What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 203 (speculative)?

Chapter 203 of the manga will continue Denji and Yoru’s battle against Fakesaw Man. With Fakesaw Man absorbing other chainsaw people and using them as human shields, Denji’s morality and willingness to hurt innocent civilians asking for his help will be explored.

At the same time, having been paired with the unhinged Yoru, the two leads of the Academy Saga will either clash heads on how to face Fakesaw Man or quickly reach an understanding and choose a more merciless path - killing the trapped chainsaw people.

Apart from the complex choice lying ahead of the protagonist, most fans are expecting Fakesaw Man to be revealed as the Fire Devil. Having displayed abilities far surpassing a mere devil contractee, this enigmatic figure has long been foreshadowed to be the Fire Devil itself.

Additionally, both the Famine Devil and the Falling Devil are near Fakesaw Man’s location, causing chaos of their own. Should Fakesaw Man begin losing the battle, their interference can also be expected.

Chainsaw Man chapter 202 summary

Chainsaw Man chapter 202 continues to feature the Death Devil’s subordinates obeying her orders to plunge mankind into an abyss of terror. The previous installment had seen Denji and Yoru confronting Fakesaw Man, during which the protagonist was stunned by the War Devil’s cruelty toward human life.

Chapter 202 picks up from this point, with a short argument between Denji and Yoru. However, Yoru soon turned her attention towards Fakesaw Man, attacking him with her finger. As Fakesaw Man was dodging this, Denji jumped into the fray, slashing him with his chainsaws.

Fakesaw Man questioned whether Denji and Yoru were faking their argument, to which the protagonist replied that his partner was just “nuts”. Yoru, getting impatient, attempted to deal a fatal blow to Fakesaw Man, only for her target to guard himself using a human shield.

Following this, the chainsaw people who were contracted with the Fire Devil stood by Fakesaw Man’s side and started getting absorbed by him. As Fakesaw Man’s arms began growing bigger, he asked Denji whether he could cut through strangers pleading for his help.

Using his powers, Fakesaw Man removed the chainsaws from those he had absorbed, making them regular panicked citizens asking for Chainsaw Man’s help. Soon after, the antagonist attacked Denji with his extended arm, which now contained the bodies of those very people.

As Denji dodged his attack, the humans were severely injured. The chapter ends with Denji facing a moral dilemma about how to face his opponent.
