Filled with a new purpose, Denji runs laps around a nearby river while Asa and Yoru assume his probable insanity (then again, Denji’s never really had a box to think inside of).

We know from the previous chapter that Denji’s stomach is still connected to Chainsaw Man’s in the real world. But his enemy reveals that it’s more than that.

As Denji sprints through the forest, the Aging Devil appears out of the trees, offering Denji a chance to escape – if he convinces Pochita to consume him in the real world. 

When Denji asks what he gets out of it, the Aging Devil reveals that tens of thousands of children will be slaughtered. 

He refuses, confidently stating that “Chainsaw Man is a superhero,” and that Pochita would never do it.

The Aging Devil notes how quickly Denji moved on from his loss, and accuses him of never loving them at all. But Denji shoots back, boldly declaring that he’ll “find family again somewhere” even if he loses more people down the line.

The Aging Devil insults Denji’s lack of a plan. Drenched in sweat next to a snowy lake, Denji calls him stupid and says his plan is already in motion.
