Chapter 147 recap

In Chainsaw Man chapter 147, Barem commended Nayuta for accurately deducing Famine Devil Fami's scheme and exposing her true identity as the former Makima. He then urged Denji not to back down and to unleash his wild side, emphasizing how crucial it was for both him and Fami. Addressing the Fire Devil contractees who had succumbed to their zombie-like state, Barem declared that Nayuta was a witch and instructed them to eliminate her.
As the zombies neared Nayuta, Quanxi suddenly materialized and effortlessly defeated them all. Fumiko Mifune immediately recognized her, clutching Denji, Nayuta, and Quanxi tightly.
Without hesitation, Quanxi bravely leaped off the building's edge, consuming Mifune's blood to guarantee her swift healing upon impact with the ground. She fearlessly battled additional zombies, impressing Barem with her remarkable abilities.
Denji witnessed the unfolding chaos before his eyes, where scores of civilians and Fire Devil zombies lay lifeless. Among them, Devil Hunters were cremating the zombie bodies, revealing their seemingly eternal existence fueled by the presence of blood within their corpses.
The chapter concluded with a civilian recognizing Denji as a Church member, thus placing a target on his back in the eyes of the Devil Hunters.
What to expect (speculative)
In Chainsaw Man chapter 148, Denji and his group will face a swarm of Devil Hunters. Denji is expected to transform into Chainsaw Man once again to assist Quanxi in the battle, despite going against Hirofumi Yoshida's instructions. The intense circumstances will likely convince Mifune and Quanxi to persuade Yoshida to overlook this disobedience later on.
Once transformed, Denji, in chapter 148, will undoubtedly engage in combat against the attacking zombies, who may even target him in his powered state. Quanxi may also lend a hand in the fight or choose to confront the Devil Hunters and explain their predicament while Denji deals with the zombies.

Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of Chainsaw Man, I am eagerly anticipating the release of chapter 148. The previous chapter left us with a thrilling cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm especially excited to see Denji finally transform into the titular hero. I've been waiting for this moment since the beginning of the series, and I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
I'm also curious to see how the relationship between Denji and Quanxi develops. They've had a complicated relationship so far, but I think they could make a great team. I'm hoping that they'll be able to work together to defeat the Devil Hunters and save the day. Overall, I'm very excited for Chainsaw Man chapter 148. I think it's going to be a great chapter, and I can't wait to read it.
