Chainsaw Man's latest chapters put Denji in a critical situation. Launched by the air by the demon of the fall, the protagonist ignored Asa's alerts and decided to act on his own. According to spoilers and theories that circulate among fans, this sequence can mark a drastic turn in the narrative.
Tatsuki Fujimoto, known for his unpredictable decisions, has not spared central characters. Now it seems that Denji himself can undergo a deep transformation or face an even more extreme destination.
Fujimoto's unpredictability continues to shape the course of history
Since the beginning of the work, the author has made it clear that no character is saved. Dying in Chainsaw Man is as common as surviving for narrative stubbornness. Hymonial, Power and Aki were eliminated in times of great tension, reinforcing the cruel logic of the universe built by Fujimoto.
With Denji facing alone one of the most powerful entities of the new phase, the risk of narrative collapse intensifies. Recent spoilers suggest that the emotional impact of the next sequence will be great, especially if the current scene is not just another false threat.
Theories point to transformation, demonic possession or sacrifice
Among the most popular speculation, the possibility of Denji stands out to become a Yoru-controlled weapon, resuming the plan seen in chapter 117. At the time, she tried to turn it into the “chainsaw spiral cord sword”, unsuccessfully. Now, with falling and vulnerable Denji, fans believe that Yoru can finally complete the ritual.
Another theory suggests that if Denji dies, Pochita could resume control and turn it into a Fiend, creating a new monstrous identity for the character. This would keep Denji in history, but radically alter his role in the plot, coherent with the patterns of Fujimoto.
Denji can be reborn as an antagonist or lose his humanity
The idea that Denji could come back as an enemy, or even as a being without his own conscience, makes room for a completely new dynamic. Asa, which today tries to protect him, could be forced to face him if he loses control. This would put the two protagonists on opposite sides of an inevitable conflict.
Moreover, the symbolism behind this possible transformation would be strong. Denji represents human desire for simple things: love, food, a ceiling. Losing this would be a brutal criticism of the exploration cycle that the character has lived since the beginning of the work.
Chainsaw Man spoilers suggest that the next chapter can change everything
Circulation spoilers for the next chapter of Chainsaw Man have not yet been officially confirmed, but many point to a shocking outcome involving Denji. If Fujimoto chooses to take him to the limit, either by death, a demonic fusion or a new form of sacrifice, the impacts will be deep not only for the protagonist, but for the entire construction of the current plot.
Tatsuki Fujimoto has already shown that he is not afraid to risk. In a manga where the only constant is the surprise, current spoilers indicate that we are on the eve of another brutal change. It remains to be seen whether Denji will closely escape or whether we are witnessing the beginning of a darker, more violent and even more unpredictable cycle.
