Expected plot of Chainsaw Man Chapter 168
Chainsaw Man Chapter 168 is likely to open with Asa reeling from the confusion and shock of regaining control of her body after the ‘encounter’ with Denji. She might struggle to understand what just happened and confront Yoru about her actions, seeking clarity and answers. This internal conflict could lead to more being revealed about Asa and Yoru’s current plans.
Asa may end up revealing Yoru’s existence to Denji to explain the situation or lash out at him in Chainsaw Man Chapter 168. Meanwhile, the rest of the group — Haruka, Nobana, and Katana Man — will likely react to the sudden shift in dynamics. Additionally, the chapter could hint at Fami’s next move.

Chainsaw Man Chapter 167 brief recap
Chainsaw Man Chapter 167 is titled Super Smooch and begins as War Devil Yoru finds a piece of trash on the ground before secretly transforming it into a knife. She then approaches Denji, surprising him by offering to rid him of his sex drive. She asks if he wants to get rid of it or not. When she orders him to take off his pants, Denji freaks out and backs out of the deal, pushing Yoru’s knife away.

She responds by shoving her hand down his pants, intending to hurt him. However, this act triggers a memory in Yoru’s subconscious — the kiss she gave him at his old apartment. She gives a confused Denji another kiss, and they start making out, with Yoru’s hand still inside his pants. Time briefly passes, and as Asa regains control of her body, Chainsaw Man Chapter 167 concludes as she stares at her palm in confusion.
