In Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man, the mission to rescue Asa and Fami at the Tokyo Demon Detention Center is full of unexpected victories and clumsy mistakes.
Since Asa discovered the truth about Denji, the excitement of this arc only increased. Quanxi chose not to harm the group for the sake of a trusted friend and asked Yoru to end her life.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 162, titled Scary, continues the previous chapter with the reveal of Quanxi. Despite his attempts to distract her with feigned respect, Nail Fiend's efforts fail.
Quanxi anticipated and blocked attacks from both Nail and Katana Man, quickly decapitating the latter. Yoru creates weapons from scalpels, creating the Scalpel Rod.
Meanwhile, Haruka Iseumi accidentally knocks Denji's head off. Yoru and Nail briefly clashed with Quanxi, but her power overwhelmed them.
Quanxi slammed Yoru against the wall and stabbed Nail multiple times. As Quanxi moved towards Nobana Higashiyama, Denji's head instinctively served as a shield, briefly blocking her progress.
Takagi encourages Nobana to take action. Quanxi admits she did not attack Denji thanks to advice from a trusted friend, realizing the threat he posed.
Takagi reveals Quanxi's real reason for working at the Public Safety Agency: to find the bodies of her past lovers. However, he is fatally ambushed from behind by his chainsaw-ridden wife, who escapes with Katana Man's help.
As she consumed his remains, Nail Fiend felt amused by the irony, reminiscing about her previous encounter with Katana Man.
Quanxi offers the group a deal, offering to pretend defeat so they can kill her without consequences, as she, like Chainsaw Man, cannot truly die. Before agreeing, Yoru asked about their relative strengths.
Quanxi admits that Chainsaw Man is weaker but much scarier than him. Chapter 162 of Chainsaw Man ends with Yoru raising her sword, ready to discreetly end Quanxi's life.
Expected
In Chapter 163 of Chainsaw Man, Yoru can offer support to Quanxi in exchange for her loyalty, possibly by taking back the bodies of Quanxi's lovers.
This deal could create a rift within the group, as one faction focuses on reviving Denji while the other faction follows Quanxi's demands.
In Chapter 163 of Chainsaw Man, the focus may be on the faction aiming to revive Denji, led by Yoru and Asa.
With Denji almost completely reunited, the group can begin the resurrection process in the upcoming chapter.
