Power remembers who she met Meowy and named the cat. As it looked skinny, but tasty, Power decided to fatten it and gave her cow milk. In time Meowy and Power started to get attached to each other, making Power feel strange as she otherwise had killed everything she met. The Bat Devil then appeared and took Meowy and told Power to bring him blood, or he will kill Meowy.

Seeing Meowy eaten, Power turns to Denji and tells him that she now know how awful it feels to not be able to pet your pet, like he can't pet Pochita. The Bat Devil then picks her up and swallows her too. As he doesn't like her taste too, he decides to go eat some children. While the devil fly towards the city and imagines what he will be eating, he notices that Denji is clinging on his leg and drinks his blood. Denji recalls how one time he lost Pochita and thought it may have been eaten by a devil, but as he found him he was releaved and fell asleep on the spot.

Miri and the Whip Hybrid both charge at Denji, who fends them off with his chainsaws. However, Denji is caught offguard by the Spear Hybrid pinning him down from above. Despite this, Denji bisects both of them and proceeds to consume the Spear Hybrid to regenerate his wounds, shocking everyone around the area.

Horrified by this, the Whip Hybrid tries striking Denji down with a whiplash but he swiftly dodges this attack. He then cuts off the Whip Hybrid's left leg before delivering a brutal beatdown by repeatedly slamming his chainsaws into her body.

## Summary

Various citizens are interviewed by a news outlet about Chainsaw Man, to mixed reactions: some are enthusiastic about Chainsaw Man, talking about how cool he looks and how he saves the lives of others. Others on the other hand doubt his intentions, giving reasons such as getting rid of jobs for Demon Hunters, claiming that he's an American psyop, that he's too destructive, that he's too popular, or that he eats people and pets. Denji is among the citizens being interviewed and attempts to make Chainsaw Man look better, all the while nobody recognizes he is who they are talking about. Denji's interview is cut short when he tries to give his phone number to the interviewer, as a girl around Denji's age who was interviewed prior wanted Chainsaw Man to do so.

Hirofumi Yoshida arrives, but Denji does not recognize him. They visit a cafe, where Denji reveals that despite his slaying work, he's fairly low on cash. Yoshida then reveals that he goes to the same high school as Denji, and that he is part of an organization seeking to protect Denji from having his secret identity revealed to the public. Denji tells Yoshida that he wants his identity to be revealed because it will get him more ladies, to Yoshida's utter bewilderment.

## Chapter Chronology

## Summary

Denji has another nightmare of standing in front of the door, hearing Pochita order him to never open it. The next morning, at breakfast, Denji sits despondently as Power complains about Meowy's newfound love of him. Denji ignores her, thinking of how Aki's coffee reminds him of Reze, and how his heart was truly and irreversibly broken by her. His attitude changes completely, however, when Makima later invites them all on a paid vacation with her, causing Denji to jump with joy. Aki and Denji instantly agree, whilst Power tries to come up with an excuse.

As they discuss timing for the trip, a swarm of Devil Hunters enter the room. After conferring with Makima, she shows the group a news recording of the fight against Reze, explaining the bureau had failed to censor the broadcast, and as such the Chainsaw Man's existence had been revealed to the world. Power and Denji ignore this, still discussing the vacation, but they are interrupted by Makima who explains the vacation was a ruse to explain their absence, and in reality they are being put under protection in order to avoid assassination by foreign threats. Denji reacts with horror, as he realizes he is going to be restricted and contained for some time.

Makima asks Aki to be part of Denji's protection, before telling him they plan to hunt the Gun Devil in the next year and orders him not to die before it. Aki thinks back to a conversation he had with Angel Devil, who elaborated on the nature of Devils: When a Devil dies, they are revived within Hell. Once they die there, they return to the Earth, with no memories of Hell. He then reveals a secret he asks never to be repeated- That all Devil's remember a single sound from moments before they die in Hell: The sound of Denji's Chainsaw.

Meanwhile, in America, a trio of part-time Devil Hunters sit and discuss their new job: Killing Denji and returning his body to the US in exchange for $2 million. The youngest man, Aldo, expresses fear of dying, however is talked down by the other two, reminding him that the three of them- all brothers- survived the Gun Demon's onslaught. As they prepare to leave for Japan, the leader, Sato, refers to themselves as "Immortal".

## Chapter Chronology

**Kaboom Kaboom Kaboom** (ボンボンボン, *Bon Bon Bon*?) is the 48th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Entering combat, Reze immediately erupts, destroying the truck her and Denji were standing on. Being knocked backward into a building, Denji is punched by Reze, and is flung back further. Reze chastises him, commenting that merely attacking without thought is useless and he need to utilise his powers more effectively. Proving her point, Reze reveals she allowed Denji to slice off one of her fingers, which is now caught on Denji's chains, and causes the severed finger to explode.

As Reze looks into the cloud of smoke left by the blast, Denji leaps out and attempts to attack her. However Reze's reflexes prove too quick, as she blasts the pair into the sky. Moving through the air, Reze transforms her leg into a missile, launching the two back to the ground and tearing Denji's torso apart. As blood-covered civilians look on, Reze picks up Deni's severed torso and blasts it, rendering it into a smoldering mass.

As Reze moves through the ruined building, she steps over corpses, leaving behind a number of injured survivors. It is then revealed Aki is hiding among the bodies, pretending to be dead. As Reze moves past him, he quickly stands up and slices off her arm, causing her to drop Denji.

## Summary

Kishibe and Yoshida sit outside, finishing off the remaining Dolls. They discuss Makima, and acknowledge that she has some ulterior motivation to her actions beyond that of the bureau. As Kishibe asks whether she can hear them, Yoshida explains that she can only borrow the ears of lower life-forms, such as rats or birds.

On the rooftop, Denji slices through Santa Claus's arm, angrily yelling about her placing Power and the others in danger. Moving through a shadow, Santa Claus is able to instantaneously heal herself, as she blasts Denji through the floor. Denji lunges at her, however is knocked back by another swarm of Dolls. Tsugihagi looks on, clutching Quanxi's severed head. Removing Quanxi's eye-patch and reaching inside the socket, she yanks out a long arrow, before dropping the head into the swarm attacking Denji. The dolls are suddenly torn apart, as Quanxi appears, revived in her Hybrid-form. Quanxi agrees to fight alongside Denji in order to avenge Long and Pingtsi, before vanishing suddenly.

In a nearby alleyway, Quanxi appears in front of Santa Claus, blasting her with powerful bolts. Just as quickly as she is torn apart, however, she heals herself, as she congratulates Quanxi on her moniker as the 'First Devil Hunter'. Wondering how to attack Quanxi, whom is moving at speeds she cannot register, Santa Claus suddenly returns the humanity to her dolls, restoring their minds whilst forcing them to continue the assault. As Denji stares at the now frightened and screaming human-dolls charging towards him, he exasperatedly shouts "That's Some Real Villain Shit Right There!".

Kishibe explains that he is the strongest Devil Hunter, and as such believes that in order to truly train the two of them, they need to reach a point where they can beat him in a confrontation. Denji and Power move towards him, preparing to fight. However, Kishibe swiftly stabs Denji in the head and back, before slitting Power's throat. He comments on their inhuman intuition to try and attack him without a moment of hesitation. He states that since he was a child, he'd always hoped for a "Toy That Wouldn't Break", before promising to turn the pair into "The Baddest of Badasses".

Meanwhile, in his hospital bed, Aki is surprised to find he is unable to summon the Fox Devil with "Kon". Kurose remarks that the Devil is likely angry for being injured by Katana Man, and as such is likely to never respond to him again. Tendo asks of Aki's lifespan after using the Curse Devil, but he interrupts and asks of their intentions. They reveal that due to the worsening of the Devil crisis and massive losses of the organization, the bureau intend to request he makes a deal with a massively powerful Devil to help gain an advantage. They then give him the choice to quit and live a more peaceful life, however he refuses, seeking revenge against the Gun Devil for killing his family, and the Gun-Agents for killing Himeno. As Kurose and Tendo leave, an unseen woman enters, surprising Aki.

That night, Kishibe decides to stop the training so he can go home and sleep. Denji collapses from exhaustion, as Power gives him some blood to heal him. The pair walk home, bloodied and battered. Power comments on how Denji likely died 20 times, and she was knocked unconscious the same amount. The two consider running away, with Denji noting that fighting without enjoying himself is "the worst". Suddenly, Power suggests that rather than using brute force, they try to outsmart Kishibe, causing the pair to grow excited and remark they feel "Smarter Already".

## Chapter Chronology

## Summary

Arriving at school, a depressed Denji is approached by a self-styled intellectual student at his locker. After noticing his Chainsaw Man t-shirt, the student berates him, telling him of the theory of how Asa is supposedly responsible for all of his recent heroics, before trying to guilt-trip him into saying that he's supporting a victimizer. Before Denji can respond, another student begins to threaten both him and the other student for insulting Chainsaw Man. Trying to gather his bearings, Denji tries to respond, before the second student hastily punches him. Later at the principal's office, Denji is shown being chastised by the principal, who assumed Denji started the fight due to growing up an orphan. As Denji leaves, the principal remarks that the other student was hospitalized by Denji's "attack."

Later, Denji meets with Yoshida, downplaying the brawl by saying the guy only lost a tooth. Yoshida writes off the fight as an ordinary high school occurrence, which is something he admits he's unfamiliar with as well. He decides to try and cheer Denji up by skipping class with him to visit the movie theatre. At the pictures, Yoshida remarks that they're not having too much fun, with Denji chastising him for talking whilst the movie is on. He then goes on to talk about how there's nobody else at the cinema due to there being an attack from a squid-like Devil, though thanks to the cinema's employed devil hunters, it only took two minutes for there to be respondents to the attack, with seemingly no casualties. He goes on to tell Denji that he's not like a film protagonist and that the world will move on without him regardless of what he does, before the two are interrupted by the entrance of a third person.

Yoshida reveals to Denji that he invited a fellow student who wanted to date him, before leaving the two alone and wishing him luck on the date. Denji asks him if what he experienced today was what it's like to be normal, and after considering it for a while, Yoshida says it is. As the girl sits beside him, Denji begins to ramble about how he's not feeling 100% due to his current circumstances, and that he just wants to be left alone, before being interrupted by his date rubbing his genitals through his clothing. The date is revealed to have an incredibly perverse and twisted expression that is seemingly frozen on her face. Denji, however, doesn't take notice, as he's more focused on the fact that she's groping him.

Sat in a classroom, Reze pretends to teach Denji simple nonsensical facts, such as '1 + 1 = 2' and how to write the phrase 'Big Ass' in English. Reze comments on Denji's lack of education, asking whether his life as a Devil Hunter is truly good for him. Denji responds that his job allows him three square meals and a bed, but Reze reminds him that those are the bare minimal acceptable living conditions. Noting Denji's growing unease, Reze suggests they go swimming.

By the outdoor pool, Reze strips naked. Denji admits he doesn't know how to swim, but instantly strips down naked as well, despite his internal worries of being faithful to Makima. Though filled with uncertainty, Denji eventually jumps in as Reze begins to show him how to swim. Eventually it begins raining, and the two return indoors. As they sit inside and watch the rain, Reze asks Denji if he'd rather be the 'City Mouse' or the 'Country Mouse'.

Meanwhile, Aki and Angel Devil are having the same conversation. Angel explains that the Country Mouse lives a safer yet less fulfilling life, whilst the City Mouse lives a more dangerous but more enjoyable life. Angel elaborates that he'd rather be a Country Mouse, however was brought by Makima to the city and forced to be a City Mouse.

At the same time, Denji concludes he'd rather be a City Mouse, as his only real desires are for food and entertainment, regardless of danger. Reze invites him to a food festival taking place the next day, before leaving to use the bathroom. After she's left, Denji quietly calls her "So Freakin' Cute" under his breath.

As she walks the corridor alone, Reze is approached by the scarred man, wielding a knife. At the same time, Denji begins to panic, as he realizes he now sees Reze standing alongside Makima when he closes his eyes.

As he skins the animal, she asks again, and again he says no. As he cooks it and serves it to her, she asks once more, and he again denies it. The woman then explains that they will go to Japan and do the same to a 16 year old boy- Denji. The man, referring to the woman as 'Master', agrees, hoping to earn the woman a retirement due to her short lifespan.

Meanwhile, in China, an orgy takes place between a woman- Quanxi- and her harem of Fiends. As they finish, a man arrives, requesting her to take the job of capturing Denji. As a reward, she can ask for any wish. After consulting her harem, she demands basic human rights and an education for them. At the same time, Makima discusses Quanxi with Kishibe, expressing concern over her and her harem's abilities. As they talk, Makima states that the biggest concern is that of the assassin Santa Claus, from Germany. Though he is thought to have died of old age, the two are still cautious, as Kishibe confirms his abilities could likely outmatch them. Elsewhere, in Germany, a government agent approaches an old man on a bench and informs him of the mission to hunt Denji. In return, the man asks for four children: 3 for Devil Contracts, and 1 for 'Pleasure'.

In his room, Denji lies watching TV, sadly wondering why his heart is so desired and why the trip was cancelled. Noting his sadness, Aki affectionately sits on him, and explains that the trip was merely postponed, not cancelled, and that if they are able to damage their opponents enough then the threats will retreat, allowing Denji to return to his life as normal. Denji, considering the idea, decides to kill all the enemies so he can have his vacation.

## Chapter Chronology

**Let's Go** (レッツゴー, *Rettsu Gō*?) is the 55th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

At a park, Denji and Power eat snacks and watch some birds, discussing whether it is okay to eat the still-living ducks. Denji accidentally drops his food, but as he goes to pick it up and eat it, he is stopped by a Devil Hunter- Kusakabe- and chastised. Kusakabe warns him of germs and food poisoning, but Denji grows more frustrated. Aki, Angel Devil, Yoshida and Tamaoki all agree that eating the food would be foolish, however Denji quickly gobbles it down anyway.

In a flashback, the group all introduce themselves. Makima explains to Denji that they, alongside another trio of agents, will be his personal security. Kusakabe attempts to express his authority to Denji, but is met with sarcasm and yawns. Elsewhere, the Hunters Michiko, Yutaro and Subaru all take a smoke break. Questioning why they cannot simply hide Denji in his human form, Subaru explains that the other Devils can smell him. As they drive to meet the main group, Subaru asks about Makima. Tendo hesitates, saying there's something they want to discuss regarding her. Before they can, a set of road spikes are thrown in front of the vehicle. The car swerves and crashes into a tree. In the wreckage, Subaru awakens just in time to see the three American Brothers outside the car, as they shoot the three Hunters dead. The elder two brothers crack jokes, however Aldo reacts with horror to the killing.

Hiding the bodies, Aldo vomits. Sato asks Joey his feelings on killing, with Joey stating his only response to be mild annoyance and disgust. Sato laughs, before changing his face to match Kurose's. The three then discuss Kurose's voice, as Sato shifts his tone and accent to match it.

As the flurry continues, Angel Devil is blasted back. Aki grabs his shirt, however begins to lose his grip on the signpost he is clutching. Angel Devil calls out for him, telling him to let go, as he has already accepted death. As Aki's loses his grip on Angel Devil's shirt, Angel Devil closes his eyes and thinks of a Young Woman from his past. Suddenly, Aki grabs Angel Devil's hand, and pulls him back to safety. Angel Devil angrily asks why Aki grabbed his hand, as doing so cost him 2-months of his life-span. Aki responds that if Angel Devil were to die, he'd rather it were done at a distance, as he has "Had Enough Of Watching People Die In Front Of My Eyes".

Chapter 116

## Chapter Chronology

**Taste of Starfish** (ヒトデの味 (あじ) , *Hitode no Aji*?) is the 116th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

With one of the club members watching them, Asa explains that most of the starfish in the aquarium aren't edible, and asks Denji if he's seriously going through with this idea. Denji points out how this is the only option since she can't eat fish, to which she relents. Asa notes however that raw starfish are toxic and need to be boiled. Denji leads her back to the common room and shows her a pot he found, and since he swiped the "glass licker", they now have a source of heat to boil them.

As they sit down to eat, Asa notes that there's a lot of school hats lying around, to which Denji reveals he planned on selling them. Asa asks why he seems so obsessed with money, causing Denji to reveal that he's saving up money so he could afford college tuition for a "sort of friend, sort of little sister" that's living with him, explaining that since he never had a normal life, he wanted her to grow up having one. Asa seems to have been moved by his words, and the two start to eat the starfish. Denji is repulsed by the taste, but Asa finishes hers and says that it isn't enough to satiate her hunger. She then notices the fish that Denji was preserving with salt, asking if she can try one, much to his confusion. Asa instantly gags, causing Denji to burst out laughing, saying that even though what she says bores the hell out of him, she’s fun to be around.

Inspired, she asks him to confirm what he said, to which Denji remarks that her newfound bravado reminds him of an old friend. Looking at the hats, Asa figures out a way out of the aquarium; by getting as much money as they can find. By walking through the hall, they manage to earn a total of a million yen. Asa asks Denji to hand it over, to which he initially refuses, but he relents the moment she offers him anything he wants in exchange. Remembering what Yoru said about how her powers work and what counts as "owning" something, Asa uses the million yen to "buy" the aquarium, so she can turn it into a spear.

As he lunges at her, she swiftly dodges his attack, swings onto his back, and begins choking him out with little effort. As he slowly dies, she sings a lullaby in Russian.

Standing up, Reze calmly looks down at the Typhoon Devil in a nearby drain. The Devil apologizes to her, calling her "Ms. Reze", as she promises to 'overlook' its accidents in return for removing the scarred man's corpse. Swiftly, she returns to Denji, with a smile on her face.

The next day, the two hang out at the festival. In the evening, they climb atop a hill to view the fireworks. Turning to him, Reze asks him to quit Devil Hunting and run away with her, promising to "Make [him] Happy" and "Protect [him]".

Chapter 19

## Chapter Chronology

**Nobel Prize** (ノーベル賞 (しょう) ,, *Nōberu-shō*?) is the 19th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

The Eternity Devil continues biting into Denji, resulting in Denji losing enough blood to retract his chainsaw arms. The Devil laughs, until it is interrupted by Denji biting it back, and regaining his chainsaws.

As Himeno looks on, she has a flashback of seeing Kishibe in a graveyard. He comments on how the best Devil Hunters are those with "a few screws loose", due to their lack of fear resulting in the Devils being weakened. Kishibe warns Himeno of Aki's genuine intention to defeat the Gun Devil, and recommends she train him as quickly as possible for such an eventuality. Troubled, she later offers Aki a relaxed position in the Civilian Sector, but he flat out refuses. Himeno thinks with certainty that the Gun Devil would kill Aki, however has a moment of hesitation.

In the present, Denji continues to tear into the Eternity Devil. Moments later, he collapses of exhaustion, as the Devil celebrates. However, Himeno uses the Ghost Devil to pull Denji's cord, reawakening him. Denji suddenly realizes that by drinking the blood of the Eternity Devil, he can quickly recover his wounds and stamina, meaning he can continue attacking indefinitely.

Three days later, now exhausted and weak, the group agree to go drinking upon their escape. As the Eternity Devil lays in tattered pieces, it reveals its heart to Denji, begging him to kill it and end its suffering. Denji obliges, commenting "What, it's over already?".
