Chapter 129 recap
Chainsaw Man chapter 129 began with Denji and the Fakesaw Man standing across from each other as Asa regained consciousness and recognized the two as Chainsaw Men. The two then returned to the streets of Tokyo, where Denji was seemingly mortally injured in their escape. War Devil Yoru then tried to convince Asa to kill Chainsaw Man here, given the opportunity.
However, Asa decided to save Denji instead, saying how seeing someone like Chainsaw Man being allowed to live gives her hope that she too can live and be happy as well. After giving Denji her blood, he saved himself and her from what appeared to be the appendages of the caterpillar-esque Devil seen in chapter 124.
The two then continued running from these attacks, eventually finding a motorcycle to steal. However, after Denji hilariously refused to steal it because a woman was riding it, Asa pointed out one being ridden by a man, which Denji did steal. Asa then used her weaponization powers to turn it into a Chainsaw Man-themed motorcycle with a chainsaw sticking out the front as the issue ended.
What to expect (speculative)
Chainsaw Man chapter 130 will likely continue focusing on the newly formed dynamic duo of Asa and Chainsaw Man. With Fujimoto deciding to split them off from the Fakesaw Man’s confrontation with the Falling Devil in Hell, it only seems natural for the next chapter to primarily take this route.
While fans may see a glimpse of the Fakesaw Man’s battle against the Falling Devil, it’s unlikely that this will be the chapter’s main focus. Fans can instead expect these two to be the highlight in subsequent issues, likely as a means of closing out the arc once Denji and Asa make it to sunrise. Likewise, fans should also discover by the arc’s end why sunrise is the magical time to make it to.
