‘The Promised Neverland’ chapter 177: Isabella’s sacrifice for the children

“The Promised Neverland” chapter 177 will reveal what happened to Isabella who used her body as cover when a rogue demon guard attacked the children. The upcoming manga installment will also show if there are similar cases happening in other farms as well.

‘The Promised Neverland’ chapter 176 recap

It was a happy moment for every child who grew up on the farm. After all, the message from the capital about them being free and no longer mere food for the demons was just too shocking and something that they've been longing for their entire lives.

“The farms will no longer exist,” the message read. “All the children raised as food will be free.”

“The Promised Neverland” chapter 176 started with a reunion between the escapees and the younger batch of children at Grace Field House. For instance, Emma surprised little Phil when she came home dropped by unexpectedly. “I’m home Phil,” she said.

The young boy can’t help but cry with the unexpected turn of events. “I always believed you would come back for us,” Phil said. Norman and Ray likewise announced their return and were surrounded by the younger children of Grace Feild.

But what surprised the children, even more, is the presence of Isabella. Sensing their questions, she explained the situation to them.

“We’re all free now,” Isabella told the children. “All the farms are being abolished. It’s over.”

But something unexpected happened. “It’s the Queen’s orders,” a demon guard said. “Secure all the staff.”

As everyone became confused, the demon guards tried to convince the humans that the orders are legitimate. “Are we willing to go against the orders of the Grand Duke Leuvis,” the demon guards retorted.

While the children were still celebrating the good news, a demon suddenly appeared in their midst. “This is my farm, this is my meat,” the demon said. “I’ll eat them all here and now,” he added as he began to attack the children.

The older kids tried to stop the demon. However, Isabella was a bit faster than the rest and she stopped the demon’s attack by using her body as a shield.

‘The Promised Neverland’ chapter 177 predictions

The upcoming “The Promised Neverland” chapter 177 will show just how bad Isabella’s injuries are. However, things do not seem to look good for her as her torso was pierced in at least three locations by the demon’s attack.

Sensing that her end is almost near, she will try to apologize to Emma and the rest of the children. She might look very strict and tough on the surface but she has always cared for the kids and was even guilty for her role in the demon farm. Isabella will likely feel that saving the kids at the cost of her life is a worthy sacrifice to atone for her sins.

The demon guard who wanted to eat the children despite the recently released orders by the new Queen represents a small percentage of the demon population that still wants to eat human meat. “The Promised Neverland” chapter 177 is expected to show if there are similar cases happening in other farms as well.

“The Promised Neverland” chapter 177 will arrive on May 18 on Mangaplus. Stay tuned for updates.
