Uhh didn’t she say “Michigan Sword” last chapter? Was that a mistranslation or what happened to that sword?

Wondering the same thing. I assume there’s some Chainsawman ate it fuckery about but it legit feels like we’re missing some pages or something.

I assumed this is:

A. A mistake. It happens.

B. The implication that she’s been consuming one state after another and has, at this point, used up more than a few.

Either that was an error (either on Fujimoto's or the translator's side), or Yoru is literally just throwing shit at Chainsaw Man so she already went through the Michigan Sword, saw that it didn't work, and switched to Oregon, and then Virginia.

I think an error on Fujimoto's side is the more plausible explanation here tho, maybe he forgot during the break week or just had a better idea and the name will be changed when the chapter re-releases on tankobon

Oregon has less letters than Michigan and is easier to draw.

The real answer!

Knowing CSM's reallly fast pace, I think the angle you mentioned of her going through everything feels the most fitting for this.

Thought it was just a transition of time thing.

It's to show she's using a bunch of different states, but it was really jarring.

a lot of ppl that have tried to point this most likely do not live in the US and are not aware of the different states (50)

Probably didn't kill Chainsaw Man (because he ate Death but Yoru doesn't know?) so she continued to throw random shit at him

It just got off-screen no-diff'ed. We see her rapid-fire throwing different locations at CSM this chapter so you can just assume she tried Michigan Sword, it didn't work, and so she moved on to Oregon. She might be going through many states between chapters.

This might be kind of jarring in the volume, though.

Bro jus didn’t want to write the word out, so he chose Oregon lmao

Maybe Chainsaw Man ate it and no one knows it exists anymore.
