The collective gasp at the reveal of Aki's remaining lifespan.. Lol. This is exactly why Himeno was so adamant on him not using the sword. It's powerful but the drawback is great too.

[@pushqrdx]

he needs a fucking refund for that last sword use

[@Mukatutu]

@@pushqrdx Bwahahahaha basically what I was thinking. As "powerful" as the sword was supposed to be, our first encounter was it was basically not working because the dude got revived immediately. So basically he used it and lost his lifespan for no reason. Same with Himeno sacrificing herself (might've delayed enough to stop them from killing Aki) but ghost basically got chomped by Snake before killing katana man again. Tragic, really.

[@jefplus]

if what Sawatari did to KatanaMan is basically the equivalent to pulling the ripcord on Denji, then he needs a refund ya. but if Sawatari did some black magic bullshit devil revival shenanigan then I think it's fine. but then again we just saw her sit there and revive the dude in like 3 seconds basically if he tried that Curse on Denji, Denji would come out alive in the end like it's nothing. like master kishibe KO-ing him casually

[@ayoayo1044]

LMAO no refunds here. It's not the curse devils fault that it was used on an immortal. Pretty sure it was the equivalent of pulling denjis ripcord but if it was used on any normal person or devil it would've worked.

@@jchavs0212 what a shallow way to interpret this scene lmfao.

[@aaronmgriffin]

Man, the Kobeni bullet scene - you gotta watch him. He gets shot, raises his hand to the bullet, and you see his eyes narrow. In that split second he realizes not only that he's shot but exactly what is going on, where the shot came from, and all that shit. In a microsecond. And he acted to protect Kobeni. It's the most tragic part of that episode to me

[@shamelblack4559]

I think Himeno's sister giving Aki the letter was just a more severe form of the slap Himeno got early on. Slapping Aki in the face with the realization that it was partially his fault she died because he didn't take her seriously and she refused to leave him (only partially cause she could've left Public Safety on her own). Essentially, it was just a non-violent indirect form of the slap Himeno got from her ex partners girlfriend.

[@beyondviolet]

I think it was probably an attempt to get him to quit when he realized just how much Himeno wanted that, but yeah there was most likely some resentment going on there too. Himeno used to take abuse from anyone since she probably thought she deserved it, so I doubt the sister would’ve wanted to put the person Himeno cared about most through the same thing, but I think she probably did subconsciously blame him even though Himeno staying a devil hunter was ultimately her own decision to make

[@jchavs0212]

True. She went for emotional damage lol

Kobeni was panicking in the hotel because they couldn't do anything against the eternity devil. Himeno physically hurt it and that made the situation worse. Nothing kobeni could do would have helped. The only choices were sacrifice denji or slowly starve to death. She was also still scared and literally sad the entire time she was saving denji btw

[@dimasbram7176]

here we go again with Kobeni's white knighting. I don't care if she's the Levi in this series and I don't care if she's the most human out there and it's okay to be freaking not. No it's not okay. Nothing she could do? how about not freaking out? as shown by the rest of them. I know she'll get a development because everyone of you manga readers couldn't shut up about it but at that moment the worst thing is to be panicking.

@@dimasbram7176 Okay, you're being needlessly obtuse for the sake of you not liking a character, likely because the audience poisoned the well of the character for you, therefore you weren't allowed to arrive to your own conclusions about them yourself. So you couldn't appreciate Kobeni being a badass to make up for her previous misdeeds. I get it.

[@wintershogun2696]

The reason the letter by himeno was highlighted was because she stayed in public safety because of AKI, or else she would have left much earlier and wouldn't have died for him.. so aki realises in a way he is responsible for her death...

[@beyondviolet]

not just that, it also shows him how much Himeno really cared for him which he probably didn’t even realize before since he was so dead-set on killing the gun devil (and also his whole thing with Makima)

[@lukecheung5777]

She could have left even before meeting Aki. There was probably an unexplained reason that made her want to stay in the Public Safety. Aki made her give up that reason.

[@juho1891]

@@beyondviolet I think that's an important addendum, and as such I think you're both correct. The couple of lines from the letter we see really convey a lot of information to Aki that we as viewers already got to see in the episodes that led to Himeno's death. It's just that now we know that Aki knows. I think Aki knew that Himeno was interested in him, but since, like you said, he only had eyes for Makima + had his revenge quest, he wasn't emotionally available, and probably didn't fully get the extent of Himeno's affection. I think from a storytelling perspective the letter is important, but it's kind of a dick move from Himeno's sister to show it to Aki, like was pointed out in this reaction. She is grieving and probably blames Aki, like the loved ones of Himeno's dead partners blamed Himeno, so it makes sense from the perspective of the narrative. If I was Aki, I would blame myself, since there literally was something he could have done to prevent her death, even if he didn't understand it at the time. It wasn't really Aki's fault, though. She was an adult and could have quit even if Aki didn't. And it's not like Aki killed her.

[@beyondviolet]

@@lukecheung5777 the teacher guy said in one of the flashbacks that she wants to kill the gun devil too. Plus the guilt of her past partners’s deaths was probably a reason for her to stay as well

[@beyondviolet]

@@juho1891 I also think the letter could’ve been a method for the sister to try to get Aki to quit, since that’s what Himeno wanted. Like a way to honor her. Obviously it didn’t work, but he would’ve stayed on regardless of if he read the letter or not so I think it was sort of a last ditch attempt on the sister’s part. Honestly there’s a bunch of different ways to interpret her actions here since we only saw so much of her, but considering how she didn’t try to chew Aki out at all or actively hurt him (unlike what Himeno’s past partners’s families did with Himeno) I don’t think her main goal was to make him feel shitty.

[@dorfinn2196]

I feel as though it was kinda the opposite lol. someone who had everything taken from them is willing to take from another because that was Aki’s basket in the first place.

[@juicemonster127]

@@irecordwithaphone1856 I guess I could see that. I just interpreted it a different way. When Denji was in the hospital Aki cut his apples and then used them to threaten him.

[@jmfs6041]

*NOT* SPOILERY (just clarifying the contracts): The contracts can be anything, like the fox devil that liked Aki and because of that he could use her head for small parts of his body. The future devil may want half ur life span OR ur eyesight, sense taste and smell OR something else, anything else. if a devil likes u he can asks for a joke and u can use him forever, if he doesnt care about u the contracts would be as the said above about the future devil, if he dislikes u he could ask for ur liver or something like that. Like himeno gave PART of her body to use the ghost devil while the blonde girl only gave a finger nail to use the snake devil.

[@JewJitSuSixty9]

[@machineofthe6thriver430]

I just wanna clarify some of the pronunciation since y’all seem to have been having trouble with it for a while. So for Himeno, if you wanna pronounce it the English way, it’d be “Hih-Men-Oh” or “Hi” as in “him” or “hit” or “his”, “men” like the word “men”, and “oh” like the word “oh”. Hi-men-o. Himeno. Kobeni would be (Koh-ben-ee) so “Ko” like “Co-operate” or “Co-worker”, “ben” like the name “Ben”, and “i” like in the words “leek” or “eat” or “flee”. Ko-ben-i. Kobeni. I think you got the rest of the names down so nice job with that.

[@Gunlot97]

I think denji's problem is that he never had people who cared about him, he doesn't know what it is to feel empathy or friendship for another person because he never saw himself in a situation like that, pochita was the one who accompanied him but he never related to real people with whom he could create bonds and I feel that he is just starting to feel that and maybe he doesn't know what those feelings are. It's awesome that even though it's a quiet chapter, we get this level of animation and it has such a good plot.

[@gormleypeach5809]

I think himenos sister gave the letters to Aki so he would feel guilty. She knows she only stayed becuase of Aki so the soster might have some resentment towards him. Or it could be just be about clarifying her feeling but it also connects back to when himeno told Aki about family of past partners letting out their frustration on them. It's a bummer but after reading alot of the mangakas work he likes to kick his characters while they're down lol Also no shoes mean no noise, Denji big brain!

[@shiggydiggy6847]

[@viniqf]

Denji is a weird case of a person who never really developed empathy correctly from childhood. This means he will feel things in the "wrong" way due to a lack of exposure. He was on survival mode 24/7 until what happened with him and Pochita. He has no awareness of his own feelings and he barely understands himself as it is. Sadly, this will take a long time to get better.

[@juho1891]

I haven't read the manga, so I don't know where the story is going with this, but I don't think it's just that. I think I basically agree with the reactors on this one. To me that moment in this episode was just a very human one, just some mature writing by someone who understands that people don't react to things that simplistically. Not everyone cries or even feels that sad when someone they know dies, how one reacts can depend on a lot of factors, but that apparent lack of a "correct" reaction goes so against social expectations that it can cause one to wonder what that says about them as a person. Like the reactors pointed out, I think that in itself goes to show that he's not heartless, although he's not "normal" by social standards, whatever that means. I think Denji actually reflects on how he feels a fair bit, he just doesn't know how to relate to the world around him. He doesn't know how to apply his feelings to his actions. He wants to feel safe, and loved, and he wants to experience something fulfilling--he just doesn't know how to achieve any of that, so he latches on to whatever he thinks might get him closer to what he craves. His current job has given him a sense of security, but he also feels like something is missing. I think Denji's struggles are something a lot of people can relate to. Thematically, I think it ties in with the fact that Denji has a lot of expectations for what a "normal" life is like, but a lot of his expectations don't end up resembling reality. For growing up in such extreme circumstances, he is very much aware of social norms and has expectations that a lot of "normal" people have, especially growing up, only to find out that life isn't necessarily always like that. Edit: typo

[@TheReactPack]

That definitely makes sense, it does make me happy though that he is able to recognize that he isn't feeling sad so he's growing just a little bit every day. -Morgan

[@pranjoshi]

I might just be reading too much into this, but could the apple be the curse (making contracts with devils) that every one (Adam) wants to eat? I mean, they are doing it because there is no choice but apple related stuff has happened quite a few times I think in this story. And they focus on it everytime too. Like when Aki was cutting apples into slices for Denji when his arm was reconnected

[@ndedpdeepepde288]

I don't think so, Denji left an apple because he saw Aki being sad and felt empathy for him

[@VJ-Vice]

My interpretation of the Apple is that it represents Aki’s choice of a healthy future vs a self destructive one. After Denji left the room Aki had a choice (visually) to reach for the Apple or for a cigarette, and I think that represents his decision on retiring and living a peaceful final 2 years vs staying and the consequences of that

Kishibe (the badass blonde guy) has the same voice actor as Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen. That's probably why the voice reminds you of someone. Also Denji doesn't say ''Powy'' which is a nice nickname in the translation but he says ''Power-ka'' which Japanese people use for their female friend behind their names. So basically Denji sees Power as a friend already

[@dmal4109]

The point of giving him the letter WAS to make him feel guilty. Instead of slapping him or yelling at him, she basically shows him that it's kind of his fault that Himeno died. She wanted out, but chose to stick around because he was stubborn about staying with Public Safety.

Also yeah the contracts for the Future Devil seem crazy but keep in mind that when it comes to stronger devils they may be giving up a lot but they’re getting an equal exchange. Give up more/important stuff = get more/stronger abilities. So like comparatively, the Fox devil wanted some skin for using its head whereas the Curse Devil wanted lets say 80% of Aki’s lifespan but you get to cause instant death. So it makes you wonder what exactly did the Future Devil give those people? And what can Aki bargain for exactly? (I know because I read the manga but I’m very excited for you guys to see how insane this entire series is)

[@dom4012]

I'm assuming you guys skipped Ending 8 when they had a whole ending and funeral for Himeno

[@cctomcat321]

Ngl, I did too. If it's after the credits, I'm not gonna know about it.

[@dom4012]

@@cctomcat321 It is the credits itself. It's directly after the shows end they have a different one each time lol.

[@cctomcat321]

@Dom yeah, I know. I still don't watch them. Usually because I'm on a streaming site and they have a "skip intro" function that pops up.

[@serotonin2511]

Kishibe has the same VA as Nanami from JJK! Always typecast as the jaded professional lmao

[@KrieserTheGerman]

The thought came to mind. So the “future devil” obvs can see the future so they know when you’re going to die and just cut that in half. But… does the devil tell you how much time you have? 😮. I have the manga but haven’t gotten past the katana man fight, but Im guessing the Sensei for Power and Denji is the one who gave up half his life span and that’s why he drinks so much cause he doesn’t care about his health. Another question comes to mind can he use this power consistently at anytime? And that’s why he knows when they’re going to attack him.

[@evgenkhersonets880]

He's a voice actor of Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen.

[@quegs]

The way I see it, either Makima was lying when she got off the train and told the Kyoto twins that “[she] wasn’t shot,” or she was telling the truth. I personally think it’s scarier to believe that she was telling the truth.

[@bagusadisaka9]

say your goodbye to himeno. there's no point in hoping👍🏼

[@gelsonlopesdonascimento5515]

Contracts can be anything as long as both parties agree. However, the demons always have the advantage, after all, it is humans who need them and not the other way around, so they tend to charge a lot in their contracts. But it can happen that a demon likes a person and makes a contract which person has an advantage, as is the case with Denji with Pochita, where Pochita gave his heart in exchange for Denji to fulfill his wishes and show him.

[@aidanpinkney9005]

Himeno was going to die even before she gave up her body to the ghost devil, that's actually a part of the reason why she did it in the first place. So she is definitely dead.

[@gelsonlopesdonascimento5515]

They really want kill this old man, as you can tell Power and Denji, thet do not have a normal sense, they would kill humans easily. And this guy is bothering them, so they want to kill him to get rid of him.

[@needfood3052]

The voice actor for the Kishibe (The Teacher) is actually Overhaul from MHA

Химено надо верить на слово - Jimeno must be taken at his word! 😤

[@guccipucci3941]

I think girl on the right missed that Arai already got shot in the neck once, before turning around and blocking the second, that could explain why she believes he “just turned around” and “just reacted”. No bro, dude already had a lead hole in his fucking trachea, I’m pretty sure he realized what was happening on account of the blood, the pain and the sound of a gun going off 2 meters behind him??? Americans man

[@abjimenez12]

Kishibe's VA is also Nanami's from JJK

[@Vashy434]

Correct, Denji had no shoes on because it would make his movements quieter.

[@stageblood9935]

idk how people keep going "why didnt she fight the eternity devil" when it denji needs three days to kill it and dies on day 1. Kobeni doesn't have a string for himeno to pull and bring her back to life

[@alastorcorvus]

25:33 interesting prediction Will Aki basically get a sharingan to be even MORE like Sasuke (but better)? Next episode on Chainsaw man 😂

Idk if it’s spoilery to confirm a characters death or not, but I just don’t want you guys to keep waiting for something that’s not gonna happen. Himeno is super dead

[@takanara7]

姫野's name is like 'he' as in 'hehe' - men as in 'men' and o as in 'oreo.' Unlike English where the relationship between pronunciation and spelling is somewhat nebulous, mora in Japanese are always pronounced the same way. 'I' is always like the 'i' at the end of "hitatchi' 'e' is always like the e in 'nintendo' - Also the kanji in her name means, like Rural/Fields Princess: 姫 - means princess and 野 means rural/rustic/plains/fields/etc.

[@DOROnoDORO]

"oreo" has two "o"s with different pronunciations. more like the "o" in "oh"

[@siblingstrytoplaynice-comm9029]

Man if they feel this torn up about Himeno, then I can’t wait for how they respond to this next person (who I don’t want to describe or name due to spoilers). I think that the entirety of part 1 is going to be in this first season, since this next arc is suppose to last like 3 episodes, which would be the remainder of the season and their is still a deceptively large amount of story left in part 1, so maybe a season 2?, but that would take them like another 2-4 years to animate, and that is without the other anime they are animating, such as attack on Titan and One punch man season III.

[@beyondviolet]

is One Punch Man still a thing? I thought everyone hated it lol

[@dibidabua]

@@beyondviolet Nope, a season 3 was just announced haha

[@dibidabua]

I thought all of part 1 was going to be aired in a single season, but apparently we're only getting 12 episodes and then we'll have to wait god knows how long

[@siblingstrytoplaynice-comm9029]

@@dibidabua maybe not even that, if you kept up with how the Japanese ratings are going in Japan for Chainsaw man, it’s not looking too good…

At 1st I was getting JJK vibes what with the short blonde hair dude getting ready to train Denji and power to be bad ass Devil Hunters and SCP Containment Breach/Resident Evil vibes with that underground prison facility for devils

Yeah, even the VA is the same so I get it.

Yeah Aki’s sword is OP he’s got the damn reaper death seal from Naruto in that sword but I just need to know who much time it actually takes like did he have 20 and it knocked it down to 2 like what’s the math on it?😂

KO-beh-nee/KO-benny. Not ko-BAY-nee.

[@beamertoy]

23:36 That makes sense, what good would it do for the devil to ask for so much out of Aki if he only has 2 years left to live? It would probably be like "only 2 years? shiiiiiet i can do 2 years for the free"

[@imtriplydead]

*There’s three contracts Future devils wants is the eyes, the smell and the taste. Only choose one only, not all three of em’, i don’t think Aki is gonna give his life span. Maybe future devils let Aki see his future and then make a contract.*

[@jalonihaden6328]

That’s Denji and power apartment not the old man, and they don’t have shoes on bc they think it makes them be quiet 🤫

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

Don’t worry, some devil like good looking person Remember Fox Devil only allows good looking hunter to summon the head And maybe that’s why Makima has a good contract with strong Devil for cheap, must be because of her look 😅 Hopefully Future Devil will give Aki cheap price too

Not to sound sensitive but he wasn't bragging about being super strong and breaking his toys I was like that to do I understood what he was saying being able to get your hands onto something fun and doesn't break no matter how many times you play with it that is why I'm currently doing construction our strong asses need to be regulated metal and wood don't break lol
