Chapter 26

The Gun is Mightier (銃は強し, Jū wa tsuyoshi) is the 26th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
Sawatari, noting she is missing fingernails, calls for backup over a walkie talkie. She looks at Aki, who is in shock over Himeno's fate.

Denji and Katana Man's fighting continues, with Katana Man showing the ability to slash large areas with a single strike. Two backups agents arrive, firing guns at Denji. Though he is shot, he is able to knock both down, and takes one as a hostage. Angrily, Katana Man slices through both of them, cutting them in half at a speed Denji was unable to register. Picking up Denji's top half, Katana Man orders the other agent to get a car, remarking that the other members of the 4th Division are likely dead due to their human vulnerability to guns.

The scene cuts, showing the corpses of Arai, Fushi, Himeno, Makima, and two other Hunters who were at the drinking party. In Makima's train carriage, the assassins plan to blend in with the civilians. However, they are interrupted by Makima standing up, who has miraculously survived.

At the station, two Hunters, Kurose and Tendo, wait. They are shocked to hear news of Makima's death, before seeing her step out of the train towards them. Makima informs them of the attack, as they remark on similar attacks in Tokyo. They note the blood on her clothes, but she tells them she was not hit in the gunfight. The final panel shows the bodies of the train assassins, each with gaping holes in their chests.
