Chainsaw Man Chapter 146: Release Date, Speculations, Read Online

Public Safety shuts down the Chainsaw Man Church in Chapter 145, titled “Kumbaya.”

The higher-ups completely wrap up all their operations in the Church and seize their members. The only loose thread remaining is Asa Mitaka, the poster child of the Church. Yoshida shows up at her apartment and immediately moves to attack before they can react.

Barem is surrounded and arrested in front of Denji, Fumiko, and Nayuta. Although he cooperates peacefully, he sings an ominous song to God while leaving.

Here are the latest updates.

I. Is Chainsaw Man on Break This Week?

No, Chainsaw Man is not on break this week. The chapter will be released on the date mentioned above.

3. Chapter 146 Speculations

This chapter shows the effortless capture of the Church by Public Safety, which is too good to be true. The mystery of the Justice Devil from one of the earliest chapters has also gotten deeper, so there is much to expect from upcoming chapters.

I. Fami is the one giving contracts

One of the leading theories regarding the fake Justice Devil contracts involves the Famine Devil. Being a horseman, she has a lot of power and contracts that could be lent to the minors as a part of the Church.

II. Another Primal Devil enters

While Barem is arrested, he does not make a scene or fight. Instead, he sings “Kumbaya,” a well-known song that calls for God’s help to the needy. Since the sun just set, this could be a call to the Primal Darkness Devil or even the God Devil to fight on the side of the Church.

III. Yoshida vs War

Yoshida has made an incredible entrance in this chapter, slicing Asa’s arm off with insane speed. Since he’s one of the few people who survived a fight with Quanxi, Yoshida is obviously one of the strongest fighters. Considering Yoru’s weakened state and Asa’s inexperience, Yoshida should easily win this battle even if Asa manages to use her ability.

4. Chapter 145 Recap

Public Safety reports their successful capture of all Chainsaw Man Church facilities throughout major cities in Japan. They’ve also seized several counts of heavy weaponry and taken in the minors with devil contracts to the control center.

They move to broadcast all their activities and make sure that the people know what’s going on. The next step is the capture of the War Devil, Asa Mitaka. The Devil Name Consultant discovers something weird and asks for a meeting with the higher-ups of Public Safety.

Meanwhile, Barem is surrounded by multiple officers and arrested. Fumiko suggests that he could join Public Safety like the Bow and Katana hybrids. Barem ignores her and says that he wants to take some time to admire the sunset before leaving.

The Devil Name Consultant stands in front of the enormous caterpillar-like devil that was killed during the Falling Devil fight. He has recognized it as the real Justice Devil. However, they had encountered people in the Church with contracts to the Justice Devil, which wouldn’t make sense.

In a different part of the city, Asa watches the news and hears about the Church’s activities. She hears the doorbell ring, and a voice from the other side commands the War Devil to surrender. Asa stays calm and tells Yoru she plans to turn the room into a weapon.

She wants Yoru to take control of her body after and fight whoever’s on the other end. The door blasts open before she can touch the ground and make the Room 606 Sword, and Yoshida slices her arm clean off. While Barem gets handcuffed, he sings Kumbaya on repeat.
