Chainsaw Man has reached a major turning point in Denji’s life with the newest episode, and he’s been surprisingly inspired to take on a dangerous new mission in order to really accomplish his dreams! Denji has been a much different kind of main hero than seen in the other action series from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine as he’s not really fighting for some kind of grand goal. All he wants to do is life a good life, eat some good food, and maybe fulfill some of his deeper urges. That was until he actually got to do those things.
With the previous episode of the series seeing Power agreeing to let Denji touch her chest, he was finally able to reach his dream of fondling a woman. But upon doing so he ends up feeling hollow and wondering over whether or not he’s been fighting people for the right thing. Seeing this, Makima decides to give him a major goal for the future. If he can defeat the strongest devil ever to exist, she will make any one of his (potentially debaucherous) wishes come true.ย

What is Denji’s New Main Mission?ย
Episode 5 of Chainsaw Man sees Denji revealing to Makima that although he was able to finally touch a woman’s breasts, it doesn’t really mean a lot to him. He figured that it would change his life in ways he would never be able to go back from, but instead touching Power didn’t give him the satisfaction he has been seeking. Instead, Makima then allows him to touch her just a little bit and Denji discovers that he feels much differently about touching Makima.ย

After Denji essentially loses his mind over this, Makima tells him about the Gun Devil and explains that although this monster is dangerous, Denji could potentially defeat it. If he does, she says she’ll do anything he asks (even going as far as full sexual intimacy) and thus gives Denji the new desire and new mission to become a proper devil hunter as the anime gets into the first real mission for his hunting squad.ย
