Chainsaw Man Takes Aim at the U.S. in Bloody Cliffhanger

Chainsaw Man Takes Aim at the U.S. in Bloody Cliffhanger

As a gamer with a keen eye for narrative depth, I must say that Chainsaw Man has proven to be a rollercoaster of emotions and thought-provoking content. While it may seem like a bloodbath at first glance, the manga’s intricate layers reveal a nuanced story that tackles heavy themes head-on.


From a distance, Chainsaw Man might appear overly focused on senseless violence, but upon closer examination, this manga is remarkably complex. Denji certainly enjoys his battles, yet the main characters in Chainsaw Man have dealt with some heavy subjects. Topics such as trafficking, suicide, and sexuality are woven into the storyline along with intense fighting sequences. Now, Chainsaw Man has once again pushed boundaries with chapter 177, leaving readers on a suspenseful cliffhanger that targets the United States of America.

This week saw a significant development in the storyline as original author Tatsuki Fujimoto boosted Yoru’s powers. By merging with two other devils, she now possesses the might of both the Tank Devil and the Gun Devil. Yoru leaves no room for ambiguity when she declares these devils to be war-born entities, asserting her claim over their lives. This declaration carries a heavy, foreboding tone, and it becomes even more unsettling as the manga series ‘Chainsaw Man’ sends Yoru on a trip to the United States.

The United States vs Chainsaw Man

In relation to Chainsaw Man, the United States is significant due to the Gun Devil. Yoru amplifies her abilities with a newly acquired Gun Arm, and she does this by gesturing towards the sky. The attack she intends, Yoru draws power from the Gun Devil, who in turn extracts power from its followers. As suggested in Chainsaw Man, the United States was home to numerous believers of the Gun Devil, so Yoru appropriates the index finger of 400,000 members of the National Rifle Association as a symbol of this connection.

Talk about violent, right? Well, buckle in. We are just getting started.

At the climax of chapter 177 in Chainsaw Man, Yoru harnesses the blood sacrifice from the National Rifle Association and unleashes her attack. This assault is likened to the Statue of Liberty as Yoru elevates her left arm, and when she bends her index finger, the visage of the Statue of Liberty seems to shatter. It’s uncertain what Yoru’s intentions are, but it’s evident that she’s tapping into the Gun Devil’s influence over the United States. If Yoru believes the nation is a result of war itself, then Denji’s life is about to become chaotic in a hurry.

What Is the War Devil’s Plan for the Gun Devil?

It’s clear that the recent cliffhanger in the Chainsaw Man series has sparked interest in the United States and its connection to the Gun Devil. Previously, the manga has delved into the nation’s history and its relationship with the Gun Devil, a topic Fujimoto frequently explores. Notably, the Gun Devil launched an attack on the United States in 1984, resulting in over half a million deaths within two minutes. Despite this devastating terrorist act, the reliance on guns in the nation has persisted, strengthening its bond with the Gun Devil. Now, it appears that this link could turn against the country, and the Statue of Liberty may become involved in these events.

In a straightforward manner: Yoru has expressed her intention to defeat Pochita in his true form, and she’s been provided the opportunity to do so. It appears she’ll go to great lengths to eliminate the devil if it means protecting her long-time friends. No one alive is more skilled in warfare than Yoru, and chapter 177 shows her strategic thinking more clearly than ever. Pochita (and Denji) might not want a confrontation with Yoru, but that option has been exercised. The War Devil has activated the power of the Gun Devil, and Yoru doesn’t seem inclined to abandon this tactic any time soon.
