This inconsistency in the Chainsaw Man manga could have consequences in the future
There's no denying that Chainsaw Man is a rather unique manga. Tatsuki Fujimoto has taken care of developing an interesting plot, with some unexpected twists and that expands its universe more with each chapter. However, In one of its recent chapters something has occurred that could be considered as an inconsistency and that could have effects in the future.
It is important to note that this inconsistency we are talking about could be due to a carelessness on the part of Fujimoto and he simply missed it, or it could be an indication of How Pochita's Erasing Power Actually Works in his final form as Chainsaw Man. We'll tell you the details below.
An unexpected detail in Chainsaw Man Chapter 173 could explain how Pochita's power works, or not.
The world of Chainsaw Man was momentarily left without ears
The Chainsaw Man manga continues its publication, surprising us with each new chapter in which this perverse and complex plot develops further and where the main victim is Denji. And it is that, after the revelation of Nayuta's apparent deathhe couldn't bear it and had a mental breakdown that served to summon the final form of Pochita, the hero of hell.
In this form, Pochita acquires an absurd power, which implies that she can erase from existence different concepts that are represented by demons when she devours them. This It has been made clear in chapter 173 of the mangawhen we saw that Chainsaw Man ate the Demon Ears.
The direct consequence of this event was the disappearance of ears in people, as shown in the manga. Although, later, Yoshida returned to attack Chainsaw Man and make this demon vomitso the world regained its ears. However, in the midst of these events, there was a detail that went unnoticed by many, but that could be an indication of how this power of Pochita works.
One of the major revelations in Chainsaw Man Chapter 173 was the existence of another Primeval Demon, which was shown to be in Hell. This one has a skeletal appearance and three heads, so it is not known what its name is or what it representsHowever, this creature sits on the back of a human, symbolizing a throne or its power.
And it is precisely in this panel that something curious happens, because when we look closely at that scene of this new demon, we see that the human he is sitting on still has his ears. And this happened before Yoshida appeared and made Chainsaw Man vomit the Ears Demon.
This is a rather chaotic situation, as it could mean two things. The first is that Chainsaw Man's erasure power does not affect Hell, which would explain why this human still has his ears, and It would also give us to understand that this ability is not as broken as we thought. at the beginning. Or it could be a mistake on Fujimoto's part.
If this wasn't a mistake by Fujimoto, then it would have shown us the limits of Pochita's power.
It's no secret that the weekly publication of a manga is very stressful, so it's quite natural for mangakas to make some mistakes in their illustrations, which are corrected in the release of the compilation volumeIt may be that this panel of the human with his ears is a mistake by the author and nothing more.
However, if it wasn't an oversight by the author, but rather a display of Chainsaw Man's power limits, then we might have a better idea of how this erasure ability works and understand that It has its restrictions and does not affect hellHowever, this is nothing more than speculation until Fujimoto speaks out on the matter, or something happens in the story that allows us to confirm that, indeed, Pochita's power has limits.
