Chainsaw Man: New Chapter 168 gets fan-made alternate route

With its manga chapter 167, Chainsaw Man has been trending for certain events that come in it. Now, with the arrival of its continuation, chapter 168, it has been known what happened after that situation full of “discharges” with our protagonists Denji and Asa. But apparently a fan was not happy with how this moment was officially given, that’s why he created an alternative route with much more action and what you would really expect from this popular work. WARNING! this note will contain spoilers of the current story of Chainsaw Man.

Chapter 168 is recreated with an alternate route made by a Chainsaw Man fan.

In a recent update of the Chainsaw Man manga, which was expected by all the fans after the impressive chapter 167, the followers learned what happened after that already iconic scene that many of the fans laughed at and others saw in the last panel where Denji was satisfied by Asa Mitaka. But others, on the other hand, like the user “@mapipachi1901“, decided to make his own route of chapter 168, since this one had not been to his liking, adding things in a dramatic way, something that made fans prefer this one to the original.

In this chapter we can observe a Denji sitting on the ground after exchanging a few words with Asa. On the other hand, in this route the outcome with Asa changes: instead of this girl hitting herself feeling regret, the other characters of the plot enter, who had already been accompanying Denji and Asa, with much less than kindness in their words end up unleashing a fight, where the girl with scars on her face ends up culminating in a single movement.

This new chapter of Chainsaw Man originally left many fans disappointed, since there is not much more than a few words between the two protagonists, culminating with Denji devastated or shocked by the situation he had just lived. That is why this Fanmade, which drastically changes the sad outcome, was better received by these fans who were disappointed by the original manga, especially for having a lot of action, something that apparently had been reduced with the release of these last chapters of the manga.

Now, we can only wait to know how the story of Chainsaw Man will continue, since, although it is not at a key point, it still has many unknowns to answer, and since Denji’s mission has always been to get along with a girl, it is expected that in the future more of these types of scenes will happen. Also, with this, fans will be able to continue creating this type of Fanmades, which, in many cases, end up filling the fanservice that the original work has not provided.
