Denji woke up in Chainsaw Man chapter 156, eager to meet Nayuta but was disappointed when Yoshida couldn't locate her. The Public Safety officer also shattered Denji's hopes for a normal life due to his devil hybrid actions.
Yoshida then sedated Denji and left the room, revealing that Public Safety was planning to dismember him. Surprisingly, Denji's fan Fumiko Mifune seemed more interested in adding his hair or nails to her collection than worrying about his safety.

This enraged fans as they wished for Fumiko Mifune to receive the most horrible fate in the series. Many fans were certain that Fumiko was a bad person from the very onset. However, after witnessing her interactions with Denji, they began to change their perspective on her, thinking that Fumiko could end up being a good supporting character.
However, fans were disappointed when the manga unveiled Fumiko's prioritization of her role as a public servant over Denji's welfare. While it is expected for her to oppose Denji due to her position, fans were unsettled by her desire to inflict more suffering on him merely for her own amusement as a collector.

Many fans expressed their desire for Fumiko Mifune to meet a gruesome demise, hoping she would be the first victim of the forthcoming prophecy and meet her end at the hands of Death Devil.
Some fans were hoping for a humorous death for the character, wishing for her demise to be comically insignificant in order to tarnish her reputation.
On the other hand, there were fans who desired manga creator Tatsuki Fujimoto to depict her death in a double panel. However, they were concerned that he might choose to keep the character alive until the conclusion of the story.

Some fans even speculated about Power making a comeback in the series to take down Fumiko. Given Power's close relationship with Denji, it seemed plausible for her to be the one responsible for Fumiko's demise. However, fans also expressed concern that Fumiko could potentially become the vessel for the Blood Devil's return from hell.
If fans recall, the conclusion of Chainsaw Man chapter 156 featured a surgeon mentioning the need for a war-like scenario at the Tokyo Devil Detention Center to compromise the facility's security. This foreshadowed the possibility of Asa Mitaka, the host of War Devil, coming to rescue Denji. Should this scenario unfold, fans hoped for Yoru to either eliminate Fumiko or transform her into a weapon.
