The events in Chainsaw Man continue to escalate, with the latest chapter being filled with shocking reveals. It has now gotten to the point that the new Chainsaw Man arc might just be the series’ Shibuya Incident.

These Jujutsu Kaisen comparisons make sense given that both titles are ongoing, not to mention that their creators respect and appreciate each other’s works.

More than that, the latest Chainsaw Man developments are shaping up to be game-changing for Denji, Asa, and the rest of the world.

Spoiler Warning: There are Chainsaw Man Chapter 146 spoilers in this article.

To say the events in Chapter 146 are game-changing is an understatement as the world of Chainsaw Man is in peril. That’s because the Chainsaw Man Church’s plans have finally been revealed and are set in motion.

For months now, readers have been confused about what exactly the goal of the church is.

It turns out that they wanted members to make a contract with the Fire Devil instead of the Justice Devil as they claimed.

Barem also revealed that the Fire Devil’s abilities become more powerful as more people are contracted. Plus, it’s shown that the Fire Devil grants contractors the ability to change form.

Soon, members of the church around the world are transformed into mindless Chainsaw Men, plunging cities into chaos.

It turns out that this was part of Fami’s plan. Nayuta figures out that Fami’s goal is to make everyone afraid of Chainsaw Man and war. This is to make them stronger in order to kill the Death Devil.

These are major reveals that explain a lot of what’s going on in Chainsaw Man. They also have the potential to be the biggest event in the series yet, even more so than the International Assassins and Gun Devil arcs.

Because of this, some fans think that this new arc might be Chainsaw Man’s Shibuya Incident. After all, the Shibuya Incident continues to be Jujutsu Kaisen's biggest arc in terms of how it shaped the story.

If this is indeed the case, fans can look forward to even more shocking twists and turns. Sadly, the wait for the next chapter will be a bit longer than before.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 147 will be released in two weeks. On the flip side, this gives fans a lot of time to come up with their best theories.
