This chapter of Chainsaw Man enters as one of the best of the whole manga, since besides being a quite sad chapter due to the events that happen, it shows us a quite logical and very well developed character evolution, besides giving us a farewell according to the character. A beautiful as well as sad chapter. The last chapter brought us the resurrection of Power, which due to the fact that in the past, Denji consumed his blood, a portion of it was living inside Denji, after Power's death and consequently the fight between Chainsaw Man/Denji vs Makima and his simps, due to the defeat of Chainsaw Man, Pochita, which is still inside Denji's body, used the remaining portion of Power and made him revive in a totally new and powerful way, he confronted Makima, however, Makima is a beast in every sense, so in the end Power "betrayed" Denji, saying that he would give him up, in this chapter we will see what will really happen.
But without further delay the review of the chapter:
Chainsaw Man 91 "Power, Power, Power" begins just as the last chapter ended, Makima tells Power to place the Chainsaw Man on the floor, however, Power is totally immobile and at that moment begins to remember all the good times he has spent with Denji, which logically makes her doubt about what he is doing.
So in the face of such memories, Power attacks Makima and begins to run away, taking Denji with her, while screaming at herself that why is she doing this, since she knows she doesn't stand a chance against Makima. However, Power keeps running away carrying Denji with her by nature because the love and affection she feels for Denji is stronger. While on the run, she is chased by the Makima simps and is attacked several times.
We see a little memory of her in the past, I estimate that is when just "born" Power, so to speak, in the memory she is seen running totally naked, while she goes to say that: "Just like her own life, the lives of others are trivial, so it is not worth crying over, however, in spite of that, she does not want Denji to die, since he is her first friend". All this happens while Power, quite destroyed by the attacks of the Makima simps, escapes with Denji, enters an alley and the two of them enter a trash can.
"Inside the garbage container", we see Denji and Power, however these two characters are in their human forms, totally clean and even with their clothes intact, so they are not there physically, they are in Denji's "inner world". And this is where the sad part of this chapter comes in. After an exchange of looks, Power hugs Denji and tells him that he came to save him, however, a totally defeated and depressed Denji responds that he is fine since he has been able to do things that he never thought he would do in his life, like going out with a girl, playing video games, eating and even sleeping next to her, with all those things compared to his previous life was like a dream come true.
Besides, there is nothing waiting for him in life anymore, adding also that, she (Power) is not there with him. At such words, Power begins to insult him and asks him if he misses her so much that he can't do anything and Denji answers "yes". Here we see how Denji has fallen into an emotional hole, nothing else matters to him in life, after having a shitty life and going from that to having friends, food, a family, compared to his previous life is a paradise, that's why Aki's death and Power's subsequent death, made Denji enter a level of depression so great that he no longer cares about life. It's really sad this moment.
Continuing, Power explains to Denji that when demons die, they are reborn again in hell, but without memories, so if the two of them meet again they will be enemies. Therefore Power tells him to find The Blood Devil, to find him, to become friends and to turn The Blood Devil back into Power, as they will be friends again.
Power makes a contract with Denji, which consists of her giving him all her blood, but in return Denji must found her. Denji wakes up and comes out of the dumpster, remembering Power's words and shedding tears at what has just happened. Power is gone, but now he has a reason to continue living and that reason is to bring Power back.
When Denji wakes up, Kishibe is next to him and tells him that if he is Denji he will help him get rid of Makima, but if he is the Chainsaw Man he will go back to the garbage dumpster to sleep.
Denji does not say a word, but responds to Kishibe by showing him the symbol of peace, demonstrating that he is Denji and that he is back.
What a beautiful and at the same time sad chapter, they gave us a beautiful evolution of character with Power, a character who at the beginning only cared about herself and her cat, but the experiences she had with Denji, formed a connection and an improvement in her that even sacrificed for the good of her friend, besides giving her a reason for Denji to continue living. This chapter is a reflection of what happened in the first chapter of this manga, there are pages that are a reinterpretation of chapter one, it is really a marvel the parallelism that Fujimoto captured. I think this time there is little left to finish and I am sure it will be a bit of a bitter end.
