The uncertainty presented in chapter #139's ambiguous ending sparks speculation regarding the authenticity of the Denji who aligned with the Church, leaving fans with ample material for theories.

Warning! Spoilers Ahead for Chainsaw Man Chapter #139! The return of a group of adversaries from Part 1 of Chainsaw Man has sparked renewed interest in an ongoing mystery. Mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto has been steadily intensifying the intrigue and delving deeper into past plot points with each new chapter. This latest chapter appears to bring together all the clues and hints, potentially unveiling the answer to a long-standing enigma throughout Part 2.

Chapter #139, translated by Amanda Haley, introduces a new character named Sword Man who attempts to recruit Denji into the Church of Chainsaw Man. Sword Man is one of the many hybrid Devil fighters that Makima employed to battle Denji in the final moments of Part 1. Contrary to popular belief, Sword Man reveals that a significant number of these hybrids are still alive and hold high positions within the Church. This revelation not only prompts questions about the fate of beloved weapon hybrids such as Reze but also suggests the possibility of the survival of the duplicate Chainsaw Man created by Denji during the climactic arc.

The Weapon Hybrids Revive a Major Theory From Chainsaw Man Part 1

This possibility offers a potential explanation for the recurring enigma of the duplicate Chainsaw Man, which has been a prominent element in Part 2. This second incarnation of Chainsaw Man has not only killed significant characters such as Yuko, but also appears to administer a more ruthless form of justice compared to Denji's already violent tendencies. Despite the introduction of various human characters, like the president of the Devil Hunters club, as potential candidates for being the second Chainsaw Man, it is plausible that there is no distinct human counterpart to this duplicate. It is possible that the duplicate either lacks a human form entirely or reverts back to resembling Denji.

The chapter #139's ambiguous ending further strengthens this possibility. Denji's seemingly quick appearance in front of Sword Man, almost as if he teleported, may have actually been the duplicate of Denji. While this could also be interpreted as a joke about Denji's constant desire for intimacy, the unexpected revelation that the weapon hybrids are still alive opens the door to many improbable possibilities, including the validity of this theory. Fujimoto's inclination for taking the story in unforeseen directions makes it nearly impossible to accurately predict the resolutions or true nature of these theories and mysteries within Chainsaw Man. However, this unpredictability is precisely what contributes to the greatness of Chainsaw Man.

Chainsaw Man is Giving Fans a Lot to Speculate On

The upcoming chapter could potentially unveil the true identity of Denji, confirming whether the Denji who joined the Church is the authentic one. Alternatively, it might reveal that the second Chainsaw Man is merely a copy. However, until either scenario is verified, fans of Chainsaw Man have ample room for speculation regarding the weapon hybrids and the true nature of the second Chainsaw Man.
