Last week's chapter of Chainsaw Man left us with a rather epic, sad and brutal moment, all at the same time, as we saw Denji totally controlled by Makima, which is later attacked by a group of agents commanded by Kishibe. The agents sacrifice themselves and invoke the "Devil of Hell" to kill Makima. However, when faced with such a massacre, Makima asks Denji for help, and then shows us how a new transformation of the protagonist completely massacres this devil , thus ending the chapter. A chapter that was undoubtedly quite bloody, but also short. And the chapter of this week, maintains the levels of epicity, although with a little more information regarding the Chainsaw Man.
And without further ado, the chapter review:
Chainsaw Man 84 "The Hero of Hell", begins by showing us a survivor of the sacrifice to invoke the Devil of Hell, and this one gives him some of his blood to revive once again, since in the last chapter, Denji destroyed it completely. Later, a door opens in heaven, from which a huge hand emerges and literally pushes Denji/Chainsaw Man to hell itself.
After this, Kishibe is shown before a fully recovered Makima, since in the last chapter she had been riddled with bullets, however, due to her contract with the Prime Minister of Japan, she was able to revive, since this contract consists of any damage she receives being transformed into diseases or any kind of accidents that will be directed to any citizen of Japan, which makes her practically immortal. In addition to being an expert manipulator, she is immortal.
Makima and Kishibe have a conversation, which reveals part of the Chainsaw Man's past, and Makima says she has always been a "fan" of him, because of all he is capable of doing. The Chainsaw Man is considered by Makima as the Hero of Hell.
Because of his brutality, the demons of Hell are afraid of the Chainsaw Man. Over the years he has been involved in the death of hundreds of demons. However, here we are revealed the real reason why the Chainsaw Man is feared, since his ability consists of eliminating from existence every being, thing, thought, practically everything he eats, in such a way that he can eliminate almost anything from existence and thus eliminate its history.
After such a revelation, Makima asks her if she remembers the Nazis, to which he is surprised, he does not know what she is talking about, and it is because thanks to the power of the Chainsaw Man, he was able to eliminate the existence of the Nazis, so only she remembers them. She also tells us things like: World War II, AIDS, nuclear weapons, have already been eliminated from existence.
However, Makima's plans do not end there, because she plans to continue using the power of the Chainsaw Man to create a better world, a world without poverty, death, famine, war, among other things. The chapter ends by showing us Denji/Chainsaw Man arriving from hell with a cascade of blood and guts falling on him.
I've said it before, but Chainsaw Man is an anti-theory manga, it's very difficult to theorize what the author of this manga can do next with his story. And now this new twist of the plot shows, besides how psychotic and manipulative Makima can be, it also shows us that for her, the end justifies the means, since throughout her journey with "creating a better world" she has used, manipulated and sacrificed many people. Makima is undoubtedly one of the best villains/anti-heroes of the manga.
