Denji, an impoverished teenager, works to pay off his deceased father's debts to the yakuza as a devil hunter using his dog-like companion, the Chainsaw Devil Pochita. Shortly after his father's funeral, Denji gave Pochita blood to heal the devil's wounds.

Power moves in with Denji and Hayakawa, but her chaotic ways engender resentment until she offers to uphold her end of the bargain with Denji. After realizing his dream, Denji is disappointed and Makima suggests physical intimacy would be more profound after making an emotional connection; after they engage in heavy petting, he agrees to help her defeat the Gun Devil. 13 years ago, the Gun Devil killed 1.2 million people worldwide, including Hayakawa's family, then disappeared; since then, the only clues to its location have been small pieces of the Gun Devil's body, which strengthen other devils when ingested. Hayakawa, Denji, and Power team up with another devil hunter team (Arai and Kobeni, led by Himeno) to investigate a devil at the Hotel Morin. After Himeno and Power defeat a small devil, the six are trapped in time on the eighth floor, cut off from the rest of the world by a mysterious devil, who offers a contract: the rest may leave if they give up Denji's heart.
