What to expect in Chainsaw Man Chapter 172?
Fans can expect to learn more about the five new devils introduced in Chapter 171, along with the strategies and objectives of the newly introduced Special Division 5. However, given the last scene of the previous chapter, fans may see a massacre take place in Chainsaw Man Chapter 172 before this can occur.
The reactions of Asa, Katana Man, Fami, and the rest of the group to Denji's new Chainsaw Man form will be crucial as well in Chainsaw Man Chapter 172. Additionally, the involvement of the Chainsaw Man Church suggests there are more conspirators in the shadows, orchestrating the entire event.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 recap
Chainsaw Man Chapter 171, titled Special Division 5, begins with Denji's immediate and intense reaction upon seeing Nayuta's severed head on the conveyor belt. Enraged, Denji lashes out at Barem, who offers a cold apology, claiming his actions were necessary to save the world.
As Denji's fury mounts, his intestines begin to extend from his body, wrapping around his neck, initiating his transformation into the Chainsaw Devil. This violent transformation culminates in Denji ripping Barem's head off.
Asa and Yoru watch in astonishment as Denji completes his transformation. Chainsaw Man Chapter 171’s attention is then diverted to a nearby rooftop where a man is giving orders to teams from multiple Public Safety Divisions. He addresses his own team, composed of five Fiends, explaining that the outcome of their mission to either kill or immobilize the Black Chainsaw Man will determine their future.
Success means protection under Public Safety, while failure results in their elimination like any other Devil. To motivate the devils, he promises unlimited sushi and booze if they succeed. With the stakes high, he initiates the mission for the newly reformed Special Division 5.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 concludes as the team heads out, but unbeknownst to them, the Chainsaw Devil, now fully transformed, is already near them. Denji stands amidst the rubble of the ruined building behind the rooftop, watching them as his chainsaws whir.
