Chapter 203 of Chainsaw Man, released this Tuesday, May 20th, advances the direct confrontation between Denji and Fakesaw Man. The sequel picks up right where the previous chapter ended, with the fake Chainsaw intensifying his attacks and Denji trying to evade his blows. The problem is that, with each dodge, the humans trapped in the enemy's body are hit, begging Denji to save them.

Amidst the conflict, one of the human faces warns that Denji's deviations only hurt them more. He suggests the protagonist aim for the enemy's heart, trying to eliminate him without killing innocents. Denji argues that, like in video games, the minions die when the boss is defeated. This response angers a woman, and Fakesaw attacks again, this time exposing his heart. Denji hesitates when he sees a human face emerging from the target and is struck shortly after.
Yoru's intervention and Denji's dilemma
Thrown against a building, Denji crashes through a wall before Yoru, the Demon of War, enters. She tells him he won't win as long as he pities his victims. Denji replies that he doesn't like the idea of killing them, as it would reduce the number of people who love him. Yoru counters, stating that even if he saved them, he would be quickly forgotten, as happened with Asa Mitaka.
The character offers help after illustrating her point with the example of Asa, whose fame was fleeting. Denji and Yoru exchange silent glances until the building begins to tilt. The collapse is the work of the Falling Devil, who reveals that he lifted the entire structure into the air. As debris falls, the villain addresses the audience below with threatening phrases.
She orders everyone to "feel fear" and "become the main ingredients," making her desire for destruction clear. Someone launches the construct toward the defenseless crowd, without hitting them directly, but passing very close. Among those threatened is Fami, the Hunger Demon, who watches everything with an expression of terror.
Tense atmosphere announces a new phase of the plot
The simultaneous appearance of Yoru, Falling Devil, and Fami marks a turning point in the narrative. Although the chapter doesn't bring immediate conclusions, it sets the stage for larger clashes. Yoru's intervention indicates an unexpected alliance, while the building's collapse hints at dire consequences.
Fami's presence at the scene heightens the gravity of the situation. Despite being a powerful entity, she appears vulnerable to the imminent attack. This detail highlights Falling Devil's power and foreshadows an escalation in the confrontations between the main demons.
At the same time, Denji's moral conflict reinforces the duality that drives the character. Torn between saving innocents and defeating the enemy, he faces a dilemma that could define his next steps. Yoru's speech echoes this impasse, underscoring the fleeting nature of public admiration.
Expectations for the next chapters of Chainsaw Man
The narrative constructed in chapter 203 suggests that the conclusion of the second part of Chainsaw Man is near. The presence of central characters and the growing tension indicate that decisive confrontations are approaching. The possible arrival of the Death Demon, already speculated by fans, should further intensify the climax.
For readers, this episode's more restrained pace may seem frustrating. Still, the focus on strategic dialogue and symbolic constructions demonstrates the author's dedication to paving the way for a powerful conclusion. The use of metaphors about fame and oblivion reinforces the critical tone present in previous arcs.
With this, Chainsaw Man moves toward a conclusion that promises to combine drama, action, and existential reflection. Chapter 203, while discreet in terms of direct action, plants the seeds of a clash that could redefine the course of the story.
