After all, the intense promo begins on a high note as Denji transforms into Chainsaw Man. It is there the student takes on Katana Man, and of course, the pair is covered in blood by the end. While their feud carries on, Aki is shown briefly incapacitated as he mourns the loss of a good friend. And of course, the rest of the group is on their feet fighting Katana Man’s accomplice.
Chainsaw Man, the Story So Far
Episode nine is destined to be a wild one, and it will also answer a major cliffhanger from last week. This new promo does show Makima very briefly, so fans will learn how the hunter survived the ambush against her last week. If we know anything about Makima, it is that she is hard to kill, and those people who wanted her dead will be in a world of pain very shortly.

Right now, the anime can be binged on Hulu and Crunchyroll stateside, and you can read up on the story’s official synopsis below if you need more info on Chainsaw Man:
“Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil dog Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man-Chainsaw Man!”
