He tells her that he intends to hook up with Makima for the first time, and although Himeno is relieved by this, she still seems upset that Denji also has a crush on Makima. She wonders if he would still love her if he found out she has a bad personality, but he just doubles down on her affection.

Power informs Aki that Himeno might need a doctor. He wonders how Katana Man got a gun in the first place, as only the police are allowed to have firearms after the Gun Devil terrorist attacks. Before he can think of anything else, a mysterious blonde woman appears, asking Aki how she was able to kill Katana Man.

Himeno then questions the ghost demon, offering them whatever she has in return.the ghost devilgets the upper hand on Katana Man as Himeno sacrifices her limbs one by one to save Aki. She expects him to cry for him when he does, as he has for many of her former subordinates. As he watches in horror, the mysterious girl with the Katana Man summons a demon of her own. Suddenly, the Snake Devil appears, swallowing Himeno's Ghost Devil whole. When Aki looks up again, all of Himeno has also disappeared.
This episode confirmed something that viewers had already started to realize last week: that Himeno had feelings for Aki. This gives her and Denji something in common, as they both yearn for someone beyond their arm's reach. However, he then turned left, eliminating nearly half of the main cast members up to this point. If there's one thing Chainsaw Man is good at, it's keeping viewers on their toes. It will be interesting to see how the remaining Division Four members handle things now, especially with so many new questions coming up.
