The 227th chapter of Chainsaw Man during the War Devil arc. Denji finishes off the Locust Devil with his severed arm, only for Yoru to retake control and dismember him limb by limb.
Realizing his right arm is gone and the Locust Devil still breathes, Denji asks Asa what the creature is about and gets only a vague answer. The Locust Devil rushes him, is swatted back, then snares him with its intestine scarf and slings him through a row of buildings. Pinned under the wreckage, Denji cannot move while the Locust Devil sends swarm after swarm of locusts crashing down on him.
Having mended enough from her wounds, Asa tosses Denji his torn-off arm. He uses the chains hanging from it to drag the Locust Devil close and ends it for good. Eating the body, he tells Asa, who asks if he is okay, that the devil tastes of shrimp. She smiles, but Yoru instantly hijacks her again and fires Denji through another building, ripping away his left arm. Denji complains the shot is unfair, and Yoru answers with another blast that flings him into a flock of pigeons and shreds both his legs. Apparently unable to move, he looks on as she walks up and lines up one more shot.
The Locust Devil hurls Denji through buildings and buries him under rubble with relentless locust swarms. Asa returns Denji's severed arm, which he uses to reel in and kill the Locust Devil. Denji eats the corpse and notes it tastes like shrimp. Yoru reclaims Asa's body and shoots off Denji's left arm, then blasts off both his legs, leaving him immobilized as she prepares another attack.
Part of Volume 24 and the War Devil arc. The chapter pivots from Denji's victory over the Locust Devil straight into Yoru's brutal counterattack, leaving Denji dismembered and at her mercy heading into the next installment. Asa, the Locust Devil, and Yoru make up the cast, with the Locust Devil killed.

Look, the origins of this viral showdown trace back to a single tweet that playfully juxtaposed Reze's enigmatic allure against Bakugo's expl...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
