The direct continuation of the confrontation between Denji and the Fakesaw Man should bring important answers. The true identity of the new threat is one of the biggest unknowns since the beginning of the current arc. The impact of this revelation could alter the balance between the central characters and open space for new villains to enter the scene.
Expectations of new enemies and moral dilemmas
The possible confirmation that the Fakesaw Man is, in fact, the Fire Devil, could transform the dynamics of the story. Denji must recognize this identity in the midst of battle, which could bring greater clarity to the plot and Yoru's role in the story. The action, however, should intensify before any definitive conclusion.
The plight of the humans being used as human shields by the enemy presents the protagonists with a difficult dilemma. The fight to try and save them must fail, and the narrative can explore the emotional impact of that decision. The tension mounts as Denji must choose between preserving lives or securing victory.
The demons Falling and Famine are expected to appear by the end of the chapter. These characters may deepen the conflict and foreshadow a new phase in the story. Their presence also suggests that the greatest threat is yet to come, even with the advance against the Fire Devil.
The arrival of these new antagonists should reinforce the dark and unpredictable atmosphere of the series. With multiple battlefronts unfolding, chapter 203 has everything it takes to mark an important turning point in Denji's saga.
