Chainsaw Man Part 2 continues to push boundaries with its irreverent and sometimes vulgar humor. The most recent chapter, #191, titled “Cuz I’m a Devil, ”marks the beginning of a new story arc as it addresses the aftermath of the Aging Devil encounter. This chapter also highlights what could be considered Chainsaw Man’s most contentious NSFW moment, leading to potential changes in the dynamics between Denji and Asa.
Denji Uncovers Yoru’s Existence: A Pivotal Moment
The Anticipated Reveal Arrives
Since the initiation of Chainsaw Man Part Two, readers have been eagerly awaiting Denji’s revelation about Yoru. There was widespread speculation that this would occur while Denji was trapped in the Aging Devil’s realm, only for fans to be left hanging as the arc concluded without this insight. Surprisingly, chapter #191 kicks off with Yoru introducing herself to Denji in a rather lighthearted manner, completely turning expectations on their head.
Instead of manifesting concern for Asa or reacting with annoyance at yet another devil manipulating his life, Denji shockingly inquires as to which of the two had been intimate with him in the alley. This bold query generated immense backlash, leading to chapter #167 becoming the most-read chapter on Manga Plus in 2024, indicating that Denji’s reaction resonated just as strongly with readers as with the characters involved. Yoru, whose demeanor throughout the chapter is decidedly villainous, casually responds, “Want to find out?”embracing a flirtatious banter that amplifies the moment’s tension.
The Depth of Denji’s Question: An Insightful Reflection
Is Denji Losing Touch with His Humanity?
Denji’s audacious question may be a humorous nod to his character but signifies a potential shift in his identity. By the conclusion of the chapter, it becomes evident that Yoru may be attempting to persuade Denji that the life of a devil is superior to that of a human. His casual disregard for Asa’s well-being raises concerns about his commitment to his humanity, signaling a deeper existential struggle.
Earlier in chapter #149, Nayuta confronted Denji with the option to embrace his devilish side, which he staunchly declined. However, in retrospect, he might ponder this choice as he witnesses betrayal from those he has sought to protect. If Yoru offers him an alliance against humans who have continuously wronged him, he could be tempted to reassess his stance.
As Chainsaw Man enters this latest arc, it does so by delving into the series’ most provocative theme yet. The implications of chapter #191’s revelations extend beyond mere shock value, hinting at Denji’s re-evaluation of loyalty as he faces the adversities of his tumultuous world.
