Denji and Asa are still stuck in the Aging World. However, Denji came up with a plan to escape this world. The Aging Devil offered Pochita a deal to heal. If Pochita eats the Aging Devil, he would recover, and his deal with Public Safety would be fulfilled.

Pochita and Denji Declined Aging Devil Offer
The deal involves 10,000 Japanese children being murdered in front of mirrors at the same time. In return, the Aging Devil would get eaten by Pochita/Chainsaw Man, erasing the concept of aging from their world.
However, Pochita declined (in his own way) even though he was badly hurt by the attacks by War Devil. Then Aging Devil decided to convince Denji.
He also declined the offer since obviously, he does not want to kill 10,000 children. He also wanted to make Chainsaw Man a superhero, but things took a huge turn due to Denji’s grief.
The aging Devil tells Denji there’s no way out of the Aging World. He explains how the countless trees around them were once humans who, like Denji, tried to escape. Over time, they gave up and lost all hope, which turned them into trees.
Denji’s Escape Plan
While Denji knows that there is no way of escaping this world, he found a way to heal Pochita in the real world since Pochita can simply kill Aging Devil and this way Denji and Asa/Yoru can come out of this world.
Unlike everyone else stuck there, his stomach is still in the real world. Meanwhile, Asa crafts an axe using the tooth of a devil she puked up earlier.
Denji uses the axe to chop down one of the human trees, and when he eats its insides, it regenerates Pochita and restores his powers back in the real world.

Aging Devil Contract With Public Safety Members
The Aging Devil warns the Public Safety members that Chainsaw Man is now coming for them and the Aging Devil.
Aging Devil makes a desperate deal with the nearby Public Safety members since he knows Chainsaw Man is not coming to eat him, but to kill him.
He proposes a contract: let him use their bodies as weapons, and they will be spared from Chainsaw Man’s wrath.
Public Safety Members Sacrifice
The first thing the Aging Devil does is sacrifice their nails, using them to slice Pochita clean in half. He says he will force-feed himself to Chainsaw Man.
While in pain, Fumiko says, “Don’t worry about us, just use us,” and reminds everyone about the Prophecy of Nostradamus.

The whole plan was to ensure that Chainsaw Man eats and erases aging from the world so that if the prophecy is fulfilled and the Death Devil does arrive, they will be immortal.
Fumiko is ready to die for the cause to evolve humanity. However, she doesn’t know that if the concept of aging is removed, they would eventually become trees just like in the Aging World. And the Aging Devil didn’t reveal this to them.

The Aging Devil doesn’t hold back. He sacrifices Fumiko’s liver, causing Pochita to lose his head again while Fumiko vomits blood.
Meanwhile, Denji is still in the Aging World, eating the human trees nonstop like he is having a BBQ to keep regenerating Pochita.
Pochita’s Special Move
Aging Devil, on the other hand, targets another Public Safety member, this time sacrificing their eyes to take another shot at Chainsaw Man. The attack slices Pochita’s head clean off again.

But instead of just regenerating like before, Pochita does something totally unexpected. He revs his chainsaws and slices open his own chest.
Then, with everything he’s got, he throws his real body straight at the Aging Devil. This isn’t something Pochita does often it’s a move he only pulls when things are truly life or death. So yeah, it is clear Pochita sees the Aging Devil as a major threat this time.
CSM Chapter 187 will most likely showcase the ultimate showdown between the Primal Devil and Chainsaw Man.
Final Words
It feels like Chainsaw Man Part 2 might be wrapping up soon, but one major plot point—the Prophecy of Nostradamus still hasn’t been fully addressed.
The prophecy says that in July 1999, the Death Devil would arrive, marking the start of the Age of Devils, which would lead to human extinction.
That’s why Public Safety wants humanity to evolve they are basically trying to survive what’s coming. Meanwhile, Nayuta mentioned that both Yoru and Chainsaw Man will be needed when the Death Devil shows up.
But Yoru has her own plans she wants Chainsaw Man’s power for herself to become the most feared devil out there.
Fujimoto has been building up the Death Devil throughout Part 2, but then he introduces the Aging Devil right near the end. If the Aging World ends up being the final villain of Part 2, it would feel kind of odd after all the hype around Death Devil.
Some fans think Part 2 could be the end of Chainsaw Man entirely, but with so many loose ends and unanswered questions, it doesn’t seem like everything is getting wrapped up just yet.
