In the latest release of Chainsaw Man Chapter 157, fans were finally treated to the much-anticipated revelation of who came to Denji’s rescue. This had been a topic of intense speculation leading up to the chapter’s release.
Chapter 157 unequivocally confirmed that Asa Mitaka and War Devil Yoru had swooped in to save Denji, with an assist from Famine Devil Fami, who joined forces with them.
Their entrance into the Tokyo Devil Detention Center was executed with finesse, thanks to a clever strategy orchestrated by Asa, leveraging her abilities and innocent demeanor to gain access.
However, once inside, their tactics no longer held sway, necessitating direct confrontation with any adversaries they encountered from that point onward.
In a comedic twist, Asa stumbled and fell in front of some guards, adding another mishap to her track record of untimely accidents.
Fami wasted no time in springing into action, seemingly poised to summon a formidable Devil ally. While the identity of this ally remains a mystery, it’s unlikely to be someone familiar like her associate Barem Bridge or any other member of the Chainsaw Man Church’s hierarchy.
Speculating on Fami’s Idol in Chainsaw Man Chapter 157
Towards the end of Chainsaw Man chapter 157, fans caught sight of Fami clutching what seemed to be a small totem or figurine, barely larger than her hand. Positioned strategically between Asa Mitaka and the Public Safety guards who had stumbled upon them, it hinted at a defensive or protective measure.
While distinctly different in appearance, followers of the series recalled Fami’s prior use of a similar object in a summoning-like ritual for a Primal Devil.
Recollections turned to the Falling Devil arc’s climax, where Fami compelled the eponymous antagonist to morph into an object of strikingly similar proportions. The sole discernible contrast lay in their coloration: the idol associated with the Falling Devil bore a pale hue, while the recent discovery sported a darker shade.
Speculation arose that the idol in Chainsaw Man chapter 157 might be linked to the Falling Devil but takes on an altered appearance when in a pre-summoned state, compared to its manifestation post-summoning.
Alternatively, conjecture swirled around the possibility of Fami summoning another iteration of the Falling Devil, perhaps its true form. This notion gained traction, particularly in light of the Falling Devil’s previous manifestation, which comprised the amalgamated remains of its victims.
Fami’s Summoning Power
Another plausible scenario is that Fami is summoning another Primal Devil under her control, a likelihood bolstered by the notion of these powerful entities having their own followers, akin to Makima’s revelation regarding the Chainsaw Devil’s devotees in the earlier part of the series.
Given this context, it’s highly probable that Fami is gearing up to summon one of her followers at a Primal Devil level or even beyond.
However, it’s highly improbable that Barem Bridge is the intended summon in Chainsaw Man chapter 157. Most of the upper echelons of the Chainsaw Man Church have already been apprehended, making it unlikely for Fami to jeopardize any more of her allies needlessly.
Consequently, the most plausible explanation points towards Fami summoning either the Falling Devil or another Primal Devil follower of hers.
In either case, this newfound ally is poised to be a formidable force, potentially tipping the scales in favor of Asa and Fami as they strive to accomplish their mission of liberating Denji.
