Chapter 139

## Chapter Chronology

**A Chair's Feelings** (イスの気持 (きも) ち, *Isu no Kimochi*?) is the 139th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Sword Man answers Denji's rhetorical question by explaining that he was the sword hybrid that was once under Makima's control. Denji, still slightly confused, explained that he wasn't the Chainsaw Man that he fought during that battle, before leaving for school.

In class, Sword Man is revealed to be a transfer student from Kanagawa named Miri Sugo, revealing that he's athletic, good at playing piano, and he doesn't want to make friends. As he sits down, he's surrounded by a group of girls who start to bother him, leading him to ask Denji if he can help shoo them away, much to his confusion.

Later outside, Denji tries to interrogate Miri, only for it to be revealed that Fumiko is with them, sitting on his back. Miri reveals that the weapon hybrids are aligned with the church and that they're offering him a high position to join. Fumiko points out how little sense it makes for Denji not to be the leader of the organisation, only for Miri to reply that someone with his position basically gets free reign on what missions they can perform and rewards they earn, with him noting that he even gets to have steak for every meal. Fumiko rebukes the offer by saying Denji would get bored with eating steak every day, but she could see herself eating sushi and parfaits for each meal. Denji chimes in with his choice of Chinese food, before Miri corrects the trajectory of their discussion.

Miri replies that he's aware of Denji's past with Makima, and that he too was in a similar boat until Denji was able to help set him free. As of such, he joined the Church to freely commit his mind and body to a cause he's grateful for, and that Denji should do the same. Fumiko asks him if he's certain if the Church isn't taking advantage of him as well, only for him to rebuke that seeing Chainsaw Man being used as a chair feels wrong. Denji replies that whilst he's not in the best circumstances now, he's still able to enjoy what he likes whilst also living the life he dreamed of, and as of such, he rejects Miri's request. Frustrated, Miri leaves, saying that he also wanted to befriend Denji due to how he was the one who freed him from Makima. Before he leaves, he makes an off-hand comment that joining the Church meant that he could've slept with as many women as he wanted. Despite there only being one entrance and leaving before him, he then somehow manages to run into Denji, who states that after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

Chapter 49

## Chapter Chronology

**Shark Hurricane** (サメハリケーン, *Same Harikēn*?) is the 49th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Aki moves in to attack Reze again, however after seeing a vision from the Future Devil, moves back and begins to dodge her attacks. In retaliation, Reze transforms her arm into a missile and hits the ground, causing a massive explosion.

As she is knocked back by her own blast, it is revealed the Violence Fiend arrived, managing to grab Aki and pull him out of the blast to safety. As Violence Fiend apologizes for his lateness, Aki comments he's "Never Been So Glad To See A Devil". As the two look to Reze, she pauses and asks for a 'time-out', commenting that she had lost a lot of blood and a two-against-one fight in those conditions is unfair. Violence Fiend agrees, asking Aki if they should accept a handicap in the fight, however Aki flat-out refuses. Reze then reveals her hesitation was merely a ploy, as a now monstrously massive Typhoon Devil crashes through a nearby building, offering to enter the fight.

Nearby, Angel Devil moves through the rubble, absorbing the life energy of the dying victims and comforting them. Moving over to Denji's torso, which is now being clutched by Beam, Angel Devil gives him blood, restoring him to full strength and Denji wakes up naked. Beam is delighted, commenting on how Denji is "Super Cool!". Angel Devil tells Denji he needs to choose whether he wants to die and give Reze his heart, or kill her. Denji thinks on this, before deciding to kill her, stating its an "Easy Choice".

Denji worries about Reze's enormous strength. Angel Devil asks Beam for advice, commenting that he seems to have a greater knowledge of the Chainsaw Devil. Beam suggests that Denji should use his chainsaws to move more quickly, by wrapping the chains around objects and swinging from building to building. Denji grows excited at the prospect of expanding his power, and orders Beam to transform into a shark. As he does, Denji gets dressed and jumps onto his back, and uses the chains of his chainsaw as a set of reins, hoping to control Beam like a horse. Both Beam and Angel Devil comment on this nonsensical method of movement, however Denji ignores them. Denji and Beam charge towards the fight, much to the surprise of Aki and Reze. As they move forward, the Typhoon Devil greets them excitedly.

## Summary

As Denji and Beam lay unconscious, the woman appears and applauds Tolka's work. However, ignoring Tolka's concerns of moving the body, the woman begins to explain the secret to making a 'Perfect Doll': By gathering the trust, respect, worship and pity of an individual before converting them. With that, she transforms him, revealing that she is the real Santa Claus, and that the Elderly Man is merely another 'Perfect Doll' controlled by her.

As Aki and the other Hunters awaken, Quanxi defeats Yoshida, throwing him through a window. As he falls, he is able to catch himself with the Octopus Devil. Inside, the others prepare to fight, until Aki suddenly stops, horrified and confused by his future vision. Suddenly, from outside, Santa Clause sacrifices the Elderly Man and the three children he was promised to the Hell Devil, in return for sending every living person within the building to Hell. Those inside the building are plunged into pitch-blackness, as those outside are horrified to see a giant, six-fingered hand reach down and seemingly crush the building.

Those who were inside the building suddenly appear in a large, grassy field, with the sky completely covered in thousands of various doors: Hell.

## Chapter Chronology

**Arrival in Tokyo** (東 (とう) 京 (きょう) 到 (とう) 着 (ちゃく) , *Tōkyō Tōchaku*?) is the 3rd chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Makima takes Denji to Devil Hunters Tokyo HQ and explains about the Public Safety Devil Hunters. But Denji only thinks of what she said earlier and starts imagining his future with her. Makima gives Denji an uniform and introduces him to Aki Hayakawa and assigns him to Aki for the day. Denji starts to complain that he wants to work with Makima, but she tells him that if he does well, they will be able to work together.

While patrolling, Aki takes Denji to a dead end corner and beats him up, telling him to quit. He explains that people who became Devil Hunters for weak reasons are the first to die and guesses correctly that Denji only became Devil Hunter as he is interested in Makima. Aki then turns, saying he will tell Makima that Denji got scared and ran, but Denji hits him between the legs. As he hits Aki, he explains that he hits guys only in the crotch and that today was the first day he felt like a human and someone treated him a meal and he wants to keep living like that. Aki stands up and fights back, but as he got hit again between the legs, he collapses.

Returning to HQ, Denji says that Aki got attacked by a Testicle Devil, but Aki reveals that's a lie. They explain they don't get along, but Makima decides to put them in Aki's experimental squad. Makima then explains that Denji can turn into a Devil and if he tries to run or quits, he will be put down as a devil. Later Denji wonders if Makima is a bad or good person, but as he remembers how she hugged him, he mentions he wants to hug her again.

Cockroach Devil

The **Cockroach Devil** (ゴキブリの悪 (あく) 魔 (ま) , *Gokiburi no Akuma*?) is a devil who embodies the fear of cockroaches. He is a minor antagonist in the Justice Devil arc.

## Appearance

The Cockroach Devil is gigantic and has a meshwork appearance of a skeletal layer on its body that covers its head but does not fully cover its exposed torso. It resembles a humanoid cockroach and has antennae on its head and across its back.

## Personality

The Cockroach Devil seems to be calculating and vengeful, hoping to catch Chainsaw Man off-guard by dropping a highschool teenager and a car full of elderly people in order to test Chainsaw Man's ability to be a "superhero." It shows little regard for other devils, paying no notice when it accidently killed the Bat Devil.

## Plot

### Justice Devil arc

At some point, the Cockroach Devil got into a fight with Chainsaw Man. In the midst of their battle, they accidently killed the Bat Devil, saving Asa Mitaka and Yuko. After their battle continued to rage across the city, Denji chose to quickly kill the Cockroach Devil instead of saving bystanders, and instead saved a cat. Their battle was covered on the news.

## Abilities

As a Devil, the Cockroach Devil possesses all of the standard devil abilities. As the fear of cockroaches is considerably common, it is presumably very strong devil. However, it did not show any unique abilities.

### Physical Prowess

* **Enhanced Strength**: The Cockroach Devil killed the Bat Devil just by landing on him at high speeds. He is able to throw Denji around the city with ease and destroy large buildings with a barrage of punches.
* **Enhanced Speed**: The Cockroach Devil, in its battle with Denji, was able to rapidly attack with a flurry of unrelenting punches.
* **Enhanced Durability**: The Cockroach Devil was able to survive multiple hits from Denji, even after getting thrown into buildings with enough force to partially destroy them.
Chapter 29

## Chapter Chronology

**Perfect Score** (100点 (てん) 満 (まん) 点 (てん) , *Hyaku-ten Manten*?) is the 29th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Awakening in a hospital bed, Aki turns to see Denji and Power at his bedside, reading manga and arguing over apples. Aki asks who of the 4th Division survived, with Denji responding that only Kobeni and Madoka made it. Denji and Power then turn to leave, as they were summoned by Makima. However, noting Aki's quiet despondence, Denji leaves him an apple.

Now alone in his room, Aki unsheaths the Curse Sword, and asks the Curse Devil how long he has to live. It responds "Two Years". Aki picks up a cigarette, however remembering Himeno, he drops it and breaks down crying.

Outside the room, Denji looks through the window, hoping to collect the manga he'd left in there. He begins to walk away, before suddenly realizing that despite his attachment to Himeno, her death has not caused him to cry or feel any real sadness. He thinks back to the sadness he felt after Pochita's death, and realizes that neither Power nor Aki's deaths would make him cry. He thinks that even if Makima were to die, though he would be depressed for a short while, he would get over it surprisingly quickly. Troubled by these thoughts, he wonders if giving his heart to a Devil truly robbed him of his humanity.

Resolving not to think about such depressing topics, he and Power leave to meet with Makima. As they do, Tendo and Kurose enter Aki's room to instructs him regarding the changes to the 4th Division. Meanwhile, Makima explains to Denji and Power that the bureau believes enemy forces are targetting Denji specifically. As such, they have prepared a training course for the two of them. She begins to introduce them to Kishibe, but is interrupted by him. He asks them of their thoughts when their comrades died, to which they state they felt nothing. He then asks of if they desire revenge, which they both rebuff. Lastly, he asks whether they're loyal to humans or devils, to which they both respond whomever will give them the best deal. Kishibe expresses satisfaction with their responses.

Kishibe steps forward, and puts his arms around Denji and Powers' shoulders, stating their training has started. Makima turns to leave, as Kishibe explains he is a Devil Hunter working with the 'Special 1st Division', and asks they call him 'Master'. He then informs the pair that he enjoys booze, women, and killing Devils, before he begins to calmly choke the two of them, snapping their necks.

## Chapter Chronology

## Summary

Katana Man and Denji, still in combat, continue falling. As Denji is pushed away, he falls and lands atop a moving train. Re-adjusting, he is able to block an attack from the still-falling Katana Man, which sends them crashing into a crowded carriage.

As floods of passengers flee, a voice-over announces the train is coming to an emergency stop. Denji notices a remaining passenger- an injured young woman- lying on the floor. As Katana Man launches an attack, Denji blocks it, protecting the woman but losing an arm. The woman runs away, as Denji angrily shouts they "Should Ban That Move!".

Katana Man attacks again, slicing off Denji's other arm. He demands that as Denji can no longer fight, he should apologize for killing the Old Man and accept death. Denji refuses, stating that as as long as he has the chainsaw on his head, he cans still fight. The two clash again, however the impact causes the blade of Denji's head-chainsaw to shatter. Katana Man again demands an apology in return for a swift-death, however Denji reveals that Katana Man was so distracted with anger that he didn't notice being sliced in half by Denji. Katana Man, now revealed to have been split vertically, reacts with a moment of surprise, before his body completely falls apart into a mass of blood and organs. Watching, Denji repeats the words told to him by Kishibe: "Prey Should Never Trust What A Hunter Says".

Chapter 70

## Chapter Chronology

**Pinch** (摘 (つ) む, *Tsumu*?) is the 70th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

As Denji heals himself with a doll's blood, Santa Claus begins threatening him, revealing she has armies of dolls stationed across the planet and, along with the power of the Darkness Devil, will be able to hunt him and everyone he cares about forever. Denji cockily reminds her of his immortality, before he is suddenly decapitated by Quanxi. Quanxi asks Cosmo, who had been wandering around the city on her own throughout the majority of events, to use her powers on Santa Claus.

Within her own mind, Santa Claus suddenly awakens, standing inside an endless library. She sees Cosmo sitting at a nearby table, and comments on the futility of using psychological attacks against her due to her mind being linked to dolls across the globe. Cosmo, looking up, introduces herself as the Cosmos Fiend, before explaining the extent of her power: The ability to grant individuals total and complete understanding of everything in the universe; a process so overwhelming that the user/victim is forced into a semi-conscious state, only able to process the word Halloween until their death. As Santa Claus suddenly finds herself falling through the library, her body is shown in the real world, crumpling to dust as it mutters the word "Halloween" over and over.

Yoshida and Kishibe suddenly arrive, as Quanxi turns to fight them. Silently, the two put on blindfolds, as Makima emerges from between them, holding a sword. Instantly, Quanxi surrenders, offering Makima anything in return for sparing the lives of Cosmo and Tsugihagi. Makima ignores their pleas, before decapitating them. Elsewhere, a news anchor reports on the dolls stationed throughout the world, who have all been locked into saying "Halloween" as a result of the Cosmos Fiend's power. Amongst them, Aldo is seen, also shuffling around and repeating "Halloween", with pain in his eyes. Back at the main location, Yoshida removes his blindfold. Questioning why Kishibe doesn't do the same, he responds that he "[Doesn't] Want To See a Thing".

## Summary

Denji cuts off the Bat Devil's arm, and the two crash through a building. Denji yells at a bystander to run away before she is eaten, causing the Bat Devil to ask why Denji would let a human get away when he is a devil too. Denji doesn't ignores him, and punches him, yelling he will open him up and touch those boobs.

He throws the car back at the Bat Devil, who in retaliation uses a sonar ability that destroys the entire building behind Denji. The Bat Devil is about to eat the man who was in the car when Denji comes out from the rubble of the building.

## Chapter Chronology

**Food Fight** (ぐちゃぐちゃファイト, *Guchagucha Faito*?) is the 126th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

The fight between the Falling Devil and Denji continues, with the Falling Devil regenerating and sending Denji flying into a nearby building with a powerful kick. She tries to reason with him, saying that she won't kill any more humans besides Asa, and as such, they should stop fighting. Upon hearing this, Denji receives extra motivation to fight, telling her to keep her hands off his "ex-potential girlfriend." The Falling Devil stops his attack mid-air with just her finger and orders him to "fall", which forces Denji into reliving the trauma of Aki's and Power's deaths.

With Denji falling into the sky, the Falling Devil prepares to resume her pursuit of Asa, but Denji attacks her again, tearing her in half. He reveals to have cut up his brain rendering himself temporarily incapable of cognitive function, thus resistant to mental attacks. He starts imagining the Falling Devil as a French corndog and starts eating her. The Falling Devil lets him partially eat her, then regenerates inside him, ripping him in half. Denji finally runs out of blood and is unable to regenerate any further. With Denji now dealt with, she continues her pursuit of Asa. A mysterious figure appears next to Denji. They cut open the palm of their hand and heal Denji with their blood. Meanwhile, to Asa's shock and horror, the Falling Devil has found her.

Chapter 131

## Chapter Chronology

**Taste of Crap** (糞 (クソ) の味 (あじ) , *Kuso no Aji*?) is the 131st Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

As Denji and Asa are heading towards the Justice Devil's mouth, Denji tries to steer them out of the way, only for Falling Devil to force them inside, right after she remarks that food shouldn't be able to run. She asks the Justice Devil how they find the taste of humans that were steeped in fear, only for the latter to vomit, regurgitating both Asa and Denji. Crying tears of blood, Falling Devil yells at the Justice Devil, claiming she "made the meal with love" before executing it with a blast of energy.

Heading away from the wreckage, Falling Devil apologises to Fami, revealing that the plan for Asa to be consumed was the latter's idea. Fami orders her to return, causing her to burst into flames and transform into a miniature effigy of her initial appearance. Nayuta is also revealed to be present, with Fami noting that she was the one to cause the Justice Devil to throw up by making it believe that humans taste like actual crap. Nayuta asks why her sister is targeting Asa and Denji, to which Fami reveals that the prophecy is only going to lead to the world being overrun with Devils. Initially, Nayuta seems to be on board with the idea, however Fami states that she wants to save the world in order to preserve her favourite foods. Fearing that pizza would cease to exist if the prophecy came true, Nayuta immediately switches sides.

Fami remarks that whilst the prophecy itself will come true regardless of what they do, she does believe that they could make the prophecy revolve around the War Devil instead. Nayuta points out that she just tried to have Asa consumed just a moment ago, to which Fami says that she only did so in order to starve the War Devil, as she is able to control those who are experiencing hunger. She offers Nayuta an alliance, whom swiftly denies it because she wants to go to school instead.

## Chapter Chronology

**Katana vs. Chainsaw** (日 (に) 本 (ほん) 刀 (とう) VS (バーサス) チェンソー, *Nihontō Bāsasu Chensō*?) is the 36th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Denji and Power arrive in the headquarters using an elevator. Power begins chomping on a severed zombified hand, disgusting Denji and causing the two to scuffle. As they argue, the elevator doors open, revealing a swarm of zombies in front of them.

Due to the zombies not noticing them, Denji recommends they stay quiet and utilise the element of suprise. Power, however, begins to yell loudly, challenging the zombies to combat. Power bravely steps forward and begins fighting, as a bewildered and annoyed Denji remains in the elevator. Believing Denji is still watching her, Power easily slashes her way through dozens of hulking zombies, boasting that she is "The Strongest There Is".

As Denji's elevator arrives on a higher floor, he prepares to pull his chainsaw cord. The doors open, and he sees Katana Man, alongside a pair of Gun-Agents. Katana Man asks him to pause, so he can ask a few questions. He explains the groups desire for compensation over the Old Man's death, with Denji frustratedly explaining that the Old Man was zombified when he killed him. Katana Man asks whether Denji truly felt nothing when killing the zombies, reminding him they used to be humans. Denji repeats he felt nothing. Katana Man then reveals that despite giving his heart to a Devil, like Denji, he still feels guilt over killing zombies, explaining that Denji is the only Devil-Human hybrid without a sense of conscience. He requests Denji accept death as a form of mercy-killing, but Denji casually responds he "Don't Wanna". An irritated Katana Man begins to transform.

The two, now transformed, crash through a wall together, and begin falling towards the streets below, blades clashing in combat.

## Chapter Chronology

**A Curse and a First** (呪 (のろ) いと初 (はじ) めて, *Noroi to Hajimete*?) is the 56th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

The group all wait within a burger restaurant, as Denji and Power eat. Power offers Denji her vegetables, however Kusakabe interrupts, ordering her to finish them for her health. The others agree, as Denji forces them into her mouth. Power begins to sweat, choking down vomit. In the fervor, the woman from the forest walks past the table.

Power, in frustration, runs outside, as the rest decide to follow. The woman sits at a table with Tolka, revealing she stabbed Denji with a nail three times in order to invoke the Curse Devil, and that only one more poke is required. She entrusts the final poke to Tolka, as she begins to eat a burger. Though she struggles due to her numb hand and weak senses, she is delighted by the experience.

Elsewhere, Violence Fiend and Kobeni walk outside, as she thanks him for purchasing her an ice cream cone. Questioning his role as the Violence Fiend - given his friendliness - he explains that he still has a lot of his human brain, meaning he still holds a lot of early memories. However, he has no memories of his death, only that he was saved by Makima. Suddenly, a car pulls up besides them, and Sato - disguised as Kurose - gets out. He yells at the two to report Tendo and Subaru's deaths, before quietly commenting on their gullibility.

Later, Denji and Power sit, exhausted after a day of constant movement. Denji bitterly comments that rather than being protected, he is being used as bait to draw out the threats, which Aki confirms. He promises Denji his trip, calming him, however Power is still furious. Aki promises her one reward for her cooperation, with her requesting to drain a human of their blood to the point they die. Aki pauses, and then agrees to let her drain Denji. Denji protests, but is quickly silenced by Power jumping on his shoulders and shouting "Wooo-Hoooo!!"

Chapter 145

## Chapter Chronology

**Kumbaya** (クンバヤ, *Kunbaya*?) is the 145th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

A member of Public Safety reports in that all Chainsaw Man Church chapters in Japan had been captured, and that they’ve seized their weapons. The man then orders the creation of a victim group for the parents of the minors who were part of the Church, and to then call in the media to exploit the situation. The man then authorises the capture of the *War Devil A.K.A. Asa Mitaka*, before admitting he hoped she’d have been able to turn Chainsaw Man into a weapon. A lower-ranking member then tells him the Devil Name Consultant wanted to speak with him, before asking what the Church’s plan was. The man guesses that they just wanted to play being Chainsaw Man.

Public Safety are then shown arresting Barem, revealed to be the second-in-command of the Church. Fumiko then asks why shouldn’t he just join Public Safety; after all, they already have Quanxi and Katana Man. Instead of answering, he requests a moment of silence to collect his thoughts; it’s sunset, his favourite time of day.

The Public Safety higher-up from earlier is then shown talking with another figure; the Name Consultant, who reveals that they identified Falling Devil's client as the real Justice Devil. The higher-up asks if it’s not a different Devil instead, but the consultant insists that the Devil is in fact Justice. The consultant then asks whether or not the cultists attributed their contracts to the Justice Devil despite the devil's death, to which the higher-up confirms this to be the case; a cultist was able to become the "Justice" Devil post-Church raid. The consultant then reveals that this means the Devil that has been claiming itself to be the Justice Devil, and the true Justice Devil, aren't one and the same.

Asa and Yoru are watching a live broadcast of the Church’s Okinawa chapter being raided, with the former shocked to learn about the Church's stockpile of illegal weaponry. Both of them hear a knock on the door, followed by an order to surrender, though Asa reveals she has a plan. As the apartment they’re in belongs to her, she can turn it into a weapon, before asking that Yoru takes control of her body afterwards. Impressed, the War Devil compliments her “wild” behaviour, though Asa says it’s her fault she became this way. Asa gets into position and attempts to transform her apartment into a weapon, but before she can finish, a Public Safety agent breaks down her door and charges her.

As the sun finally sets, Barem is then shown singing Kumbaya, praying to God as he’s being arrested. Denji tells Nayuta he’s going to take her home, with Fumiko offering to drop them off. Next we’re then shown that the Public Safety agent that Asa's facing is in fact Yoshida, who managed to slice one of her arms off.

## Summary

Yuko came to tell Asa she's leaving to find her Devil Hunter relative who she thinks can heal her, and only stopped by to say goodbye to her, and to warn her that the Justice Devil is still at the school. As a parting gift Asa gives Yuko her shoes, mirroring the kindness she showed to her when they first met.

Yuko leaves, and while Denji, Nayuta, Asa, and Asa's freckled classmate sleep, Yuko is beheaded by a figure with a silhouette resembling Chainsaw Man.

## Chapter Chronology

**Between Cat and Criminal** (猫 (ねこ) と犯 (はん) 罪 (ざい) 者 (しゃ) の間 (あいだ) , *Neko to Hanzai-sha no Aida*?) is the 112th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Asa and Yoru visit the partially destroyed school. They witness the remains of Asa's uniform sword. Asa asks Yoru if she knows the woman who revived Yuko, but Yoru says no and passes it off as the girl being a madwoman. They then come across the girl with members of the Student Council/Devil Hunter Club. Haruka Iseumi, the club's president, introduces himself to Asa. He tells Asa that she is accepted into the club. Yoru takes over and asks Haruka if he knows Chainsaw Man's identity. Haruka reveals a pull-cord sticking out of his chest; believing he is Chainsaw Man, Yoru walks away. Asa is skeptical that he is actually Chainsaw Man, while Yoru acknowledges she is too weak to fight Chainsaw Man.

Yoru asks Asa to create a weapon that is even stronger than her uniform sword. Asa says she is now willing to turn a human into a weapon if it means that Yoru will leave her body so she won't ruin other people's lives as a result of Yoru's presence. Asa wants to turn a criminal into a weapon, but Yoru says it would not be powerful because Asa would not feel any guilt using a criminal. Yoru suggests that the most powerful weapon would be the line in the middle of killing a cat and killing a criminal.

Asa spots Denji, who is picking used cigarette butts off the ground. She thinks that she misjudged Denji in their earlier interaction when she spies him passing off the used cigarettes as new and selling them to homeless people. Asa realizes Denji is right in the middle between a criminal and a cat, not so bad that he deserves to die but would be willing enough to turn him into a weapon. Yoru convinces Asa that killing Denji would be the necessary evil to defeat Chainsaw Man. Asa confronts Denji, but Denji is aggressive to her because of how she treated him before. Asa asks Denji on a date, and he reluctantly says yes.

## Summary

Yoru turns Yuko's leg into a sword. She asks Denji if he remembers her, but Denji only pays attention to her half-naked body. The girl Denji saves gets up and is repulsed by Denji, believing he is going to eat her. Denji suggests showing her his human form while Yoru attacks from behind. Yoshida nabs Denji with the Octopus Devil. Denji is angered that he wasn't able to do his "natural reveal" while Yoru is infuriated, thinking Denji thought she wasn't worth his time.

A network of high school students converse by phone, remarking on Yuko was bullied in middle school and how the weak are susceptible to being tricked by Devils. Asa has a dream of a ground littered with dead chickens, and as they multiply a darkness arrives and she wakes up. Her doorbell rings, despite it being 1:25 in the morning. It is Yuko, who says she has been turned into a Devil and may try to eat Asa, so she should not open the door. Asa opens the door anyways and sees Yuko's horribly mutated new form.

Chapter 88

## Chapter Chronology

**Star Chainsaw** (スターチェンソー, *Sutā Chensō*?) is the 88th Chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga.

## Summary

Standing on the floor below Chainsaw Man, Barem fires into the ceiling, causing a massive explosion to burst through the building. As Chainsaw Man leaps backwards to safety onto another building, the Whip Hybrid appears, and slashes into him. Her attacks seem to have little impact, however, as Reze blasts through the building and grabs Chainsaw Man, carrying him into the sky.

Flipping midair, Chainsaw Man decapitates Reze, before he is impaled by a spear thrown by the Spear Hybrid. Stunned in the air, Makima takes the momentary daze to blast Chainsaw Man, repeatedly pointing at him and stating 'Bang', as each hit launches him further into the sky. As Chainsaw Man is pushed out of the atmosphere and into space, Makima comments on an attempt to make him suffocate. Reaching inside of himself, Chainsaw Man rips out his own heart, and flings it towards the ground.

As the heart begins to burn up upon re-entry to the atmosphere, Chainsaw Man's body begins to reform around it, until it is fully formed. Still falling, Chainsaw Man launches out his chains across the city, grappling onto Makima and Barem, the Whip, and Spear hybrids. Hoisting them into the air, they each express a moment of shock, before they too are torn apart by Pochita's chainsaws.

Chapter 118

## Chapter Chronology

**Saying Goodbye** (別 (わか) れの挨 (あい) 拶 (さつ) , *Wakare no Aisatsu*?) is the 118th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

The attempt at turning Denji into a weapon turned out to be a complete failure, with Denji being confused by Yoru calling out "Denji Spinal Cord Sword." She tries several other times to transform Denji to no affect, with the boy grabbing her head in return and shouting "Asa Spinal Cord Sword," assuming that it was just a fun way to say goodbye, much to her bewilderment. Asa berates Yoru about trying to transform him into a weapon, with Yoru stating that it should've worked since the two of them hit it off so well. Asa assumes that it didn't work because she believes transforming a living person requires said other person to reciprocate her feelings, likely coming to that conclusion since Tanaka held feelings for her.

Yoru remarks that due to how little sleep they got in the aquarium, she is going to bed. Asa asks about who Fami was, to which Yoru responds that she is the Famine Devil, and it had been such a long time since they last met that she couldn't recognise her, suggesting this is a different incarnation to the one she's familiar with. Yoru advises to stay clear from her due to her craziness, but before Asa could ask why, Yoru passes out. She tries to wake the sleeping devil but to no avail, leaving her to think about Denji, growing more and more irritated at him for seemingly not reciprocating her feelings despite all they did.

The next day, Denji suggests he and Asa attend the local movie theatre's all-night mummy movie marathon for only ¥2000. Asa, still annoyed at him, remarks that it was too expensive for her, and that video rentals would be cheaper. Denji asks if she has a VCR at her place, which she says she doesn't. She asks him if he does and he replies that he does, to which Asa remarks that the date should be held at his place then. Denji is shocked that she wants to come over, with Asa saying that they can always call off the date if he can't do it. He eventually relents, saying that she can come to his house, albeit on the condition that she follows the house rules, ones that she cannot break in the slightest. Asa asks what would happen if she did, to which Denji says that she'd die in the worst case scenario. Asa seems unconvinced, but a nearby Haruka is shown spying on them from a distance, likely still curious about Asa's powers and fully believing Denji's words.

Chapter 127

## Chapter Chronology

**Save the Asa** (セーブザアサ, *Sēbu za Asa*?) is the 127th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Gripping onto a loose exhaust fan cover, Asa is holding on for dear life, only for Falling Devil to grab ahold of her head. She begins to tell Asa that she knows that she’s more scared of the pain caused by falling to her death, rather than dying itself, and promises Asa a peaceful and painless fall if she closes her eyes. Thinking about the past injustices in her life - such as her former caretaker murdering her cat, as well as Yuko turning into a devil - she accepts the Falling Devil's offer and lets go. While all this is happening Yoru screams in panic, helpless to do anything.

As she falls, she admits that Falling Devil was telling the truth, and that now she no longer has to worry about hurting others or being hurt anymore. She then laments that she wish she had some form of companionship, even if it were with just one person, only for her thoughts to be interrupted by Denji, as Chainsaw Man, jumping up to rescue her.

Asa pleads to Chainsaw Man to let her go, reiterating her nihilistic worldview of how life is full of suffering. Denji initially agrees, but as soon as he notices that the negativity is causing her to raise upwards, he tries to overload her thoughts with those of dogs, cats and ice-cream. Soon, the two have stopped floating upward, though Asa, still clearly affected by Crambon's death, asks Chainsaw Man what he would know about grief, only for him to remark how he's familiar with the feeling; as soon as things start looking like they're only going well, a calamity occurs that makes life seem like it's not worth living. Asa begins to cheer up as Denji continues speaking, stating that some days are just drowned out with negativity. Asa asks him how he's able to overcome such negativity, to which he admits he hasn't, but he's able to look past the "crapburger" because he has a desire worth fighting for. Asa asks what that desire is, to which Denji enthusiastically replies that it's sex. Still in tears, Asa reacts with disgust.

## Chapter Chronology

**Afterschool Devil Hunters** (放 (ほう) 課 (か) 後 (ご) デビルハンター, *Hōkago Debiru Hantā*?) is the 101st Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

The next day, Yuko and Asa walk to the city hunting devils while discussing things about them. They reveal to each other that both their parents were killed by devils, which excites Yuko and makes her think the two of them are like devil hunting avengers in a manga series. Yuko leaves for a moment, and in her absence, the War Devil tells Asa that she should kill her new friend. The more attached she is to someone she kills and turns into a weapon, the stronger the weapon becomes.

Asa refuses, and tries to change the subject to the War Devil always calling her "girl." She insists that the War Devil call her by her own name, and so in return, the War Devil makes her call it "Yoru." Yoru decides to drop the subject for now, as the closer she gets to Yuko the stronger she will be anyhow.

Yuko returns and the two of them wander around the city attempting to locate a devil, when they suddenly come across a large grotesque one attacking people in a building. As it attacks people, a politician on the streets barks about how devils are at war with humans.

Asa sees the devil in front of her, but Yoru warns her not to get close. She is not able to take on the devil at this time, and in other bad news, Yoru isn't able to take over Asa's body when she is stricken with fear. After being noticed, Yoru warns Asa to walk away slowly and calm down, but Asa and Yuko run away desperately.

## Summary

Aki's fantasy of playing snowballs with Denji continue.

In the real world, Aki continues his onslaught, repeatedly blasting Denji backward. Denji attempts to defend himself, but unwilling to hurt Aki, is forced to simply beg him to "Turn Back".

After being blasted back and losing an arm and both legs, Denji lies crippled in the ruins of a building. Slowly, a crowd of onlookers gather around, before they each give Denji blood and beg him to defeat Aki and save them.

In Aki's fantasy, Denji begins throwing snowballs back. Though Aki is excited by this, he quickly notices Denji is crying. In order to stop this, Aki admits defeat. When he looks back, he notices Denji is gone, replaced by his younger brother Taiyo.

In the real world, it is revealed that in order to stop his onslaught, Denji stabbed Aki with his chainsaws, killing him. As Denji returns to his human form in shock, the Future Devil appears and laughs, commenting on how Aki "Died in the worst way possible... For the Chainsaw Boy".

Chapter 144

## Chapter Chronology

**Guns, Nails, Katana** (銃・釘・刀, *Jū, Kugi, Katana*?) is the 144th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

As Nobana and the other students arm themselves with guns, the old man who talked with Haruka says that the weapons were granted to them by Chainsaw Man himself. His words rile the students up, unaware that a police officer standing outside has directed Special Division 7 to enter. Soon enough, a Fiend bursts into the room, remarking how the majority of the cult is comprised of children, before stating that they shouldn't be holding guns. As the old man orders the students to fire, they rush forth and nails each student to the wall by their clothing, immobilising them. The Fiend looks at one student and asks him to promise that the cultists focus on studying from that point onwards. However, as soon as they hear the student's indifferent reply, the Fiend slams their hammer into his head, causing the other students to scream.

The old man remarks how he despises Public Safety for selling their souls to Devils, and that the only appropriate counter-measure would be to fight fire with fire and become a Devil himself. Becoming another host of the Justice Devil, he attempts to strike at the Fiend, only for them to comment about the arrogance of humans. Right as he announces that he's delivering "Chainsaw Man's justice," he is struck down by Katana Man, who is still clearly irate about his previous encounter with Chainsaw Man.

Chapter 133

## Chapter Chronology

**Chainsaw Man Protest** (チェンソーマンデモ, *Chensōman Demo*?) is the 133rd Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Seated alongside a group of clashing protestors, Yoshida explains one group of protesters are demanding that the Chainsaw Devil be treated as if he were another Devil and be put down, whilst the other group are members of the Chainsaw Man Church. Denji remarks that it feels somewhat nice that people are fighting over him, before Yoshida explains that whilst the Church initially started off consisting solely of diehard fans and devil victims, it now mostly comprises of high schoolers who don't know any better. Furthermore, as the students are soon eligible for voting, politicians have started funding the church for their own gain, with Yoshida stating that Denji no longer fully controls his own image. To prevent the likelihood of a widespread riot, he offers Denji an ultimatum; live life as a civilian, or have Nayuta executed.

Yoshida tries to coax Denji into the former by remarking how an ordinary life was all he ever wanted, and nothing about his civilian life will change. Denji refuses, saying that he wants to have it both ways, as by being Chainsaw Man, people pay attention to him. Yoshida reiterates that Public Safety would execute Nayuta if he refused, with Denji reiterating that he likes having protestors fight each other in his name. As Yoshida continues to try and warn him, Denji tries to get his fans to kill Yoshida for him, only to hear Nayuta call out from the crowd. As the two embrace, Yoshida reprimands Nayuta's handler for revealing her too early, before telling Denji that he was about to let him go. Hearing the threat to her life, Nayuta asks Denji to tell them to fuck off, with the two of them leaving immediately after, leaving Yoshida to wonder if Denji understood what he meant.
