That was very clear from the start Chainsaw Man wasn’t going to be an easily digestible anime for fans who have become accustomed to the different characters. Without Pochita’s intervention, the protagonist Denji would have already died in the first episode. Not even two months later, there was the anime’s first outstanding death.
In Chainsaw Man 1×08, two enemies appeared that disturbed the quiet life of the protagonists. Denji and the others had recovered from the fight with the Devil Eternity, but were immediately thrown into the fight due to an attack by a group of as-yet-unidentified villains. And it was above all a character who landed right in the middle.
She was there in the fight against the two new devils Himeno is said to have the worst. Akis Senpai, who seemed so eager to conquer him, unleashed her devil’s power, but it wasn’t enough to stay alive. So nothing was left of her but the bandage, some of her clothes and a little bit of blood, which left Aki amazed. Not only that, even Chainsaw Man fans were stunned.
There was a flood of tweets on Twitter for the Himeno’s death, with so many crying faces and incredulous looks. And how did you take his death? And yet another character doesn’t seem to be in good shape, but more will be known in Chainsaw Man 1×09.

The atmosphere of the first half and the second half suddenly changes like a roller coaster ride.
That’s the fun of Chainsaw Man.
Himeno’s death scene is the pain, but it was beautiful.β Mana (@manarock69) November 30, 2022
Makima’s ambush and Himeno’s death are masterfully staged, either retaining footage to keep the suspense alive or using blur as a sense of disorientation.
works very well overall. pic.twitter.com/rOryuCptqt

Himeno’s Death was an excellent adaptation with excellent directing that resonated well with Kensuke Ushio’s tragedy score, pain and despair that she might not have much time left to live when she made the decision to save him were contributed perfectly. .. pic.twitter.com/EpvM2OK746

By far the highlight of the episode, everything that happens is shown clearly but the focus is on Himeno’s inner monologue with a powerful ost and a painful sudden but gradual death as she loses every part, very gruesome, the animation is incredible , if she isn’t cg either pic.twitter.com/Xou8fL4PRx
