Though Chainsaw Man Half 2 was a sluggish burn saga, there was all the time a way of foreboding about it. Because the dramatic entrance of the Fireplace Satan, Denji has been put by the wringer, culminating within the devastating occasions of Chapter 170.
Nayuta, the one individual Denji actually cared about, was torn away from him within the chaos attributable to Barem and his group.
And the stunning conclusion of the ultimate chapter leaves her destiny unsure, with the very actual risk that she is lifeless.
The ultimate moments of Chapter 170 had been a devastating blow, not simply to Denji, however to all the Chainsaw Man fandom. Whereas Nayuta could have been a reincarnation of Makima, she was a beloved character in her personal proper, very totally different from her predecessor.
Since Fujimoto has an enormous shock for the readers, we attempt to discover out if Nayuta is admittedly lifeless.
Is Nayuta actually lifeless?
Primarily based on the occasions of Chainsaw Man chapter 170, it appears that evidently Nayuta is certainly lifeless. She was probably killed by Barem after the destruction of the Fireplace Satan.
That might clarify how her head ended up on the sushi belt!
In the event you keep in mind appropriately, Nayuta and Denji had been separated in chapter 153, when she created a gap for Denji to flee the mob that was out for his blood. And some chapters later, we see the identical mob about to assault a cornered Nayuta.
Since then, we have now not acquired any updates on what occurred to her. Nonetheless, we are able to conclude from the newest improvement that Nayuta has certainly fallen prey to Barem, who was the primary instigator of the mob towards Nayuta.
Usually, after a cliffhanger like that, I might maintain out hope for a personality return, particularly when it is somebody as vital and beloved as Nayuta.
However realizing Fujimoto, he is not attempting to lure us in right here with Nayuta’s head on the sushi belt. Thoughts you, this is similar man who wrote Fireplace Punch.
Explanation why Nayuta is unquestionably gone:
Initially, in case your copium relies on the truth that characters like Quanxi returned in Half 2 after being omitted from the earlier half, then you’re sadly mistaken.
Quanxi is a hybrid, and they’re canonically established as immortal within the manga. Devils, however, could be killed. Nayuta is the management satan, not a satan or hybrid.
And in contrast to Makima, she did not have a contract hack that might make her surpass mortal wounds. She additionally wasn’t as robust as her predecessor.
This was evident throughout her transient battle with the group. Not solely was the variety of folks she may management restricted to 3, she was additionally unable to manage a hybrid like Barem. By way of power, Nayuta was nowhere close to Makima.
If she is one head brief, there’s a good probability she can’t be saved.
The optimistic right here although is that if Nayuta is really lifeless, she shall be reincarnated in Hell – as with each satan who has met his finish. It’s going to solely give Denji extra impetus to go discover her and possibly Energy from there.
One other doable trace that Fujimoto gave us about Nayuta’s standing got here in chapter 167. This chapter shall be revealed as a result of Asa jerks off Denji. Nonetheless, it was additionally the chapter that might have predicted Nayuta’s dying.
Within the stated chapter, Yoru abruptly will get the sensation that she has kissed Denji earlier than.
I imply, they’d kissed again earlier than in chapter 119. The explanation why Yoru and Asa by no means keep in mind that although is as a result of Nayuta altered their recollections.
So if Yoru regained her reminiscence to some extent, it means she was now not below Nayuta’s affect. However then it ought to solely be doable to interrupt freed from Nayuta’s management if she dies.
And why do I say this? As a result of Fujimoto had already hinted at this in Chainsaw Man half 2! In chapter 139, when Miri Sugo (self-proclaimed Sword Man) was attempting to recruit Denji into the Chainsaw Man church – he talked about an fascinating level – that Denji was the one who killed Makima and freed him.
Now we all know that the weapon hybrids had been below Makima’s management. So if Sugo was launched after Makima died, then the identical could be stated for Nayuta and Yoru.
The explanation Yoru in all probability nonetheless remembered her kiss with Denji was as a result of Nayuta had already died by then.
Alternatively…
There are additionally followers who refuse to consider that Nayuta is definitely lifeless. For instance, a person on X (previously Twitter) identified that Nayuta’s decapitated head on the sushi belt had a slight design change.
Nayuta has a mole below her left eye. Nonetheless, the Nayuta in chapter 170 didn’t appear to have this. And this has given many followers hope that their beloved character will return.
Nonetheless, it’s truthful to notice that the writer has usually made such small errors, particularly with Yoshida, who additionally has a birthmark.
Fami’s response, or lack thereof, additionally caught the eye of many followers. Whereas some theorize that she orchestrated all the situation, others consider that her nonchalant response means that the severed head on the sushi belt could not truly be Nayuta’s.
And if Nayuta had been to emerge from this ordeal unscathed, I am very curious to see what Fujimoto does with the story from that time on.
Do you suppose Nayuta is admittedly lifeless after the occasions of CSM 170? Let me know what you suppose within the feedback beneath!
