Chapter 90

## Chapter Chronology

**Super Power** (超 (ちょう) パワー, *Chō Pawā*?) is the 90th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Power is shown sleeping on a mess of blood and guts, complaining as Pochita nudges her with his paw. She opens her eyes and turns her head towards Pochita, who tells her to wake up. Power asks who he is before quickly making the connection that he was Pochita, who she'd learned about through what Denji had told her about him. Pochita smiles at her realization before telling her that he wanted her to save Denji. He tells her that she wasn't truly dead, as she was currently the blood that Denji had drank from her before, and that if nothing was done she would soon disappear. Pochita asks for her to eat his flesh and revive as a devil. Power happily obliges.

Makima moves down to the ground where Chainsaw Man's body lay, with around a dozen members of Public Safety lined up behind her. Chainsaw Man begins to get up on his hands and knees, with blood continuing to spill from him as he points his head forwards, Power suddenly ejecting from his mouth in the form of the blood devil. Power laughs as she points towards Makima, with blood weapons suddenly pushing out from within the bodies of her and the Public Safety members.

Power yells out that she's the strongest as a bloodied Makima uses Angel's ability, creating a sword from 100 years as Power uses a move she calls "Thousand Tera Blood Rain", showering Makima with several dozen blood weapons as they shoot down from above. Power gloats and spouts nonsense as Makima is continually impaled, yelling out that Makima is trash, and that she herself was the first president. As the barrage of weapons stops, Makima calls on the Zombie Devil, which appears behind her and turns the deceased members of Public Safety into zombies.

The zombies rush Power, grabbing onto and biting her as she screams out in pain, her left arm flying off as Makima shoots it with a finger-gun like motion. Makima asks a bleeding Power how she was still alive, with Power refusing to answer as she lunges back, grabbing Chainsaw Man and proclaiming him as her own before Makima shoots her in the back. Makima asks for Power to give her Chainsaw Man under the threat of death if she didn't, stating that she'd let Power be her pet again if she gave him over. This time Power obliges, moving behind Chainsaw Man and lifting him up before stating that in fact she had captured him. Pochita is shown in a state of shock and confusion as Power happily states that the glory was all hers.

**Bucky** (コケピー, *Kokepī*?), is the **Chicken Devil** (鶏 (にわとり) の悪 (あく) 魔 (ま) , *Niwatori no Akuma*?), a Devil that embodies the fear of chickens.

## Appearance

Bucky appears as a headless chicken with a bow tie. He is able to speak despite his obvious lack of a head.

## Personality

Bucky has a cheerful personality, constantly joking and trying to get along with the students. Despite being a Devil, he shows absolutely no antagonism or hostility to humans, though he does mention he’d have no hope of surviving on his own, which may hint at the pragmatism of being friendly.

## Plot

### History

At some point, Tanaka captured or otherwise acquired Bucky to become a class pet.

### Justice Devil arc

At Fourth East High School, Mr. Tanaka presents Bucky as a class pet, telling the students that in 3 months, they would kill and eat him. Over time, Bucky became a beloved pet to the class, and at the deadline of his death, they refused to kill him, despite him being a Devil, to Tanaka's elation, saying the real lesson was to value all life.

Asa Mitaka tried to carry him to join in at recess due to him remembering her name, giving her clarity that the class does care for her. However, Asa trips and falls on top of Bucky, collapsing his torso and exposing his entrails. Bucky would later be buried, and Asa became a victim of her classmates' bullying due to this incident. Afterward, it was revealed that the Class President tripped Asa under orders from the "Justice Devil", and make Asa take all the blame for Bucky's death.

## Abilities

As a Devil, the Chicken Devil possesses all of the standard Devil abilities. However, since chickens are not very frightening to humans, Bucky is not very strong, showing no unique abilities. Unlike the superficially similar Pig and Fish Devils, Bucky has a normal human-level intelligence and the capacity for speech which allows him to interact with humans.

## Trivia

* A Headless Male Chicken actually existed in real life in 1940's. Popularly known as 'Mike the Headless Chicken'. It survived for 18 months after it was beheaded and died due to choking on food.
Chapter 25

## Chapter Chronology

**Ghost, Snake, Chainsaw** (ゴースト・ヘビ・チェンソー, *Gōsuto Hebi Chensō*) is the 25th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Aki, heavily injured by the attack, falls to the floor. Sawatari comments how the wounds are likely nonfatal due to Devil Hunter suits being reinforced, but orders Katana Man to finish him.

Himeno tells Power to forget her and help Aki, however Power refuses, believing herself to be far outmatched. Himeno attempts to summon the Ghost Devil, but it refuses out of fear of Sawatari. As a last resort to save Aki, Himeno offers her 'everything' to the Ghost Devil. The Devil's grimace quickly turns to a smile as its true, giant form is revealed.

The Ghost Devil attacks Katana Man. With each attack, Himeno loses more of her body. As she does, she thinks about Aki, and remarks on how unusual it is that he was still able to cry, as most Devil Hunters grow emotionally stunted over time. As Aki looks at her, she tells him not to die, as she wants someone to be able to cry over her death.

Sawatari summons the Snake Devil, ordering it to devour the Ghost Devil. It does, leaving nothing left of Himeno asides from her clothes. Sawatari and Katana Man turn to Denji, stating that their goal is to take his heart. As they do, however, the Ghost Devil's dying hand is shown floating towards his body. It pulls the cord on his chest, reawakening and transforming him. Though he is confused by the current situation, he instantly recognizes Katana Man and Sawatari as enemies, excitedly charging at them, stating he "Loves Bad Guys", as no one cares how brutally he kills them.

## Chapter Chronology

**Save Me, Chainsaw Man** (助 (たす) けてチェンソーマン, *Tasukete Chensōman*?) is the 129th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Drifting into consciousness, Asa notes that there seem to be two Chainsaw Men, before her thoughts are interrupted by a mass of clawed tendrils shooting out trying to grab her. Denji and her leap out of a doorway, arriving back on Earth. Asa is separated from Chainsaw Man, who is bleeding from the stomach due to the tendril attack.

Yoru appears beside Asa, ordering her to finish him off and in exchange, she'll return her body. However, she becomes dismayed as soon as she notices Asa begin to hesitate, before yelling at her, frustrated that she does the opposite of what she says. Grabbing a rock, Asa jabs at her palm, causing both of them to scream in pain, before using the blood to revive Denji. Yoru is irritated that her mortal enemy is being saved, whilst Asa explains that Chainsaw Man has gone out of his way to save her twice, and that watching him has inspired her to keep on living.

Another spiked tendril appears out of the doorway the trio escaped from, causing Asa to scream for Chainsaw Man to save her. Just as the tendril is about to strike them, Denji is revived, picking them up and leaping onto cars and building walls in an attempt to evade the demon. Denji shouts that he's growing more tired, and that he might be unable to save Asa, as more tendrils start to appear from nearby buildings. Asa points out a motorbike on the highway, asking him to steal it, only for him to say he won't do so because a woman is riding it. However, she soon notices a man riding a bike, which Denji is more than happy to steal, though blaming the theft on her. Denji realizes he has no idea how to drive and asks Asa for advice as another tendril is heading right for them. Asa quickly transforms the bike by shouting "Super Chainsaw Man Motorcycle" which dashes forward on its own with great speed, slicing the tendril in half, leaving the original bike owner astonished.

## Summary

A young boy plans to go play soccer with his friends. As he heads out of the door, the city he is in is obliterated by the Gun Devil's presence, as it makes its way towards Makima. Continuing to move, multiple examples of its devastation are shown, as thousands are shot through the heart instantaneously. Exactly 4 seconds after its first appearance, the Gun Devil pauses, before locking its weapons onto Makima. One second later, Makima is shot through the head, marking her 29th recorded death. She instantly recovers, however, as her brain matter forms a halo around her head. The Gun Devil pauses once more. As Makima stands, the bodies of Prinz, Sawatari, Aki, Angel Devil, Kurose and Tendo are shown attached to her. Summoning the combined power of all of their Devil contracts, a sudden hole opens in the sky above the Gun Devil, as a swarm of creatures descend.

At their apartment, Denji hears a knock on the door and goes to answer it, assuming Aki is home. However, as he reaches for the handle, he sees a vision of his nightmare, as Pochita's words echo through his head: "Don't Open It".

Chapter 148

## Chapter Chronology

**Room 606 Sword** (606号室剣, *606-Gōshitsu ken*?) is the 148th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

An elderly man accuses Denji of being one of the pseudo-Chainsaw Devils in disguise, with other bystanders raising their suspicions towards him. Denji and Fumiko try refuting this statement but their efforts are quickly shot down. Heavily suspicious, a Public Safety agent aims a gun towards Denji to prove the elder's claims. Seeing that the situation has escalated, Quanxi tells Denji and his group to run as she holds the crowd off, even withstanding a bullet that was shot at Denji using her arm.

At Asa's apartment, Yoshida expresses shock due to Asa withstanding his blade using her left arm. Acting fast, Asa proceeds to transform her entire apartment into a weapon without touching anything just as Yoshida commands the Octopus Devil to restrain her.

In tandem, an ecstatic Yoru takes control of Asa and slices the Octopus Devil's tentacle to pieces using the newly-formed Room 606 Sword. After freeing herself, Yoru realizes that she and Asa have experienced a tremendous power boost thanks to the recent increase in the fear of war spreading across the world.

The two face off within the ruins of Asa's destroyed apartment using their respective weapons. Yoru lunges straight towards Yoshida, only to crash into a wall due to her not being used to her newfound strength. She notices that Yoshida has fled, deciding to track him down at first. Upon landing on the ground, Yoru stops and watches the world around her in complete chaos and despair. Overjoyed at this sight, Yoru begins laughing triumphantly as the world has finally remembered her at long last.

Chapter 28

## Chapter Chronology

**Secrets & Lies** (秘 (ひ) 密 (みつ) と嘘 (うそ) , *Himitsu to Uso*?) is the 28th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Panicked, Sawatari orders Katana Man to move Denji before Makima can interfere further. As he does, he suddenly sees a figure moving towards them: Kobeni, clutching a knife.

A flashback shows that whilst on duty together, Arai was shot by an elderly Gun-Agent. In his last moments, he threw himself in front of Kobeni, shielding her from being killed.

Kobeni asks Sawatari and Katana Man whether they are the Gun-Agents. Unnerved, Sawatari summons the Snake Devil's tail to attack her. She swiftly dodges it, before running along its body towards the pair. Before Katana Man can shoot at her, she deftly slices his arm off, grabs the gun and shoots him in the back. She then turns her aim to Sawatari. Sawatari fires at her, but she uses Denji's reinforced chainsaw-head to deflect the bullet.

Sawatari grabs Katana Man and drags him into their car, driving away. Kobeni looks down at Denji's unconscious torso, and apologizes for trying to kill him in the past. She slowly begins to laugh, growing slowly hysterical as she remembers Arai's dead body, before deciding that she plans to tell Himeno she quits.

Arriving in Tokyo, Makima is greeted by Madoka. He informs her that almost every human agent in the 1-4 Divisions were killed. He states that the orders from the top of the organisation are that all divisions be merged, and placed under Makima's control. The news causes her to smile calmly. Madoka, anticipating a coming conflict, quits on the spot. As he leaves, he asks Makima how much of the events she anticipated, but she merely responds that she is unable to share classified details with a civilian.

## Summary

The group approaches the hotel. Denji and Power begin verbally harassing Aki, but are quietened when he offers them both gum for their silence. Arai expresses distrust over Denji and Power's presence, however Aki reassures him they're merely there to aid in slaying the devil and if either steps out of line they'll be killed. Aki and Denji begin arguing and complaining. In order to ease the tension, Himeno promises to give whomever kills the devil a kiss on the cheek. Arai is shocked, but Denji refuses, thinking back to Makima as his motivation and claiming that sex and relationships are only fulfilling when one cares about the other side. Himeno playfully rebuffs him, promising him a french kiss if he kills the devil, to which Denji reacts excitedly.

The group move through the corridors, as Denji and Arai begin arguing. Aki and Himeno discuss the other members of the team, lamenting the high likelihood of their deaths. Himeno orders Aki not to die.

A flashback shows Aki being introduced to Himeno, next to the grave of her old partner. Himeno explains her previous six partners had died, and commands Aki not to do the same.

## Summary

As Makima stands amongst her group of Human-Devil hybrids, she elaborates on their nature: They are not humans; Devils or Fiends; but another type of creature that was erased by the Chainsaw Devil's power yet somehow continue to exist. She explains that whilst fighting the Weapon Devils and The Four Horsemen in Hell, the Chainsaw Devil disappeared and appeared on Earth as Pochita in a completely changed near death form, and they have been searching for him since. As Pochita yawns, Makima commands her agents to attack.

Each agent pulls out their weapon, transforming themselves into their hybrid forms, and lunges at Chainsaw Man. As each makes contact with him, they are blown back by the force of him leaping forward, crashing through skyscrapers whilst slicing through Quanxi and Miri Sugo. As they land in an apartment complex, Chainsaw Man kneels over Quanxi and Miri's tattered body, clutching their severed heads. Behind him, Katana Man appears, attempting to slice through Chainsaw Man. He is unsuccessful, however, as it is shown Chainsaw Man was able to decapitate him without taking any damage himself. Makima looks on, calmly exclaiming that the conflict appears 'Unwinnable'.

## Chapter Chronology

**Boom Boom Boom** (バン バン バン, *Ban Ban Ban*?) is the 44th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Conflicted, Denji asks why Reze wants to run away with him. She responds she 'likes' him. Though Denji admits he's tempted, he explains that he's growing more happy with his current situation: his increasing position amongst the bureau, as well as bettered relationships with Aki and Power. He admits these are not things he's willing to give up so quickly. He asks if he can still see her despite this, but she asks if he has someone else he likes before kissing him deeply. After a few moments, Denji falls backwards, and it is revealed Reze bit off his tongue.

Reze then slits Denji's throat and he moves to try and pull his cord, however she swiftly slices off his hand before he can. Kneeling close, Reze stabs him in the back then holds him gently. Reze kisses him again, before apologizing and calmly telling him she intends to take his heart. Before she can move, however, Beam bursts from the floor and grabs Denji, fleeing with him down the hill. As he runs, Beam curses at himself for not recognizing her smell: The smell of a bomb.

As he says this, Reze pulls a pin out of her choker, and her head and right arm explode. They quickly reform, revealing her transformed state: That of a Bomb Devil-Hybrid. Calling Beam a "Thief", Reze uses a powerful blast to launch herself at the duo, crashing in-front of them in an instant.

## Chapter Chronology

**Dark Diving** (ダークダイビング, *Dāku Daibingu*?) is the 51st chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Reze flicks a small blast at Denji, erupting his right arm and igniting him with fire. Moving closer, an irritated Reze asks him to accept death. She comments he has nowhere else to run, with Denji pointing out that the ocean is stationed behind them, reminding her that she had taught him to swim.

She flicks another blast at his other arm. As the smoke clears, it is revealed that Denji managed to keep the arm attached to his torso by placing a chain between his shoulder and forearm. Flinging the chains at Reze, he manages to wrap her up, before leaping into the ocean. Unable to explode whilst wet, Reze sinks to the bottom.

She reawakens the next morning in her human form, lying next to Denji and an unconscious Beam on a nearby beach. She asks him why he revived her, as he responds he did it for his own happiness, as he felt that allowing her to be captured or killed would haunt him. She reminds him that she could still easily kill him, to which he playfully responds "If I'm Gonna Die, At Least Let It Be At The Hands Of A Beautiful Woman". Reze begins to laugh, telling him that she never really liked him, and every flirtatious interaction from her was part of her plan. As she starts to leave, Denji asks to leave with her and go on the run. Questioning him, he tells her that he genuinely likes her, and reminds her that even if all her comments were a lie, she still taught him to swim, implying genuine affection on some level. Reze moves close to him, before swiftly snapping his neck and walking away. As she leaves, Denji calls out, inviting her to the cafe that day at noon if she changes her mind about running away together. Later that day, Denji packs his bag, and heads out to the cafe.

Chapter 121

## Chapter Chronology

**Theory of Happiness** (幸 (こう) 福 (ふく) 論 (ろん) , *Kōfuku-ron*?) is the 121st Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Yoshida takes Asa to the Devil Hunter's Club council room for some coffee, with the former saying it's ok to do so since they're both technically members. Asa wonders why he's spending time on her since he must be busy as a public devil hunter, assuming it must be because he has feelings for her. When asked about why she was mumbling at the school gates, she states she was thinking about how it’s better to live a life of solitude. Yoshida, confused about why she still said it aloud, agrees, saying that in the current day and age, single people can be as successful as someone in a relationship. Asa takes this as a sign of him liking her, and just as it seems like he was going to confess, he instead states that he wants her to stay as far away from Denji as possible. When Asa asks him why, he refuses to elaborate, before leaving.

Back in Denji and Nayuta's home, the latter picks up the most putrid scent of a devil she's ever smelt. She tries to get a lethargic Denji to get up and fight, but he says he doesn't want to fight anymore; even if all the ladies want him, what's the point of doing so if it means he’ll be denied a relationship with any of them? Seeing where she went wrong, Nayuta reasons that as Chainsaw Man, Denji could theoretically have love from the masses; something far greater than just a single girlfriend. Thinking it over, Denji agrees, now reinvigorated to fight.

Feeling dejected for being seemingly turned down a second time, a depressed Asa walks home, frustrated about her current situation. Yoru agrees with her that a life of loneliness might be better than constant heartbreak, but as soon as Asa starts thinking about how she has no redeeming qualities and that she’s arrogant for craving love, the war devil tries to comfort her, saying she's a bit too harsh on herself. Asa then remarks how she’s tired of being unable to maintain a healthy relationship, much to Yoru's stunned silence, with her even saying that she’s better off dead.

Approaching her apartment complex, Asa notices the corpse of a middle-aged man on the ground near her. Yoru quickly takes over, demanding Asa stays back, as she looks up to see every occupant of the complex outside their doors, staring directly down at them.

## Plot

### Bomb Girl arc

Kato is first seen at the Anti-Devil 2nd Division's Training Facility, while Reze is attacking the facility. Kato along with Tanabe are the first ones to try and stop her. Using their devil contract they grow mold inside her heart and intestines, causing internal bleeding. Reze however blows her own head off and throws it into the facility, where she regenerates. Her original headless body runs at the pair and causes an explosion, killing him.

## Abilities

Fourth East High School

**Fourth East High School** (第 (だい) 四 (よん) 東 (ひがし) 高 (こう) 等 (とう) 学 (がっ) 校 (こう) , *Daiyon Higashi Kōtō-Gakkō*?) is where Denji, Asa Mitaka, Yuko and Hirofumi Yoshida go to school, located somewhere in Tokyo, Japan. It is the overarching setting of the Academy Saga.

## Appearance and details

This high school is large and sprawling, located in a heavily populated area of Tokyo. At least five stories tall, it provides a wide view of the city from the rooftop, allowing a person to see the decrepit cityscape of apartments, buildings, and factories. Its hallways are comparable to that of any other school, seeming to mostly be polished and well-built.

The school offers Chainsaw Man buns, which Asa despises.

The school also has a Devil Hunter Club.

## Chapter Chronology

**How to Walk Shoeless** (裸足 (はだし) の歩 (ある) き方 (かた) , *Hadashi no Arukikata*?) is the 100th Chapter of the *Chainsaw Man* manga.

## Summary

Asa, Yoshida, and the girl with glasses walk down the halls of the school hunting for devils trying to make small talk, while Asa lingers behind them. The girl in glasses introduces herself as Yuko, and she is a big fan of Chainsaw Man. She asks if the others also like him, to which Yoshida says he is a fan, and Asa lies and claims she is as big a fan as most other people.

Asa is visibly uncomfortable, and desperately wants to not be in this situation. The three of them walk by another group of three girls, who Asa recognizes from her class, and as they walk by, they start giggling. One of the girls in the group comments that Asa has some nerve looking for a boyfriend after what she did.

Asa grows more uncomfortable and asks to leave. As she's leaving the school, she realizes that someone stuffed raw chicken meat into her locker all over her shoes. Completely disheartened, she attempts to leave the school barefoot, to which the War Devil warns her that her feet will get hurt, but she ignores it. Just then, Yuko comes running out with one shoe off, saying she will share one of hers with Asa. Asa refuses the kind gesture, but Yuko makes her chase her throughout town to give it back.

The two of them end up at Yuko's house, to which she invites Asa in, but once again she declines. Yuko sees Asa off, giving her both shoes this time, and Asa walks home alone with the War Devil pestering her.

## Chapter Chronology

**Gun Devil** (銃 (じゅう) の悪 (あく) 魔 (ま) , *Jū no Akuma*?) is the 13th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Shocked by Makima's offer to grant any wish, Denji asks about the Gun Devil's power.

Makima explains that 13 years ago, due to excessive use of guns and firearms both in devil hunting and the wider world, fear over the weapons began to build. On the day of a major terrorist incident in the USA, the Gun Devil suddenly appeared.

A flashback scene shows a young boy reading with his parents. His older brother asks to play catch with him in the snow. As they step outside, the older brother demands the young boy, Taiyo, puts on a pair of gloves. As Taiyo re-enters the house, both he and the building are instantly obliterated by the Gun Devil's blast.

The flashback continues, showing the length of attacks on each nation by the Gun Devil, revealing millions killed worldwide in under 5 minutes.

In the present, Makima explains the Gun Devil has been missing since, leading to a banning of all firearms globally as well as an increase in the power of all Devils due to the heightened climate of fear. Denji admits he struggled to follow Makima's story, but confidently declares he'll beat the Gun Devil anyway.

Makima explains that small chunks of the Gun Devil's body were left as residue after its attack, and by reclaiming the pieces and reattaching them together, the Gun Devil can be re-summoned and killed permanently. The scene shifts to Aki and Himeno recovering a piece of the Gun Devil, revealing that the older brother in the flashback was Aki.

Denji, alongside several other hunters such as Aki, Power and Himeno, are instructed to hunt a powerful Devil within the nearby Hotel Morin, which is believed to have consumed a fragment of the Gun Devil.

## Chapter Chronology

**Luck With Women** (女 (おんな) 運 (うん) , *On'na Un*?) is the 47th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Reze, clutching the severed heads, explains that she killed the two as a show of strength, stating that she'd rather not kill and asking the group to leave Denji behind and flee. Aki swiftly starts the car and swerves around her, attempting to escape.

Reze leaps atop the car with a blast, irritatedly commenting on how the gasoline within the car will cause a fire. Before she can attack, however, she is ambushed and knocked back with a kick from the Violence Fiend. Aki leans out the car window, shouting that he'd called for backup earlier, and thanking the Violence Fiend. The Fiend kicks at Reze again, however she is able to block his attack, much to its surprise. Complimenting the Violence Fiend on its strength, Reze prepares to fight. Violence Fiend however, noting how much weaker he is, calls to Kobeni before retreating into the building. Reze turns around to see Kobeni on the floor, having fallen with an injured hip. She begins to cry and beg for her life, crawling up into a ball on the floor. As she sobs, Reze leaves.

Aki continues driving down a packed motorway. Looking out the window, Angel Devil sees Reze moving through the sky, blasting herself toward their position. She lands on a large truck immediately behind them, as Denji awakes from his daze with a start. Aki tells the other that as a last resort, he'll ram the car directly into her, as their main goal is to keep Denji away from her. Denji, however, transforms and slices his way through the car towards her, as Aki warns him of his lack of blood.

Facing Reze, Denji angrily tells her that every woman he has met has tried to kill him, asking why so many are interested in the Chainsaw's heart but not him. Reze tells him that her feelings for him were genuine, causing Denji to hesitate. Aki yells out to him, snapping him back to reality and telling him not to be gullible. Denji comments that he no longer needs Reze, as he has Makima. Reze shows suprise, before saying that the two running away together would have been meaningless if Makima held influence over him. Angry, Denji yells that he doesn't want Reze's death on his conscious, and plans to capture her, as he launches himself at her.

## Chapter Chronology

**Lost Love, Flower, Chainsaw** (失恋 (しつれん) ・花 (はな) ・チェンソー, *Shitsuren・Hana・Chensō*?) is the 52nd chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

Aki and Kishibe watch the cleanup of last night's fight. Kishibe tells Aki of a Soviet urban legend of a USSR military branch that kidnapped orphan children and trained them to be soldiers, as well as using them as test subjects. Explaining the story to be confirmed true after an American journalist located it, Kishibe reveals Reze was one of those children, referring to them as guinea pigs. Nearby, an undercover Reze moves to a train station, planning to run away. On her way, she donates money to the same charity stand Denji donated to, and receives a flower of the same kind Denji had.

However, once Reze reaches the station, she gazes at the flower she received and chooses not to enter the train, walking towards the cafe Denji promised to be in instead. As she moves through an alleyway toward it, she begins to smile with anticipation. However, suddenly a mob of mice run by her feet. Forming a large pillar in front of her, a voice is heard from within, as it falls away to reveal Makima. She reveals that she prefers the country mouse, in reference to the conversation between Reze and Denji a few nights prior. However, Makima reveals her reason for liking the country mouse to be based on her enjoyment of capturing and killing them, an activity she describes as giving her "Peace Of Mind".

Reze moves to pull the pin in her neck, however her arm is instantly obliterated. She then pulls out a knife she had hidden with her remaining arm and dashes to try and stab Makima in the back, but she is impaled by a spear thrown from a rooftop by Angel Devil. As Reze slowly bleeds out, she tries to pull the pin in her neck but Makima takes her hand and stops her. Looking to the cafe, Reze thinks of Denji, thinking on the reason she didn't kill him on their first date: Because she had never been to school either, and was as excited as he was. Makima stares at Reze's lifeless body for a moment and tells Angel Devil that he was supposed to bring Aki with him, however she comments that it was nice to leave him behind, as he wouldn't have reacted well to executing a woman. Angel Devil agrees, before looking down at a mouse and asking it if the city is a nice place.

Inside the cafe, Denji sits despondently, clutching a bouquet of flowers. The owner speaks to him, promising that another girl will eventually come along, who is perfect for him. As he says this, the door opens, and Power walks in. She shouts that she followed Denji's scent to the cafe, having been allowed back to work. Denji lets out a low, disheartened sigh, as Power sits next to him. Power, thinking the bouquet Denji was holding is for her, demands that he give her the flowers, and as the two look at each other, Denji quickly shoves them into his mouth, smiling.

The **Punishment Devil** (罰 (ばつ) の悪 (あく) 魔 (ま) , *Batsu no Akuma*?) is a devil that embodies the fear of punishment.

## Appearance

Because of the circumstances in which the Punishment Devil made its only appearance in one gigantic amalgamation of several Devils, it is rather difficult to pinpoint exactly how it looks. They are a being of what may be several conjoined humanoid bodies with distorted faces, each carrying a different weapon. Outside of the bodies they have several conjoined arms on a opened mouth that looks very similar to the mouth of Snake Devil. In the colored manga the inner body is a very light brown or brownish-yellow and the outer body with the conjoined arms on a mouth have a bolder yellow.

## Chapter Chronology

**Woof!** (ワン！, *Wan!*) is the 66th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

## Summary

As Angel Devil looks on, the Darkness Devil slowly turns to look at him. Angel Devil begins to bleed from his eyes, nose and mouth, before collapsing. Aki similarly begins to bleed, as the Darkness Devil reaches out to him. Suddenly, Princi appears, grabbing at the Darkness Devil. Before she can make contact, however, she too is vivisected. Communicating with Makima, Princi is ordered to summon her to Hell. She does, as Makima emerges. Makima and the Darkness Devil face each other, both pointing. Makima's finger suddenly snaps, as the various mouths on the Darkness Devil erupt with blood. Makima approaches Tolka's body, placing her hand on his decapitated head. Holding her arm out, her bones are slowly twisted and cracked, as the Darkness Devil summons a sword to impale her. As Makima touches his head, Tolka suddenly offers all of himself to the Hell Devil in return for sending them all back. They all are then transported back, to the rooftop theme park Santa Clause was stationed at.

Meanwhile, Santa Claus absorbs her remaining Dolls, transforming into a tall, multi-armed creature. She begins to approach Makima, taunting, as Makima holds Denji's torso and, having given him blood, pulls his cord. Explaining that with the Darkness Devil's flesh, no attacks in the dark will have any affect on her. Makima asks whether Denji will save her. He, having transformed, responds with an aggressive "Woof!", charging into battle.
