The direct continuation of the confrontation between Denji and Fakesaw Man should provide important answers. The true identity of the new threat has been 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 the way for new villains to enter the scene.
Expectation of new enemies and moral dilemmas
The possible confirmation that Fakesaw Man is actually the Fire Devil could transform the story's dynamics. Denji must recognize this identity amidst the battle, which could bring greater clarity to the plot and Yoru's role in it. The action, however, must intensify before any definitive conclusion is reached.
The plight of the humans being used as shields by the enemy presents the protagonists with a difficult dilemma. The struggle to save them is likely to fail, and the narrative can explore the emotional impact of this decision. 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 greater threat is yet to come, even with the advance on the Fire Devil.
The arrival of these new antagonists should reinforce the series' dark and unpredictable atmosphere. With multiple battlefronts unfolding, Chapter 203 is poised to mark a major turning point in Denji's saga.
