2. Recap of Chapter 180 of Chainsaw Man
The chapter titled “Aging’s World” begins with Yoru, in Asa’s body, preparing to attack the Aging Devil. However, the Aging Devil counters by pointing its finger and saying “bang,” transporting Yoru into a mysterious new world. This transition is tied to Asa’s recurring dream, where she finds herself running through an alley. But Asa soon realizes that this isn’t a dream, waking up in a massive forest with a lake at its centre.
As she looks around, she spots an untransformed Denji sleeping next to her. Sensing an opportunity, Yoru tries to kill Denji despite him not being her true target, Pochita. However, her powers fail, leaving Yoru visibly shaken, and Asa quickly regains control of her body.
At this moment, a man appears and begins explaining the nature of their surroundings, revealing that they are trapped in a world created by the Aging Devil. The man shares that he was once a Devil Hunter and that he was pulled into this world after making an offhand comment about wanting to make a contract with an Aging Devil while passing a mirror.
The man claims to have been trapped in this strange world for 82 years despite still appearing relatively young. He explains that in this world, humans are immortal but are driven to madness over time. He reveals that although the inhabitants don’t need to eat or drink, the isolation and endless existence have driven many to insanity.
The man also confides that he has tried to commit suicide multiple times but cannot die here. Asa, increasingly unnerved, asks the man if there is any way out, but he provides little hope. He mentions that someone managed to escape long ago but refuses to elaborate further.
The man begins to act strangely, warning Asa that “it’s almost that time” and telling her to disappear. He starts hugging a tree, mistaking Asa for someone named Ritsuko, implying that he’s hallucinating. Asa watches in confusion and horror as the man wraps himself around the tree, muttering “mreee” repeatedly while squishing his face into the bark, losing his sense of reality entirely.
The chapter concludes with Asa, still trapped in the strange world of the Aging Devil, confronted with the madness of the other inhabitants and left with more questions than answers about how to escape.
3. Speculation of Chapter 181 of Chainsaw Man
In the next chapter, the focus will likely shift to Denji’s perspective, following the setup in the previous episode. Denji, now back in his regular form after his transformation into the Hero of Hell, hasn’t had significant screen time or dialogue since Chapter 171. Given that everything went to high hell immediately after Nayuta’s death, we have heard no mention of it since, so it seems probable that Denji’s thoughts and reactions to these events might take centre stage in the upcoming chapter.
The narrative will also likely separate Denji and Asa, at least temporarily, allowing Asa to confront Yoru about her attempt to kill Denji in Chapter 180. This confrontation will probably lead to tension between the two, setting up a dynamic clash as they try to navigate the unsettling world they’ve been trapped in.
