- Eastern Standard Time: 11:00 am, Tuesday, December 20

What to expect (speculative)
Chainsaw Man Episode 11 will almost certainly open with the continuation of Aki’s discussion with the Future Devil. With the previous episode ending when the two locked eyes with each other, it’s almost a certainty that the next installment will begin with their contracting with each other.
Chainsaw Man Episode 11 will also likely provide some finality to Denji and Power’s training, with the two yet to receive a stamp of approval from their trainer. With this likely being a necessary development before Division 4’s counterattack begins, fans will most likely see it occur in the episode’s opening scenes.
The episode is expected to focus on Division 4’s counterattack versus Katana Man’s group. While this hasn’t exactly been confirmed, it’s unlikely that Makima and company will allow the group to continue their activities without some sort of repercussion. As a result, fans can count on an episode that has a slow start but will rush to an exciting, action-heavy conclusion.
