Chapter 126 of Chainsaw Man sees Denji use drastic measures to prevent himself from facing the trauma he still hasn’t recovered from in Season 1.
Kodoani.com – The following contains the main reveal for the manga Chainsaw Man Part 1 and Chapter 126.
The pain of a friend’s death never leaves Denji, as shown in the latest chapter of Chainsaw Man.
Chapter 126, titled “The Food War,” by Chainsaw Man takes readers into the events directly after the previous one before Denji returns to glory as the protagonist in his battle against the Fallen Devils. . One of the villain’s strengths is her ability to force her victims to relive their worst memories. Despite all he’s been through and the betrayals he’s endured, the memories the Fallen Devil brings to him are the deaths of Aki and Power.
As some fans have explained, Denji doesn’t have time to grieve over their losses, and he’d rather cut his brain off than face his trauma. Many Chainsaw Man enthusiasts have pointed out how Denji came up with “rules” to mutilate his brain, suggesting this may not be the first Devil to attempt to use psychological attacks on him. .
#chainsawman126 The fact that Denji has to physically SLICE HIS BRAIN APART just to handle the trauma of Aki and Power’s deaths is actually fucked up on so many levels.
Not only has he come nowhere NEAR close to properly grieving, but it’s so bad that he would rather mutilate + pic.twitter.com/IHMt5NnQgk

Denji’s day is getting worse and worse
Whether mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto condescends to grant both of his characters a little pardon remains to be seen. The author never shies away from placing his characters, and readers, through the agony of Part 1 and Part 2 are no exception. Since the second part of Chainsaw Man only begins with the arrival of the Hungry and Fallen Demons, it looks like there’s still a world of pain waiting for Denji.
With over 23 million copies in circulation, Chainsaw Man is one of the best-selling manga series of all time. The story has collected multiple awards including the 2021 Shogakukan Manga Awards and Best Manga at the Harvey Awards for two consecutive years. Chainsaw Man follows an impoverished teenager named Denji, who has the ability to transform into a Devil known as the Chainsaw Man. While Denji’s quality of life improved dramatically after he joined the Public Safety Demon Hunter, he’s also opened his heart to being hurt by both villains and those he cares about.
Chainsaw Man updated weekly, and sometimes biweekly, on Viz Media and Manga Plus. The next chapter will release on April 18.
