Chapter 138 recap
Chainsaw Man chapter 138 began with Denji and his date still facing off. She rushed at him as one of the assailants on the ground pointed a gun at him. She then launched her bat at the assailant’s face, forcing him to drop what was revealed to be a model gun. Hirofumi Yoshida then reappeared, introducing the girl as Fumiko Mifune, a member of Tokyo Special Division 7 for Public Safety.
It was explained that she’d been assigned to Denji as his bodyguard and was at no point his enemy. She even went as far as to say that she was really into him.
The issue then cut to Asa Mitaka, who was in an almost comatose-like state while watching a TV broadcast about herself. She and War Devil Yoru discussed their differing opinions on fame. Asa disliked the invasion of privacy, and Yoru enjoyed the attention.
Asa let out a creepy smile while watching the broadcast before the perspective shifted back to Denji. He was staring at a poster of Asa promoting the Chainsaw Man Church when he was approached by a hooded figure. The figure talked to Denji about how annoying it was to see Asa put on Chainsaw Man’s level. He then revealed that he knew Denji was Chainsaw Man.
The chapter ended by revealing the figure to be Sword Man, a Hybrid from Makima’s Special Division 5 squad.
What to expect (speculative)
While the possibilities are truly endless, Chainsaw Man chapter 139 will likely begin with Denji and Sword Man heading somewhere to discuss why the latter approached the former. There is also expected to be some explanation of what Sword Man has been up to since Denji’s fight against Makima.
From here, Chainsaw Man chapter 139 could fulfill fans’ wishes and bring back several other Hybrids from earlier in the series. This could potentially include fan-favorite characters Quanxi and Reze, as well as the other members of Special Division 5.
Fans may even learn that these Hybrids have teamed up to fight against the coming Nostradamus prophecy, which is still looming overhead as the series progresses through its second part.
