Chapter 68

Dark Power (ダークパワー, Dāku pawā) is the 68th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
Denji, faced with the human-dolls, chooses to run away. However, his attempts to escape are blocked, and he is forced to impale one of the dolls with his chainsaw. Feeling guilt, Denji holds back, allowing the dolls to gradually swarm him. Suddenly, Quanxi appears, shooting the remaining dolls to pieces, as she tells Denji the dolls are merely imitating humans. Denji asks how she is sure, to which she responds that believing it is the only way he'll be able to bring himself to kill them, reminding him that "Ignorance is Bliss".

Taking this moment of pause, Santa Clause bursts through a wall and grabs Quanxi, however is once again torn apart by her blasts. Looking up, Quanxi realizes that night has fallen, with the newfound darkness enhancing Santa Clause's powers even further. She moves forward and hits Denji towards a gas station, whilst grabbing the various bolts fired by Quanxi out of the air. Quanxi turns, seeing that Santa Claus has turned Long and Pingtsi's corpses into dolls, and taken Tsugihagi hostage. Unable to bring herself to fight them, Quanxi is stabbed through the chest by the Pingtsi Doll, as Santa Claus wonders whether she could turn Quanxi into a doll.

Suddenly, Denji emerges, coating himself in gasoline. Revving his chainsaws together, he creates a spark, igniting himself on fire. Leaping towards Santa Claus, he begins to slice into her body, as she lets out a series of pained cries.
