Chainsaw Man chapter 171 featured the return of the Chainsaw Satan as Pochita took management of Denji’s physique. Whereas that actually was the spotlight of the chapter, the followers have identified a small discrepancy within the English model of the chapter, as in comparison with the Japanese one.
Within the Japanese model of the chapter (web page 7) there’s a panel of Denji’s chord being pulled earlier than he transforms into the Chainsaw Satan.
Nevertheless, within the English model of the chapter uploaded on Manga Plus and Viz Media’s Shonen Bounce app, this panel is changed by Asa’s face.
Take a look at the panels beneath:
Whereas the rationale for the change isn’t recognized, some are speculating that English model may be primarily based on an older model of the chapter. Whereas the one on the Japanese websites may very well be an up to date model.

Even so, it’s an fascinating addition, and a callback to half 1 the place Denji was proven pulling his chord in an analogous catatonic state.
Although it in all probability appears that this discrepancy gained’t have any main impression on the storyline going ahead; it’s nonetheless eagerly being mentioned on social media platforms and boards.
