One of the most noticeable similarities between Asa and Aki is their shared physical trauma. Both characters have lost limbs in tragic circumstances, with Asa’s dismembered hand serving as a grim reminder of what happened to Aki during his battle against the Darkness Devil. Seeing Asa without an arm has brought back painful memories for fans and has left them worried about her future.

However, the similarities between Asa and Aki go beyond their physical trauma. Aki and Denji had developed a close bond and formed a brotherly relationship, only for Aki to transform into the Gun Devil Fiend and meet his demise at Denji’s hands. This tragic event has left fans concerned that Asa’s presence could trigger painful memories for Denji and potentially lead to a similar outcome for her.
Furthermore, fans have also noticed similarities between Asa and other deceased characters in Chainsaw Man, such as Makima and Power. When Asa and Denji were trapped in the aquarium, her behavior mirrored that of Makima, instructing Denji to follow her commands without question. Additionally, Asa’s confident and expressive nature reminded readers of Power, with Denji himself acknowledging the resemblance in their way of speaking.
While these resemblances may evoke nostalgia for fans, they also serve as a grim reminder that none of the characters mentioned—Aki, Makima, or Power—survived in the manga. This has left fans understandably concerned about Asa Mitaka’s fate, fearing that she may meet a similar end.
As Chainsaw Man continues to captivate readers with its intense storyline and complex characters, the uncertain future of Asa Mitaka adds an additional layer of suspense and anxiety. Only time will tell what destiny awaits her and whether she can defy the tragic fates of those who came before her.
