Pochita is still on his killing and erasing streak. The most recent chapter was quite special as it was silent, with no dialogue or sound effects (in text form).
Fujimoto forced the readers to pay attention to the visuals and body language of the characters.
Pochita has now consumed the mouth devil and people can no longer speak or eat anymore.
Meanwhile, Public Safety wants Pochta to consume the aging devil so that the concept of Aging is removed from the world.
CSM 175 ended on a huge cliffhanger, Yoru looking at Pochita, and we can only guess what her feelings are from her expression, my guess is she is still in shock.

Small Recap of CSM 175
The chapter starts with a group of civilians encountering Chainsaw Man and realizing how dangerous he is.
A group of anti-Chainsaw Man protestors target Pochita but Pochita is way too strong for them to handle and they end up getting their heads cut off.
The Aging Devil appears and teams up with Katana Man and Yoru. However, Pochita defeats all three of them.
The chapter ends with Yoru kneeling before Pochita. Her expression is difficult to read due to the lack of a mouth. Pochita did spare her, most likely because of Denji’s feelings for Asa.
What To Expect From Chainsaw Man (CSM) 176?
The last panel showed us the eyes of Yoru, from this, we can speculate a flashback of Yoru’s life is gonna show up in the upcoming chapter.
After the flashback, most likely Yoru will either leave Asa’s body or completely merge with her to unlock her full potential.
Final Words
Right now, there is nobody who can stand against Pochita and this is bad for Denji as he always wanted to be a hero but now he has become a villain officially.
Also, Pochita spared Asa in the latest chapter but we don’t know if Pochita is going to spare her in the upcoming chapter as it is Yoru controlling her body.
But we sure know Fujimoto is gonna keep on making Denji’s life worse. Chainsaw Man 175 is available to read on Manga Plus.
