Makima is on another level! Whatever her devil power is, it's op asf.

Everything was on point this episode! They are bring the manga to life with this. I will say I like the ghost hand in the manga better. I think it was just framed better. Then anime kind of just did it without to much meaning behind it.

BJ devil is kind of bad ass. She needs to stop crying and show us those assassin skills, cause she playing out here.

lmao the first 2 minutes of the episode pretty much just shows how Fujimoto dumbed down the characters for plot convenience, i was the entire last episode thinking "why the hell no one brings Denji back??? just push the damn thing", all characters suddenly forgot about Denji existence for "reasons" and apparently only Himeno's demon had any sort of intelligence and decided to revive Denji.

Dumb writing aside, the episode was pretty good.

What a dope episode. Makima's ability is so cold and mysterious.It was also great to see Kobeni actually be useful, and in a thrilling way. I look forward to the next one

Say the name: GUN DEVIL! *roll credits*

My memory must be sh*t because I definitely would've remembered a scene of Kobeni going berserk

edit: so yeah john wick kobeni is not in fact an anime original scene and my memory is just really bad. They definitely did her scene justice though.

Perfect episode, but it looks like Chainsaw Man's fight isn't done yet since his opponent got away. It was like a warm-up fight.

Makima power is insane, does she have to know the person's name in order to squash them. How did she find out all they're names was is all a set up by her. She seemed awfully happy to be the division leader for division 4. Was her plan to weed out the weaklings, in order to hunt the gun devil. I love her mysterious atmosphere.

Kobeni came in clutch for Denji, and she surprisingly has some serious moves. She made two villains literally fear her by shooting at them. She also got that granny in a split second once she realized the situation. She is literally the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world.

This episode really disappointed me a lot, which doesn't mean it was bad, but I expected more, at the end of ep 8 they wanted to make it look like the members of the divisions had been killed, of course anyone who has any experience with fiction noticed that they wouldn't kill everyone, but this hook that leaves everyone waiting to know who died, who didn't, worked very well.

now the sequence of events of ep 9 was really disappointing, first it shows us another Denji fight, which is cool, but we saw Denji once again taking a beating, it makes us wonder why this demon wants Denji so much? It shouldn't be feared as makima said earlier, because despite being cool, the chainsaw demon doesn't prove to be as scary in combat as its name makes it out to be, And finally makima's ability, which tries to show us tremendous imposing power, however I hope I'm not right and the only two survivors have a good reason to get out alive than just pure coincidence or lack of prisoners for makima to use her power, that would be much more disappointing, killing about 30 extras that no one cares about and none of the enemies that seem to be relevant would prove to be a huge mistake. However I hope I'm wrong because chainsawman has been pleasing me a lot until now.


The explanation about why chainsaw is so desired or feared by demons and people is going to be explained later, but we already know some hints said by Himeno: Makima wants to be close to Denji. On the explanation about demons, fear and power by Makima she said that a chainsaw demon: "it's interesting". But there are some secrets, so don't worry!

And the ability of Makima only works if she knows the name of the person. There will be an episode when they show us how she can get those yakusas names! Snake girl ( name later revealed) and Katana man names are unknown by her.

Damn. This show used to be a lot more straightforward but now it's getting more complex and generating more questions. Not complaining, still a 10/10, but wow do I keep getting more and more confused with this arc.

Very interesting seeing Kobeni do something other than scream haha. We all knew she had some kind of potential, but it's crazy we had to wait so long to see it. That was a sick sequence seeing her attacks. Such good animation.

CGI or not, the fight scene featuring Denji was also pretty nicely cinematic and choreographed.

The visuals in this ED were cool too. I can't wait to watch a retrospective compilation of all the endings back to back to really revel in how well-made each one is; from the music to all the unique animations.

The budget for this show and length of production must've been insane.

Both of those issues you mentioned are spoilers for the next season. You will soon learn why Makima needed them alive and why Denji's heart is so important in the later seasons.

Reread chapter 75-76 of the manga again. You will find the reason why Makima didn't kill Sawatari.

I adore how they are adapting makima, i think a big part of it is hearing that soft yet disconnected voice coupled with how they are using the soundtrack, the train + shrine scene is one of my favorites from these early bits of the manga and I think the added scene of the prisoners being transported there adds to the disturbing nature of it, like the simple act of seeing these confused people being transported suddenly really humanizes them even if they are criminals and makes what is about to happen so much more sinister feeling.

I'm really pumped to see how they adapt alot of scenes with this tone, I really want them to lean into a sense of unease or even horror with alot of moments coming.

Yes, the explanation will be way later in the manga though. For now just assume that it was part of Makima's abilities.

Lots and lots of bloodbath going on today, thanks to Makima squished down all of the lackeys Katana Man has into explosive pancakes.

I am most astounded that Kobeni can fight and rescue Denji, (who is still decapitated at the moment) though her devil contract remains a mystery. I feel sorry for her after she witness one of her close comrades died in a shootout and expresses regret on her actions.

Of course, today's outro song and animation gave me goosebumps and saddening emotions, which indeed out best all of them thus far. Only 3 episodes and we're done here.

Damn what an epic episode! The music and animation were on point
Denji is back! And after an epic fight, he got cut in half lmao, so i do wonder how that part will end.

Also, it was obvious that Makima couldn't be dead! And we finally got a glimpse of her power and oh boy...i have to say, that was insane! I do wonder tho what is her full power...
Oh and Kobeni finally got a good scene, she finally slayed someone in an epic scene.

Uhhhh wow holy shit

Yeah I knew Makima couldn't be dead, but also how did she survive that, and wtf did she do to those guys at the train? That seemed totally different from the creepy squeeze-hand power that showed up later.
Speaking of that, it seems super OP - what kind of demon contract is that, I wonder? The death devil, maybe, with all the crow imagery (though that could just be for death in general :P). It also sounds SUPER overpowered to have a contract with "THE DEATH DEVIL", so it sorta fits, but Idk if that's even a devil in the first place, and if it did, it'd probably be even more powerful than a "gun" devil.

Also, Makima must be behind this in some way, she literally killed everyone but the main evil guys, who should probably have been the priority. This can't just be plot convenience, right?

And of course, Kobeni has some serious moves. What devil did she contract with? The "knife devil" seems like a sort of obvious choice with how much she is depicted with a knife so far, but can't say for sure yet. Maybe that's too obvious. And I can't find a connection between knives and those sick ass moves. Maybe that doesn't have to do with her devil and is just part of her own training.

Also, again, why do the villains want Pochita? What does the main villain, who is apparently a super strong devil who can devastate an enormous area of the world within a blink, want with a super weak devil that was near death and needed to be nurtured by a human to survive? That sounds weird. Was Pochita deceiving Denji? What did it get by doing that?

So many questions (manga readers please do not answer any of them, it's just commentary, I want to find those out by myself). I'm very intrigued to see where this goes!
