With the final battle happening between Yoru and Denji, fans are eager to know what would happen in Chainsaw Man Chapter 225. In the recent installment, we saw Yoru being extremely desperate in trying to make sure that Denji feels like her has lost this fight. Even if he truly does not lose, just invoking the feeling would allow her to turn him into her weapon. But it seems like Fujimoto likes throwing some unexpected curveballs because this battle is supposed to be leading upto the conclusion, but it has been going on for a while now.
According to official sources, it is confirmed that Chaisnaw Man Chapter 225 is going to be released on January 6, 2026. There is going to be a break week because the magazine will be taking a leave from the events at the end of the year. This would explain why readers will have to wait a little longer before we know what Fujimoto has planned next. The manga is currently available to read on Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media.
Recap of Chapter 224

In Chapter 224, Yoru revealed her plan to weaponize the American flag planted on the moon, using the United States’ symbolic claim as a “homing system.” The result was a massive spear hurtling toward Denji, narrowly missing him and obliterating everything in its path, including other devils unfortunate enough to be in the way.
However, the chapter’s biggest twist came when Yoru suddenly lost control of her own body. What initially looked like Asa’s influence turned out to be something far more literal and horrifying. Denji had already consumed the Leg Devil, stripping Yoru of her ability to move properly.
The reveal reframed the entire fight. Denji wasn’t just surviving anymore; he was actively dismantling Yoru’s perfect world by erasing devils mid-battle. For the first time in Part 2, the War Devil was reduced to panic and desperation, forced to beg Denji to stop.
What to expect from Chainsaw Man Chapter 225? (Speculative)

As Chainsaw Man Chapter 225 has an opportunity to have a turning point, chances are it could start ending this battle for the better. Denji’s warning to Yoru changes everything. By threatening to keep devouring devils unless Asa regains control of her body, Denji makes it clear that he’s no longer being manipulated. This is the most agency he’s shown in Part 2, and fans immediately noticed the shift. Readers are talking about a few important questions that could be answered in Chainsaw Man Chapter 225:
- How many devils has Denji already eaten off-screen?
- Is Death truly on his side, or is this another manipulation waiting to snap shut?
- Can Yoru even separate from Asa anymore without killing her?
- And what happens to the world if Denji keeps erasing core human fears?
Also, Chainsaw Man Chapter 225 will likely focus on the immediate aftermath of Yoru’s breakdown. Whether Asa can assert herself, whether Yoru attempts a last-ditch counterattack, or whether Death intervenes directly remains unknown. One thing is certain: the balance of control has shifted, and Fujimoto rarely lets moments like this resolve cleanly.
Final thoughts
In the end, the recent events taking place in this story have caused the fandom to speculate on what the creator is planning because the way the story has been escalating, it seems like Denji in Chainsaw Man Chapter 225 would not be afraid to erase the current timeline if it means stopping the War Devil. This fight no longer feels like a straightforward clash of power, as it is psychological and symbolic. As always with Chainsaw Man 225, expect the unexpected and probably something deeply unhinged.
