What to expect (speculative)

With the previous episode all but wrapping up the Bat Devil arc, fans can most likely count on the latter half of Chainsaw Man Episode 5 to set up the next arc, Eternity Devil. Meanwhile, the first one-third to the first half of the episode will focus on Denji finally getting his reward for the heroism demonstrated during the Bat Devil arc.

In between the sections, fans will most likely see further interaction between Tokyo Special Division 4 as a whole, potentially with Makima in the mix as well. It’s also entirely possible that MAPPA Studios will choose to add further anime-original scenes to the series in the new episode, potentially expanding upon aspects of the show that the manga couldn’t cover.

This might involve demonstrating the relationship Power, Denji, and Aki share with one another. While difficult to call a bond in its current state, fans can count on the trio warming up to each other in Chainsaw Man Episode 5 and beyond, becoming the family unit they’re clearly being set up to be.
