Chapter 19

Nobel Prize (ノーベル賞, Nōberu-shō) is the 19th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary
The Eternity Devil continues biting into Denji, resulting in Denji losing enough blood to retract his chainsaw arms. The Devil laughs, until it is interrupted by Denji biting it back, and regaining his chainsaws.

As Himeno looks on, she has a flashback of seeing Kishibe in a graveyard. He comments on how the best Devil Hunters are those with "a few screws loose", due to their lack of fear resulting in the Devils being weakened. Kishibe warns Himeno of Aki's genuine intention to defeat the Gun Devil, and recommends she train him as quickly as possible for such an eventuality. Troubled, she later offers Aki a relaxed position in the Civilian Sector, but he flat out refuses. Himeno thinks with certainty that the Gun Devil would kill Aki, however has a moment of hesitation.

In the present, Denji continues to tear into the Eternity Devil. Moments later, he collapses of exhaustion, as the Devil celebrates. However, Himeno uses the Ghost Devil to pull Denji's cord, reawakening him. Denji suddenly realizes that by drinking the blood of the Eternity Devil, he can quickly recover his wounds and stamina, meaning he can continue attacking indefinitely.

Three days later, now exhausted and weak, the group agree to go drinking upon their escape. As the Eternity Devil lays in tattered pieces, it reveals its heart to Denji, begging him to kill it and end its suffering. Denji obliges, commenting "What, it's over already?".
