Explosive Twists Unveiled: Quanxi's Shocking Return Rattles Chainsaw Man Church - Chapter 143

Chainsaw Man chapter 143 was released on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, marking the thrilling continuation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's popular series. In this chapter, the focus was on the Chainsaw Man Church's plot to carry out an act of terror at a local theme park, coincidentally attended by Denji, Fumiko Mifune, and Nayuta.

Expectations among fans were high for a major fight scene in Chainsaw Man chapter 143, anticipating Denji's transformation into his iconic form after several chapters. However, fans were taken aback when Quanxi, a beloved character and the First Devil Hunter, unexpectedly thwarted the Weapon Hybrids' plan.

Chainsaw Man chapter 143 shocks readers with a completely unexpected turn of events

Chainsaw Man chapter 143 started with the Spear Hybrid presenting their directives to Miri Sugo and the Whip Hybrid. Their objective is to maximize the volume of human screams by targeting women and children, who tend to have higher-pitched voices, resulting in more impactful screams. Additionally, they propose aiming for limbs to create an immediate visual representation of loss.

Miri Sugo appears apprehensive, but the Whip Hybrid takes offense at being referred to as a child despite her age of 82. Sugo insults her by calling her an old hag, but she refutes this by asserting her eternal youth, resilience, and immortality. She considers herself a superior human chosen by god. In response, the Spear Hybrid suggests that their impending killing spree is a divine message.

In Chainsaw Man chapter 143, Chainsaw Man acknowledges Sugo as a devoted believer and informs everyone that their mission will commence shortly. Sugo, visibly uneasy, glances at the clock and becomes even more conflicted when a young child suddenly falls in front of him. He interprets this as a message from god and views himself as temporarily lending his body as a weapon rather than being used once more.

In preparation to transform into their hybrid forms, the trio is suddenly interrupted as an unknown individual swiftly cuts off multiple limbs. Among them, only Sugo manages to undergo transformation and bravely confronts the assailant, but is swiftly overpowered. To their surprise, it is revealed that the attacker is none other than Quanxi, the esteemed First Devil Hunter. Having defeated the Hybrids, Quanxi turns her attention to the child who had fallen in front of Sugo and intimidatingly utters "rawr," causing him to flee in terror.

In Chainsaw Man chapter 143, Quanxi contacts external forces to inform them that their targets have been subdued. She urges them to send Tokyo Special Division 7 in 20 minutes, soon after media coverage. The story then transitions to a news broadcast, where the anchor reports that several gunmen, followers of the Chainsaw Man Church, have opened fire inside a department store. The anchor mentions that the death toll remains uncertain, but the police and National Devil Extermination Public Safety Commission have announced their plans for swift action. The narrative then shifts to the physical location of the Chainsaw Man Church building.

Chainsaw Man chapter 143 has an older man observing the broadcast with concern as he mentions the upcoming search of the building. He further suggests that if the weapons stored in the basement are discovered, those involved will face charges of treason. Intrigued by his statement, Nobana Higashiyama queries about the weapons he is referring to, prompting Haruka Iseumi to express her surprise at never being informed about them.

The older gentleman instructs Haruka to assemble all the combat-trained followers outside the prayer room, while Haruka insists on being informed about the situation. However, the man states that he is unaware and has no knowledge of it, emphasizing that Haruka is equally unaware as the chapter concludes.

Chapter 143 of Chainsaw Man took readers by surprise with its unexpected events. However, these twists were met with excitement rather than disappointment. The reappearance of Quanxi alone justifies the delay in Denji and his companions' battle against Barem and the Weapon Hybrids. This plot development also hints at Fumiko's prior knowledge of the situation, explaining her nonchalant demeanor in the face of Barem's presence.

The issue effectively highlights Sugo's growing awareness of being manipulated and compelled to engage in unwanted actions once more. Although it may be too late for him to sever ties with the Chainsaw Man Church after Quanxi's involvement, his eventual alliance with Denji would be a positive development.
