This just in, The pigeon is useless, the Katana-Mullet is back, Not-Nobara is at his side, and Fami gets kicked in the head twice by Yoru, more at 11.

I got confused by the side closeup of the Public Safety guy with the eyepatch, because Seigi was in the same room.
This chapter's position of so many character was also confusing: Guilly was next to Nobana in one panel, inexplicably vanishes, and the next we see is the totem left behind. I'm left to assume Katana hit it, but maybe it was something else?
The timing of Katana and Nail's arrival suggests they were stationed on-site. The guy stalling was guarding Denji directly, so they may reach him before more reinforcements come.
The Power of Toons and Anime
And just like that we have assembled a full JRPG party for the epic quest to save/kill Denji.

LMAO Katana Man being so easily duped, while Nail Devil just goes along with it. But they did point out that the Public Safety's been acting cartoonishly evil recently. I wonder who the Public Safety Guy will fetch; Quanxi, maybe?
Poor Chainsaw Man Fanclub guy; he's definitely not having a good time anymore.

This can only end with the entire situation blowing up in as many people's faces as possible.
Or beyond that. This is Chainsaw Man, after all.
One Strip! One Strip!Loving Nail though, freaking funny and the best kind of crazy: the self aware kind of crazy. Also, looks like whoever pointed out the Adam's apple was right, Nail is a guy, albeit outright called a femboy. Interesting he wants to open a business though. Wonder what kind, carpentry? And when the freaking devil is calling you evil, you know damn well Public Safety has gone evil.
Also, Iseumi having a mental breakdown and everyone ignoring him is just amazing.

His grandpa raised him wrong as a joke.

Yoru sure gave Asa control right-quick to speak up. They really trust each other now.
- English: Girly-Boy Devil
- Spanish: Demonio Quejica (Whiner Devil)
- Portuguese: Demónio Cabeça de Foice (Sickle-Head Devil)
- French: "le démontata (the devil-idiot?)
- German: "du Schönling (you pretty-boy/pansy)"
I don't think English or German is likely; "kama" does sound similar to "okama", but I can't find any source treating it as an equivalent term. Portuguese is either Malicious Misnaming, despite "kugi (nail)" and "kama (sickle)" not having visible or verbal similarity, or an insult about Nail's hair. French is just being very broadly insulting. I think Spanish is most likely, as I've got two sources saying it's "kama" can be "excessive noise" or "person who talks too much", and Nail is talkative.

I'm curious to see if eyepatch is actually going to get someone who can wipe the floor with 2 horsemen, a hybrid and a fiend. If it's anyone besides Nayuta I wonder where they were hiding while Makima was rampaging.
Failing that, he's a fraud.

Nope, Quanxi’s here. Also, Asa now knows Denji is Chainsaw Man.
Lizard Metabolism
It actually is just Quanxi, huh. I wonder if she's only there to be a distraction while other forces show up to blindside them. Then again, it is Quanxi.
Well, the doctors sure are casual about the whole thing. And what a time for Asa to find out who Chainsaw Man is.
How do lizards fly?And so they all learn the truth... that Quanxi is fucking awesome. Oh and that Denji is Chainsaw Man, but who cares about that!? Hopefully they have something to convince Quanxi to defect, so that she can put an arrow in this eyepatch mofo.
Vegeta: I'm back bitches!
Katana Man continues to be the biggest loser in the manga. I'm so glad he is back.
I wanna see Asa and Yoru struggle to fight Quanxi because they're too busy arguing with each other about whether or not they should kill Denji. Just the pettiest and silliest argument while they're fighting for their lives.

Also shout out to the main surgeon just staying perfectly calm throughout all of this.

Didn't Famine already mention Denji and Chainsawman were the same? O rather, they could save Danji and kill chainsawman? idk. But yeah we've seen how good Quanxi is, our heroes might be in trouble.

I think the best part is how when the reveal happens, we see Yoru blank faced, then more neutral as the switch to Asa happens, until finally Asa takes over and she's all ''oh shit!
This comic. It brings me joy.

Of course it was Quanxi. I wouldn't be surprised if she's a threat all her own. Samurai Sword has similar physical ability, but way less skill. Fami's got huge power, but is kinda coming off as a Squishy Wizard. Yoru admits it's kinda hard to fight with one arm. The real question is if she'll finally perk up and say more than two words to flirt with Yoru or Fami.
Speaking of which, the story's been having fun keeping Yoru's direct bodycount low. First Asa trips and her enemies are tripped naked by a screwing pigeon. Now the civilians they run into surrender and cooperate immediately without any fuss. Glad Nobana could contribute by apologizing for everyone else. And Seigi found a dick in a box.

My biggest fear right now is that Quanxi will be talked into joining team "Kill Chainsaw Man." These last few chapters of nonstop talking has made me a little antsy, I really need a fight scene right now.
Find the Light in the Dark
The problem Team Kill Chainsaw Man is going to have is Asa, who isn't going to want to kill him. Yoru can try to take control, but it's not always easy, especially when Asa is stressed.
Maybe Asa (and Yoru) are going to be saved by Chainsaw Man. Again. All someone has to do is reassemble him, give him some blood, and pull the cord. This will further deepen Asa's love for him and Yoru's hatred and embarrassment.

Yoru's "I know everything about it!" comment is making me realize she isn't necessarily very old. I'm even wondering if Pochita actually fought a previous incarnation of the War Devil, though that would take some contrivances.
The real problem is, it's probably impossible for Denji to survive being separated from Pochita long-term, and Fami needs Chainsaw Man and Yoru. Her likely plan is to rescue Denji, but then tell Yoru she needs to do more to fight the "right" Chainsaw Man.
Sidenote: Denji's contract with Power to find the new Blood Devil has still not been addressed at all. I'm not assuming it's an Aborted Arc, but get the feeling Denji will just run into the Blood Devil incidentally instead of having to seek them out.
I definitely forgot that they knew about the two "different" Chainsaw Mans. Ugh.
Thanks.
Eyepatch solidifying himself as a misogynist was likely meant to make it extra cathartic when he got killed, but it feels a little overdone by that point. We already know he's a massive piece of shit and a Hate Sink, we don't need it laid on any thicker.
Wow, those scientists just DGAF do they?
So... where does that leave Nail and Samurai Sword? I doubt they can take the latter with them, he'll be gunning for Denji every five seconds if they do. The former though they can likely take with, since he has no prior connection to Denji, and it's probably not a good idea to leave him in PubSec any longer.

Nobana is absolutely on par with his sister in lucky survival. But the only time Kobeni saved anyone (Denji from Samurai Sword) was on purpose. Nobana saved the whole party entirely by accident, alongside Chainsaw Man's reputation. Clearly, his joining the church has paid dividends.
- Fami eating spaghetti with her hands is not something I expected, but it's not surprising.
- Katana Man gets his revenge.
- "I don't feel safe with these people!" "Where else are we supposed to go?"
It says something when the goofy lighthearted chapter's plot twist is "These minor characters didn't die, they just became major criminals for things beyond their control or knowledge, and now one of them is having a breakdown while ineffectually confronting the one at fault."
Haruka had way less a role in the previous arc than I had expected, but we're finally getting something.
Assuming a proper investigation, Haruka probably had a decent case for leniency. So by following Asa, he's throwing out that and stands a good chance of being killing. Nobana and Seigi even moreso.
I mistook those prison uniforms shorts for khakis with belts, which would make the outfit identical to my high school's warm season wear. Back in chapter 145, a Public Safety suit said the minors with illegal contracts will be interned in the "Devil Control Center", which is presumably the "Devil Detention Center" we're currently in. (Don't know if the term was the same in Japanese.)
