The crazy chaos that started after Nayuta’s death and followed the Public Safety Members’ plan at the start has finally wrapped up in Chainsaw Man.
As I mentioned in my last article, I was right about Yoshida bringing the Aging Devil to the Aging World to handle the situation.
There was no other way to deal with a primal devil-like Aging. A contract was made, and now, the Aging Devil is no longer Denji’s problem.

Denji is back in the real world, and the most surprising part? He is actually sitting down and enjoying a meal with Yoshida, Fami, Fumiko (yep, she is still alive somehow), and Asa.
In Chainsaw Man Chapter 189, Fumiko said she would side with whoever came out as the winner. And that’s exactly what she did.
Her real body was willingly sacrificed so Yoshida’s octopus devil could devour her heart. This summoned a massive octopus that played a huge role in defeating the Aging Devil and helping everyone escape the Aging World.
But Chainsaw Man Chapter 190 did not really focus much on Fumiko or explain how there are now two Fumikos (one dead).
It also did not reveal what devil she has a contract with. There was, however, one panel where we see her holding a knife and smiling, while a Public Safety member is lying on the ground, looking confused after seeing her second body.

What To Expect From Chainsaw Man 191
Denji will probably confront Fami about Nayuta’s death soon. Last time, he could not because he lost control, which is exactly what the Public Safety Members and Fami wanted.
Barem Bridge was the one behind Nayuta’s death, but it is pretty clear Fami knew about it. She is the leader of the Chainsaw Man Church, and Barem was her second-in-command.

They both wanted Chainsaw Man to get stronger, which meant forcing Pochita’s true form, the ‘Black Chainsaw Man,’ to come out. This was all to prepare for the Death Devil’s arrival and stop Nostradamus’s prophecy.
Barem also has his own plans. He is obsessed with tormenting Pochita, just like Makima did. He still believes Makima could have stopped the prophecy using Chainsaw Man’s powers, but Denji killed and ate her.
Fami, like her sister Makima, is a master manipulator. She has been controlling things from the shadows since her debut in Chapter 108.
It is pretty much confirmed that Fami played the main role in Nayuta’s death to kickstart everything that has happened so far in this arc.
Denji’s character has grown a lot in this arc, so it is unlikely he will just start fighting Fami, especially since they are already sitting together and eating. But it is very likely he will call her out on it in Chainsaw Man 191.
Fumiko’s character might also get some focus. Somehow, she just won’t die! Even after her heart was devoured by Yoshida’s octopus devil, another version of her is alive and well.

She is now sided with Denji and is eating with him. Fujimoto (the author) seems to be keeping her around for something big and then there are theories about her being the death devil as well.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 190 Recap
Chainsaw Man Chapter 190, titled “To Their Respective Worlds” starts with the Aging Devil stuck in complete darkness, total oblivion, after Yoshida devoured Fumiko’s heart and summoned the giant octopus.
Aging Devil’s Confusion
At first, the Aging Devil thought he was eaten by Pochita and erased for good, but that was not the case. Then, a voice calls out to him, it is the guy who greeted Asa when she first got sent to the Aging World by the Aging Devil.
This guy has been stuck there for 82 years and explained to Asa/Yoru earlier how the rules of the Aging World work.
He has been trying to complete his thousand years and turn into a tree because he believes that once someone becomes a tree and syncs completely with the Aging World’s nature, they can return to the real world.
This guy was actually the MVP of the chapter. Aging World was actually inside the giant octopus Yoshida summoned, and he managed to grab the Aging Devil, dragging him into the Aging Devil inside the octopus by using Pochita’s stomach as a gateway to the Aging World.
Now, this part confused a lot of fans, why was not the Aging Devil erased after being eaten by Pochita? The thing is, he was not really eaten. Instead, he got wrapped up in the octopus’s tentacles and sent to the Aging World through Pochita’s stomach.

While grabbing the Aging Devil, this guy also mentioned two other names, George and Yaguchi. Apparently, these two thought they were chosen by the devil for some big, noble mission, but they ended up sending Denji to the Aging World instead.
Yaguchi, George, and I… We believed in you… We believed you’d chosen us for some noble cause… and guided us to a deathless paradise. How could you send that Devil to our world?
And, of course, Denji being Denji, started eating the trees (which are actually humans) to help Pochita regenerate back in the real world.
When the Aging Devil gets sent to its own world, it confirms the theory that devil abilities don’t work there, not even for the Aging Devil.
With everyone stuck in the Aging World, Yoshida, Asa, and Denji confront the Aging Devil, but none of them can use any devil powers.
A Deal to Escape
So, Yoshida suggests a deal. He tells the Aging Devil to let everyone return to reality and promises that no one will bother the Aging Devil again.
The terms are, that we will return to our respective worlds, and never fight each other again!
Yoshida
The Aging Devil asks, “What if I don’t agree?” That’s when Denji steps in and reveals his plan: he’ll use his stomach to send everyone else back to reality, but he’ll stay behind and keep the Aging Devil stuck there with him forever.
A Relaxing Cafe Scene
Hearing this, the Aging Devil agrees to the deal and lets everyone go. The next thing we see is Denji, Asa, Fumiko, Fami, and Yoshida chilling in a cafe, ordering food and drinks.
imagine if this is how the manga fucking ended😭😭😭

Denji, of course, orders a big chocolate cake, Fami orders the same, Fumiko gets orange juice, Yoshida goes with iced coffee, and Asa orders Royal Tea.

Then, the chapter shifts to the guy who dragged the Aging Devil into the octopus. Turns out, after returning to the real world, he’s now working as a construction worker.
But the final twist comes at the end of the chapter, Tadashi Hasegawa, Japan’s former Minister of Finance, was left behind in the Aging World.
What do you think will happen in Chainsaw Man 191? Will Denji confront Nayuta in the upcoming chapter?
Chainsaw Man Chapter 190 is now available to read on Manga Plus and Viz Media.
