Chapter 59

Mess (めちゃくちゃ, Mechakucha) is the 59th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
Throughout the cities, the four main parties- Tolka and the woman; Aldo; the Elderly Man and Quanxi- all prepare to begin hunting Denji. Elsewhere, in a building, Makima walks through a cluster of doll-like corpses. She orders Beam and Prinz to go and protect Denji, whilst making the protection of the other Hunters a secondary objective.

At a department store, the Elderly Man watches Denji and the others through a window. From a distance, he commands his dolls to attack the group once they enter the building. Following the group inside, the doll's arms warp into blades. However, as they enter through the door, Kusakabe is revealed to be crouching inside of a ritual circle. Using the power of the Stone Devil, he petrifies the dolls. Yoshida explains the power of the Doll Devil, stating that if they touch any part of a person (including clothes), they will be transformed into a subservient doll. As Aki suggests that there would be a limit to the amount that could be made, a large swarm of dolls suddenly burst through the windows, charging towards the group.

As they run to the second floor, Power is suddenly grabbed. As her and Denji rip the dolls to pieces, Kusakabe realises that Fiends are likely immune to the Doll Devil's powers. As more swarm, a Hunter named Nakamura suddenly appears, summoning the Fox Devil to swipe them away. Tamaoki explains that there were Hunters stationed in every building in the street, and that the mission's true purpose was to hunt the assassin creating the dolls: Santa Claus. Explaining that those turned into Dolls can never be restored, he notes that the abilities short range means the assassin is nearby, and apologizes to Denji for using him as bait.

The woman sits at a nearby theme park, waiting. Nearby, Tolka clutches his nail, preparing the use it on Denji. In the bathroom of the department store, Aldo sits, psyching himself up for the coming conflict. The Elderly Man summons another swam of Dolls to attack, as Kobeni attempts to repair the dent in her car, and Quanxi prepares to hunt.
