Chapter 117

Penguin and Weapon (ペンギンと) is the 117th Chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga.

Summary
As he is awaiting Asa to complete her plan, Denji realises he’s letting himself mindlessly obey someone else yet again just because she said she’d grant any request. Before he could think any harder about it, he notices a Gentoo penguin right before him. Picking it up, the effect of Asa’s deal takes place, with the whole building turning into a spear whilst leaving the Eternity Devil exposed in the open. Said talks mocks Asa for even thinking that 1 million yen is remotely near enough to buy an aquarium, before cursing at Fami, saying that Asa’s actions weren’t part of the deal they made.

Before they can land a hit on Asa, however, the Eternity Devil’s arm is caught by a tentacle, with Yoshida mockingly remarking that the devil helped him appreciate life more. Yoru takes over Asa’s body, remarking how the latter feels guilt over destroying the aquarium. She flings the spear into Eternity’s chest, impaling him in a single strike and exploding, releasing all the aquatic wildlife that was kept there. The other Devil Hunter Club members are stunned, with Haruka theorising aloud who Asa truly is, and Denji being too distracted playing with the penguin to notice Asa’s actions. Fami is shown watching the scene unfold from a nearby rooftop, remarking how she has to try something else, which Yoshida is able to notice.

The devil hunter club members are then shown talking to some suited figures about the incident, whilst a surviving aquarium staff member takes the penguin Denji had, much to his disappointment. He walks Asa home, with the latter remarking how badly the date had gone. Denji says that he managed to touch a penguin, so there was at least a silver lining to it. Reminding her that she promised she’d fulfil any request, he asks her out on another date, saying that since he’s more experienced he could teach her how to enjoy herself more. Asa agrees with the proposition, with Denji flashing a peace sign in response.

Yoru appears, saying that since the two of them share the same brain, they’re feeling the exact same emotion - love - much to her annoyance and Asa’s embarrassment. Still, Yoru decides that they must continue with the plan, taking over their body and proceeding to attempt to turn Denji into a spinal cord sword just like how she did with the former class president.
