Chapter 18

Chainsaw vs. Eternity (チェンソー) is the 18th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
As the Eternity Devil looms towards the group, Kobeni and Arai demand they feed Denji to it. Aki decides to use 'The Sword' to get them out, however Himeno binds him, explaining that using such a weapon will massively shorten his lifespan.

Arai and Kobeni lunge at Denji, however Aki blocks them and is stabbed instead. He explains that though he doesn't like Denji, he needs all the allies he can get to defeat the Gun Devil, and so is willing to sacrifice his own well-being in order to protect Denji. Shocked, Denji orders Power to stop Aki's bleeding.

Seeing Aki's injured state, and a vision of her former partners' graves, Himeno suffers a breakdown. Frustrated, Denji accepts his fate of being eaten, but informs the group he plans on "fighting back" regardless. Having noticed the Devil scream as Himeno attacked it, Denji realises that though the creature is invulnerable, it still feels pain. Therefore, Denji plans to injure the creature to the point of inducing suicide. The group is shocked by his "devilish way of thinking". As he leaps into the maw of the Devil, Denji comments on Aki's foolhardiness and remarks that the pair are now even.

For a brief moment, the Devil fully swallows Denji, before he explodes out of its mouth in his Chainsaw form. He begins slicing into the Devil, as the others look on in horror at his transformation. Power comments on the danger Denji is in, as he gradually loses blood and his time in the Chainsaw form is reduced.
