Chainsaw Man episode 5 preview hints at the start of Eternity Devil Arc
Chainsaw Man episode 5, titled Gun Devil, will look into Denji's new life as he lives with Power and Aki at the Hayakawa residence. In the last episode, we saw Power willing to allow Denji to rub her chest after he saved her and Meowy from the Bat Devil and Aki. In the upcoming episode, we will see Denji succeed in his dream.
Chainsaw Man episode 5 will also see Denji have a risque moment with Makima, as he might talk to her about his first experience in getting close to a woman. After this, the latter will make a deal with Denji, explaining to him about one of the most notorious devils, the Gun Devil.
The episode is also set to look into the past of both Himeno and Aki as both have witnessed the deaths of their close ones. The former had witnessed all of her partners pass away in front of her. The preview showed a younger Aki standing next to Himeno as she paid her respects to one of her former partners at a graveyard.
Meanwhile, Aki lost his family to the Gun Devil, who attacked Japan when he was young. Since then, Aki has sworn to defeat the Gun Devil and carries one of its bullets as a reminder of his goal.
The episode might also feature the start of the Eternity Devil Arc as the Public Safety Devil Extermination Division 4 is seen walking together in a hotel as the rooms in the background seem to multiply infinitely.
The upcoming episode may reveal more about the new members that were introduced in the previous episode, given how all of them were sent to work on a mission together.
