What to Expect in Chapter 178
In Chapter 178, it looks like Yoru will launch a major attack involving the Statue of Liberty. We might get some insights into Yoru’s actions, possibly through explanations from the U.S. government or its version of Public Safety. There’s speculation that another devil, linked to Yoru’s war heritage, could be imprisoned within the statue. Whether Yoru is summoning this devil for help or using the statue as a weapon remains unclear, but a big confrontation with Pochita is definitely on the horizon.
Recap of Chapter 177
In Chapter 177, titled “Trigger Finger,” the action kicks off with Yoru trying to take another shot at Pochita. He manages to block it, but the impact sends him crashing into a building nearby. As Yoru senses Asa behind her, she reflects on how the Tank and Gun Devils were born from war and are like family to her. Asa struggles with the moral implications of their battle and asks Yoru if killing Black Chainsaw Man will allow Denji to live a normal life. Yoru confirms this, mentioning it’s what Fami told them.
Asa challenges Yoru about her willingness to use her kin as weapons, leading Yoru to provocatively question whether children are mere property of their parents, which shocks Asa. Meanwhile, Pochita watches from the roof, and when Yoru angrily demands a fight, Pochita chooses to flee. Yoru then sacrifices 400,000 fingers from National Pistol Association members for another attack on Pochita. The chapter wraps up with Asa striking a pose reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty as it begins to crack.
