Chapter 132

Protection (保護) is the 132nd Chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga.

Summary
The next day Nayuta is having lunch at her schools cafeteria. She orders two of her fellow classmates to give her their desserts to which they immediately comply. The kids discuss that many of their peers are absent today. Some speculate that they had moved away from Tokyo, but one mentions that it's more likely that they're dead. A kid wearing glasses names one of their classmates which had died recently to which another one corrects them that they're only missing. Nayuta is interested but before she could inquire further a group of heavily armed men rush into the school and apprehend her.

Meanwhile at a hospital, Asa is going through a nightmare. She's woken up by a news broadcast covering yesterdays attack. Still distressed Asa sits up. An elderly woman next to her notes that her grandkid who was crushed by debris was just about her age. Hospital staff rushes in with more wounded and orders those sitting to make way. An absent minded Asa ponders that Chainsaw Man has saved her life once more. The news broadcast switches to Haruka Iseumi giving a speech on TV, looking for recriuts for "Chainsaw Man Society for World Peace" which is met with mockery from the audience and the show host himself.

Haruka deeply hurt by this, questions Fami on why she had made him go there in the first place. She retorts that it was necessary and that he shouldn't think about anything. A mysterious figure puts their hands on Harukas shoulder and backs Fami up. Haruka relents, frightened by this indivudal.

Denji is stripped to his pants and tied to a chair in a holding cell. Yoshida expresses his satisfaction for being able to "protect" Denji succesfully. Denji disagrees with Yoshidas definition of "protection". After Denji inquires further Yoshida explains the whereabouts of Asa, Nayuta and his dogs. Upon hearing that Nayuta and the dogs are also being "protected" by them Denji throws himself from the chair furiously vowing to kill Yoshida. He mockingly offers to do sexual favors for him in exchange for their release. Yoshida declines reassuring Denji that they mean no harm.
