‘Chainsaw Man’ Episode 5 Recap
Denji continues to act star-struck after Power lets him squeeze her chest three times to realize his fantasy. Many people in real life also experience this, making Denji a fairly realistic character. Makima steps in to save Denji at this point. She assists Denji in achieving his objectives. After he achieves one milestone, she helps him plan and become fixated on a new objective.
Makima holds Denji in her arms and holds out the possibility of them having sex in front of him to help him develop. Denji is then given an explanation of the Gun Devil by Makima, who has been causing havoc over the globe. To get Denji to follow orders and keep his attention on eliminating the evildoers who pose a threat to society, she holds out the possibility of sexual activity and a deeper bond.
The murder of Hayakawa’s entire family in a wink was personally carried out by The Gun Devil. Aki begins to think of Denji as his brother and feels driven to defend and stand up for him because of the incident’s lasting consequences on him. He accepts Power because he is aware that Denji and Power share a brain cell, in addition.
Later, Aki introduces both of them to the rest of his staff. The group’s leader, Himeno, is ecstatic about the newcomers. She was attacked together with her six-person crew, all of whom were destroyed by another devil. The crew is able to detect and pinpoint the locations of the other bullet bits, which ultimately helps them identify the Gun Devil, by using tiny pieces of magnetized bullets that attract one another from a great distance.
The team finds one of these devils who has ingested a bullet from the Gun Devil, which attracted the team’s bullet. Again, Aki uses chewing gum to restrain Denji and Power in this situation. The team was greeted by a small devil. After killing the devil, the group appears to be locked on the same floor.
The Ending Explained
When Hirokazu reaches the following floor, he discovers a bloodstain that matches the one the death devil left behind on the floor before (7th floor). When he went to recheck the label by going downstairs, he finds out that he was still on the eighth floor rather than the ninth. The others notice him leaving the upstairs as he travels downstairs.
They appear to be locked on the same floor after killing the devil. The team appears to be trapped in a mirror universe with no way out. They always return to the same floor, regardless of whether they try to go up or down. They are TRAPPED! The conclusion of ‘Chainsaw Man’ Episode 5 leaves everyone puzzled and gives the audience a big cliffhanger.
