At the same time, Chapter 204 of Chainsaw Man reveals the body identity used by the enemy and officially introduces the demon of fire in its true form. The episode expands the universe of the work and prepares ground for new clashes involving central characters and still little explored villains.
Denji makes extreme decisions to save innocent and face his direct rival, even though the result removes him from the public empathy he tries to protect. The reaction of the victims once again exposes the protagonist's dilemma, which oscillates between the role of Salvador and that of monster in the eyes of society. The emergence of the new demon changes the balance of forces of the plot and suggests new directions for the narrative.
Fight between Denji and Fakesaw Man intensifies and ends with fatal blow
The opening of the chapter takes up the exact point where the previous episode ended. Denji and the war demon, Yoru, fall from a ruined building dominated by the fall. In free fall, Yoru turns the building into a sword, abandoning the scene to face his own opponent. With that, Denji finds himself alone against Fakesw Man.
Without dialogue, the enemy advances. Denji proposes a truce: freeing humans imprisoned in exchange for their lives. Fakesaw does not respond. The proposal fails. With only the struggle leaving, Denji leaves for direct confrontation. Criticizes the opponent's strategy, warns of his own limits and, between attacks, makes ironic comments that refer to his injured humanity.
After beheading Fakesaw, Denji realizes that the headless body continues to attack. He then opts for a more decisive blow. Part the enemy in half, from top to bottom. Only then can you end the threat. With this, civilians trapped in their arms are freed.
Civilians survive but react with fear when seeing Denji covered in blood
Despite saving all hostages, Denji is covered by fragments of human bodies. The pieces belong to the original host that was in the heart of Fakew Man. The view of the scene causes panic in the liberated victims. They flee the screams, ask for medical help and treat Denji with revulsion.
The situation shows one of the central axes of the series: Even when acting as a hero, Denji does not receive recognition. On the contrary, it is often treated as a monster. The irony of this rejection is highlighted by the contrast between his effort to avoid deaths and the way he is seen by the population.
This moment reinforces the character's feeling of isolation and adds an emotional layer to his trajectory. However, the pain of misunderstanding, already addressed in other stages of the series, gains new weight in the face of the scene's brutality.
Fire Demon arises and reveals connection with Fakew Man's body
With the end of the battle, the plot suffers a new turnaround. A previously absent figure appears in Denji's field of vision. It is the fire demon, now presented in its full form. The character, unlike other antagonists, does not go to the immediate attack.
Instead, she approaches the beheaded body of Fakesaw Man and points to her head. The now human face denounces that that body belonged to someone known. She asks Denji if he recognizes the person. The answer is not given, as the chapter ends at this exact point, launching a new mystery about the next events.
Thus, the revelation that the fire demon inhabited the defeated enemy's body establishes a direct connection between the two villains and anticipates the beginning of a new, possibly darker and more complex arc.
New chapter of Chainsaw Man expands universe of work and anticipates future conflicts
With the Fakew Man's fall and the entrance of the fire demon, chapter 204 breaks with the traditional structure of isolated struggles and deepens the interconnection between enemies. The connection between human bodies and demonic entities are highlighted, expanding the mythology of the series.
In addition, the episode reinforces the theme of public rejection to Denji, even in the face of heroic actions. The duality between the good he tries to practice and the way he is seen remains one of the emotional engines in history.
In addition, the formal debut of the Chainsaw Man fire demon also raises new questions. What is your true goal? Why did she share a body with Fakesaw Man? What do you expect Denji in the next chapters? These questions are open, generating expectation among readers and pointing to a new point of turning in the narrative.
