Chainsaw Man Chapter 224: The moon spear fails as Denji continues to outsmart Yoru

Chainsaw Man Chapter 224 has been released, and Fujimoto has given yet another unpredictable twist in the story. As the final fight between Denji and Yoru is ongoing, it is nothing like a normal battle because she is badly losing this fight as Denji and Pochita have combined their power and, from every angle, have overpowered her.

We see that he is continuously not only has a physical upper hand but also a mental one because of how Denji is playing mind games with her. It is established that this move needs to be made because if he, for a second, also feels like he lost, Yoru will make him her weapon. Although Chainsaw Man Chapter 224 continued to prove that Denji is not a weak player, as he has a strong mental fortitude, especially when he sets his sights on a goal.

As a protagonist, he might be flawed, but when push comes to shove, readers have noted that Denji can easily come up with an out-of-the-box solution to get himself out of a sticky situation. This week's installment is easily one of the most unsettling and emotionally draining chapters of Part 2, not because of shock deaths or overwhelming violence, but because of how completely the power dynamic between Denji and Yoru collapses.

Yoru’s moon spear plan shows her growing desperation

This chapter opens with Yoru revealing her latest plan. We see that she turns the American flag that was planted on the moon into her weapon. As she has claims over the United States, this was not a difficult task for her. In Chainsaw Man Chapter 224, Yoru turns that flag into a homing spear that can track Denji anywhere on Earth. Yet despite its overwhelming scale, the plan already feels like a last resort. Yoru isn’t acting from confidence anymore; she is improvising, throwing increasingly extreme ideas at Denji in hopes that one of them finally works.

The Lion Devil incident exposes Yoru’s moral collapse

As we know that every attack she has launched against him has not remotely worked, even this one failed. While it narrowly misses Denji and obliterates a building, it recalibrates midair and continues its pursuit, only to impale the Lion Devil instead. What follows is one of the coldest moments in Chainsaw Man Chapter 224: the Lion Devil begs Yoru for help, and she dismisses him without hesitation, blaming Denji for his suffering.

Denji’s stubborn nature turns the fight into a psychological trap

As the spear continues to batter Denji, the fight feels repetitive by design. This is where Fujimoto reframes the conflict. Yoru doesn’t actually need to kill Denji as she only needs to convince him that he is lost. That psychological requirement becomes her fatal flaw. Denji, stubborn to the core, is the worst possible opponent for that kind of victory condition. Once Denji believes something will work, he commits to it completely, no matter how much pain it costs him.

The devil-eating strategy puts Yoru in checkmate in Chainsaw Man Chapter 224

The turning point in Chainsaw Man Chapter 224 arrives when Denji suddenly changes direction and heads toward Fourth East High School. When Yoru reaches the rooftop, she stumbles, confused, weakened, and unable to move as freely as before. The reveal is brutal: Denji has been consuming devils the entire time, including the Leg Devil. That is when he finally confronts her and delivers an ultimatum: allow Asa to regain control of her body, or he will keep devouring devils until Yoru’s vision of endless war collapses entirely.

Final thoughts

Yoru in this series is now reduced from a god of war to a desperate negotiator. As she is forced to beg. Whether this leads to surrender, collapse, or something even worse, one thing is certain: Chainsaw Man Chapter 224 marks the moment the War Devil’s defeat became unavoidable.
