Chainsaw Man Part Two has captivated audiences with an intricate narrative filled with suspenseful mysteries. Right from its debut chapter, the series has provided tantalizing hints while keeping the overarching storyline shrouded in secrecy, which has left readers in a state of both eagerness and perplexity. This unique storytelling approach isn’t new for author Tatsuki Fujimoto, who is recognized for infusing his works with elements of surreal mystery, but it has reached new heights in the second part of Chainsaw Man.
This deliberate strategy of gradually divulging a larger narrative often amplifies the impact of major revelations, compelling fans to reevaluate their understanding of events and question the nature of reality within the storyline. One significant instance of this occurred when the community grappled with the shocking news of Nayuta’s demise in chapter #170, titled “How to Eat Sushi.”Despite the graphic depiction of her death, many fans clung to the hope that she might still be alive, a sentiment that has recently been challenged.

Recent Volume Confirms Nayuta’s Death
As Chainsaw Man approaches what appears to be the climax of Part Two, the release of Volume #20 in Japan—featuring Asa on the cover—has sparked significant discussion. Each volume of manga typically includes a character profile section that summarizes important information about the cast and their recent activities. Unfortunately for the hopeful, Nayuta’s profile explicitly states that she was killed due to the machinations of the Chainsaw Man Church, as translated and shared by X user D_Kumii.
Given that Nayuta’s severed head was displayed as part of a ploy to reveal the true Chainsaw Man, the despairing evidence of her demise should not have come as a surprise. However, in the unpredictable world of Chainsaw Man, it is best not to dismiss any possibilities just yet.

Recent Plot Twists Encourage a Beam of Hope
In an unexpected turn of events, chapter #198—titled “It’s Fami!”—has taken the Chainsaw Man narrative into new territory, reshaping previous assumptions. The revelation that a character previously believed to be the Famine Devil is, in fact, the formidable Death Devil significantly alters the context of Part Two. The specifics of Fami’s involvement with the Chainsaw Man Church remain ambiguous, but it is evident that her intentions aligned with strengthening Yoru and Pochita.
Should Fami have played a role in Nayuta’s fate, it raises questions about her culpability regarding her sister’s death. This ambiguity lends credence to the lingering hope that Nayuta may still be alive. With the series gearing up to address numerous unresolved questions, including Yoru’s prediction that Control will eventually confront Death, fans are left in anticipation, wondering if Nayuta will resurface.
In recent weeks, excitement has swelled within the community, not only due to the anticipated U.S. release date for the upcoming film but also due to the manga’s unexpected twists. Following some critiques from the manga readership, it appears that Chainsaw Man has reaffirmed its position as a leading force in the new generation of shōnen storytelling.
