Chapter 200 of Chainsaw Man will be officially published on Wednesday, April 16th, at midnight Japanese time. The new edition will be available for free on platforms that offer the first three and last three chapters of the series.

For Brazilian readers, the release will take place on Tuesday the 15th at 12 p.m. (Brasília time). The new chapter is expected to detail the next steps for Fami and Fakesaw Man, now under the direct control of the Death Demon, the central figure of the current arc.

Death in command and uncertain fate

In the previous chapter, the manga plunged into an intense sequence that showed Death stating that, even if she disappeared, her successor would hardly have the same appreciation for humanity. In a fatalistic tone, she reinforced that the destruction of the species was inevitable given the growing fear humans feel of their own death.

Fami suggested being devoured by Chainsaw Man to erase the concept of death, but Death dismissed the idea and used it as the basis for a new plan. Before revealing his plan in full, Death interrupted his speech and took action. At the end of the chapter, he ordered Fami and Fakesaw Man to plunge humanity into terror.

The sequence of events suggests that the next chapter will show the two carrying out these orders. However, it's possible that the duo's actions will serve as a trigger for clearer explanations of the Death Demon's objectives.

Expectation of reunion with Denji and Asa

The narrative may alternate between the movements of Death's servants and conversations with the Demon of the Fall, a figure also present in the final chapters. Fans expect these interactions to reveal more about the central plan, even if it remains shrouded in mystery.

Another point of interest is the return of Denji and Asa Mitaka (also known as Yoru, the Demon of War), who haven't appeared in a few chapters. Thus, their close encounter with Fami and Fakesaw Man could lead to a direct confrontation, rekindling plot threads that have been developing since the previous arc.
