Chapter 44

Boom Boom Boom (バン バン バン, Ban ban ban) is the 44th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
Conflicted, Denji asks why Reze wants to run away with him. She responds she 'likes' him. Though Denji admits he's tempted, he explains that he's growing more happy with and getting used to his current position, and his increasing position amongst the bureau, as well as bettered relationships with Aki and Power, are not things he's willing to give up so quickly. He asks if he can still see her despite this, but she asks if he has someone else he likes before kissing him deeply. After a few moments, Denji falls backwards, and it is revealed Reze bit off his tongue.

Denji moves to try and pull his cord, however Reze swiftly slices off his hand before he can. Kneeling close and holding him gently, Reze kisses him again, before apologizing and calmly telling him she intends to take his heart. Before she can move, however, Beam bursts from the floor and grabs Denji, fleeing with him down the hill. As he runs, Beam curses at himself for not recognizing her smell: The smell of a bomb.

As he says this, Reze pulls a pin out of her choker, and her head and right arm explode. They quickly reform, revealing her transformed state: That of a Bomb Devil-Hybrid. Calling Beam a "Thief", Reze uses a powerful blast to launch herself at the duo, crashing in-front of them in an instant.
