Chainsaw Man Episode 12 Closes With Hints at a Potential Second Season
It’s safe to say that Chainsaw Man has received the most attention among the Fall 2022 anime titles as a result of Studio MAPPA’s stellar team’s adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s contemporary folklore into animation. Even though its last episode has already broadcast, talk about it is not going to stop anytime soon. This is due in part to the fact that, despite the fact that the first season has come to an end, it left spectators with enough hints that, between hypotheses and debates about the programme itself, fans will be pleading for a second season to fully explore these mysteries.
The last moments of Public Safety’s attack on the terrorists who devastated their soldiers and tried to capture Denji are covered in episode 12, “KATANA VS. CHAINSAW.” With assistance from Kobeni and some guidance from his deceased comrade, Aki was able to defeat the uncooperative Ghost Devil and capture Sawatari, the attack’s planner. After leaving Power to her own ways and killing the remaining zombies from the Zombie Devil, Denji then engaged Samurai Sword in what was perhaps the season’s most dramatic combat. Denji, Aki, and Power celebrated their revenge with some healthy and well-deserved tranquilly after passing fast and terrible judgement on their foes. However, with a few puzzles still unanswered, the genuine danger could be approaching.
How Did Samurai Sword Merge With a Devil?
The yakuza boss’s grandson, who enslaved Denji, seems to be a rather modest man at first view. Even when it was revealed that he, like Denji, possessed a Devil’s heart in place of his own, it seemed that all he was doing was seeking some kind of misdirected revenge for the sake of his grandpa. However, the anime’s first season concludes without ever addressing the central mystery of his persona, notably how he got to be a Devil-human hybrid in the first place. Due to his sacrificial fusion with Pochita, Denji was previously thought to be a completely unique instance. However, Samurai Sword reveals that there are many more cases much like him.
His criminal accomplice Sawatari may be able to provide some answers. She was unfortunately killed by her own Snake Devil at the conclusion. Makima, who reported Sawatari’s death to the oversight committee, seemed unfazed and unconcerned as usual, suggesting that everything went according to plan, despite the higher-ups at Public Safety’s speculation that it might have been either suicide or a requirement in a deal with the Gun Devil dependent upon her defeat.
Where Is the Gun Devil Hiding?
Due to Makima’s alleged manipulation of the Samurai Sword incident, she was given control over all of Public Safety’s Special Divisions. Even while it would be a significant power move on its own, killing the Gun Devil—possibly the most infamous menace to mankind in the Chainsaw Man universe—may be her ultimate goal. Despite having a profound effect on civilization all around the globe, the Gun Devil apparently disappeared after wreaking havoc.
Only official organisations like Japan’s Department of Public Safety were legally permitted to gather the shards of the Gun Devil’s flesh, which had a magnetic property to each other and the Gun Devil itself, due to the extent of the Gun Devil’s mass devastation. According to Makima’s assessment, Samurai Sword and Sawatari had a sizable number of these pieces, which helps to explain why she would have wished to smoke them out of hiding. It seems that the accumulated shards have now grown big enough to advance toward the Gun Devil’s primary body, wherever it may be, thanks to their combined volume.
What Is Behind the Door in Denji’s Dreams?
Denji’s dreams serve as the setting for one of the season’s concluding sequences, visually bookending it with the anime’s opening sequence. Pochita’s voice may be heard and one unsettling eye can be seen on the other side when Denji approaches a broken-down metal door in the scene. While Pochita continues to caution against it, implying that there could be some sort of horrible menace lurking behind it, Denji would dearly want to open the gateway, enabling him to rejoin with his beloved dog, if only in his dreams. Given that other Devils, including the infamous Gun Devil, have wished to steal Denji’s heart from Pochita, this may indicate a dreadful secret about Pochita’s actual strength that is concealed beyond the door.
Denji could discover that the greatest risks in the next season are inside himself since earlier episodes suggested that he might also lose his humanity. Thankfully, Denji and Aki and Power ultimately came to an understanding in the closing moments of the episode, maybe even becoming a true relationship rather than simply being reluctant allies. In addition, a small snippet of a strange character’s voice speaking to Denji in the season’s last seconds asks him a puzzling question. Denji may find himself able to depend on more individuals as his network expands, yet this might put him at risk of losing even more.
Although a second season has not yet been formally announced, given the popularity of the show, one is very certainly on the way. There are undoubtedly many mysteries, difficulties, and conundrums that need to be resolved in later seasons. However, fans may be certain that when Chainsaw Man eventually makes a comeback, they will likely find it to be just as exciting and gory as when they last watched it.
