NO MORE DEATH! Is Chainsaw Man Part 2 Ending? Chainsaw Man Chapter 219 Spoilers!

In the previous Chainsaw Man chapter, to save Asa, Pochita cuts down Death and her allies.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 219 is titled “The Bereft”

This chapter has 15 pages.

The chapter begins with Yoru using the Gun Devil arm to punch a hole through Pochita.

We then quickly enter within the mindscape where Asa is disappointed that Denji did not just finish Yoru and her off.

Denji clarifies that he has no control over Pochita.

Asa worries now that she can no longer save Denji or stop Yoru.

However, there is hope, a surprising amount of it.

Denji’s World

Denji passes a message Pochita left to him.

Both of them have one dream: to live a normal life.

The two choices given by the world, by the Fire Devil, between Yoru’s world and L’il D’s world, would not let them live their lives normally.

So the solution is clearly to not choose any of the two.

Instead of Yoru’s deathless world of War or Death’s world without war, it will be Denji’s world, a world built by people themselves.

He recalled the Fire Devil’s words in Chapter 205: “Who?” and that he would need to make his decision right this time.

Not a choice between two people, like a cat or a man.

No, he will choose neither but also a world where his dignity, Asa’s dignity is maintained.

No more binaries, but a personal choice.

Befitting a core thrust in many of these dark shonen and darker series like Berserk and Attack on Titan, it is not about choosing what is given by the world but, following Friedrich Nietzsche’s call to “create our own values”.

This also ties to Pochita’s reason for not eating every dangerous Devil after his battle with the Four Horsemen.

On top of having been weakened by Yoru’s Weapon Devils and the other Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Pochita, in his weakened state, found a new dream, to live a normal life, no longer waiting on the beck and call of the victims of Devils.

He no longer wanted to be the Hero of Hell and Denji wishes to end his life as Chainsaw Man, or at least find a way to live with it while also focusing on his normal life.

And we see child Denji turn to his current self.

Asa revealed her mature self in this realm when she recalled how she let her father die while Denji changed back once he made a choice beyond the two given options.

Asa wishes to live but she sees no other way to return to a normal life since she is half devil essentially but Denji says so is he and that he will “murderize” her Devil if it gets in the way of their dream.

It seems that Denji has taken on the role of comforter that Asa did when Denji was filled with guilt becsuse of the Falling Devil.

This is a peak for Denji’s maturity.

Denji has been led by the plot for much of the series, even here in Part 2 after choosing to deny Makima’s world of control and no bad movies.

Yoru manipulated Denji, the Chainsaw Man Church by Barem ruined his new family, and L’il D did everything to weaponize Denji by making both him and Yoru more feared and empowered by a world overrun by the chaos of the Chainsaw Man church and their conflicts.

But now Denji, who experienced guilt over being a stupid horny loser who allows innocents to die, has decided to be more conscious in his choices and he commits to saving asa’s life, where the two of them, who had killed their parents, can move on from their sins and live normally.

Wait, Death Can Still Die?

In the real world, Yoru reattaches Death’s head, the latter thanking Yoru for saving her.

It is strange that L’il D is worried about dying since taking out her own organs did not do the trick.

She must have avoided drinking blood to regenerate those organs, choosing only to eat food that goes nowhere (unless you take the omakes seriously).

Perhaps Death can be killed normally but will come back and that each time she is killed off, other beings die.

Maybe like how the real Fami drains the life out of people to gain power and survive, L’il D feeds off the deaths of other humans to be revived, which is why she cannot die even if she is also worried about losing her head.

Yoru clarifies that she did not do this for her older sister but to prevent the activation of the Death Devil’s powers that would cause everyone to die.

Yoru says that by saving her, L’il Death belongs to her.

But in another way, Death is in control of War as war cannot last long in a world of only death and devils.

Death is grateful she is alive because she still wants to continue the summer school festival, showing that her goal has always been to live peacefully as a normal person, a desire incompatible with her nature and the need to end herself by being eaten by the Chainsaw Devil.

Yoru points out that living with humans made her weak as enjoying life delayed the apocalypse and emphaiszes Yoru’s lack of humanity and compassion by insisting that Devils, especially the Horsemen who cannot see faces of humans and devils, cannot coexist with humans.

Yoru maintains her pride as a Horseman, a part of a rare group of Devils that are tied together as family and can form families, condemning Death for being an embarassment to the family.

This is in spite of the mutual animosity between Makima, Yoru, Death and Fami.

Makima believes the world is better off without the other Three Horsemen: War, Death, and Famine, but not herself, Control.

Death wants to stop War, who is in the way of a normal life without using her powers, but, contradictorily, also needs Denji to end her, which would stop her from having a normal life as a student.

Fami is merely a coward who is a pawn of Death but now she has nowhere else to go.

Yoru has her own children in the form of the Gun and Tank Devils, who are now her arms, and their final fates represent her mentality when it comes to family: that family exists to be used for one another, more specifically the dominant one in the Family.

Denji’s Smartest Move?

Before Yoru can turn her sister into Death Sword, Pochita cuts both of Yoru’s arms and eats Death’s head.

Yoru calls for a time out but Pochita gulps Death down, ending the Age of Terror for good, it seems.

We have witnessed the biggest feat in Chainsaw Man history: Pochita actually erasing a Primal Fear but not just any Devil.

Death is the King of Terror, the strongest Devil of all that preexists every fear.

And yet in one chomp, her millions of years of immortal reign come to an end, just like she wanted.

Again, one wonders how Pochita gained this ability while normal Devils can eat each other yet go through reincarnation in Hell.

Perhaps it is tied to the Chainsaw’s historical use of cutting off umbilical cords. Perhaps Pochita fought enough devils to awaken this ability from consuming so many in Hell.

Anyway, the plan here is brilliant.

Pochita intends to kill the War Devil without killing Asa.

If Pochita erases Asa by eating her, the human self will be fully restored and even revived while ending all war.

Killing Death reverses Asa’s previous fate, so even if Asa gets chomped down in the attempt to fully kill Yoru, she will still be alive.

However, if you recall the end of Part 1, Pochita did not erase Makima the Control Devil.

Instead, Denji consumed her remains as a human.

What if Pochita will do the same, killing Yoru?

That would probably not work in the Deathless World, so eating Yoru is the fully sure way to do it.

Yoru will be erased alongside all of War and Asa will live a normal human life.

The chapter ends with Yoru mourning for the loss of her older sister, now seeking revenge on Pochita.

As a side note, in the Japanese, the character for death (shi/死) is now reverted to its katakana form (シ), which is Fujimoto’s way of showing the erasure of Death.

Remember that Makima and the other Horsemen are the only ones who can remember erased Devils’ names.

Yoru has lost 2 siblings and kne of them twice over because of Denji’s existence, so this feels less like a holy war to end death and more of a personal vendetta.

Is Death’s Erasure too anticlimatic?

Considering that Death is one of the two main villains of Part 2, it is weid how easily and quickly she was disposed by the plot.

This ties to the chapter title, “The Bereft”, as in the Mourner, referring to Yoru’s grief over losing her sister.

By being mourned after, Death completes her arc.

Death was a being who did not desire her uncontrollable power, only wanting a normal life.

Every wicked manipulation and ruination of Denji and Asa’s lives was to end her eternal misery.

But now, we have one person, one solitary soul who has mourned the loss of her sister.

Furthermore, Death is the Gun Devil of Part 2, a plot device to move the story forward.

The Death Devil twist in Chapter 198: “It’s Fami!” is, ironically, a more climactic version of Makima’s more subtle  revelation at the start of the Gun Devil Arc.

In Part 1, the Gun Devil is long defeated but in pieces after shooting throughout the world in 1984, that the USA, Soviet Union, China, Japan and others have portions of he gun Devil preserved and secreyly fueled underworld gun trade disguised as Gun Devil contracrs to empower their pieces of the Gun devil in a never-ending arms race due to the Cold War setting of the series.

In Part 2, there is the prophecy by Nostradamus that talks about Death’s descent by July of 1999.

Except the Death Devil was always there in the form of “Fami”, a student alongside Asa, the vessel of the War Devil, and that she was using other Devils, including a fellow Primal Fear, Falling, as obedient pawns to make Pochita and Yoru stronger.

Now Death has fulfilled her role in the story as the drive behind the plot.

What is left is for the protagonists, Asa and Denji, to remove the fate of this deathless world.

Is Chainsaw Man a Fire Punch prequel?

Some fans have commented that now that Pochita created the Deathless World and both the Fire and Nuclear Weapons Devils are on the loose, they will be heading into the Fire Punch post-apocalyptic world.

This idea has one issue: no death.

In Fire Punch, people still die and the planet itself is created from a nuclear apocalypse that results in a nuclear winter and is headed towards its own end.

Although most people make the claim of a Fire Punch prequel because of all the ingredients.

In Fire Punch, the protagonist Agni is not a Fire Blessed but rather he is a Regeneration Blessed whose body cannot die even after receiving the Fire Blessing of Doma, whose flames will never stop burning.

In other words, the Chainsaw Man world right now will be filled with flaming immortals.

If Chainsaw Man is the prequel, it is possible that Death will be vomitted at the end of Part 2.

Or consider the setup in Chapter 209 that the Nuclear Weapons Devil was not vomitted but rather revived by unknowing humans who rediscovered radiation-rich minerals and built nuclear weapons.

What if, in the deathless world, humans feel the fear of death still and it was not considered in Yoru’s calculations, so Death will return as a differetnt person the same way Makima retuened as Nayuta and the now-deceased nayuta will come back as someone else entirely.

Either way, what is clear is that it seems we are headed into a finale.

In Chainsaw Man part 1, Pochita emerges twice, with the second beinf a deception on Denji’s part for the final battle against makima.

In Part 2, Pochita emerged after Denji was captured by Public Safery and later when Yoshida was killed by Barem, who Pochita ate.

Is this fight against Yoru the final battle?

Volume 23 still needs 3 more chapters, whi h would likely wrap up the current arc.

Considering how fast things are wrapping up, the end could be near.

And no Blood Devil return.

There is no announcement of a super climax, meaning we are not yet into the last five chapters but potentially the next volume, Volume 24, will be the last.

Who will be featured in this volume?

What vould await Denji after freeing Asa?

Part 2 is already 123 chapters long and been around for 3 years, 4 months (40 months), an added 1/4 longer and one year longer than Part 1’s 97 chapters and 2-year run.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 220 will be released on November 12, 2025.
