The ongoing plotline in Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man manga series centers around Asa Mitaka’s ambitious plan to “save” Denji, which not only promises to evolve Asa’s character but also holds significant implications for Denji’s development.
Asa’s plan, rooted in a scheme orchestrated by the Famine Devil Fami, revolves around defeating Denji, separating Pochita (Denji’s heart, now the Chainsaw Devil), and replacing it with a human heart to further their agenda against the true Chainsaw Man.
Fami’s Fatal Flaw in Chainsaw Man
However, Chapter 165 exposes a critical flaw in Fami’s plan due to her misunderstanding of Denji and Pochita’s contract. Fami confidently asserts that Denji’s contract with Pochita is to live a normal life, believing this misconception is the key to breaking their bond. Denji’s lack of disagreement seemingly confirms this to Fami, bolstering her misguided confidence.
Nevertheless, Chapter 150 reveals crucial information that undermines Fami’s assumptions. Denji reminisces about the fulfilling moments he shared with Nayuta, signifying that their original contract for Denji to live a normal life has already been fulfilled.
Pochita’s comment during this reflection about their dream coming true hints at a new, unknown contract between Denji and Pochita.
This new contract’s specifics remain undisclosed, leaving Fami ignorant of its nature and rendering her plan to break the old contract futile. Fami’s confidence in her ability to manipulate Denji and extract Pochita from him is thus misplaced, jeopardizing her entire strategy to confront the true Chainsaw Man.
Consequently, Fami’s failure to understand the updated terms of Denji and Pochita’s contract undermines her plan to defeat Denji, separate Pochita, and install a human heart.
This critical flaw not only derails Fami’s immediate objectives but also threatens the broader implications of Asa’s salvation plan. The friction arising from this failure could strain relationships within their group and pose challenges to Fami’s overarching ambitions.
In essence, Chapter 165 of Chainsaw Man exposes Fami’s fatal error in assuming outdated information about Denji’s contract with Pochita, setting the stage for inevitable setbacks that could reverberate through the series’ intricate narrative.
