Chainsaw Man’s latest revelation predicts a possible ending

If you’ve been following Chainsaw Man closely, you know that Fujimoto’s storytelling thrives on chaos, unpredictability, and a knack for turning the most far-fetched theory into a plausible plot point. Yet, with Chapter 211, something unusual happened: the pieces finally lined up in a way that feels almost inevitable.

For the past year, many fans, myself included, have thrown around wild speculations about how Part 2 could end. Most of those theories never felt concrete, because Fujimoto doesn’t often telegraph his narrative beats. But now?

We have a framework that’s disturbingly clear, a roadmap to the final war that could consume everything. The core revelation: Yoru, the War Devil, wants to create a never-ending world war. The method? Erase death from existence entirely. The reasoning behind Yoru’s plan is disturbingly logical.

If death ceases to exist, humanity becomes immortal, not just resistant to old age, but incapable of dying from injuries, illness, or even battlefield wounds. War would become a perpetual state. There’d be no final battles, no victories, no armistices, just eternal conflict without the natural endpoint of mortality.

But to achieve this, Yoru needs an erasure ability strong enough to remove the concept of death itself from reality. Enter Denji and Pochita. The Chainsaw Devil’s unique power is one of the only forces in existence capable of accomplishing this.

If Yoru can weaponize Denji in Chainsaw Man, she could quite literally eliminate the Death Devil and seize control over the balance between devils, humanity, and primal fears.

The war to come - Denji, Death, and unlikely allies

From a narrative standpoint of Chainsaw Man, the most likely trajectory is that we’ll see an all-out final war arc. Denji, Death, Famine, and possibly other devils or hunters could form an uneasy alliance to stop Yoru before she achieves her goal.

This wouldn’t be a straightforward “good vs evil” fight; every side would have conflicting priorities, grudges, and hidden agendas. Yoru’s current strategy seems to involve targeting devil hunters specifically. On the surface, this feels strange, but it makes sense if those hunters are guarding powerful devils or weaponized concepts she wants for her army.

If she can seize those assets, she could field a force of weapon-hybrids and devils under her command, dramatically increasing her threat level. This sets the stage for emotionally brutal confrontations. Imagine Denji facing brainwashed allies like Yoshida, or even long-absent characters like Kishibe.

When I picture it, I can already feel that pit-in-the-stomach dread Fujimoto is so good at creating, the kind where you know the fight isn’t just about survival, but about destroying the people you once trusted.

The pacing toward the end in Chainsaw Man

The framework for the ending feels set. The broad beats are in place:

• Denji grapples with the moral and emotional weight of choosing between Yoru and Death.
• The alliances between Death, Famine, and other potential allies solidify.
• Yoru amasses a terrifying army of weapon-hybrids and devil hunters.
• The stage is set for a massive climactic battle that could reshape the world.

If Fujimoto in Chainsaw Man sticks to this trajectory, we could be looking at anywhere from 15 to 30 more chapters to reach the conclusion. That’s enough room for smaller arcs, emotional fallout, and unexpected betrayals before the final confrontation. I’m already bracing myself for how intense those chapters will be.

The inevitable heartbreak that Denji will have to face

If there’s one constant in Chainsaw Man, it’s that happy endings are rare and costly. Even if the “world” survives, individual fates tend to be tragic. Denji’s personal track record with relationships, trust, and survival is grim, and the idea that he’ll emerge from this final conflict unscathed feels wildly optimistic.

There’s also the looming possibility that Fujimoto in Chainsaw Man will throw in an ending twist that reframes the entire story.

He has a habit of subverting climactic battles in favor of emotional gut punches or surreal reversals, so even with a clear framework in place, I can’t assume a straightforward resolution. I’ve been caught off guard before, and I expect it to happen again.
