Chainsaw Man chapter 203 recap

Expand Tweet

Chainsaw Man chapter 203 began with Denji continuing to dodge Fakesaw Man’s attacks, but at the expense of the humans making up his new arms being injured. The humans began crying out in pain and asked Denji to save them, with one of the heads suggesting he attack Fakesaw’s heart to possibly kill him and save them. Denji expressed his doubts that this would work, but eventually tried doing so when an opening arose.

However, chapter 203 saw Fakesaw respond by summoning a human head right in front of his heart as Denji was about to attack. This caused Denji to pull back out of not wanting to kill any of the humans, prompting Fakesaw to land a devastating punch squarely on him. The blast sent Denji flying through the wall of a nearby building. War Devil Yoru then went to Denji, telling him he couldn’t win if he felt sorry for the humans now trapped within Fakesaw.

Denji paused before responding that if he killed them, there’d be fewer people who like him. Yoru countered that even if he saved them, he’d soon be forgotten, pointing to Asa’s fifteen minutes of fame as an example. She then offered to give Denji a hand, which he didn’t respond to as the building started shaking. The issue ended by revealing Falling Devil had arrived and was using her powers to throw the building at a crowd of people, including Famine Devil Fami.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 204 (speculative)

Chainsaw Man chapter 204 should begin with Falling Devil’s attack actually landing, revealing the scope of the destruction and statuses of Fami, Yoru, Denji, and Fakesaw Man. The lattermost will likely be seen watching from afar, waiting for Denji to return to their fight as Fami and Falling reunite.

Focus should then shift to Yoru and Denji, with chapter 204 likely seeing him accept her offer of help in finding a way to defeat Fakesaw Man. After a brief conversation between them, the issue will likely end with Denji attacking Fakesaw Man and the humans within him, abandoning the idea of saving them likewise.
