Chainsaw Man Chapter 172 recap

Chainsaw Man Chapter 172 is titled Bzzz! Boom! Chomp!, and opens with Special Division 5 about to begin their assault. A friend with a crocodile head receives an order from her devil half to jump, and she complies just as the Chainsaw Devil strikes, dismembering the entire group. 

Initially, she celebrates, only to realize she has also been decapitated. Nearby, a commander orders Special Division 6 to commence their operation, detonating explosives directly under Pochita. In response, Pochita rushes to attack a Public Safety member but is restrained by the Centipede Devil.

The leader of Division 6 confirms that the Chainsaw Devil is bleeding just as Pochita breaks free in Chainsaw Man Chapter 172. He then orders the Pillbug Fiend to protect them, but Pochita swiftly dismembers both of them before the fiend can even try.


With his victims’ heads on his intestines, Pochita begins to feast on the Ear Devil. Public Safety monitors the entire battle through cameras, recording the specific devils that Black Chainsaw Man consumes. Meanwhile, Katana Man asks Yoru about Chainsaw Man's location.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 172 ends as Yoru senses that something seems amiss, only to realize that everyone's ears are vanishing.
