What to expect (speculative)
Chainsaw Man Episode 6 will most likely focus on the continuation of the Eternity Devil arc. With no filler all but confirmed for the manga’s first anime season, fans will at most see some anime-only scenes meant to further characterize members of Special Division 4. However, even this seems unlikely for a few major reasons.
Firstly, Chainsaw Man Episode 6 will mark the halfway point of the series’ first cour, which has teased covering the entire Katana Man arc multiple times.
The Katana Man arc will cover 17 chapters, easily being the longest arc of the season thus far. Meanwhile, the Eternity Devil arc is 9 chapters long, the Bat Devil arc is also 9 chapters long, and the introduction arc is 4 chapters long.
Assuming Chainsaw Man Episode 6 does see the end of the Eternity Devil arc, this will leave 6 episodes to cover 17 chapters of material. While still averaging out to a respectable pace, pushing the Eternity Devil arc beyond the upcoming episode in any way only further complicates the pacing of the Katana Man arc.
As a result, fans can expect the upcoming episode to near-fully finish out the Eternity Devil arc, setting viewers up for the incredibly exciting Katana Man arc in the weeks to come.
