This time haters might be just right.
Chainsaw Man manga spoilers ahead!
Summary:
- Chainsaw Man Chapter 154 has just been released.
- Fumiko refuses to save Denji and leaves.
- This has caused a major hate wave toward Fumiko among fans.
Chainsaw Man fans can’t catch a break, it seems, because each week brings more and more heartbreak to them. But the good news is that they’ve already experienced so much pain and suffering that they’ll have to become immune to it very soon.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 154 “All Pets” was released on January 31, but it’s already managed to cause a wave of outrage among the manga readers. And this time their target is Fumiko.
Fumiko is a devil hunter whose original goal was to protect Denji from various threats. However, the latest chapter rendered this sentence meaningless as the reason for fans’ fury is exactly the fact that she refused to protect Denji and Nayuta.
She just… left

The previous chapter showed people attacking the Chainsaw Man, eager to set him on fire, and he was too tired and broken to keep fighting. That’s when Nayuta decided to join the fight and protect him, calling Denji her family.
But Fumiko had another idea. When Nayuta asks her to help them, Fumiko says it’s hopeless and mentions that saving Denji is not her problem, since she’s a public safety agent first, leaving Nayuta to deal with the angered people by herself.
What’s even worse, Fumiko smiles patronizingly when Nayuta calls their pets family, calling them “only pets” and disappearing a mere moment after that.
Fumiko is losing fans
This betrayal just couldn’t leave fans neutral, and all hell broke loose: there are already dozens of memes about Fumiko stans rethinking their priorities and claiming her the enemy now.
Fumiko already had a questionable reputation among fans, as there were so many people who found her problematic and unenjoyable, but she still had her own fanbase. But the new chapter is turning her into (one of) the most hated characters of the series.
Fans also wonder if we will ever see Fumiko again after this chapter, and some even suggest that it’s possible that she has vanished for good. It’s obvious that this action will have its consequences, as Nayuta will never forgive Fumiko for leaving her and Denji like that.
But we hope that we will see her again, and that Fujimoto will force his characters to deal with this situation in the future. It will be very curious to learn Denji’s reaction. But for now we can enjoy fans’ reaction and the mess that Fumiko turned the fandom into in the latest chapter.
