Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン)

th Floor

th Floor

Huh?

Arai... just now... you were going downstairs, right?

Kobeni, make a double peace sign and stay put.

Well, shit.

Aki... what's going on here?

It has to be a devil's power at work.

Kobeni, stand right there.

Why are there rooms on the other side of the window?

Hey! None of the windows go anywhere!

They just open to the room across the hall!

I figured as much.

We're trapped on the eighth floor.

th Floor

Let's run through what we know.

This is probably a devil's doing,

and no matter how many times we try to go to a different floor,

we end up on the eighth again.

The elevator is inoperable for whatever reason.

There's no way outside via the rooms or any windows.

We tried going through the ceiling, but ended up on the eighth floor again.

Maybe it's because Power killed that devil?

He coulda died while using the power to keep us trapped.

And now—

You commanded me to kill him!

Did not!

A devil's powers are released when they die. It can't be that.

Is the flesh piece reacting, Aki?

Actually...

It's gone dead still.

That devil before was bait, and we bit hard.

I've never seen a devil try something so clever before.

But if no one hears from us for a while,

won't other Devil Hunters show up to help?

I guess we better hope they don't fall into the same kind of trap, then.

We're all gonna die here.

We're gonna starve to death.

H-Hang in there, Kobeni!

Didn't you become a Devil Hunter to send your brother to college?!

They basically forced me to do it.

My parents are set on my older brother going to college,

since he's the gifted one.

So they made me get a job.

It was become a Devil Hunter or a sex worker!

I wanted to go to college, too!

And now I'm gonna die here!

Her face...!

Enough!

Quit laughing!

Kobeni, devils love fear, okay?

If you get scared, you're giving them what they want, sweetie.

But I'm so scared!

Something bothering you, too, Aki?

The clocks in this room...

have been stuck at 8:18 for a while now.

In every single room... it's 8:18.

There's a chance that time has been frozen here on the eighth floor.

And if that's the case, no one is coming.

Oh, shit! Then we can sleep all we want, right?

How stupid are you?

We might be trapped in here forever.

I mean, we might be, but we might not be, too, y'know?

Wake me when you figure it out.

This bed is freaking sweet. It'd be stupid not to sleep in it.

I owe the devil for this nap.

He's actually asleep...

Denji.

Rise and shine, Denji.

We find a way off the eighth floor yet?

Hate to break it to you, but not yet.

We found out the power and electricity are still working while you were asleep.

There was a little bit of food that some of the guests who ran must've left behind.

I'll be honest, everyone's really worn out.

Aki's been searching for the devil nonstop.

I told him to take a break, but he won't listen.

Arai was helping Aki at first,

but now he's locked himself up in another room to have a panic attack.

Kobeni freaked out and tried to drink toilet bowl water, so I knocked her out.

And as for the Fiend...

Something happen to Power?

Given there's nothing else to do, I've decided to win the Nobel Prize!

Once I've earned such glorious esteem, the humans will all kowtow to me!

And with the Nobel Prize as my foothold,

I shall ascend to the prime minister's throne!

What better way to ensure human suffering?

My first act will be passing a 100% sales tax!

She's always like that.

Huh. Okay, then.

Let's take turns watching Kobeni and Arai.

I couldn't even use the bathroom when it was just me.

Well, this is my last cigarette.

I'm bored by how little this upsets you.

I can take it easy because Aki's working hard.

The nicotine also helps!

Gotta have a port in a storm, right?

Life is sweeter with a bit of dependence.

Hey, that's the same brand he smokes.

That's because Aki learned all about the flavor of cigarettes

from yours truly!

Not gonna smoke, Aki?

No. It's bad for your bones.

You should start. It's great for socializing.

I'm not looking to make friends.

Let me guess why you joined Public Safety.

You're out to kill the Gun Devil, right?

Everyone who signs up with a chip on their shoulder is the same...

since only Public Safety is allowed to hold onto pieces of the Gun Devil's flesh.

Devil Hunters die young anyway. Might as well smoke.

I don't plan on dying any time soon.

I'll hold you to that.

It's a pain in the ass when your partner dies.

What the hell was that?

She was my old partner's girlfriend.

It happens a lot. You get issues with the family and friends of dead partners.

They can't do anything to get back at the devils, so they take it out on me.

I just consider it something that comes with the territory.

What was that about?

I put gum on the clothes of that girl who hit you.

You shouldn't just sit back and take being treated like that.

No need for you to feel guilty. I was pissed off.

So I got some payback.

Serves her right.

She's gonna waltz around without realizing there's a wad of gum on her clothing.

There's something my master said...

Devils don't fear Devil Hunters who are strong or brave.

They fear Devil Hunters who have a screw loose.

Which is why I think you'll survive a long time in this job, Aki.

Was that an insult?

And I'll eat your almond tofu if you don't want it.

Just one.

I'm not smoking. It's bad for your bones.

I wish you would. I get the feeling we're gonna be together for a while.

Just one, then.

This is the first and last cigarette I ever light up.

Himeno, do you have any smokes left?

Sorry. Last one.

Let me have it, please.

If you insist...

Dude, that's kissing! No fair! That's an indirect kiss!

Shut up.

I've got bad news.

Remember the devil we killed?

The one that I slew!

Well, he's a lot bigger now.

That really is the one I slew.

It traps us in a hotel... and its body turns into that?

What the hell kind of devil is this?

Humans. Hear me, humans.

You foolish humans. I offer you a contract...
