Chainsaw Man Chapter 122 "Early" analyses. [Also the Nostradamus Prophecy]

So this chapter leaked last week on I think it was Bilibili and I read it then. But holy shit was the translations SHIT AS FUCK!! Like actually awful. So I held off on reading it until now. So 122 has a lot going on. This chapter feels like it has information missing in translation. which is why I was gonna read both the Viz and TCB Releases for it. But they where both identical so- Shit. [The Analyses Begins] This chapter starts off with an interesting revalation. Not so much about Yoshida knowing about the Famine Devil but that Yoshida invited her to lunch at the same café he took Denji to near the beginning of part 2. While he completely blew Asa off. What this tells me is 1. Yoshida doesn't know about Asa/Yoru, Or at least public safety doesn't know about them. 2. Yoshida's treatment of Denji was because he's Chainsaw Man, Not directly because of any special feelings towards him.

Then we get this bomb shell dropped.

The Nostradamus prophecy is a real thing. It was made in the 1500s by Michael Nostradamus. However the thing is he also made 950 other prophecies. Safe to say not many of them came true. The actual prophecy goes as such:

The year one thousand nine ninety-nine seven month

From the sky shall come a great King of terror,

[Shall be] revived the great King of Angoulmois.

Before and after, Mars [shall] reign as chance will have it. From the brief research on this prophecy the common belief seems to be that this was predicting a Mongolian invasion. The king of the Mongols being akin to the antichrist. However I doubt that Fujimoto is going to have the final villain of this arc be the king of the Mongols. So I will choose to ignore that. As for Mars I'm not quite sure but it could mean the Roman God Mars, Who was the god of war. Believe this to be a line about war would align with the idea of this being a Mongolian Invasion. In which it would mean a War between Devils and Humans. Let's reinterpret this through the lens of chainsaw man. July, 1999. The king of terror will descend from the sky. The King shall be revived Before and after, War will reign under these Circumstances. Something like that (Maybe). As to what this could actually mean, I think the King of Terror in question is Death.

From what Famine says this is what we know of this new devil: 1. First of the devils who will Shepard the world to the ultimate Terror 2. Primal Fear The first part is rather easy because this is more than likely a horseman of the apocalypse. Since we already know the whereabouts of Conquest (Control), Famine, And War that leaves two possible Horsemen still unaccounted for. There are a few sperate interpretations of the horsemen of the apocalypse depending on which scripture you're reading. conquest, war, famine and death Are the most common ones. However in the book of Ezekial the horseman are as follows:

sword, famine, wild beasts and pestilence (Or Plague depending on translation) While I doubt that Sword and Wild Beasts will be the final horsemen, Pestilence/Plague has a decent chance of coming to light. Due to the fact it's fairly common to see Pestilence being apart of the modern horsemen. So this is my prediction as to what we're dealing with. War, Control, Famine, Plague (Or Pestilence) as lead by Death. The root of all fear is death. As proved by Vsauce that one time. But this still brings up a problem. What the fuck is this thing?

Everyone seems to think this is the Death Devil but honestly I doubt it. At least not it's actual physical form. This is a puppet being controlled by something else. We can see it form from the bodies of it's victims in the earlier panels.

I feel like a fraud for not having some big conclusion at the end of this but I really don't have one. I don't fucking know what this new devil is. It could be the death devil, It could be the plague devil, It could even be the corpse devil, I really can't fucking tell. I'll finish this off with a prediction as to how chainsaw man will end. The Nostradamus Prophecy will come to pass. Humans won't be completely eradicated as Devils need them to be afraid for them to have power. We're entering into the Chainsaw Man war arc. If Denji and Asa are unable to overcome the odds then the world will probably end right as the date switches over to the 2000s. This fucking chapter gives us so much to question and not a single answer we couldn't have already inferred. GREAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Uhhh My friends pointed out: -"I think the death devil would be more scary" (Paraphrasing, As to why this might not be the death devil) -"Fami eats so much because she's the Famine Devil" (Genius)

Chainsaw Man ch 121 and 122- An interesting parallel

(Minor spoiler alert- Madoka Magica)

As we all know, Tatsuki Fujimoto is a huge fan of media-- films, manga, tv, books etc... and he has made countless references to his favourite media in almost all of his works so far. After I watched Madoka Magica a few days ago (a series Fujimoto previously recommended to his audience), I noticed this parallel between ep 10 of Madoka Magica and csm chapter 121 which I thought was quite significant-

So yes- it's this scene. I find them so similar-- I can't really see it being coincidence. Both sequences end in a similar way as well. Homura unwillingly walks into the Witch's labyrinth while Asa stumbles upon a devil by accident- events that were completely out of their control. Homura would've died in the labyrinth if Mami and Madoka didn't save her, and this also applies to Asa's situation right now as it was revealed in ch 122 today that Yoru couldn't fight the devil, so she starts running away in fear. In clearer words, they both run into highly dangerous situations (that could potentially lead to death), while thinking about death. However, Homura was rescued. Does this open up a chance of Asa being rescued soon? Or is it just my wishful thinking... I really hope that happens, I would love to see a direct interaction between her and Chainsaw Man (Denji) again. The prophecy that was mentioned today also reminded me of the impending doom of Walpurgisnacht.
