Summary
Denji is faced with a heartbreaking situation where Nayuta's head is on a plate of sushi, reminiscent of eating Makima. Barem's plan may involve Denji eating Nayuta, leading to the Control Devil returning in a new host. Nayuta's death could explain Yoru regaining her memories, raising the possibility that she is indeed dead.
Chainsaw ManDenji has suffered more than ever with the latest developments in the manga. Denji has lost his beloved pets, Power's cat Meowy and Makima's dogs, and had a contentious encounter with Yoru that left him conflicted. But that doesn't compare to the most recent event prompted by the manga, teasing a terrible fate for Nayutaand Denji may experience the most terrifying moment of Part 1 again.
In CSM chapter #170, “How to Eat Sushi,” Barem, the second-in-command of the Chainsaw Man Church who was present during the Control Devil Arc as the Flamethrower Devil, talks about his plan to Denji. Barem explains to Denji why Chainsaw Man was able to wipe out the Devils and what he needs to do to see his “sister” Nayuta again.
However, in a very shocking revelation, Nayuta's head appeared on the sushi conveyor belt, leaving fans and reminiscent of the most heartbreaking scene in Part 1 of Chainsaw Man, the scene where Denji swallows Makima.
Almost impossible Fed Denji Nayuta
Denji can consume Nayuta like he did to Makima in Chainsaw Man Part 1
In chapter #170, Barem insists that Denji sit down and eat sushi, handing him a few plates. But Denji stuffs the sushi into his mouth very quickly, so Barem tells him to enjoy the food slowly and asks the chef to bring out the main course, which turns out to be Nayuta's severed head protrudes from the conveyor belt like a plate of sushi..
The way Nayuta's head is presented, coupled with Barem's insistence on Denji eating and the many shots emphasizing food, could mean that The sushi he ate wasn't fish but other parts of Nayuta's body.. This is reinforced by the fact that when Barem gives Denji the tuna, the dialogue is in bold, just like when he explains the reason behind Chainsaw Man's powers. While this revelation is certainly a huge blow to Denji, leaving him devastated, it also Remember chapter #96 of Chainsaw Man, when Denji ate Makima Japanese style.
Denji eats Makima to prevent her from recovering her body and also as a way to keep her a part of him forever. The two scenes actually contrast each other, with Denji deliberately eating Makima, preparing the food himself, slowly savoring it, and even enjoying some of it, while Denji devours the sushi quickly and reluctantly, without tasting it. Denji eating Nayuta would mean that the Control Devil would appear somewhere in the new hostRepeat Makima's fate and once again take everything from Denji, completing Barem's plan.
Nayuta's death explains the return of Yoru's memories
Chapter 167 of Chainsaw Man: Passionate Kiss.
In the most controversial chapter of Chainsaw Man, Yoru suddenly remembers that she kissed Denji. Since Nayuta used her demonic control powers to make Yoru and Asa forget about their date with Denji, her death may have been the reason why War Devil regained her memories. This means that The possibility that Nayuta's head is a hoax and not her actual corpse is very low.
However, since the limits of Control Devil's power are still unknown, the implications of Nayuta's death will be revealed in the upcoming chapters. However, Nayuta's opening scene definitely beats Makima's for being the most terrifying scene in the mangado Chainsaw ManFans won't be able to see sushi on a conveyor belt the same way again.
