Chapter 219: The Bereft

Buying herself a moment to recover, Yoru fires a round into Pochita's chest. Inside the dreamscape, Asa berates Denji for botching things and says she can no longer help, but he insists the slip was Pochita's, not his. Thinking back on the ultimatum once issued by the Fire Devil, Denji grasps that Pochita is warning him away from siding with either Yoru or Death, since either one's triumph would rob him of a normal life. He tells Asa he will build a new world meant for them both, and she weeps to see him, grown up again and back in his school uniform, stretch out his hand. She longs to take it yet fears she cannot, being half-devil and a danger to his dream, but Denji assures her she is no different from him and promises to handle her devil side himself if it interferes.

Yoru reconnects Death's severed head before her power can fire, scolding Pochita for failing to kill with care. Grateful, Death admits she would sooner live, since she had hoped to drop by the school festival. Reading that as frailty, Yoru proclaims that saving her sister's life makes Death her property. She taunts Death for pitying humans, arguing the softened heart that shames the sisters is exactly what makes her an ideal next weapon. As Death howls through the agonizing change, Pochita cuts the process short, shearing through Death and Yoru's arm alike before gulping Death down whole. Yoru begs him to spare her sister too late, and she shakes, scarcely able to speak the name. Robbed of Death and denied her proof of dominance, Yoru cries out for Chainsaw Man as he readies himself to clash with her anew.

In the dreamscape Denji resolves to make a new world for himself and Asa, who hesitates over her half-devil nature until he promises to manage it. Yoru reattaches Death's head and tries to remake the compassionate sister into a weapon, but Pochita severs the process and devours Death whole. Shattered by the loss, Yoru screams out for Chainsaw Man as he gets ready to fight her again.

Appearing in Volume 23 with the Japanese title Ushinatta Monotachi, the chapter delivers Death's demise and resets the duel between Pochita and Yoru. Pochita eating Death undercuts the War Devil's scheme. The cast includes Yoru, Pochita, Denji, the Death Devil, the Famine Devil, Miri Sugo, Asa Mitaka, the Fire Devil, and the Four Horsemen.
