What to expect in Chainsaw Man Chapter 166?

In Chainsaw Man Chapter 166, we will likely see Katana Man and Asa argue over their next course of action for Denji. Katana Man will likely adamantly insist on heading to the Soapland to lift Denji's spirits, emphasizing its potential to provide immediate relief. However, Asa will likely oppose the idea, likely expressing discomfort with the suggestion given their current circumstances and Denji's emotional state.

Amidst the heated exchange, a compromise will likely be reached as they decide to first visit the sushi place, as both Fami and Denji were hungry. They may decide to head to the Soaplands after this in Chainsaw Man Chapter 166.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 165 recap

Chainsaw Man Chapter 165 is titled Everyday Scenery and opens with the group making their way to a train station. Along the way, Denji spots the body of a Pseudo-Chainsaw Man, a grim sight that unsettles him deeply. Haruka casually remarks that a train station attendant will take care of it, but Denji insists that this occurrence isn't normal. Asa explains to Denji that such occurrences have become commonplace.

Boarding the train, Fami suggests various sushi restaurants they could visit, but the devastation caused by recent events leaves them with limited options. They settle for a budget restaurant called Sushishi, where Nobana expresses her appreciation for the tea. Denji's attention is drawn to a mother and her injured son on the train, prompting him to question Asa about her motives in fighting him.

Asa explains that defeating him could potentially save him from his fate as Chainsaw Man, a prospect that Denji finds unsettling. Fami elaborates on the plan to break Denji's contract with Pochita and grant him a new heart, allowing him to live as a human. Denji, skeptical of Fami's knowledge, questions Asa's trust in her. Asa defends Fami, citing her assistance in their rescue mission and her apparent desire to do what's right.

However, Fami's stomach growling interrupts their conversation, making Denji’s doubts about her sincerity deepen in Chainsaw Man Chapter 165. Denji probes further, questioning Asa's definition of a ‘normal life’ and recounting a childhood memory of eating toilet paper out of necessity. He expresses his inability to return to his previous life, but Asa remains determined to restore normalcy for him.

Meanwhile, Katana Man's mocking demeanor prompts Asa to assertively defend Denji, reminding him of Denji’s dire circumstances. As Chainsaw Man Chapter 165 concludes, Katana Man suggests they take Denji to the Saoplands, as he believes this will help Denji cheer up.

Keep an eye on Pinkvilla for more updates on Denji’s search for normalcy in the Chainsaw Man manga.
