Chapter 148 recap

In Chainsaw Man chapter 148, the story picks up right where the previous issue left off. Denji finds himself facing accusations of being a Fakesaw Man. The civilians around him express doubts about his true identity, while Fumiko Mifune, a Public Safety agent, defends his innocence based on her position.
Unfortunately, their defense falls apart when it becomes clear that other agents have also turned into Fakesaw Men. The tension escalates when another agent insists on examining Denji's chest and pulls out a gun when Denji and the others refuse.
Quanxi instructed the others to flee while she bravely remained behind, shielding them from the incoming gunfire. The story then shifted to Asa Mitaka's apartment, where Hirofumi Yoshida hesitated to kill Asa, even though he had the chance. He attempted to trap her with the Octopus Devil, but she defied expectations by creating the Room 606 Sword using her powers, without even touching the apartment.
Suddenly, Yoru took control of their body and effortlessly sliced through the Octopus Devil, marveling at their newfound strength. She then charged towards Yoshida, but underestimated her own powers and crashed into a wall behind him instead. Realizing his escape, Yoru descended to the streets below.
The issue ended with Yoru marveling at the destruction around her, proclaiming that the world has remembered her and war after so long.
What to expect (speculative)
With Yoru's clear determination to chase after Yoshida and embrace her newfound abilities, the upcoming installment of Chainsaw Man, chapter 149, promises to delve deeper into Yoru and Asa's growth and enhanced powers. Excitingly, fans may witness an encounter between Yoru and Denji's group, leading to a gripping clash between Yoru and Nayuta, both acknowledged as two of the Four Horsemen Devils.
Chapter 149 of Chainsaw Man is expected to center around Asa and Yoru, highlighting the significant growth of their powers following recent events. The chapter might show them reaching Yoshida during their fight, effectively showcasing their progress.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Chainsaw Man chapter 149. 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 how Denji and his friends will deal with the accusations that he is a Fakesaw Man.
I'm also curious to see how Yoru's newfound powers will affect the story. She seems to be incredibly strong, and I'm not sure if Denji and his friends will be able to stop her. Overall, I'm expecting Chainsaw Man chapter 149 to be another great addition to the series. I can't wait to read it!
