Two Children (
Summary[]
Yoru - back when she still had her left arm - is shown sitting in a bathtub reaching for a bar of soap. Gliding into her hand it transforms into a sword. She shows her weapon off to Asa, who isn't surprised. She explains how when she turned her apartment into a weapon she could do so without stating its name. Yoru explains it's a sign they're growing stronger, but it still isn't enough to stop Chainsaw Man. Due to the Pseudo-Chainsaw Men, the Chainsaw Devil only grows stronger alongside the fear of war, and as of such she can't surpass him. Asa suggests that Yoru buries the hatchet, as not only is everyone remembering how horrifying war is, she also knows defeating Denji won't make her happy.
Yoru explains that this isn't just a matter of pride for her; she wants to rescue the comrades she once had which he swallowed. Asa asks if she has a way to achieve this goal, to which she confirms that she has two. Asa asks why not just use these weapons instead of burning through her college savings and rendering her homeless, but Yoru explains how doing so would completely invalidate her plan to save her compatriots. She exclaims, however, that she'll do anything to prove she's the more fearsome devil.
Back in the present, Yoru wonders if she'd be willing to turn her own children into weapons for the sake of her desire, to which she realises that she would. Extending her nonexistent arms, she calls upon both the Gun and the Tank Devils; both of whom are locked in containment cells in the Mount Elbrus and the Gulf of Mexico respectively. Now with two fully formed arms - one gun, one tank - she mimics Makima's "bang" and shoots off one of the Chainsaw Devil's arms. Summoning her "children" also ripped a hole in the Chainsaw Devil's stomach, freeing the Mouth Devil.

Trivia[]
- The reading chosen for the title specifically chooses the "shi" reading for "children" as it's homophonous with the Japanese word for death - something the Tank and Gun Devils bring in excess.
