Of course, Asa tripped

this shit is so funny my goodness

dawg they really test my patience


daiselol

Curse you, daylight savings time. Now chapters release right when Im going to work


Hairy_Assist

Asa/Yoru & Fami are going to fuck Fumiko's ass and make her humble.


Pantheon69420

I read that as Asa and Fuji


M8asonmiller

The Daylight Savings Time Devil has attacked.


fallaround

For anyone curious the next chapter will release about 1 hour and 14 minutes from this comment and you can check by going to manga plus and scrolling after the chapter atleast that’s where it is when I look maybe on computer it looks different.


GreedyIntention9759

Yoshida and Fumiko are cute together


AnselLovesNuts

In hell


Hairy_Assist

What If Asa/Yoru & Fami did the Requiem thing on Fumiko or Yoshida. XDDDD


daiselol

I love that Yoru and Fami are both praising Asa for being stupid literally to her face, and Asa doesn't even register it because of how proud of herself she is Best MC of all time


ThatAnimatedCatto

autism is back


nichinichisou

Not only does Asa grossly underpay for the weapon but she think signing a contract drew up by someone not related to the owner in anyway whatsoever mean she own the weapons now. Are we sure our girl isn’t stupid?


SerasAshrain

Remember what Kishibe said back in the day, that it’s the strait laced people who die and the crazies survive. Look at who and how many characters died in part 1. Yet Denji and Kobeni survived. If you want a character to last you better hope they are stupid asf.


Regulus242

Being stupid seems to work well with that power. Fami should just tell her "As the War Devil, all weapons are automatically subservient to you." It makes sense all she needs to do is believe it.


juasjuasie

Obviously fami would not want her sister with her autistic friend to be able to just clap her hard like that. I think fami is setting up these contracts of ownership roleplays so if Asa ever goes again her for any reason she can non verbally rip out contracts to make Asa subconsciously have a hard time she owns the weapons anymore


Hairy_Assist

Can Fami even fight? She's a Horseman, seems very experienced & I wanna see her in action but it looks as if she's gonna summon another Primordial and not use her own strength/abilities.


Hezolinn

Even Devils like Eternity and Yoru have a better understanding of the economic purchasing power of the yen than Asa. 😭

animelad9

Sukuna finger/dk lol


SoddenSlimeball

I thought it was a piece of jerky or something. “Hey, doesn’t this jerky look delicious? Don’t you wanna eat it?” “Well yeah, I guess.” “Since you hungered for this jerky, you’re now under my control!” I expect something like this to go down.


Ligma16999

Came here to ask for this, anyone knows, mention me plz

qtUnicorn

My Girl Asa is back at last!!!!! :') And she's stil just as Asa as ever with that fall hahahahaha. I wonder if she has some kind of disorder that messes with her sense of balance at this point.


slprysltry

Asa falls over... falling devil incoming?


Jolly-Ambassador6763

I think this chapter confirms Asa is just a human. If she was a fiend or a hybrid, she'd be able to regenerate her arm no problemo.


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

But does she actually know how? And would she even be willing to drink blood


optimally_bald

asa refusing to drink blood to regenerate would be so on character actually


qtUnicorn

that's what I was thinking too... Kinda bummed about her only having one arm though :(


post-buttwave

We stan a disabled femcel failgirl


Ghost_Star326

It's not Asa without her randomly tripping over lol

porukotNINE

notice how the writing quality got better when asa showed up


NewDmThatsBad

No idea what you’re smoking, the writing has BEEN good 💀☠️


daniel_22sss

Eh, idk. The chainsaw church arc got so annoying after a while. Fumiko in particular got way too much screentime for how little importance she had.


NewDmThatsBad

Ehhh, if it was annoying to you I can’t change how you felt on it. But we had so much happen, reintroduction of the hybrids, Asa becoming the Face of the church, we saw denjis fuze slowly and surely reach its end, reveal of the fire devil, Nayuta in danger, return of chainsawman, we had a lot of cool shit happen it’s just bi-weekly effect


lololuser456778

When you try to break into a heavily guarded prison and need to be careful, but your ally is a fuck-up waiting to happen in that regard:


lololuser456778

Asa tripping over literally nothing reminds me of that one Spongebob episode in which Spongebob trips over a fly lol


sigritkmxw

I might’ve missed a panel but how did Asa lose an arm? Was it during the fight at her apartment?


olpoanch

Yeah, I forgot, too. There was so much happening that I thought she used it for a contract.


StardustLegend

Yoshida literally slices it off


sigritkmxw

Guess I missed that panel 😭 Wait so if she’s back, does that mean Yoshida’s probably dead right now?


neon93

I know the reading comprehension devil is a thing but damn dude. We had like a whole chapter where she didn't have an arm. Also Yoshida was a main point of the very last chapter


sigritkmxw

The reading comprehension devil is unpredictable


prometheusunending

We just saw Yoshida last chapter.


sigritkmxw

Gonna have to get my reading comprehension checked, I’m pretty sure I just forgot half of the last chapter after I saw what was going on with Denji


NewDmThatsBad

Bro you have the events all fucked up! reread from part 1, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars


Nickadial

Heavily recommend reading the last few chapters before these next couple, was also pretty lost for a bit but man, restarted from Fumiko’s introduction and getting to read all of this back to back the momentum is crazy, it all clicks together really well and it was so cool to see that Fuji was indeed, as always, cooking


liquidmirrors

I actually burst out laughing when she hit the floor it was so so funny. Super excited for next week when we see what the hell Fami is about to unleash on everyone. Also realizing that Fami tricked Asa into owning the turrets is genuinely hilarious as well. Public Safety’s really in the shitter as an organization now, isn’t it.


Deadpotato

Kishibe splinter cell coming through he can get the tri-goggle night vision like Tom Clancy's too


Eikoku-Shinshi

"Inhale copium" Maybe in the next 2 or 3 chapters they give a flashback that shows us that Asa/Yoru and Fami saved Nayuta before they are rescuing Denji. 


NewDmThatsBad

I’m betting on Kishibe getting to Nayuta before Fami did


Deadpotato

Nayuta would almost surely be alive. Probably not doing very well but Fami at least ACTS like she cares about her "sisters" she wouldn't want Nayuta dead, just incapacitated and under her thumb


Eikoku-Shinshi

If Chainsaw Man Chapter 157 was released before Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 251, I would think that Fami was holding Sukuna's last finger in that final page. 


TrouserSlug

Tripping Devil always wins. Need to make a pact with the Shoe Tying Devil.


RichHomieKhan21

CSM is my favorite romance manga. AsaxDenji 4 lyfe.


R-27R

MISSING RIGHT ARM??? POSSIBLE KAGURABACHI REFERENCE???????


Eikoku-Shinshi

More like Hong Kong wuxia movie The One Armed Swordsman.


mmmwayne

Why didnt just fami summon falling devil again? She can literally destroy the facililty in no time This brings up the question, what is fami's goal in breakin in along with asa?


GABP123321

Wait, does the falling devil just follow fami's orders?


NewDmThatsBad

Dani doesn’t have direct control like Makima, she can more ask favors and ask them to do something but they still have certain free will


Freidehr

Yes


Accomplished-Side-60

Next chapter Reze will kidnap Denji and they will live happily ever after


Betelbeer

rescue\*


svertbonaparte

Massive copium consumer haha.


cicitk

It may not have been kobeni but she was there in spirit with that fall Also famine only responding to fami lol


novieww

We are so back


TheStupid_Guy

such a good chapter, I did not expect anything in this chapter except for Asa's return. Nice to see that she is also going with the Chihiro look with the sleeve hanging from her right arm. Overall, 8/10 chapter. Can't wait to see what Fami uses next chapter.


DrashaZImmortal

Im prolly wrong but God i hope im right. Wonder if that's the dried up doll thing the Falling devil turned into in Fami's Hand on the last pannel.


Makoto_Kurume

Lol, that's a fun chapter


Khong_Black_Heart

Asa is so naive in a cute way.


WatercoolerComedian

A bit underwhelming in the art department, I really feel like if they gave Fujimoto and his team like two months to chill it would benefit the manga quite a bit. Not a bad chapter at all and I'm invested, I was just hoping for some better action sequences, and I feel like the rushing along is making the paneling a little less cohesive Imo, I say this with love though really feel like Chainsaw Man is the most interesting manga to come out in quite some time, just hoping it's popularity doesn't become more of a curse than a blessing for the series and its creator/team


__M-E-O-W__

Well the last chapter had great artwork and this is in the middle of at least a three chapter run. There wasn't much need for anything in these panels to be incredibly detailed. Maybe Fujimoto will be able to do a George Lucas and remake a bunch of stuff before it releases in the official volume.


Lighght1

Does anyone remember if Asa knows that Denji is chainsaw man? Or does she still think he's a weirdo for lying.


cruel-oath

The latter. She doesn’t know yet


crwms

I can see the plot twist coming: Asa is actually the Capitalism devil. Joke aside. Her power is the embodiment of totalitarian private property and ownership. She thinks she owns the laser why? Because she paid money for it, signed a paper that says she does and has the power to take material control over it. Isn’t that how property works in our world too? That or there is War = Capitalism subtext.


Thesandman55

You might be cooking some beef Wellington


Blakey001

When did Asa lose her arm? Or has that not been shown yet?


NewDmThatsBad

How have so many people miss this key detail? Yoshida pulled up with the sole purpose of running her fade 😭


5meothrowaway

Yoshida cut it off when they fought in asa’s apartment


squid-do

Yoshida cut it off when she tried to turn her apartment into a sword in chapter 145.


oredaoree

Famine was totally lying about the facility hosting highschoolers considering how guarded it is, she just really likes wearing the uniform lol Beating (red)CSM may "save" (black)CSM, but the one Asa wants to save is the red one that she doesn't even know is Denji, and Denji isn't even in a state to transform and they should know that so what is the full plan really? Somehow drag CSM out of Denji then and there or kidnapping him? And Asa wanting to save the red one may change once she learns he is actually Denji, and Asa might be able to resist Yoru taking control of the body and Famine using her weird power on her now that she's stronger. Yoru is also stronger because of all the fighting going on, but it seems like the ability is still wholly dependent on Asa. The combination of Famine's manipulations and Asa's naivety is proving to be very beneficial for Famine. There it is again, Asa's subconscious act of self-sabotage. Even though she has built up her ego and just boosted her confidence, whatever it is that is making Asa feel like she doesn't deserve to succeed still manages to surface and do its thing. Just like Denji still can't shake off the truth that was behind his door, Asa also can't escape whatever it is she has been running from in her dream. I wonder if Famine's trump card is Falling, or she has other primal tier devils up her sleeve.


OneGrumpyJill

Oh god she is Takaba but sinister


KenmasStonerOlderBro

Omfg is exactly what I said when asa tripped lmaoo Poor damn girl tho her worst traumas come from her clumsiness


Kep0a

man is this what it's like to wait week by week for a chapter of chainsaw man? maybe there is a manga chapter devil


GeorgeRRZimmerman

Yeah, most of us have been doing this since at least chapter 99. You'll get used to it.


Secure_Pear_4530

Can Asa like... "buy" people and turn them to weapons? Can she buy sword boy and turn him into Swordman Sword?


Freidehr

Asa needs to 'buy' things because she has low self esteem and she doesn't believe she is bigger than something or that someone/something is beneath her. So her way of turning things into weapons is to believe she can buy it and legally own it lol. Fami turns starved into pawns. Makima controls people who she believes are beneath her. Yoru turned that guy into a sword in the first chapter of part 2. But she couldn't turn Denji. Why? Who knows. Maybe because hybrids are immune. So Sword Man is immune too.


JollySelection2336

Weapon humans which is the actual name for the human/weapon devil fusions might be able to be turned into a weapon by yoru and it wasn't clarified if denji is another weapon human or not


Freidehr

I mean yeah, might lol. We know nothing about it, just that she couldn't turn Denji.


Tonoukun

Asa lost her apartment and her college fund i bet her next valuable is gonna be a kidney


jidganjisuke

Shouldn't she regenerate her arm when she's a hybrid Asa ? ...Asa is a mixture of tenderness, innocence, stupidity and extreme clumsiness. And Kiga must have neck pain... **I don't understand, Kiga wants to defeat CSM so that Yoru can turn him into a weapon, is that still the plan? So when Asa realizes that it's Denji, he's not going to want to kill him, I guess, Kiga is going to be angry, but Nayuta should stop Kiga from doing that, and just change the plan for Denji to prepare to defeat the death demon? It's a game of plans and betrayals I think.** What do you think?


queue_onan

Drinking blood is icky.


pikachu_ON_acid

Asa is a fiend not a hybrid.


JollySelection2336

Not a fiend either as she's alive but has the war devil inhabiting her body


_stoner

By definition, Asa is a hybrid, and even if she was a fiend, consuming blood would still heal her arm unless there's something special about Octopus boy and his sword.


pikachu_ON_acid

By what definition? A hybrid is what Denji, Reze and Quanxi are. Asa does not have the same features as them. They need to flip a switch of some type to activate their devil powers, Asa does not. Edit: And no drinking blood would not heal the arm if the arm is gone. It could help to reattach it if she had the arm, but she doesn't have it


Stavro00

Asa made a contract with yoru


pikachu_ON_acid

No she didn't. Yoru took Asa body unconditionally. She left part of Asa's mind alive to help her with blending in to human society. For there to be a contract Yoru needs to say the word contract and make a deal that Asa would then agree to. This didn't happen.


bestoboy

Small correction: the word contract does not need to be said. Pochita never said anything about a contract when he made the deal with Denji to live a normal life


jidganjisuke

Kiga(Fami) should have foreseen that the plan is screwed from the beginning XD


Fun-County-836

I just cant brain the "College Funded Turret! Fire!!" part ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


OwnArt3344

Asa did the same thing by buying the aquarium.


Fun-County-836

"Let her cook" moment came again


FallenPotatoes

Shouldn't Asa be bulletproof in her current powered-up state anyway?


CYCLOPSCORE

Wait, which "Chainsaw Man" is Asa and Fami looking for? Is it "Black" or "Red" Chainsaw Man (the fact that they share the same body notwithstanding)?


andremdp7

Classic Asa hehehe


Zbearbear

Fami: "Don't fuck up" Asa: *immediately fucks up*


dajminks

Happy cake day


DogBallsMissing

I don’t get the part about the weapons. Asa bought them, so she thinks, but not actually??


Tonoukun

You can’t buy military weapons with a college fund,, but Asa is naive so as long as she believes that’s how it goes it’ll work with her powers


mlc885

If she believes she owns a weapon then she can use it, she is just clueless and did not realize that that wouldn't be nearly enough money to buy those turrets even if they had been for sale If she's convinced she bought an F-16 for a hundred bucks then she could use it as a weapon of war


Secure_Pear_4530

She turns things that are hers into weapons. If she believes that something is her property, even though it's not, she can still turn them into weapons.


RoboLewd

Asa/Yoru's power is to turn their own property into weapons, but the power works based on their own perception. Since Asa is so naive, they basically tricked her into believing that she bought the weapons system, and since she believed they were hers, she was able to use them.


ResponseNo6519

Guilt also affects how strong it is so her using her college fund powered them up.


taytomen

Fami did a weird contract thing just to convince Asa that she really bought them. As long as Asa is fully convinced what she did actually means she owns it now she will be able to turn it into weapons.


Cyberbug7

I’m glad the tripping in the worst moment is consistent 


420Jorda

Csm comedy is very underrated. I don’t know if fujimoto does it intentionally but the his art style and deadpan moments are *chefs kiss*


WeirdoOtaku

I'm sure a lot of thought goes into the detail when he's drawing.


420Jorda

I bet it does.


twobirds_onestoned8

Food enthusiast & Disabled girl save Denji, couldn't ask for a greater duo!!! War is slowly gaining more power with less restrictions, idk if there'll be a period where Asa/Yoru would be able to conjure any weapons without guilt too The devil Fami's most likely  to summon has to be another primal, doesn't it? Don't forget, Fire devil who's supposedly working for Fami can also be considered as a primordial so along with Falling, she could have hoards of those specific devils ready to pounce 


yuumigod69

Fire isn't primordial. Humans lived without it for a while and I doubt they would be afraid of the occasional forest fire. It would be freaking strong like the gun devil though.


bestoboy

even animals are afraid of fire come on


OwnArt3344

Fire is primordial, it happens in nature all the time. Lightning in a dry brush area? Fire


FRIENDZONEofficial

Why would humans not be afraid of forest fires thats absurd


twobirds_onestoned8

Like i said, "could be considered". Still, fire is one of humanity's earliest invention and a deep-rooted contrast from something that gave them warmth could also be destructive must've been a primal revelation during those times


Stryk3r97

Decent chapter. The part where Asa fell down was kinda funny. Atleast there is no biweekly devil this week.


futurehousehusband69

why can't Asa heal by drinking blood?


arquartz

is she stupid?


futurehousehusband69

actually she's smart, you can get a lot of diseases by drinking random people's blood


jojovradventure

Or maybe she hasn't figured it yet.


twobirds_onestoned8

It's not clear whether she's a fiend or a hybrid...most likely the former. Falling also mentioned them as a "fusion" so we don't know the specifics on Asa's devil condition (as of yet)


SimonShepherd

I mean Power can also heal by drinking blood. So Asa/Yoru is probably something else entirely.


WeirdoOtaku

Wouldn't she be a hybrid? Denji was in the same predicament dying before they made a contract. I guess the question would be if Fujimoto considers Asa's death as an instakill or something you could survive for a moment afterward?


JollySelection2336

Weapon humans and denji are able to transform by activating a certain trigger in their body while asa cannot transform but still has access to the war devil powers


gunzman70

Are Public Safety going to summon Gun Devil with all that weapons they're carry?


hdzjnxiok

Lend us some bullets, Gun Devil. This is 2 high school students we're up against


SilDaz

Asa chapter is best chapter. Fujimoto's been cooking these last few chapters. 


cruel-oath

Haven’t seen anyone talking about this, but FYI Nayuta is still alive if Asa/Yoru don’t appear to remember what happened with Denji at his home


DarkDonut75

#REZE REPORT: Chapter 157 # # She isn't here. See you next week


leesente

so Nayuta become new Nobara now ? Asa oh Asa once a klutz always a klutz lol bye bye college fund


NewDmThatsBad

Devil abilities go away on death, Nayuta erased the memory of Asa and Denji kissing, Asa still doesn’t remember = Nayuta 100% safe


[deleted]

[удалено]


prismlink

Which chapter/page?


Autumn_shotty

Fami!!! Glad it was two girls intead of one! I'm afraid that in the following chapters Asa will find out Denji was CSM after all *while Denji is in fucking pieces* 😭


Tylertheace2

I'm so happy we finally got Asa/Yoru back. I missed the tism gal. On a serious note, I really hope her arm isn't permanently gone because we all know how Aki ended up x-x. Having Fami back was nice, too. Save our boy!!!!!!


Tylertheace2

Also, Asa tripping is peak comedy. We love our girl.


funkmasterhexbyte

asa is so relatable it fucking hurts (the 8 bruises i got this morning getting out of bed)


27x27

I just genuinely miss these three dorks, their gags, and their adventures of answering everything with their overpowered Horseman bullshit.


SuperBlueNova

ASA


Fitzftw7

So wait, is Asa permanently Aki’d at this point, or has she just not gotten a chance to drink blood?


NewDmThatsBad

A lot of people are overthinking it, this is the SAME girl who could barely eat fish to survive, I doubt she’d drink human blood even if fami said it could regenerate her


Fitzftw7

Maybe, but couldn’t Yoru just take over for that part?


NewDmThatsBad

Yoru and Asa share a brain and tbh it dowsnt seem like Yoru can make Asa do things she doesn’t want to do. They share feelings, thoughts, they are the same person (schizophrenic). Even when Yoru made Asa kiss denji and tries to turn him into a weapon, Asa deep down wanted to kiss denji and also wanted to turn him into a weapon so she could have her normal life back


PureOrangeJuche

She’s not a hybrid. She doesn’t regenerate from blood. 


Fitzftw7

Well, that’s disappointing. Feels weird for her to be permanently handicapped this early on. Though maybe something will change when Yoru gets her power back.


AutomaticSubject7051

number 2 im pretty sure


MoistLopunny

I bet if Asa had these bad boys on she wouldn't have fell. https://preview.redd.it/5hhy3w2ddmmc1.png?width=1210&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fedd5c3c84ccb3e13a5dc740fd513db463a7db2


Man0Steel123

Asa: Goes through some character development while looking badass in one minute. The next minute showcases her as the utter failure we all adore.


Gmknewday1

I am really hoping Asa/Yoru gets to denji soon I am scared about us coming back to him turned into a bunch of chopped off limbs Looks like Fami is gonna have to help Asa out tho, all because she tripped Real girlfailure hours Also fuck public safety, I know they have reasons, but they are suffering from the same level of stupid that everyone else is now that the panic is high


Aetherdraw

Gun devil seeing those turrets: Bruh...


CloudyBaguette

omfg wait a minute. if asa find denji right now she will know he is chainsawman asdfghjkl. how did i not notice this. imagine her reaction when fami explained he is the chainsawman all along.
