Chainsaw Man Unpacks Denji and Power's Genius Makeover

By Evan Valentine

While Chainsaw Man certainly has shared its fair share of blood anf gore in the first episodes of its anime adaptation, the story following Denji and his fellow devil hunters still finds a way to inject some serious humor into the proceedings. Following the deadly fight against the Katana Man, Makima's ranks are licking their wounds, while both Denji and Power receive a new trainer in the enigmatic Kishibe. With the devil hunter sensei taking no prisoners, the Chainsaw Devil and the Blood Fiend have put their heads together to think up a plan.

Kishibe has wasted little time in attempting to whip Denji and Power into shape, doing so in one of the most brutal ways possible as he has used his skills to murder both fiends dozens of times over. Pushed against the wall, the two devil hunters have decided to team up and attempt to stop their new trainer's bloody regiment, hilariously slapping on glasses to really push forward the notion that they have put their thinking caps on. While the plan that they put into motion is quite clever, incorporating Power's control of blood in an ingenious fashion, it, unfortunately, came up short and netted Denji a brutal hit in the process.

Chainsaw Man Thinking Caps

The scene in question highlights one of the most action-packed moments of Chainsaw Man's latest episode, with Power using her blood manipulation in an attempt to stab Kishibe, but unfortunately, the elder devil hunter has more than a few skills up his sleeves that make him a dire threat to the two young fiends:

We only have a few episodes left before Chainsaw Man's first season comes to a close, and the finale of this latest installment certainly hints at the idea that things are about to get a bit darker. While Denji and Power have been training, Aki is seemingly more than willing to throw his life away in search of additional power, agreeing to strike a deal with the Future Devil following Himeno's death and the revelation that he only has two years left to live according to the Curse Devil. 

What did you think of this ingenious sequence in Chainsaw Man's latest episode? Do you think Denji and Power will manage to actually beat Kishibe before the first season ends?
