Chainsaw Man chapter 205 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 205, titled Who?, saw the Fire Devil ask Denji if he recognized his host body. As Denji failed to recognize the beheaded person, the Fire Devil explained to him that the person was someone who admired Chainsaw Man. However, after Chainsaw Man chose to save a cat over his younger brother during the Cockroach Devil's attack, the person lived the remainder of his life, wanting to enact revenge on Chainsaw Man as the Fake Chainsaw Man.

Denji asked the Fire Devil if he wanted him to apologize. In response, the Fire Devil told Denji that he wanted Chainsaw Man to make another choice between two options. Right after, a building crashed on Yoru. While Chainsaw Man wanted to rescue Yoru, the Falling Devil blocked his path.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 206?

Chainsaw Man chapter 206 will most likely see Chainsaw Man fight the Falling Devil while trying to rescue War Devil Yoru. As fans must have noticed, while the Fire Devil wanted Denji to make a tough choice, it seemed like there was an obvious choice for Denji.

Instead of either saving Yoru or fighting the Falling Devil, he needed to do both. With this precedent, there is a chance that the Fire Devil will make Denji's choice more difficult by possibly threatening to kill Yoru.
