LatestSawatari sends the "Ghost Devil" after Hayakawa, and he's nearly killed before the "Ghost Devil" stops and hands him a cigarette with a message from Himeno. The words inside give Hayakawa the strength to kill the “Ghost Devil” and capture Sawatari. Meanwhile, Denji heads into his rematch with Samurai Sword. With a pull of the starter on his chest, he transforms into Chainsaw Man. And now, the last battle between Chainsaw Man and Samurai Sword has finally begun...
Denji has a simple dream—to live a happy and peaceful life, spending time with a girl he likes. This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash.
Direction

Sound
Chainsaw engine ASMR and one of the most unhinged ED compilations ever.
Writing
Fujimoto's absurdism where the dumbest guy asks the hardest questions.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Each episode features a different ending song by a different artist—a flex so expensive other studios wept.
Fujimoto originally wanted Chainsaw Man to be a 'shitty movie' feeling story, which explains the jarring tonal whiplash between dumb horny comedy and existential dread.
