Recap of Chainsaw Man Chapter 196
In Chapter 196, the narrative unfolds with a new student expressing sympathy for her peers as their teacher departs, only to be ignored, leading her to tears. A classmate approaches her, suggesting she contribute to the festival preparations, but she rejects the notion, believing that her powers elevate her status beyond mundane tasks.
As conversations continue, she displays a sense of superiority, even dismissively advising others to occupy themselves with trivial tasks if they wish to help. A pivotal conversation occurs when the boy returning from his chore advises her to join them with a positive demeanor. She cryptically assures him of her ability to save them through death as she manifests as the Death Devil, leading to a climactic reveal of a grotesque Fakesaw Man instead of Denji.
Anticipated Developments in Chainsaw Man Chapter 197
In the upcoming Chainsaw Man Chapter 197, readers can expect a continuation of interactions between the Death Devil and Fakesaw Man. It is anticipated that the Death Devil will formally acknowledge Fakesaw Man, mistaking him for Denji in his unfamiliar monstrous guise.
The chapter will likely underline the differences between Fakesaw Man and Denji, shifting focus to Denji’s whereabouts, possibly intertwining with Asa Mitaka or War Devil Yoru’s narrative threads. Additionally, the chapter may conclude with significant revelations as either the Famine Devil Fami or Hirofumi Yoshida delivers urgent news about the Death Devil’s appearance.
