Chainsaw Man: Watch Aki Bring His Best Technique to TV

By Evan Valentine

Denji and Power are quite different from the human devil hunter known as Aki, not just when it comes to their devil powers, but also thanks to their boisterous personalities that normally has the Chainsaw Devil and the Blood Devil screaming at the top of their lungs. In the latest Chainsaw Man episode, anime viewers were able to see Aki unleash his powers in the fight against the Leech Devil, proving that even though the human devil hunter might not be a devil himself, he has some wild abilities at his disposal.

Unlike Denji, who struck a bargain with Pochita to transform himself into a Devil, or Power, who is the Blood Fiend who hates both humans and devils alike, Aki has had to take a dangerous path in order to keep up with the devils that are threatening humanity on a regular basis. For this episode, in particular, Aki showed off the bargain that he struck with the "Fox Devil", with the Devil Hunter offering a part of himself in order to rely on the supernatural being's powers. Luckily for Denji and Power, the Fox Devil is a force unto itself who was able to defeat the Leech Devil with one bit, separating the villain's head from its body in one fell swoop.

Chainsaw Man: Aki Can Do What Now?

Twitter User AsakuraAkii shared the pivotal moment that put Aki's contract with the Fox Devil on display, as the supernatural force sprung from nowhere to eliminate the Leech Devil and thus save both Denji and Power, who were still recovering following their battle against the Bat Devil:

Without going too deeply into spoiler territory, the Fox Devil isn't the only devil that Aki has struck a bargain with and these bargains are sure to play a major role in the anime adaptation's future. On top of the devils that are at his disposal, Aki is a talented swordsman, who will normally only rely on his supernatural abilities if his back is against the wall. Now that the Devil Hunter is sharing the same roof with both Denji and Power, he has a whole new set of problems to deal with outside of devil hunting.
