With Chainsaw Man Episode 6 promising a showdown between Denji and the anime’s newest foe, fans won’t want to miss it when its release date arrives. After all, the outcome of this fight will determine what happens to the show’s lead — and the rest of Tokyo Special Division 4.
‘Chainsaw Man’ Episode 6 puts Tokyo Special Division 4 in a bind
Chainsaw Man Episode 6 picks up where the last chapter left off, with the members of Tokyo Special Division 4 trapped on the eighth floor of the hotel they’re investigating. The group soon realizes that their predicament is a Devil’s doing — more specifically, the Devil that Power killed when they first arrived. It seems Power’s attack didn’t finish it off, and it’s holding the team hostage until it gets what it wants: Denji.
It’s unclear why this foe wants to eat Denji, but as Aki notes, its reason likely won’t benefit them. That’s why Aki and Himeno vote against handing their teammate over — well, that, and Aki is hoping to use him to defeat the Gun Devil later on.
Not everyone in Tokyo Special Division 4 is against sacrificing Denji, though, and the group starts fighting amongst themselves. Kobeni even picks up a blade and injures Aki, who jumps in front of Denji at the last moment.
Annoyed that he and Aki aren’t even — and seeing no other way out of the situation — Denji makes the choice to jump into the Devil’s clutches at the end of Chainsaw Man Episode 6. Of course, he’ll be whipping out his chainsaws, so we can expect some action when Chainsaw Man Episode 7 opens. What else could happen next week?
Predictions for ‘Chainsaw Man’ Episode 7
Now that Chainsaw Man has introduced a new foe, what can viewers expect when the release date for episode 7 arrives?
Chainsaw Man Episode 7 will likely open with Denji fighting the Devil who’s holding them hostage. However, the installment may go beyond their one-on-one.
The anime raises questions about why this Devil wants Denji in the first place. We may learn important details about the lead’s Devil form — and how it impacts other Devils if they ingest it. If we had to guess, we’d say that eating Denji could grant them useful abilities. It also seems like the hotel’s Devil wants Denji off the playing field, so this could be a means of achieving that.
We’ll see more of Tokyo Special Division 4 when the anime returns as well. And it’s hard to imagine characters like Kobeni and Hirokazu sticking around after the latest mission. Whether they’ll be forced off the team or leave of their own accord is another story. But stabbing Aki — by accident or not — likely won’t go unanswered.
We’ll have to keep watching to see what becomes of Tokyo Special Division 4. Whatever happens, we can count on Denji helping them get free. There’s a reason other Devils are afraid of his chainsaws. We’ll be reminded of it when the next installment arrives.
Chainsaw Man Episode 7 debuts on Tuesday, Nov. 22.
