Rain, Brothel, Removal

Katana Man admits the brothel he proposed is his own property, which disgusts Asa. She urges Denji to agree that he hardly requires this, yet to her horror he genuinely mulls it over. He notes he has not masturbated in a while, which might account for his recent gloom. Asa demands to know how he can dwell on sex now, and he likens it for men to eating and sleeping in importance. His attempt to recruit Nobana and Haruka falls flat. Asa brands him a shameless pig and recalls his mission to find Nayuta, yet Denji brushes it aside, saying he wants his physical needs met first.

Once they reach the place, Katana Man is gutted to discover only ashes. Rain begins, and Asa, thoroughly fed up, stops caring what they eat. Denji drops to the ground and falls apart, furious that he cannot order his priorities. He confesses that the prospect of a harem was the chief reason he became Chainsaw Man again. Nobana gives a weak laugh, and Denji snaps that he means it, hammering the ground in frustration and blaming his libido for everything. Sensing her chance, Yoru takes over Asa and proposes lopping off Denji's penis if doing so would settle his problems.

Denji seriously weighs visiting Katana Man's brothel, framing sex as a basic need, much to Asa's disgust.

The brothel turns out to be burned down. As Denji breaks down over his priorities, Yoru seizes Asa's body and volunteers to remove his penis.
