3. Chapter 143 Speculations

Denji is in a massive dilemma between a normal life and being Chainsaw Man. He recognizes that a lot of pain and suffering comes with it, but his life feels empty and meaningless without transforming.

I. Denji transforms

The Hybrids will wreak havoc on the amusement park, and the Public Safety officials will be no match for their strength. The only one who can stand a chance is Chainsaw Man, and Denji knows that. After seeing the bloodshed of parents and kids, he will probably transform and save them.

II. Denji doesn’t transform.

Denji’s dream was to live a normal life with Nayuta, and Yoshida assured him that he would kill her if he transformed. Denji may consider sitting back for this fight. Since Yoshida has shown considerable strength against the battle with Quanxi in Part 1, he may be able to fend off the hybrids for some time.

III. Nayuta enters the battle.

Another possibility is the Control Devil herself stopping the hybrids from killing. She will get dragged into the battle since she’s also in the park. Since Makima had controlled all the hybrids in the past, Nayuta should also be able to do the same without any trouble.

4. Chapter 142 Recap

Denji is in an amusement park with Nayuta, and he sits on a bench watching her. However, he isn’t paying attention to her since his mind is filled with problems and decisions. Fumiko appears beside him and asks about the Chainsaw Man church.

He reassures her he won’t ever be turning into Chainsaw Man again, but she’s not too happy about that. Denji tells Fumiko that being Chainsaw Man isn’t always so joyful, and she agrees, saying it wouldn’t be nice to get watched in the bathroom.

Denji’s completely shocked by this sudden reveal, asks her to elaborate on this creepy stalking. Fumiko tries to backtrack on what she said, but Denji gets angrier by the minute. All she can worry about is getting scolded by Public Safety, and Denji wonders how much they’ve seen.

As their argument escalates, Fumiko mentions how Chainsaw Man didn’t save her parents. When Denji was fighting the Gun Fiend, Aki, the battle destroyed multiple buildings and had a lot of casualties. Fumiko’s parents were a part of that count, and she saw the fight with her own eyes.

After the battle ended, Fumiko witnessed Chainsaw Man turn back into Denji. She also saw him crying his eyes out after killing Aki, making her realize the amount of pain he was going through. That was the day she decided she wasn’t a Chainsaw Man fan but a Denji fan.

Unlike all the girls in Denji’s life, she is the first to care for him and not Chainsaw Man. Their conversation is interrupted before Denji can respond as Barem sits beside him. He shows Denji his Chainsaw Man lighter, proof he is a fan.

Barem wants to see Chainsaw Man fighting, killing devils, and getting covered in blood. While Denji stares at him in astonishment, he tells him that there will be a devil attack on this building soon. Multiple civilians are in the area, and Chainsaw Man will be their only hope.
