Chainsaw Man Chapter 148, Room 606 Sword Review: The World Remembers.

The previous chapter of Chainsaw Man made me slightly concerned that Fujimoto would skip the fight between Asa and Yoshida.
Well, Chapter 148 “Room 606 Sword” put those fears to rest with its title alone.
It begins from where the previous chapter left off, with Denji being accused of being a wannabe Chainsaw Man by the random old man.
I had figured that this old man would turn out to be someone Denji had met to in the past but it turns out that they have not met and the old man is just being paranoid, which works entirely for the fear of Chainsaw Man Fujimoto has created in his world.
Fumiko tries to difuse the situation by revealing herself as a Public Saftey Agent, only for this to be countered by people saying they saw these agents become Chainsaw Men as well.
A member of the crowd then pulls a gun on Denji, demanding that he show them his chest to make sure he does not have a starter, which Denji will have since he is Chainsaw Man.
If I’m not mistaken, the man who pulls a gun is a Public Saftey Agent himself, based on the suit, so it is interesting to note that not all of them know Denji’s identity.
Quanxi tells the group to run and they do so, with Denji carrying Nayuta.
It is kind of funny to think about Quanxi now protecting Makima’s reincarnation.
The man fires at them but Quanxi easily blocks the bullet with her arm, which does cause Fumiko to look back at her, appearing worried for her.
I am not sure why she would be concerned.
This is Quanxi we’re talking about.
She could take out a rioting crowd without breaking a sweat.
Although, maybe Fumiko looks worried because she and Quanxi are togethor?
I know I could be reading too much into this, given that I’m basing the theory off a single look, but it is possible, considering Quanxi had an entire harem in Part One of the story.
Following this scene, we get the best paneling of the chapter, as Fujimoto draws Quanxi’s bleeding arm in one panel, dripping blood in the next, and then, to end the transition, he shows Asa’s cut off arm.
It is with this fantastic transition that the chapter follows the title’s promise of showing us the fight between Asa and Yoshida.
Much to Yoshida’s shock, his second sword strike does not even cut through Asa’s other arm.
This is because the fear of war has finally kicked in and strengthened Yoru.
Yoshida calls upon the Octopus Devil to help him but it is too late because Asa can now transform weapons without touching them.
She uses this upgrade to finally create the Room 606 Sword.
Yoru then takes control and cuts the Octopus Devil apart in a fantastic panel, which makes me wonder what a lot of people were talking about last chapter when they said Fujimoto’s artwork was losing its edge?
Yoru then attempts to attack Yoshida but her power has become so great that she misjudges the distance and smashes into the wall next to him instead, giving Yoshida enough time to flee.
Yoru then leaps down from her and Asa’s destroyed apartment and finds the recently started Chainsaw Man War has thrown the world into chaos.
The chapter then ends with Yoru breaking out into laughter, declaring that the world finally remembers her.
Is it weird that I feel happy for Yoru because she was scared about being forgotten earlier in Part Two?
I also hope Yoru powering up signifies that we will be getting more of her and Asa in the next few chapters, since they have been put to the side for a bit previously.
As well as this, I am still interested to see if Asa can regenerate her missing arm or not.
Overall, this was short chapter of Chainsaw Man but it was still an exciting one.
Denji, Fumiko and Nayuta are on the run, and Asa and Yoru are now growing in power.
I look forward to seeing where Fujimoto goes with these characters next.
