What to expect from Chainsaw Man Chapter 188?
The upcoming chapter could follow one of two major paths. One way could be that Pochita actually throws Denji as a useful devil who will reveal the former’s erasure abilities and related lore. If this actually comes to pass it may also be revealed that Pochita can control it at will.
The second route for the plot to follow involves Denji not throwing away a useful devil, but becoming sick and tired of eating raw human flesh. This can give the manga a comedic relief which is the mangaka’s style. Additionally, it would make Aging vs. Pochita more interesting and open a window for Kishibe’s return to pick up the win.
