chainsaw man

In a Dream (夢 (ゆめ) の中 (なか) Yume no Naka?) is the 53rd chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga series.

Summary

Denji has another nightmare of standing in front of the door, hearing Pochita order him to never open it. The next morning, at breakfast, Denji sits despondently as Power complains about Meowy's newfound love of him. Denji ignores her, thinking of how Aki's coffee reminds him of Reze, and how his heart was truly and irreversibly broken by her. His attitude changes completely, however, when Makima later invites them all on a paid vacation with her, causing Denji to jump with joy. Aki and Denji instantly agree, whilst Power tries to come up with an excuse.

As they discuss timing for the trip, a swarm of Devil Hunters enter the room. After conferring with Makima, she shows the group a news recording of the fight against Reze, explaining the bureau had failed to censor the broadcast, and as such the Chainsaw Man's existence had been revealed to the world. Power and Denji ignore this, still discussing the vacation, but they are interrupted by Makima who explains the vacation was a ruse to explain their absence, and in reality they are being put under protection in order to avoid assassination by foreign threats. Denji reacts with horror, as he realizes he is going to be restricted and contained for some time.

Makima asks Aki to be part of Denji's protection, before telling him they plan to hunt the Gun Devil in the next year and orders him not to die before it. Aki thinks back to a conversation he had with Angel Devil, who elaborated on the nature of Devils: When a Devil dies, they are revived within Hell. Once they die there, they return to the Earth, with no memories of Hell. He then reveals a secret he asks never to be repeated- That all Devils remember a single sound from moments before they die in Hell: The sound of Denji's Chainsaw.

Meanwhile, in America, a trio of part-time Devil Hunters sit and discuss their new job: Killing Denji and returning his body to the US in exchange for $2 million. The youngest man, Aldo, expresses fear of dying, however is talked down by the other two, reminding him that the three of them- all brothers- survived the Gun Devil's onslaught. As they prepare to leave for Japan, the eldest brother, refers to themselves as "Immortal".
