Warning: Contains spoilers for Chainsaw Man chapter #191Chainsaw Manis a series that enjoys pushing boundaries. From ushering in a new generation ofShōnen Jumpmanga to redefining what a shōnen protagonist should be,Tatsuki Fujimoto’s ongoing magnum opus continues to bewilder readerswith unexpected twists and turns in seemingly every new chapter that releases. Now serializing exclusively onJump+,Shōnen Jump’s online platform that gives more creative freedom to its artists,Chainsaw Manhas made a habit of pushing new, not so safe for work boundaries in its second part.
For a series already known to be crude and somewhat vulgar at times,Chainsaw ManPart 2 features a few moments which read as though its author wanted to find out just how much he could get away with. The series' most recent chapter #191, titled “Cuz I’m a Devil”, kicks off the manga’s latest arc following the longrun-in with the Aging Devil, and also discusseswhat is arguablyChainsaw Man’s most controversial NSFW moment. The series will never be the same following its most recent entry, and neither will Denji and Asa.
Denji Learns of Yoru’s Existence, Prompting an Important Question
The Long-Awaited Reveal Has Finally Come
Since the very first chapter ofChainsaw ManPart Two,fans have been waiting for Denji to learn of Yoru’s existence. Many thought the reveal would come while the two werealone in Aging’s world, and were disappointed when the arc came to a close without Denji being any wiser to the War Devil. Unexpectedly, though, at the very beginning of chapter #191, Yoru reveals herself to the series' protagonist following a very light interrogation. What was most unexpected about the moment, however, was Denji’s response.
Rather than expressing any concern for Asa, or even being upset about yet another devil toying with his emotions, hepromptly asks which one of them got overly intimate with him in the alley. The moment stirred so much controversy thatChainsaw Manchapter #167 finished asManga Plus' most read chapter of 2024, and it seems Denji was affected by it just as much as his audience was. Yoru, who spent the majority of the chapter being excessively evil, was untroubled by his question, only responding, “want to find out?” in an oddly flirtatious way.
There Might Be More to Denji’s Question Than It Seems
Chainsaw Man’s Protagonist Might Be Losing His Humanity
Denji’s question to Yoru is humorously in character forChainsaw Man’s protagonist, thoughit might signal an incredibly important change taking place in him. By the end of the chapter, Yoru is seemingly trying to convince Denji that being a devil is better than being human. The lack of any care for Asa displayed in his question suggests that Denji is closer to abandoning his humanity than it may seem.
Nayuta first presented him with the choice between remaining human or embracing his devil side in chapter #149, to which Denji firmly refused to join the devils' side. Looking back now, he might regret what he decided, and if Yoru offers to team up and fight the humanswho have spent the entirety of the story betraying Denji, he might just join her.
Like It or Not, Chainsaw Man’s Most Frustrating Character Is Now Its Most Interesting
Fumiko has been shrouded in mystery since her introduction in Chainsaw Man, and she’s now the series' most interesting character.
Chainsaw Manhas just begun its newest arc, and did so byaddressing the most controversial moment of Part Two. There is a chance, however, that its inclusion in chapter #191 is more than simply humorous shock value. The world has once more beaten the series' protagonist to the ground, and he has every reason to turn his back to the people he once protected.
