Chainsaw Man (2022): Season 1, Episode 10 - Bruised & Battered - full transcript

Yesterday afternoon, at the Nerima Nishidai
building across from Nerima Station,

Devil Hunters from Public Safety
engaged in a large-scale battle.

However, there have been eyewitness reports

that their opponents were humans
in addition to devils,

making the exact nature of the conflict—

Be silent.

You! Relinquish the apple! I shall eat it.

Hell no! They're all mine!

You ran, so no apples for you!

I did not run! I simply grew
hungry and went home!

Quit lying! Scaredy-Fiend! Chicken!



You are the one who is lying!

Say what?!

What of it?!

Get off!

Division 4...

Did anyone from Division 4 survive?

That shrimp, Kobeni, and...
the glasses dude, I think.

But he quit Public Safety.

Ms. Makima wants to talk to me and Powy,
so we're gonna head out.

I only came to eat the
fruit you've been gifted.

I'll leave you an apple.

See ya.

Curse... how much time do I have left?

Two years.



I come back for my manga
and the dude's crying.

Well, I can't blame him.
A bunch of his work buddies are dead.

His partner, Himeno, bought it, too.

Huh?

I haven't been crying at all, though?

When Pochita died, I was pretty damn sad.

But Himeno's dead...

And she's the first person
who ever wanted to be my friend.

Am I shitty?

Would I cry if Power died?

Doubt it.

What if he died?

Probably not.

What if Ms. Makima died?

If Ms. Makima died...

I'd probably be pretty down for a while,

but after three days, I think I'd be back
to enjoying stuff again.

I mean, three square meals a day and baths and
good sleep every night is pretty awesome to me.

Maybe my heart's gone
in more than one way...

Eh, why bother taking it so seriously?

This stuff is no fun, so thinking
about it is bound to be a buzzkill!

Better go see Ms. Makima instead!

Such melancholy.

Pardon us.

Hey there.

Huh? Were you crying?

Should we come back later?

Who are you two?

Ms. Makima asked us to come in from Kyoto
to help coach Special Division 4.

You gonna eat that apple?

Coach?

It's become clear, between the
hotel incident and this attack,

that the enemy is after Denji.

Which is why I want to
strengthen Division 4,

but most of its agents are dead.

You gonna be training us, Ms. Makima?!

Unfortunately, I'm going to be too busy,

so I'm introducing you
to the perfect teacher.

He's going to be training you two.

His name is...

Shut it.

Now, answer my questions:

How'd you feel about your comrades dying?

Okay, I guess?

I thought, "They've died!"

You want revenge?

Nah, that shit's depressing.

Verily!

Humans or devils: Which side are you on?

Whichever one's gonna take care of me.

Whichever one is winning.

You two...

Get full points.

You're a rare breed, and that is fantastic.

I love it.

I am frightened.

Makima, you head on back.
I'm starting with them right now.

I'll leave you to it, then.

Ms. Makima?!

I'm a Devil Hunter from Special Division 1.

I love it when people call me "teacher,"
so that's what you're gonna call me.

I also love booze, women,
and killing devils.

C-Can't stand...

You two are biologically the same as us.

A broken neck means not being able to move.

What sets you apart...

I smell blood!

...is that with a little blood,
you're right as rain again.

Damn it...

What the hell was that, man?!

Makima asked me to train you two up.

Not sure why, but the Gun Devil
seems to be after your heart,

so the fact that you're a scrub
who gets his ass kicked a lot is a problem.

Why did you crush us like that?!

I've trained humans before,
but devils are a new deal for me.

I was knocking back drinks
while trying to figure it out.

And then...

My boozy brain came up
with a flash of insight.

I'm the best Devil Hunter there is.

Any devil that can beat me
would be the strongest devil.

So, until you're strong enough to beat me...

I'll be hunting the two of you.

His brain is diseased!

Right?

Let's get back to it, then.

Drunk old bastard or not,
they'll still come after us if we kill him.

Denji!

The boy's immortal.

And the Fiend's mostly immortal.

No hesitation about bashing
someone's head in...

You two have no rights here.

When I was little, I used to break my
toys a lot, because I was too strong.

Always wanted toys that could take a beating.

With my help, you're gonna be
a pair of serious badasses.

Kon.

See? A no-show.

The Fox Devil is mad at you
for having it bite off too much.

Probably won't help you out ever again.

That sword's from the Curse Devil, right?

How many more times can you use it?

Is this what you meant by coaching?

Glad to see you're quick to catch on.

We're here to provide job consultation

with the human members
of the Special Division.

Rude as this might sound, don't you think
this is a good time to hang it up?

There's already someone from
your division that's gone private.

If you're serious about staying on board,

you're gonna need to make
certain sacrifices.

Sacrifices?

Yep, sacrifices.

You stick around, seems like
you're gonna need contracts

with even stronger devils
so you can actually contribute.

You can quit Public Safety and
enjoy however long you've got left,

or stay on and go through real hell.

The devils that killed my family
and my partner are still out there.

So why exactly would I quit?

All right, then. Understood.

Well, it's late today,
so we'll head back for now.

Be back tomorrow with the paperwork.

Looks like our seniors in Kyoto
knew what they were talking about.

"Everyone who works in the Special Division
is crazy, so watch yourself."

You might wanna try and take
an objective look at where you're standing.

Looks like you've got
a lady here to visit you.

Well, pardon us.

I'm heading home to get some sleep.

I'll be dropping by your place tomorrow.

Is your brain not sorted out yet?!

Heal! Heal!

Heal, heal, heal, heal damn you!

Heal!

How many times did I die today?!

Over twenty times.

Although I was usually unconscious
every time you were dead,

so I cannot be sure.

The old fool is too fearsome.

If this keeps up, it's gonna
suck all the fun out of life.

I was working hard because
I wanted to enjoy living,

so having to deal with this
is total bullshit.

Shall we flee?

Public Safety's gonna
come after us if we do,

and this time we'll get
the for-real devil treatment.

That drunk asshole...

Can't believe he's treating us like toys.
It's seriously pissing me off.

I have it!

Have what?

How to defeat him!

As fierce as he may be, ultimately,
his mind is addled by spirits!

We need only use our heads to overcome him!

I get you.

I been thinking lately
about how cool it'd be

if I could fight like one of those
smart characters in a manga!

We shall slaughter him in the war of wits!

Damn, I'm feeling smarter already!

You as well, eh?

I've come up with 100 plans already!

Dude, if we put our heads together...

I mean, it'd be harder
for us to lose then, right?

Now he shall be our plaything!

I think they live around here...

The scent of this blood...

The old souse has arrived.

If he wants to ruin our lives,
then he gets to die.

Let the highly cerebral warfare begin.

A blood weapon, huh?

And aimed at the head.

So, it's an ambush.

I guess the idea is they're
hunting me this time.

Yee-ow...

That was your best effort so far.

I guess prey will use its head
when it's cornered.

Keep at it.

You lost for two reasons this time.

Using so much blood to fight
leaves Power anemic,

and you didn't see my attack coming, Denji.

This was a good try, though,
so let's call it a day.

I'm going out for drinks.

Powy...

He said we're done for today.

How lucky we are...

Huh?

Beasts shouldn't trust
anything a hunter says.

Making a deal with a stronger devil

is probably gonna mean
a pretty demanding contract,

but we're not doing this
to mess with you, all right, Aki?

You'll be jumping into a lion's cage
when you get back to work.

That means you'll need a weapon
to protect yourself, y'know?

This is where the devils that
Public Safety captures alive are kept.

Let's find you the right weapon.

It's none of my business, but was
that pretty lady your girlfriend?

Again with this? Mind your own business.

She was my partner's younger sister.

Oof... She let you have it?

No...

She gave me a letter.

A letter?

This is a letter my sister sent to me.

I'm giving it to you because
I think you should read it.

Is Dad feeling any better?

The job pays pretty well so don't worry about sending food or anything.
Dad's been messaging me lately. I appreciate his concern,
but I'm more worried about him. Is he taking his meds?

I forced Aki to get his ear pierced.

If nothing else, we could go private instead of staying in Public Safety.
How do I get Aki to quit? I brought it up, but he just brushed it off.

I don't think it's a good idea to keep working here. If nothing else,
we could go private instead of staying in Public Safety.
How do I get Aki to quit? I brought it up,
but he just brushed it off. I was trying to be serious, too.

You're gonna contract
with the devil in this room, Aki.

It's the Future Devil.

There are two people in Public Safety
that have contracts with it.

One had to give up half their lifespan...

The other gave both their eyes,
along with their sense of taste and smell.

Hopefully it likes you,
and you'll get a bargain.

Well, go right on in.
