Going into Chapter 187 of Chainsaw Man, I was excited to see the fight between Pochita and the Aging Devil.
Sure enough, it did not disappoint, as “Barf!” begins with Pochita’s heart crashing through the building, his body forming before anyone can stop it.
Pochita immediately slices the Aging Devil apart but, being a Primal Fear, it takes more than that to kill the Aging Devil who turns Pochita into a tree.
These panels are excellent, once again showing off Tatsuki Fujimoto’s skill.
Back in the Aging Devil’s dimension, Denji continues to kill and eat the tree people to power Pochita up.
However, no matter how many times Pochita cuts through the Aging Devil, it always regenerates.
Left with no other option, Denji tells Pochita to vomit up a Devil that will help them.
The chapter then ends with Denji about to barf up this Devil.
There were theories going around after this chapter that Denji would either throw up the Nuclear Weapons Devil, or the Octopus Devil, but we know from some teaser panels released that Denji will throw up Yoshida himself.
Not only is this teased panel grossly hilarious, but it also adds more weight to the theory that Yoshida is the only person who once escaped the Aging Devil’s dimension.
He will probably help Denji and Asa escape next chapter so the fight with the Aging Devil can continue.
As for Chapter 187, it is a brief but exciting one, with a lot of great action panels.
I am interested to see how Yoshida will help next chapter.
