What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 209 (speculative)?

Chainsaw Man chapter 209 will begin by showing Asa-Yoru’s fate, where it is revealed whether they can regenerate after being pierced through their head by the Falling Devil, or if their life hangs in the balance due to their gruesome injuries.

Regardless of what happens, the next installment will likely force Denji to take a more proactive role in the battle since his partner-in-crime is out of commission. While the protagonist has not been too involved in the battle against the Falling Devil due to his internal turmoil, seeing Yoru in a critical state may finally give him the motivation he requires.

Finally, the chapter may also give insight into why Yoru blushed and refused to turn Denji into her weapon. Many fans have already theorized this to be because the War Devil has fallen in love with Chainsaw Man, which could lead to a confusing situation since even Asa has shown to care about the protagonist.


Chainsaw Man chapter 208 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 208, titled Changed My Mind, continued Yoru and Denji’s battle against the Falling Devil. Despite the War Devil having launched every weapon in her arsenal, the antagonist was left unharmed.

The Falling Devil explained that the fear of falling was present within humans ever since they gained awareness, while war was merely a created concept, due to which she couldn’t be defeated. The antagonist then decided to inflict minor wounds on her opponents to prevent them from interfering further.

Denji picked up Yoru and immediately started running away, while the Falling Devil unleashed a barrage of weapons behind them. Though the protagonist asked his companion to make a motorcycle, she was unable to use any materials to create it. The two then entered a nearby house where a panicked resident was staying.

While the Falling Devil’s attack had momentarily stopped, Yoru decided to use her Ultimate Weapon 2 and placed her hand on Denji’s head, intending to transform him. Asa immediately intervened and told the protagonist to run away. However, to her surprise, Denji agreed to be turned into a weapon if it would lighten his sins.

Just as the protagonist seemed destined to become the War Devil’s pawn, Yoru herself turned down his offer with a blushing face. At that moment, as Denji expressed his astonishment, the Falling Devil’s weapons broke through the house, piercing Yoru’s head.
