There is speculation that Asa Mitaka/Yoru may be the mysterious figure at the end of Chainsaw Man chapter 156, based on a hint dropped by one of the surgeons regarding the Tokyo Devil Detention Center.
The surgeon mentioned that no devil has ever escaped from the Tokyo Devil Detention Center since its establishment, attributing this to the constant presence of armed personnel and the facility's readiness for any unforeseen circumstances.

The surgeon pointed out that the recent Chainsaw Man incident was no exception to the facility's impressive security measures. He mentioned that it would require a significant effort to breach the facility's defenses. As he made this observation, the manga depicted a character outside the facility, suggesting a potential rescue mission for Denji.
In many manga scenes, the dialogue often provides clues to the identity of mysterious characters. When the manga revealed the mysterious character's legs, the accompanying dialogue echoed the surgeon's earlier statement about the facility's security being difficult to compromise.

There is a strong indication in the manga that the arrival of the War Devil Yoru at the detention center was being hinted at. It can be inferred that the character appearing at the end of Chainsaw Man chapter 156 was either the War Devil Yoru herself or her host, Asa Mitaka.
Asa Mitaka's last appearance in the manga was in chapter 148, where she used her War Devil powers to fend off Yoshida. Following this, War Devil Yoru took over her, leading to a significant power increase for both of them. Yoru then noticed the chaos surrounding her, indicating that her powers had strengthened due to the resurgence of fear of war among the people. This realization left Yoru in a state of euphoria.

The manga series has not yet confirmed the identity of the mysterious character. Some fans speculate that the character could be Reze, as they share a similar style in footwear. Additionally, among the remaining characters, Reze is the only one with the ability to create a war-like scenario using her bomb devil powers.
Fans will need to wait for the release of Chainsaw Man chapter 157 to finally receive confirmation regarding the mysterious character's identity.
Editor's P/S:
The latest chapter of Chainsaw Man has left readers on the edge of their seats with a cliffhanger ending. The capture of Denji and his subsequent imprisonment have created a sense of urgency and dread, and the mysterious figure appearing at the end of the chapter has only added to the intrigue. While the identity of this figure remains a mystery, there are several theories circulating among fans, each with its own compelling evidence.
The article provided a thorough analysis of the chapter's events and offered a convincing argument for the identity of the mysterious figure being Asa Mitaka/Yoru. The surgeon's mention of the facility's impenetrable security and the subsequent appearance of the figure outside the detention center suggest that whoever it is must be extremely powerful. Asa Mitaka's recent display of strength and her connection to the War Devil make her a strong candidate for the role, and the hint dropped by the dialogue only further supports this theory. However, the possibility of Reze's involvement cannot be ruled out, as her bomb devil powers could potentially create a war-like situation. Ultimately, the true identity of the mysterious figure will have to wait until the release of the next chapter, but the speculation and anticipation surrounding it are sure to keep fans engaged in the meantime.
