Brief Description of Chainsaw Man Chapter 171
Chainsaw Man chapter 171, titled Special Division 5, begins with Denji’s immediate and intense reaction to seeing Nyuta’s severed head on a conveyor belt. Enraged, Denji lashes out at Berem, who coolly apologizes, claiming his actions were necessary to save the world.
As Denji’s anger grows, his intestines begin to burst out of his body, wrapping around his neck, beginning his transformation into the Chainsaw Devil. This violent transformation ends with Denji tearing Berem’s head off.
Asa and Yoru watch in amazement as Denji completes his transformation. Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 then turns its attention to a nearby rooftop where a man is commanding several Public Safety Division teams. He addresses his team, which includes five Fiends, explaining that the outcome of their mission to kill or immobilize the Black Chainsaw Man will determine their future.
Success means protection under public security, while failure means their elimination like any other devil. To motivate the devils, he promises unlimited sushi and alcohol if they succeed. With the stakes high, he begins missions for the newly reformed Special Division 5.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 171 ends with the team heading out but they don’t know that the Chainsaw Devil, who has now fully transformed, is already after them. Denji is standing behind the roof amid the rubble of the ruined building and watching them with his chainsaw spinning.
