Chainsaw Man Chapter 220, “Bonds and Michigan” delivered an absolutely mind bending chapter, leaving readers reeling from Yoru’s escalating power and a shocking cliffhanger. From finger bullets to the obliteration of an entire U.S. state, the battle between Pochita and the War Devil reached new terrifying heights.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 220 Recap: The War Devil’s “Power of Friendship”
The chapter opened with Yoru unleashing a barrage of “finger bullets” at Pochita, who evaded them before kicking her through a window, causing her insides to spill. Undeterred, Yoru summoned the Moray Eel Devil, only for Pochita to instantly slice it to pieces, much to Yoru’s surprising (and somewhat comical) fondness for the creature. The scene then shifted to an incredible visual, Yoru and Pochita battling on the “door roof of Hell” with the real world inverted in the background.
It was here that Yoru began a bizarre monologue, claiming to have learned the “importance of bonds” and to value the “sublimity of devils” and the “stupidity of humanity” since coming to Earth. She then summoned an army of devils, declaring that “War is stronger when fighting with others” and that Pochita, lacking such bonds, was weaker. However, Pochita effortlessly tore through Yoru’s allies. In a desperate move, Yoru extended her hand and called forth the “Michigan Sword.”
The chapter concluded with a chilling panel showing the entire state of Michigan collapsing at 11:23 a.m., with Fumiko Mifune documenting the event. This revelation confirmed that Yoru had transformed an entire U.S. state into a weapon, showcasing a terrifying new level of her power and leaving readers to ponder the fate of millions who now form a grotesque blade.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 221 Predictions & Theories: The Scale of Destruction
Chainsaw Man Chapter 221 predictions are heavily focused on the immediate aftermath of the Michigan Sword’s creation and its impact on the fight.
- The Michigan Sword Unleashed: Chapter 221 will undoubtedly feature Yoru wielding the Michigan Sword. Given that an entire state was sacrificed, this weapon will be unimaginably powerful. We could see it used to deliver a devastating blow against Pochita, potentially putting the Chainsaw Devil in a perilous situation he hasn’t faced before.
- The Fate of Michigan’s Citizens: With Death having been erased (or partially erased) by Pochita, the citizens of Michigan might not die conventionally. Theories abound that they could be trapped in an endless agony within the sword or perhaps simply displaced to an unknown realm. The chapter might clarify this terrifying consequence, adding another layer to the War Devil’s cruelty.
- Fumiko Mifune’s Role: Fumiko documenting the fight suggests Public Safety’s continued (and perhaps sinister) involvement. Her perspective might offer insights into the battle’s global impact or hint at a larger plan concerning the Primal Devils and the balance of power. Could she be tracking Yoru’s power ups for later exploitation?
- Pochita’s Counter Strategy: Pochita’s previous victories often involved unconventional tactics and overwhelming speed. Against a weapon of this magnitude, he will need to adapt. Could Denji’s consciousness somehow influence Pochita, reminding him of true bonds and giving him the emotional drive to overcome Yoru’s twisted “friendship”?
The destruction of Michigan raises the stakes dramatically. How many more states will fall before this battle concludes? And can Pochita truly overcome Yoru’s ever growing, terrifying power?
