Chapter 127

Save the Asa (セーブザアサ) is the 127th Chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga.

Summary
Gripping onto a loose exhaust fan cover, Asa is holding on for dear life, only for Falling Devil to grab ahold of her head. She begins to tell Asa that she knows that she’s more scared of the pain caused by falling to her death, rather than dying itself, and promises Asa a peaceful and painless fall if she closes her eyes. Thinking about the past injustices in her life - such as her former caretaker murdering her cat, as well as Yuko turning into a devil - she accepts the Falling Devil's offer and lets go. While all this is happening Yoru screams in panic, helpless to do anything.

As she falls, she admits that Falling Devil was telling the truth, and that now she no longer has to worry about hurting others or being hurt anymore. She then laments that she wish she had some form of companionship, even if it were with just one person, only for her thoughts to be interrupted by Denji, as Chainsaw Man, jumping up to rescue her.

Asa pleads to Chainsaw Man to let her go, reiterating her nihilistic worldview of how life is full of suffering. Denji initially agrees, but as soon as he notices that the negativity is causing her to raise upwards, he tries to overload her thoughts with those of dogs, cats and ice-cream. Soon, the two have stopped floating upward, though Asa, still clearly affected by Crambon's death, asks Chainsaw Man what he would know about grief, only for him to remark how he's familiar with the feeling; as soon as things start looking like they're only going well, a calamity occurs that makes life seem like it's not worth living. Asa begins to cheer up as Denji continues speaking, stating that some days are just drowned out with negativity. Asa asks him how he's able to overcome such negativity, to which he admits he hasn't, but he's able to look past the "crapburger" because he has a desire worth fighting for. Asa asks what that desire is, to which Denji enthusiastically replies that it's sex. Still in tears, Asa reacts with disgust.
