The Angel Devil in Chainsaw Man packs with devastating powers, a living paradox who yearns for ice cream and naps.
Imagine a devil who looks like an angel, hates working, loves ice cream, and just happens to be one of the deadliest beings in Chainsaw Man. That’s the Angel Devil, a living contradiction who can drain life with a single touch and create weapons from stolen lifespans.
While he might prefer lounging around and avoiding work at all costs, don’t let his lazy demeanor fool you. Makima herself recognized him as Tokyo Special Division 4’s second-strongest agent, right behind Captain Kishibe.
He’s like a nuclear weapon that would rather take a nap – but when pushed into action, he shows exactly why he’s earned his fearsome reputation. But how powerful is this workshy devil?
Let’s break down the abilities and other feats that make the Angel Devil in Chainsaw Man the most formidable character.
Inherent Devil Abilities and Physical Prowess of Angel Devil
What makes Angel Devil naturally powerful as a devil? Like all devils in Chainsaw Man, he comes with some impressive physical abilities right out of the gate. He has superhuman reflexes and can literally block bullets with his wings. There’s this really cool moment where he shows this off during a fight. However, it needs to be mentioned that those bullets still hurt him even if they can’t get through the wings.
Speaking of those wings, they are not just for show. They are these beautiful white-feathered wings on his back that are tough enough to act like shields. Most interestingly, though he has wings, fans actually don’t know if he can fly with them. It’s a kind of mystery there!
A Deadly Touch of Life Force Absorption by Angel Devil in Chainsaw Man
Angel Devil has the most notorious ability in Chainsaw Man – the life force absorption. This is where things get really interesting and honestly terrifying. He needs to be careful about every single touch because even a moment of skin-to-skin contact could drain months from one’s life. There’s this moment with Aki where a brief touch cost him two whole months of his life.
His ability is not something he can turn off – it’s always active. This has actually had a huge impact on his social life, as one can imagine. Most people keep their distance, knowing a simple touch could be fatal. The one saving grace, if one can call it that, is that you are safe as long as there’s cloth or some other material between yourself and him. It’s also worth noting that when he does take someone’s full lifespan, they at least die painlessly.
What’s really clever about his ability is that he doesn’t just waste the life force he absorbs. He stores it within himself, probably in that halo of his, and can later use it to create weapons.
Weaponization of Stolen Life Force
Think of this life force as a dark form of energy conversion. All that life force Angel Devil absorbs does not disappear, he uses it to create weapons. The more life force he puts in, the more powerful the weapons become. It’s like a grim exchange rate of years for power in Chainsaw Man.
For his basic go-to weapon, he uses “Usage: Five Years,” which creates the golden-handled sword that’s absolutely lethal. When he strikes someone with it, they just die. No blood, no wounds, nothing visible.
Then there’s “Usage: Ten Years,” which creates an even more impressive sword with a crossguard. There’s a funny story about this one. He actually tried to use it against Makima but it didn’t go so great. She shut him down before anyone could see what it could do.
But when Makima took control of him, we saw what his power could really do. She used him to create weapons using “Usage: 100 Years”- a massive red-hilted cleaver. While “Usage: 1000 Years” summoned the enormous blood-red spear that was powerful enough to take down even the Chainsaw Devil.
The heartbreaking part about this is that Angel Devil hates using these weapons. Every time he creates one, he gets haunted by nightmares of the people whose life force he used to make them. That’s why one can often see him apologizing to his weapons when he creates them.
Combat Expertise and Power Restraint of Angel Devil
Despite his reluctance to fight, the Angel Devil in Chainsaw Man demonstrates considerable combat prowess when forced into action. He shows skills in both swordsmanship and spearmanship, capable of taking down multiple opponents efficiently. During the fight against Santa Claus’s dolls, he displayed the ability to cut five enemies in a single swing.
Interestingly, his true power is often held back by his psychological state and moral considerations. His reluctance to use his abilities stems from being haunted by the spirits of those whose lifespan he’s absorbed.
This self-imposed limitation, combined with his general aversion to work and combat, means he rarely operates at his full potential. However, when controlled by Makima, we see the true extent of his abilities unleashed.
Conclusion
The Angel Devil in Chainsaw Man represents one of the most powerful figures with abilities that make him a threat to both humans and devils. His combination of natural devil abilities, life force absorption, weapon creation, and combat skills places him among the strongest characters.
The duality of his nature is captured in his abilities. A touch that brings death, yet weapons forged from life itself. But unlike fallen angels tales, his fall was not from pride or rebellion, it was from being forced to become a weapon against his will.
