What to expect (speculative)
Chainsaw Man episode 12 will most likely kick off with a focus on Aki, who currently finds himself in the hands of Himeno’s former contractor, the Ghost Devil. While it’s unlikely that Aki dies in the upcoming episode, the series has certainly made a point of emphasizing that no one is safe. With this in mind, the possibility, albeit a slim one, exists that fans will indeed see Aki die.
On Chainsaw Man episode 12, viewers will instead likely see someone come to Aki’s aid while Denji and Power search other areas of the hotel for the Katana Man. A majority of the episode is expected to focus on these three individuals, with not much else to spend time on that’s more important than these current events.
Finally, fans can also expect some anime-original scenes to play out at some point, with a below-average chapter count remaining for adaptation in the upcoming finale episode. Similarly, fans may finally see the highly anticipated trailer scene of Aki and Himeno in bed with each other, confirming the two at least had a romantic relationship.
