Among the myriad speculations swirling within the fan community, one particular prediction proved to be spot-on: the entrance of a Public Safety Devil Hunter, introducing a formidable new challenge for Asa and her companions.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 159 Sees Nobana’s Encounter With Transformed Humans
Chapter 159 of Chainsaw Man commenced with Haruka Iseumi extending an offer to Nobana Higashiyama and Seigi Akoku, suggesting they need not accompany him further. Seigi, expressing a lack of alternatives, decided to join, while Nobana, though unsure of the way out, expressed a desire to leave.
As Nobana approached what he believed to be an exit door, he stumbled upon a disquieting sight: a room containing humans transformed into Chainsaw Men. Startled, he and the Guillotine Devil, Guilly, attracted the attention of Iseumi, Fami, and Asa, prompting them to investigate.
It was then revealed that the individuals in the room were leading ordinary lives until recently, their sudden transformation raising perplexing questions.
The one divulging this information was none other than a Public Safety Devil Hunter, tasked with monitoring Denji and potentially terminating him should he attempt to escape.
The Devil Hunter went into the mysterious nature of the transformation, citing prevalent theories regarding its triggers.
Among them were speculations about excessive admiration for Chainsaw Man or the existence of hidden monsters among his worshippers.
As the discussion unfolded, Nobana remained frozen in place, amazed by the Devil Hunter’s revelations.
The atmosphere grew tense as the Devil Hunter addressed the group, referring to them as the “Chainsaw Man fan club,” and posed unsettling questions about the manifestation of chainsaws on loved ones’ heads.
In a poignant moment, the Devil Hunter touched the glass separating him from his transformed wife, confirming her identity. Iseumi’s shock mirrored the group’s unease as the Devil Hunter lamented his wife’s fate, questioning the fairness of their circumstances and the absence of divine intervention.
Amidst the existential ponderings, the Devil Hunter grappled with the injustice of his situation, grappling with the notion of morality and innocence in the face of inexplicable tragedy.
In Chapter 159 of Chainsaw Man, Iseumi’s repeated calls to the still-immobile Nobana go unanswered, while Asa confronts the Devil Hunter, questioning whether he has ever erred in his life. In response, the Devil Hunter reluctantly admits to a past indiscretion involving an office romance, albeit one that lasted only six months.
As tensions escalate, War Devil Yoru begins to assert control over Asa’s body, casting judgment upon the Devil Hunter and accusing him of stalling. In a swift maneuver, she kicks Fami in the back, narrowly averting a collision with Katana Man, who bursts through a nearby wall in pursuit.
The sudden appearance of Katana Man triggers Fami’s frustration, compounded by Guilly’s transformation into his totem form.
Fami’s dismay escalates when the Nail Fiend emerges, poised to strike, prompting Asa to intervene and redirect the impending attack.
Amidst the chaos, Fami reels from the blow, her nose bleeding, while the Nail Fiend taunts Yoru for her lack of gentleness. The chapter ends with Yoru poised for confrontation, setting the stage for a new battle against Fami in the ensuing issue.
Notably, it is confirmed that the series will continue without interruption, ensuring fans’ uninterrupted immersion in the unfolding narrative.
