In Chainsaw Man Chapter 160, Asa Mitaka and the team are gearing up to take on the Special Division and the Devil Hunter who’s keeping an eye on Denji. It looks like they’re getting closer to their mission of setting Denji free.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 159 started with Haruka Iseumi informing Nobana Higashiyama and Seigi Akoku that they didn’t have to join him.
Seigi mentioned he had no other place to go, while Nobana mentioned he was just seeking an exit.
Nobana stumbled upon a door he thought led to an exit, but it turned out to be a room where the Fire Devil-transformed Fakesaw Men were being held.
The Devil Hunter responsible for Denji’s surveillance appeared and started ranting about the unjust transformations, questioning why his wife underwent such a change.
He expressed his belief that he had never done anything wrong, prompting Asa to inquire if he had never done anything even remotely questionable.
The Devil Hunter then admitted to having had an affair and betraying his wife, leading War Devil Yoru to seize control of Asa’s body and strike Famine Devil Fami.
Expectation
Chainsaw Man Chapter 160 is likely to kick off with a spotlight on Yoru and Fami, as they prepare to battle the Nail Fiend and Katana Man.
There’s a chance they might find themselves overwhelmed, especially if the current Public Safety Devil Hunter joins the fray, even though their name hasn’t been revealed yet.
This setup in Chapter 160 could potentially confirm a popular fan theory suggesting that Seigi Akoku is the Fire Devil. If Seigi does turn out to be the Fire Devil.
He might use his powers to assist Fami, considering her position as the actual head of the Chainsaw Man Church.
Thematically, this would align well, as the Fire Devil is responsible for the transformations of the Fakesaw Men, including the wife of the unnamed Devil Hunter.
