| I don't usually comment on episodes, but this one was absolutely massive. This is how you do storytelling, people. No amount of fancy animation can top that, so arguments like "Too much CGI" are completely irrelevant imo. Best action episode of the year, no contest. |
Friermiko said: If at least the author crashed half of denji’s body and made him to not regenerate it (aka having consequences), then it would have been interesting. But no we can’t have that, the author only kills characters we don’t care about. I haven’t read the manga, but I can say for certain that denji will just return next episode with plot armor like nothing happened, which defeats the purpose of any threat in this anime/manga. Really disappointing episode. So you just want the protagonist to die? How will the story continue if the protagonist just dies? Also this mangaka kills way more characters than whatever you are expecting and . So I don't know how you are complaining about plot armour. |

I don't think he ever said killing the protagonist in his comment tho, but he is surely exagerating with the crushing half of his body and not making him regenerate. There is plot armour in this series tho, but plot is literally what moves any series, so eh. |
| Easily the best episode yet! The real CSM begins from here on out. |

Without any regenerative ability any person whose body is crushed in half will be killed immediately from blood loss, organ failure and shock. |

| What the hell happened?? OMG I have no word to describe this episode. Brilliant writing, amazing animation, good direction... This is a masterpiece. |
| Uhhhh... EXCUSE ME, WHAT? That was quite the episode. I think Himeno is really gone, but she might be the only one for now. Makima died very explicitly, but there's no way all the stuff with her ends here, so she for sure as a devil that resurrects her like we saw with ChainsawSword-Man or something like that. Kobeni and Arai feel like very disposible characters, but, with a cutaway like that, they're probably alive... But regardless, everyone is in quite the pickle, huh? I've been enjoying it quite a bit so far, but now I really can't wait for the next episode... |
Rest in Piece, Miura. |
| That whole episode was like a mind trip, from the beginning sequence all the way to how quickly shit turned on its head and of course, the finish. I have read the manga twice and even after finishing it, I was just having that feeling of "Wtf happened". The direction from start to finish went hard to give me that bizarre and unsettling feeling from start to finish and the stuff that actually took place here cemented that. Just chaos was happening everywhere, and in a flash, Himeno's just dead like that. There were some death flags in previous episodes, but how quickly and abruptly it happened alongside the train scene made the series feel unchained as a whole. It's hard to exactly process my feelings here since there were definite issues that I could say that prevent it from being a perfect episode, like the opening scene being a nice addition but was way too long, and yeah the animation while solid with the effort and some cuts, had its iffy moments too. But it's definitely a noteworthy episode to say the least. Borrowing from Mushoku Tensei kinda here, this was definitely a Turning Point. Also, the music by Kensuke Ushio as a whole was fantastic for this episode, was a big part in making this whole episode feel like a trip, almost otherworldly like. |
Ionliosite2 said: Oh, right, so here starts the episode where it shows that Chainsaw Man doesn't know how to do and how to handle deaths of characters. Finally someone with the right mind and wise words. Еveryone was saying that this episode should have broken the internet. I am not impressed at all. |

| Man I refuse to believe Hemeno died just like that and same goes for Makima and the others who got shot what is happening rn |

Friermiko said: Cause basing an opinion on a work based entirely on the outside influence of what people said is dumb and going to get you caught up on pretty superficial stuff like this comparing apples to oranges and expecting things that are only 1/7th of the way through to already reach praised that are obviously directed at the overall work and now the prologue.Badguy_oncel said: name one shonen anime without plot armor Now, why would I compare chainsaw man that is supposed to be a masterpiece, peak fiction, unlike anything we have seen before to some generic shonen? |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

What you are talking about here is all irrelevant. what I mean is there should be consequences. For example having physical scars, like losing a limb. But no, the author will continue to the next event like all of this never happened. don't bother with csm fans...they will shit on other shounen for having plot armor and so ...but defend their shit with heart and soul |

Finally someone with the right mind and wise words. Еveryone was saying that this episode should have broken the internet. I am not impressed at all. I think the problem here is that many people say break the internet as something lightly and easy thing to do. This episode has something relatively unexpected, and it definitely was one of the 2 scenes in Chainsaw Man I wasn't even close in predicting (even if this scene made a lot of others pretty easy). So I guess it is supposed to be impressive and leave people surprised, but I don't think killing a couple of basically irrelevant characters would "break the internet". |
Friermiko said: Its been established and shown that fiends regenerate when they consume blood, Denji and power arent human. Theres ways to show consequences in ways that aren't literal physical damage and unless you just wanna spoil yourself on shit you best just moving on from this point cause your just asking for people to tell you shit way ahead of time at this point. Its like complaining about lack of progression at the start of a romance series where the couple gets together way before the end or saying theres no deaths in a series where no one survives, your just asking for people to blurt out shit that happens.King_KK said: People die if you crush half of their bodies though.

| Curse devil was bad, seggs was too drawn out, shadman looks neat. |
| Omg what was that, I can't believe Makima died so easily. I'm sure she's coming back. |
 |
| Another flawless episode from Chainsaw Man, I was actually worried about how they'll butcher Makima's and Himeno's deaths, I'm glad it was as abrupt and sudden as in the Manga. |
| I read the manga but still wasn´t quite ready. |
I witnessed a loli spill from a cartridge and somehow retained my sanity. |
| This episode was legit insane, one of the best episodes of anime as a whole in a long long time, the coloring as usual on point, the insane pov scenes, the flash switch into suddenly everyone getting shot, on top of that ending sequence, topped all of it with TK doing the ending with visuals about her funeral, wow, masterpiece. |
 |
| Looks like the turning point of the series has arrived and in such a bloody and brutal way that had me gripped. The POV part of the drunk Himeno on Denji from last week was pretty nicely done and I'm glad that she finally succumbed to sleep pretty quickly, so Denji's virginity stays safe for now. I enjoyed their talk together the morning after over breakfast, agreeing to work with each other in trying to get together with the ones they like (Makima for Denji and Aki for Himeno). However, things turned for the worst as pretty much everyone that we know from Makima's squad, including Makima herself, were targeted and shot at. Whether Makima's truly dead or not, who knows, although by face value, it does look like it. As an anime-only, I can only assume that the next episode or two will present the true answer to my confused mind. Things were more brutal with Denji, Power, Aki and Himeno when they got targeted by two enemies where even Aki and Himeno's powers weren't enough. Seeing Himeno sacrifice herself in her attempt to save Aki was a sad sight to see. =( While I'm not the biggest fan of TK, his song for the 8th ED was very good and it fits the brutal theme of this episode as a whole. Overall, this episode was great, with gripping and shocking moments paired up with great production values again. |
