In Chapter 207 of Chainsaw Man, chaos literally takes over the heavens. Denji is at the mercy of the Falling Devil, who uses her power to manipulate gravity and negative emotions to make her victims "fall" toward the sky, while losing their sanity. Amidst this desolate scenario, Asa Mitaka emerges as the central figure, willing to risk everything to rescue the protagonist and confront one of the most dangerous entities in the series.
The Forced Ascension: How the Falling Devil Continues to Dominate the Battlefield
Since her introduction, the Falling Devil has proven herself to be a primal antagonist, an embodiment of the fear of falling, both physically and emotionally. The entity completely subdued Denji in the previous chapter, using gravity and guilt to prevent any reaction. She whispers his failures in his ear and forces the weight of his memories to push him skyward.
Asa frees himself from the rubble, defies gravity, and reaches out to Denji, not only to hold him, but to rescue him from his emotional breakdown.
Asa and Denji: Human Connection Amidst Supernatural Chaos
Despite all the tension, the chapter also features moments of vulnerability. Denji, consumed by the idea that he doesn't deserve happiness, verbalizes his self-loathing. Asa, in turn, offers comfort by stating that she wants to make him happy, even without knowing exactly how. The exchange is symbolic: in a world where demons represent humanity's deepest fears, it is precisely empathy that offers resilience.
It is in this moment of fragility that the War Devil, Yoru, regains control of Asa's body. Determined to face the Falling Devil with everything she has, she reveals that none of her previous attacks have been effective. Now, it's time to change strategy.
Yoru transforms his arm into a cannon and fires his most devastating weapon
Upon resuming command, Yoru decides to summon the power of the Tank Devil, transforming her arm into a piece of heavy artillery. The scene is visually striking: she loads the cannon with all the weapons accumulated up to that point in the story and fires at the Falling Devil in a devastating burst.
Each "bullet" materializes into a different weapon—blades, axes, spears. They all pierce the enemy in sequence, revealing the raw power Yoru had been saving for this moment. Still, the Falling Devil demonstrates her resilience by regenerating her wounds almost instantly.
The chapter ends with a pile of weapons stuck in the ground. Furthermore, Falling Devil disappears from the scene, raising questions: has she been defeated or is she simply preparing her next move?
What to expect from the next chapter of Chainsaw Man?
The Falling Devil's absence in the final moments of chapter 207 raises multiple possibilities. Has she been neutralized, or is she simply waiting for the right moment to strike back? Will Asa be able to maintain control of herself? Will Denji finally accept the help offered?
These questions should guide the next episodes, which promise to maintain the unpredictable and emotional tone that made Chainsaw Man a phenomenon in contemporary geek culture.
