Fans have highly commended Fujimoto Tatsuki for how he handles death.

As stated already, nobody is above death in Chainsaw Man. Despite the supernatural forces at work, death emerges in the manga as an unexpected and raw force that compels the characters to respond very realistically. Some manga arcs feature more deaths than others, but it is apparent that none of them are cheap shock tactics.

In Chainsaw Man, the death toll appears to be unstoppable. Even as fans wait for chapter 119, there is a sense of imminent disaster for either Denji or Asa.

As previously seen, Asa had caved to Yoru's demands to kill Chainsaw Man in order to reclaim her body. They had decided to use Denji as a weapon, unaware of his true identity. For this reason, Asa had herself invited to his home. However, there are rules in Denji's house, and breaking them can result in death.

It remains to be seen how the story progresses from here. Chainsaw Man chapter 119 will be available on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at 12 am JST.
