A demon makes Denji suffer with memories in the last chapter of Chainsaw Man
#chainsawman126 The fact that Denji has to physically SLICE HIS BRAIN APART just to handle the trauma of Aki and Power’s deaths is actually fucked up on so many levels.

It’s apparent that Denji hasn’t had time to grieve his losses and would rather cut out his brain than face his traumas. This is exactly what has happened in Chainsaw Man manga chapter 126Well, when Denji arrives to face the Demon of the Fall, he activates one of his powers, which is to revive the person’s worst fears and memories. In Denji’s case, what happens is most overwhelming and frustrating than many imagined, since it relives the death of Aki Hayakawa and Power again in a very painful way.
When Denji sees these images in his mind, he is so desperate that he decides to mutilate his head to stop thinking and that is how one of the most unexpected scenes in history. This is likely not the first demon that has tried to use psychological attacks on him, as some fans speculate that Denji has made some kind of rule or pact so that his head is mutilated when he receives these types of mental attacks.
In conclusion, this chapter has made it clear that Denji’s trauma continues to affect him deeply and resolving this issue is one of the darkest Chainsaw Man curiosities of all. Despite everything he’s been through, the deaths of his friends are still a weight on your heart. It is evident that Denji needs time to face his pain and heal from it, but with the appearance of new villains, it seems that his suffering will end soon, although there is still much to be seen in the following chapters of the Chainsaw Man manga.
Despite the darkness and pain that surround Denji, the protagonist remains strong at all times and is sure that he is determined to avenge the loved ones he has lost.

The story has won numerous awards, including the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2021 and Best Manga at the Harvey Awards for two consecutive years.
