In the recent release of Chainsaw Man Chapter 158, readers were introduced to the intriguing Guillotine Devil amidst Fami and Asa’s daring invasion to rescue Denji. Despite the focus primarily on their mission, the spotlight shifted unexpectedly as Fami summoned this formidable ally in the face of imminent danger from encroaching security forces.
The Guillotine Devil quickly stole the show with its striking character design and the seamless execution of its abilities.
While the depth of its powers and background remains largely unexplored at this juncture, its introduction offers a tantalizing glimpse into Fami’s capabilities and perhaps hints at her true motivations.
As readers go deeper into this latest addition to the Chainsaw Man universe, the emergence of the Guillotine Devil promises to add layers of complexity to the ongoing narrative, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what lies ahead in the series.
Fami’s Enigmatic Move Sets the Stage for Future Conflicts With Guillotine Devil
Chapter 158 of Chainsaw Man picks up right where the previous one left off, thrusting readers into the midst of Fami and Asa’s confrontation with the guards. In a bold move, Fami unleashes the Guillotine Devil upon their adversaries.
This peculiar creature, resembling a fusion of a guillotine and a pigeon, emits incessant cries of its own name, much to Fami’s irritation as they engage in combat.

During the skirmish, Fami cryptically remarks that the Guillotine Devil’s strength is diminished due to a contractual agreement she made, withholding further details from Asa despite his persistent inquiries.
This enigmatic behavior only adds to the intrigue surrounding Fami’s character, hinting at hidden agendas and unspoken truths that are sure to unfold in future chapters.
Despite its subdued power, the Guillotine Devil showcases glimpses of its formidable abilities, effortlessly slicing through weapons and even the guards’ attire.
A fan theory speculates that its diminished strength may also stem from society’s waning fear of guillotines compared to centuries past, though this remains conjecture.
While Chapter 158 primarily serves to introduce the Guillotine Devil and facilitate the liberation of Kobeni’s brother, it sets the stage for pivotal developments in the chapters to come.
Many fans eagerly anticipate Asa’s reunion with Denji and the revelation of his secret identity. However, given Tatsuki Fujimoto’s narrative style, such expectations may be subverted in unexpected ways.
The looming presence of Public Safety and their efforts to thwart Asa and Fami’s reunion with Denji foreshadow future conflicts, possibly involving figures like Hirofumi Yoshida.
Fans, disappointed by the lack of a complete showdown between Yoshida and Asa, anticipate a potential rematch as tensions escalate in the narrative. As the plot unfolds, readers remain on the edge of their seats, eager to see how these intricate threads will intertwine in the chapters ahead.
