Chainsaw Man Chapter 159, Attack on Samurai Review: Katana Man or Kool Aid Man?

Chapter 159 of Chainsaw Man, “Attack on Samurai,” continues the ongoing rescue arc with more hilarity.
The chapter begins with Haruka telling Nobana and Akoku that they don’t have to come with him, but they both have their own reasons for doing so.
Nobana’s is simply that he does not know how to get out of the building, while Akoku claims he has nowhere else to go.
Although, if Akoku does turn out to be the Fire Devil, then following Haruka to Chainsaw Man would most likely suit whatever his motive is.
Nobana, on the other hand, eventually comes across what he thinks is an exit, only to find it is a cell for people transformed into Chainsaw Men.
The group is confronted by a Public Safety Officer, whose wife is transformed inside the cell.
The man contemplates why his wife transformed, while his annoying neighbor and the Chainsaw Man Fan Club remain human.
When the man claims to have done nothing bad in his life, Asa asks if that’s really true, and the man reveals he cheated on his wife.
Yoru calls him a piece of crap, not for cheating, but for trying to buy time.
She then kicks Fami out of the way, as Katana Man bursts through the wall like he’s the Kool Aid Guy.
Fami tries to get Guilly to protect her, but the Guillotine Devil has already changed back into its totem.
It’s kind of funny how last chapter I wondered how long Guilly would stick around, only for them to immediately leave in the next chapter.
Fami also almost takes her leave, as the Hammer Fiend arrives next to bash her head in with a hammer.
Thankfully, Yoru is there to once again kick her sister in the head.
What else are siblings for?
The chapter then ends with the Hammer Fiend mocking Yoru for kicking Fami out of the way, and Yoru replying that they should try having one arm.
And so, we are left with a cliffhanger teasing the fight with Katana Man and the Hammer Fiend.
We could also hopefully learn the Hammer Fiend’s name and what their deal is next chapter.
As for the fight itself, I think Yoru and Fami will be able to handle it, so long as there are no other complications.
One such complication could be Quanxi.
If she shows up then, yeah, they are probably screwed. 
“Attack on Samurai” is a solid Chainsaw Man, which has great physical humor, with Yoru constantly kicking Fami to keep her safe.
