Go Get 'Em, Chainsaw Man

Kobeni finishes her Dance-Dance Mushroom round, sweaty and spent, cheering a perfect score before a worried glance lands on Chainsaw Man seated nearby. Confused about why she was dancing, she hears Makima answer from the roof above. Makima reports that the Chainsaw Devil has killed her twenty-six times yet still refuses to eat her. The hunter's corpse from earlier rises, drawn upward by a chain from her body, and she is soon shown hovering over dozens of other chained men.

Kobeni insists she had no part in any of this, but Makima counters that her role is large, since her dread of Chainsaw Man has thinned. Blood leaks from his collapsing body. Makima says she loves humans the way people love dogs: loyal, manageable, clever yet foolish, and devoted to her. On a shop television, a newscaster announces that Chainsaw Man has slain the Gun Devil, and the world reacts with joy and disbelief. Witnesses gush about being saved from the Doll Devil's dolls, the Typhoon Devil, a train, the Bat Devil, and a rest stop, and crowds flood the streets chanting his name.

The cheering, Makima notes, gnaws at him, the opposite of the strength fear once lent him. A chained Angel floats up so she can use his power, a black spear emerging from a ring of intestine under the label 'Usage: 1,000 Years.' A dark circle forms in the air, flanked by three towering figures. As light washes over Kobeni and Chainsaw Man, Makima hurls the spear toward Kobeni. He throws himself in front of her, taking the spear through his torso, guts spilling as he drops face-first into his own blood. Makima sighs while the crowds keep cheering over his motionless body.

Kobeni finishes her forced dance as Makima reveals from above that Chainsaw Man has killed her twenty-six times yet won't devour her. A news broadcast credits him with slaying the Gun Devil, and grateful citizens flood the streets in celebration, their cheers sapping his power. Makima wields a chained Angel to conjure a black spear and launches it at Kobeni; Chainsaw Man shields her and is impaled, collapsing motionless.
