would align with Fujimoto’s unique storytelling style, elaborating on a significant narrative point that has not been thoroughly explored thus far. Additionally, the failure of the contract could lead to various repercussions or elevate Fumiko Mifune’s role, as she seemingly orchestrated these events.
While Fujimoto’s intentions regarding this apparent twist remain open to interpretation, it is highly plausible that the underlying message is clear. The Primal Fear Devils are entities that operate according to their transient whims, indicating that none of their actions, including aiding Pochita, hold deeper significance.
