Chainsaw Manhas been on a strong run recently. After several arcs where it seemed like the characters were going through the motions, the story has breathed new life into the narrative with things like thefull reveal of the Death Deviland the twists with the fake Chainsaw Man, and the story has never been more exciting.
The build-up toChainsaw Man’s final arc has been better than most people probably thought it would be, and that can especially be seen in chapter #209.
Chapter #208 teased Yoru’s death, but was obviously a fake-out that Chapter #209 quickly resolved. In doing so, however,Chainsaw Manchapter #209 dropped one of the manga’s biggest cliffhangers. It’s a twist that perfectly sets the stakes for the final arc, and there’s no telling where things could go from here in the best of ways.
Chainsaw Man Gives Yoru A Massive Power-Up Years In The Making
Chainsaw Man’s Latest Twist Explained
Following chapter #208’s cliffhanger of Yoru getting stabbed in the head by the Falling Devil, not only did she suddenly fully recover, but she gained a tremendous boost in strength and speed that allowed her to completely overpower the Falling Devil single-handedly.
At first, it wasn’t clear what happened, but the end of the chapter revealed the startling truth:Yoru gained a power boost after America rebuilt nuclear weaponry and bombed Russia.
What’s especially notable about the return of nuclear weapons is that it confirms a major theory aboutPochita’s special power.
Up until now, it wasn’t clear if the concepts Pochita erased could be rebuilt or if erasure meant they were gone forever, but chapter #209 makes it clear that concepts erased by Pochita can be restored, and hopefully, the exact mechanics of that will soon be defined.
Chainsaw Man’s Latest Twist Makes Its Final Arc Bigger Than Ever
How Chainsaw Man Sets The Stage For Its Final Arc
At the time of writing, everything inChainsaw Manhad taken a turn for the worse as the Chainsaw Man War raged behind the scenes and the Death Devil’s prophecy got closer to coming true.
With America reinventing nuclear weapons and immediately using them on Russia, it’s clear that things are entering a state of chaos unlike anything that’s ever been seen before.
All chapters ofChainsaw Manare available on Viz Media’s Shonen Jump App and on Shueisha’s own Manga Plus app.
All of that, of course, perfectly befitsChainsaw Manentering its final arc; the final arc is all about a doomsday prophecy slowly coming true, so having the world be on the cusp of nuclear warfare highlights just how terrible a situation Denji and Asa have to overcome to save the world.
It’s easily one of the biggest developments someone could ask for, and there’s no telling whereChainsaw Manwill go from here.
