Episode 8

Gunfire is the eighth episode of the Chainsaw Man anime series.

Synopsis
Denji experiences his first, yet devastating, kiss. An intoxicated Denji is taken to Himeno's house, where she starts seducing him. Feeling torn between Makima, whom he admires, and Himeno, who is standing in front of him, he decides to fall into temptation. However, Denji then finds something in his pocket: The Chupa Chups lollipop that Makima gave him.

Summary
Himeno takes Denji to her place and puts him on her bed. She then goes to take a shower and after that opens a beer. She hears Denji waking up and asking for water and goes and gives him beer with her mouth. Himeno then wonders why is Denji there and if she brought him home. She guesses that Denji loves Makima and is annoyed a bit as Aki also loves her. She lies next to Denji and tells him they should do it. Denji wonder what she means and Himeno states its sex. She tells him to raise his hands and starts taking off his shirt. Denji wonders if that is really okay as his first kiss was supposed to be with Makima, but gave it to Himeno, who vomited in his mouth and if he wants his first time to be taken by Himeno too, but quickly confirms it for himself. Himeno proceeds to take off his pants, but finds Chupa Chups in his pocket.

Seeing the Chupa Chups, Denji recalls a bit earlier when he wasn't feeling good due to the vomit and Makima told him to go outside for some fresh air. Makima then brought him some nausea medicine. Denji shares that he had a bad first kiss and even if he kiss a different woman now, he will be thinking of the taste of vomit. Makima was licking a Chupa Chups and pulls it out and puts it into Denji's mouth. She tells him that he probably won't forget the taste of vomit, but he will experience all kinds of first tastes, and for example his first indirect kiss tastes like a cola-flavored Chupa Chups. Himeno had fallen asleep, while Denji is lying on the ground next to bed. He looks at the Chupa Chups and apologizes to Pochita, but states he wants to save his first time for Makima.

In the morning, Himeno wakes up Denji and while they eat breakfast, she explains she doesn't remember anything from last night and wonders if she did anything to Denji. He tells her that he won't do it with a vomit lady and is saving his first time for Makima. Himeno is glad as otherwise she could be arrested for doing it with a minor. After a moment, she adds that Denji is strange and most people would have felt uncomfortable and left by now. But Denji doesn't understand why would he leave when there is free food. Himeno guesses that he loves Makima and wonders if he will still love her even if she had a bad personality. As Denji confirms, Himeno decides to help him and set him up with her. Himeno offers a secret alliance, she will help him with Makima, while Denji helps her with Aki. Denji agrees and Himeno states they are no longer senior and junior, but friends. She tells him he can come sometimes for breakfast with Aki and Power, but Denji wonders if Makima would come too.

Makima is in the train heading to Kyoto to meet with her bosses. She doesn't really want to meet them as she finds them scary and wants to buy a lunchbox. In a tunnel, a bit before Kyoto, the men sitting in the front and behind Makima, pull out guns and shoot her along with her assistant. The men make a call and states they can start the operation.

Division 4 members are all out on different missions, but then all of them get attacked. Denji, Himeno, Aki and Power are eating at a ramen shop. Denji hears some gunshots, but Power states it was drums. A man can't believe Denji is eating ramen freely and wonders if it doesn't taste terrible. Denji states it taste fine to him, but the man adds that he can't judge the taste of food. He guesses that's understandable as he only ate the same thing as a child. The man adds that his grandpa was the nicest person and brought him to fancy restaurants all the time. He was yakuza, but was a necessary evil and only killed a few women and children. The man then pulls out a picture of him and his grandpa, who is the yakuza that was hiring Denji as devil hunter. He explains that the Gun Devil wants Denji's heart and then pulls out a gun and shoots Denji in the head. He proceeds to shoot at the others, but Power punches him and Aki uses the Fox Devil, eating the man. Aki then look around and sees that Denji and Himeno are shot. The Fox Devil tells Aki that he put something monstrous in her mouth, which is nor a human, nor a devil. The man then transformed similarly as Denji, but with swords instead of chainsaws, opens the Fox Devil head and comes out.

Aki pulls out his sword and tells Power to stop Himeno's bleeding. Power is surprised to see that Aki's sword is actually a large nail. As the Katana Man stands, Aki pierce him with his sword and a devil states "three". They start fighting and Aki pierce him a second time, with the devil stating "two". He immediately pierce him one more time with the devil stating "one". The man pushes Aki away, having enough of him, but Aki then asks the Curse Devil to kill him. The Curse Devil then states "zero" and appears grabbing the man and killing him.

Aki wonders how is Himeno and Power states she needs to be taken to the hospital. Aki adds that only police officers and Devil Hunters can have guns in Japan. A woman then shows up, guessing that if Aki runs his nail through someone a few times, the Curse Devil will kill him. Aki wonders from where he came and if he is an ally to that man. She places her hand on Katana Man and makes him stand up. She wonders how he lost and Katana Man states he let his guard down. She tells him to then go and kill. Katana Man then takes a stance and in an instant moves past Aki, while slashing him. As Aki is still alive, she tells Katana Man to finish him off. Himeno tells Power to help Aki, but Power refuses as he couldn't even see Katana Man's attack. Himeno calls the Ghost Devil, but the devil states that the woman is scary. Himeno spits some blood, guessing that this is her end, she offers to give all of herself to the Ghost Devil if she can use the whole Ghost Devil. The Ghost Devil accepts and fully appears, and then engages Katana Man in a fight. Himeno states that the devil hunters get used to death and stop crying, but Aki always cries when his newbies die, and it must be a good feeling to have someone care and cry for you. Himeno loses her both arms, but the Ghost Devil overpowers Katana Man. Himeno tells Aki to not die and when she dies, she hopes that he can cry for her. Katana Man asks for help and the woman calls the Snake Devil, which the bites off the Ghost Devil's head. Ghost Devil is defeated and Aki turns towards Himeno, but sees that only her clothes remain.
