Chainsaw Man Chapter 156: Release Date, Speculations, Read Online

Nayuta almost gets killed by the mob in chapter 155 of Chainsaw Man, titled “The Old Me.”

It was a shocking chapter with a twist no one saw coming. The manga is slowly getting back into its old groove, and things are getting messier with every chapter. 

Barem used his pistol to provoke the mob to believe Nayuta needed to be put down. Her killing was interrupted by a flashback. The narrative of the flashback shifted from being about Nayuta to revealing a haunting truth about Denji’s past. 

Here are the latest updates.

3. Chapter 156 Speculations

Nayuta’s fate will be decided in chapter 156 of Chainsaw Man. 

I. The Shocking Reveal

Denji, being the murderer of his father, is as shocking as it can get. I am eager to see where the manga will go after this reveal. Since the first chapter of the manga, Denji was a victim, but not anymore. Now, we have a new way to look at him. 

This twist needs a lot of explanation for it to be believable and noteworthy. Or it will just be considered something put in for shock value. 

II. Nayuta’s Fate

Generally, a flashback shows up just before a character is about to die in a manga. Nayuta was about to get a fatal blow before we were pulled into a flashback, so we can say that Nayuta will get brutally wounded by the mob. 

However, the question that arises is, what will happen after that? Not a soul around Nayuta wants to see her alive. I am so eager to see how Nayuta makes her escape from the mob. Will she be able to reunite with Denji? Only time will tell. 

4. Chapter 155 Recap

A woman from the mob stops others and asks them to calm down and think things through before killing or attacking Nayuta. Barem realizes that his gun is out of bullets.

Suddenly, he points the gun at his head and starts yelling that Nayuta is taking over his body. Nayuta tries to deny the allegations, but Barem’s voice overshadows hers. A man rushes to attack her, but before we can see her getting hit, we enter a flashback.

The flashback starts from when Denji takes her to his house for the first time. Nayuta feels pity for Denji and wonders why she wants to take his heart. She questions her identity and looks into Denji’s mind to find the answer.

She finds out that her old name was Makima. Nayuta discovers that destroying his desire for a normal life will awaken Chainsaw Man, just like her older version wanted. 

She decides to offer him a normal life, giving him happiness, only to destroy it in the end. She thinks that awakening Chainsaw Man will help her find who she is.

They live an ordinary life. Nayuta calls Denji an idiot for not thinking about anything. He tells her not to say mean things before bed. She says that he is a student and Chainsaw Man, but she doesn’t know who she is.

He tells her that she is his family. She calls him Chessy. A young Denji appears, calling out the present one by saying that he will never have a normal life because he himself threw it away when he chose to become Chainsaw Man. 

He reveals that he killed his own father, which shows he can never have a family. Denji opens his eyes from the nightmare to find himself lying in a hospital.
