Makima's Terrifying Power is Revealed

Chainsaw Man episode nine follows up on last week's mass execution event with some seriously scary revelations about Makima. Kobeni also gets a chance to show off when the chips are down. Also: why it's important to wear pants on live stream, a very important reprint, and the top-selling manga of 2022!

The ANN After Show streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter Spaces on Tuesday at 6pm PT/9pm ET. You can listen to the podcast version on Mondays on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. The ANN After Show is part of the BLEAV Network.
