Chapter 25

Ghost, Snake, Chainsaw (ゴースト・ヘビ・チェンソー, Gōsuto Hebi Chensō) is the 25th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
Aki, heavily injured by the attack, falls to the floor. Sawatari comments how the wounds are likely nonfatal due to Devil Hunter suits being reinforced, but orders Katana Man to finish him.

Himeno tells Power to forget her and help Aki, however Power refuses, believing herself to be far outmatched. Himeno attempts to summon the Ghost Devil, but it refuses out of fear of Sawatari. As a last resort to save Aki, Himeno offers her 'everything' to the Ghost Devil. The Devil's grimace quickly turns to a smile as its true, giant form is revealed.

The Ghost Devil attacks Katana Man. With each attack, Himeno loses more of her body. As she does, she thinks about Aki, and remarks on how unusual it is that he was still able to cry, as most Devil Hunters grow emotionally stunted over time. As Aki looks at her, she tells him not to die, as she wants someone to be able to cry over her death.

Sawatari summons the Snake Devil, ordering it to devour the Ghost Devil. It does, leaving nothing left of Himeno asides from her clothes. Sawatari and Katana Man turn to Denji, stating that their goal is to take his heart. As they do, however, the Ghost Devil's dying hand is shown floating towards his body. It pulls the cord on his chest, reawakening and transforming him. Though he is confused by the current situation, he instantly recognizes Katana Man and Sawatari as enemies, excitedly charging at them, stating he "Loves Bad Guys, Because No One Gives A Fuck How Badly [he] Murders Them".
