Excitement and controversy abound in the most recent chapters of Chainsaw Man, which culminate in a moment fans have long awaited: the Hero of Hell, the original and strongest form of Chainsaw Man returned. Denji's emotional turmoil has directly led to this strong expression of his misery, driving him to the brink.
Denji comes upon the terrible sight of Nayuta's decapitated head on a sushi belt in chapter #171. This horrific event combined with his continuous emotional stress sets off a violent outburst within of him. Denji has been gently pushed to his breaking point as the show has been meticulously building toward this moment.
Driven by anger and loss over Nayuta's supposed death, Denji grabs Barem, a devil hybrid, and savagely tears off his neck. Denji's act of violence sets off a metamorphosis whereby his intestines explode around his neck like a scarf. Pochita's actual form, the Hero Of Hell, first appears in this hideous exhibition.
Last seen in the climax fight against Makima and her adherents, the Hero of Hell is a force to be reckoned with. This strong form can totally wipe devils from existence. Barem provides a glimpse of this terrible potential even if the precise nature of this power is yet unknown.
Not gone unnoticed is the Hero of Hell's coming back. Public Safety gets ready to meet Denji knowing where he is located. Comprising hybrid devils and a human leader, a recently established division known as Special Division 5 is assigned to stop Denji from fleeing and wreaking more damage. Denji is already one step ahead, though, which prepares the ground for a terrible massacre.
The Hero of Hell and Special Division 5 will square off in a bloody conflict in the next chapter. Though the result of this fight is yet unknown, one thing is certain: Denji's uncontrollably violent anger will release the Chainsaw Devil's full force and cause damage all around.
Adapted from Tatsuki Fujimoto's popular manga, Chainsaw Man chronicles Denji, a young man enslaved with debt and compelled to hunt devils for the Yakuza. Denji battles for survival with his devoted friend Pochita (the Chainsaw Devil). Pochita gives his life to save Denji when the Yakuza betrays him, so creating a strong contract giving him Chain-saw Devil powers. Driven by his developing feelings for Makima and their shared objective of confronting the ultimate Devil, Denji now a member of the Public Safety Division sets off a new path.
