The world of Chainsaw Man has been brutally re contextualized. In a chapter that perfectly embodied the series’s chaotic blend of horror and humor, Denji found himself caught between two of the most terrifying forces in existence: the War Devil and the newly revealed Death Devil. As the true endgame of the series begins to take shape, Chainsaw Man Chapter 212 will explore the shaky foundation of a brand new alliance, one forged on a dark prophecy and a single pair of panties.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 211 Recap: “War, Panties, Chainsaw”
Chainsaw Man Chapter 211 began with a bewildered Denji waking up in a classroom, having been rescued by a girl who calls herself “Li’l D”. He soon discovers that Li’l D is actually the Death Devil and with the assistance of her ally the Famine Devil (Fami), she brought him here to warn him. Denji, still skeptical questioned the Death Devil’s claims until she revealed her true purpose.
The Death Devil explained that the War Devil “Yoru” has grown more powerful than anyone anticipated due to the re emergence of nuclear weapons. Yoru’s ultimate plan is to turn Denji into a weapon to erase the concept of death, thereby creating a world of “never ending World War II.” This would trap undying humans in an eternal cycle of hatred and suffering, a nightmare scenario that the Death Devil claims she tried to prevent, only to make the future worse.
Denji remained unconvinced by the story until Miri Sugo (the Longsword hybrid) suggested a more direct form of proof. As the Death Devil showed the gaping hole in her stomach, Denji became fixated on her panties and for this reason alone, he agreed to trust her. The chapter ends with this bizarre, yet very Denji like alliance cemented.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 212 Predictions & Theories
Chainsaw Man Chapter 212 will likely focus on the immediate aftermath of Denji’s decision. Now aligned with the Death Devil, the central question is what their first move will be. Will they go on the offensive to confront Yoru or will they use this moment to plan a counter strategy against her growing power and devil army? We may get a glimpse of Yoru’s terrifying new strength as she amasses her forces, solidifying her position as the new final boss.
The chapter is also expected to further flesh out the details of the Death Devil’s plan. What kind of power does she possess that she believes she can stop Yoru? And what role will her ally, the Famine Devil play in this new alliance? The re introduction of Miri Sugo suggests that the weapon hybrids may be involved in the coming conflict which could be a crucial factor in the battle.
This alliance is a classic Chainsaw Man paradox: a devil who originally wanted to wipe out humanity is now working with Denji to save it from a fate that she inadvertently created. The central conflict of the series has now become a race to stop a never ending war from being unleashed on an immortal world.
In classic Chainsaw Man fashion, despite the world ending stakes, Denji’s simple mind will likely be completely preoccupied by the sight of the Death Devil’s panties.
