Chapter 122

The Prophecies is the 122nd Chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga.

Summary
The chapter opens up with Fami making an extraordinarily large order in the same restaurant to which Yoshida has brought Denji before. Yoshida asks Fami to slow down as that's quite too expensive especially since the order is on him. Yoshida comments on Fami's low effort choice for an allias to which Fami responds by claiming she doesn't care about her identity being exposed.

Yoshida proceeds to tell Fami about the "Prophecy of Nosterdamus" which forsees the extinction of humanity in July of 1999. Despite the public not giving it much attention Public Safety took it seriously and made 30 convicts make a contract with the Future Devil under the terms of release from custody. The convicts recieved the knowledge of dates of their deaths for an unknown price, it confirmed that 23 out of the 30 convicts will die in July 1999.

Yoshida tells Fami that Public Safety believes she is involved with the prophecy and threatens to treat her as a wild devil if she doesn't cooperate. In response Fami reveals that the remaining 7 convicts will all die this week, Furthermore she says a Primal Fear appeared 40 seconds ago at East Districts Tamano Apartments and that "she" will be the first devil to cast the world into the abyss of terror.

We cut to an apartment in which 2 characters celebrate one of them getting a promotion. One of them asks if they can buy a car if they get a raise but both decide having a car is way too expensive. Both abruptly drop the topic and decide that they should die now. They proceed to walk to the balcony and jump to their deaths.

We cut back to Yoru watching in confusion as countless people drop to their deaths before her. She summons a "Ruler Sword" and takes a stance. Shortly after a mangled figure emerges from the pile of corpses. In response Yoru drops her bag and runs away claiming she cannot possibly win this fight.

Trivia
The prophecy references a real life prophecy of Nostradamus titled "QUATRAIN X.72". It's english translation reads as follows:

"The year one thousand nine hundreds ninety nine seven months From the sky will come a great King of alarm To bring back to life the great King of Angoulmois. Before after Mars to reign by good fortune."

The CSM version is slightly altered and quite a bit shorter "In the seventh month of 1999, a great king of terror will descend"
