What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 212 (speculative)?

Chainsaw Man chapter 212 will likely shift the focus back to Yoru, as she gathers strength and raises her army. Meanwhile, Asa may try to reclaim her body to stop the War Devil’s schemes.

Additionally, since Denji has decided to join the Death Devil, he may be introduced to her allies as well as her plan to stop the War Devil and prevent World War 2. At the same time, it is unlikely that the protagonist will agree with Li’L D and Miri on everything due to his connection with Yoru, which may lead to friction within the group.


Chainsaw Man chapter 211 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 211, titled War, Panties, Chainsaw, kicked off with Denji’s conversation with Li’L D. He wondered if she had brought him to the classroom, while the Death Devil revealed that she and the real Famine Devil had carried him together, thereby giving away their true identities in the process.

While momentarily confused about what he heard, Denji soon regained focus and asked about Asa and Yoru. In response, the Death Devil shared that the fear of war had greatly strengthened Yoru and that she was killing Devil Hunters and building an army of devils. Li’l D told Denji that Yoru would turn him into a weapon she would use to erase Death if they met.

Denji wondered what the Death Devil’s defeat would mean, and she responded by describing a nightmare scenario where no one would ever die of old age or injury, allowing Yoru to achieve her goal of starting an unending World War 2.

Denji remained shocked as he found that the War Devil hoped to create a hateful world where humans would fight each other for all of eternity. Li’l D then explained that her prophecy was meant to wipe out mankind, but since she had tried to stop it from happening, an even worse future occurred.

Hearing all this, Denji questioned Li’L D’s story as well as her identity, since he just thought of her as a weird girl. Right then, Miri appeared and confirmed the Death Devil’s identity, though Denji only recognized him as a person he had seen before.

Realizing that they didn’t have much time left, Miri prompted the Death Devil to show Denji her belly. She then lifted her skirt and revealed the large gap in her stomach. After taking a long and perverted look at the scene in front of him, Denji decided to trust her.
