Unleashed: Denji's Beastly Transformation Resurfaces in Chapter 152

Chainsaw Man was riding high until Denji is transformed into a monster in chapter 152. Throughout the Academy saga, the focus has shifted from Denji to the newcomer Asa. Denji is displeased with his decreased role and attempts to live a normal high school life.

Denji loses it in new Chainsaw Man chapter 152

Before the chaos erupted at the Chainsaw Man Church, Denji had come to appreciate the freedom from being the Chainsaw Man. Yet, without this identity, he grappled with a sense of loss and confusion. Caring for Nayuta and their pets offered him purpose, but his drastic decisions now put everything at risk, including his relationship with Nayuta, leaving a heart-wrenching aftermath.

It's not exciting, but it's fulfilling - hopefully, it's enough for Denji.

As the Control Devil, Nayuta has never seen Denji unleash like this up close, and he's been warned not to push his limits further. Denji enjoys being Chainsaw Man because nobody truly wanted Denji until Nayuta appeared, but the public adores Chainsaw Man and appreciates that he saves them from Devil attacks, which is much more thrilling for Denji than his mundane high school life.

The climax of the single-paged panel could confirm our worst fears for Denji as he absorbs a blow from Miri Sugo, the Spear Devil Hybrid, while also delivering some damage of his own. Denji seems willing to sacrifice everything in order to become the Chainsaw Man once more, finding happiness in the idea that giving up his ordinary yet dull life may be worth it if he can once again bask in the limelight. Slaying devils and reveling in the applause. It's a straightforward desire, but it's what Denji yearns for.

Denji and Nayuta are facing a devastating situation as their house burns down, potentially with their beloved pets, including Power’s cat, Meowy, inside. Hopefully, Denji will soon be able to break free from the tempting pull of being Chainsaw Man.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan of Chainsaw Man, I am both excited and concerned about Denji's recent transformation. On the one hand, it's thrilling to see him embrace his true power and unleash his inner beast. The action and intensity that have been lacking in recent chapters are back in full force, and it's exhilarating to witness Denji's raw strength and determination. The single-paged panel where he absorbs a blow from the Spear Devil Hybrid while delivering his own damage is particularly epic and showcases the sheer force of his transformation.

On the other hand, I can't help but worry about the consequences of Denji's actions. His desire to be the Chainsaw Man again is understandable, especially considering the thrill and adoration he receives from the public. However, his drastic decisions are putting everything at risk, including his relationship with Nayuta and the safety of his loved ones. The burning house and the potential loss of their beloved pets add an emotional depth to the situation, making it all the more heartbreaking. I hope that Denji will find a way to balance his desire for excitement with the responsibilities and consequences that come with being the Chainsaw Man.
