In the latest chapter of Chainsaw Man (Chapter 165), Denji faces new challenges and revelations as he navigates the complex world of devils and contracts. Warning: spoilers ahead for those who haven’t read the chapter yet.
Denji finds himself in the midst of a perilous situation, kidnapped by the government due to his reemergence as the Chainsaw Man. As Denji teams up with Famine and Asa Mitaka to confront looming threats, Famine drops a bombshell revelation regarding Denji’s potential return to humanity.
Denji’s Route to Regaining Humanity
During a critical discussion about their next moves, Famine unveils a plan for Denji to shed his Chainsaw Man persona and regain his humanity. Famine explains that Denji’s supernatural powers stem from a contract tied to his heart’s power.
According to Famine, breaking this contract will summon the real Chainsaw Man, allowing them to defeat it. Subsequently, by transplanting a human heart into Denji’s body, he can revert to being an ordinary human once more.

I think Ada’s motivations go beyond just simple sympathy, there is a sense of guilt and desperation in it as well. She looks and sounds panicked, convinced that if she can get Denji to have a normal human body, everything will be right. pic.twitter.com/NjE9N1EOXx

However, the path to Denji’s transformation raises significant questions. Denji himself expresses doubt about returning to a normal life, believing it to be “impossible.” Additionally, there’s skepticism about Famine’s motives and whether she’s telling the truth or manipulating events for her own gain.
As the manga progresses, readers eagerly anticipate Denji’s decision and the unfolding consequences of his choices. The possibility of Denji abandoning his supernatural gifts adds a compelling layer to Chainsaw Man’s narrative, hinting at deeper themes of identity and sacrifice.
