4. Chainsaw Man vs. Katana Man: Denji’s Victory Thanks to Kishibe’s Teachings

After severing both of Chainsaw Man’s arms, Katana Man was convinced that the fight was over. To him, it was impossible for Chainsaw Man to continue the battle without his arms.

However, Chainsaw Man refused to give up. He told Katana Man that he could still fight using the chainsaw on his head. Katana Man then launched his ultimate strike, aiming his sword directly at Chainsaw Man’s head. In this clash of power, Katana Man succeeded in shattering the chainsaw on Chainsaw Man’s head into pieces.

Yet, Chainsaw Man thanked Katana Man for targeting the chainsaw on his head. Unbeknownst to Katana Man, those words were just a diversion. Chainsaw Man had been preparing a hidden attack using the chainsaw on his leg.

Since Katana Man believed that Chainsaw Man would only use the chainsaw on his head, he didn’t anticipate an attack from another direction. As a result, the surprise attack with Chainsaw Man’s leg saw successfully cleaved Katana Man’s body in half, ending the battle with a decisive victory for Chainsaw Man.

#4 The Fourth Reason Chainsaw Man Defeated Katana Man:

Denji successfully applied a crucial lesson from his training with Kishibe. He mimicked a trick that Kishibe once used—pretending that their training session was over.

When Denji let his guard down, celebrating Kishibe’s “departure,” Kishibe suddenly attacked him with a knife that struck him directly in the forehead. From that experience, Kishibe taught Denji never to trust an enemy’s words. This valuable lesson became the key to Denji’s victory over Katana Man, thanks to a clever trick that completely fooled his opponent.
