Discover the strongest Devils in Chainsaw Man. Find what makes them so powerful and how they rank among others.
Born through humanity’s fears, Devils are terrifying entities in Chainsaw Man. They wield immense power, influencing both human and Devil realms. Here’s a ranking of the 8 strongest Devils in the Chainsaw Man anime and manga.
8 Strongest Devils in Chainsaw Man
8) War Devil
The War Devil, Yoru, is the deuteragonist of Chainsaw Man Part 2 who shares a body with Asa Mitaka. Being a member of the Four Horsemen, she can transform anything she owns into a weapon, both living and nonliving. Through this, Yoru has made swords from spinal cords and grenades from the arms of people.
Yoru is extremely diasdainful and her main goal is to defeat Chainsaw Man. She is strategic, and is willing to do whatever it takes to bring out Pochita. Due to this, she contrasts Asa’s innocent personality and often clashes with her. However she is also in great sync with Asa, as Yoru is much more emotional than other Devils.
7) Gun Devil
The Gun Devil was introduced in Chainsaw Man Part 1 as the most dangerous being in the series. Having killed 1.2 million people in 5 minutes, this embodiment of gun violence is infamous in the story. Characters such as Aki lived just to kill it.
The Gun Devil is so powerful that even after being split into different fragments between nations, it is still capable of large-scale destruction. Its lack of personality makes it more terrifying, as it seemingly only cares about wreckage. Yoru also uses a portion of this Devil as one of her most powerful weapons.
6) Aging Devil
The Aging Devil is the most recent antagonist in Chainsaw Man which could tackle both Denji and Asa. It is a Primal Fear that is allied with the Public Safety Hunters. With its control over time, this Devil can both stop the movement of objects and wither the life of humans away.
Along with these, it can send targets to an alternate world, where inhabitants gradually lose their minds and turn into trees. Representing the inevitability of decay over time as well as hatred towards youth, the Aging Devil is a new but extremely dangerous character in Chainsaw Man.
5) Hell Devil
The Hell Devil epitomizes the fear of eternal damnation, an extremely strong feeling inside most people. Resultantly, its power is as mysterious as it is dangerous. It has the form of a centaur with a giant grisly mouth. Its skin is always burning, potentially signifying the infernal realm it comes from.
In exchange for sacrifices, it can send a large number of people to Hell after manifesting as a six-fingered hand. This beastly figure can materialize on its own when Devil Hunters kill themselves. While it was defeated by the Chainsaw Devil in the first part, its conceptual strength still makes it one of the strongest beings in the series.
4) Control Devil
The Control Devil is the main antagonist of Chainsaw Man Part 1 and is represented by Makima. As the name indicates, she dominates over everyone she sees as inferior and is highly manipulative. She was infatuated with Pochita’s powers and wished to separate him from Denji. To this end, the Control Devil puts the protagonist through continuous misery.
As a member of the Four Horsemen, the Control Devil can control both humans and Devils while channeling their powers. She can crush others through an invisible force and is highly intelligent. Despite her apathetic nature, she understands human nature well and can influence them accordingly. Hence, with her pivotal role in the narrative of Chainsaw Man and the pain she causes Denji, The Control Devil is feared and hated but also very powerful.
After Makima’s death, she reincarnated as Nayuta in Chainsaw Man Part 2. However, her powers are not of the previous level due to her wielder’s more caring nature.
3) Darkness Devil
The fear of darkness and the unknown is one of the most prominent feelings among most humans. Accordingly, the Darkness Devil draws its powers from these. With the terrifying appearance of stitched-up human bodies, this Primal Fear induced despair in humans and Devils alike.
It can manipulate the darkness and conjure blades while controlling them telepathically. Additionally, the Darkness Devil can use an unseen force to slice up parts of its opponent and prevent regeneration. Having nearly killed the entire cast in the International Assassins Arc, this is an extremely intimidating figure in Chainsaw Man.
2) Death Devil
Known as the strongest Primal Fear, the Death Devil is prophesied to be the ultimate fear that ends humanity in Chainsaw Man Part 2. Details such as the Devil’s appearance and personality are unknown, we just know that she is female like her siblings.
As the subject of Nostradamus’ prophecy, the Death Devil’s descent will bring about the age of the Devils. Characters such as Fami and Yoshida wish to prevent this no matter what. Nayuta also admits to her being the strongest Devil. Her abilities are not revealed, but death is quite a common theme in Chainsaw Man. Therefore, the power this Devil wields will undoubtedly surpass our expectations.
There is a good possibility that the Death Devil will be the final antagonist of the entire Chainsaw Man series, given its build-up. Mainly, it is hard to imagine anything that is more fearsome than death as a concept.
1) Chainsaw Devil
While we have already mentioned that many characters consider the Death Devil as the strongest in Chainsaw Man, it is hard not to place Pochita or the Chainsaw Devil at the top of this list.
This is for the sole reason that the Chainsaw Devil is the only Devil in existence that can permanently kill other Devils. He removes their chances of reincarnation, and this ability is not held by the Death Devil either. Additionally, the unique bond between Pochita and Denji gives the Chainsaw Devil a purpose to fight harder. On the contrary, most Primal Fears seem devoid of emotion and just carry out their tasks without passion.
Hence, the real Chainsaw Man will also have that relentless nature pushing him to survive and win in battle. Plot armor has never played a big role in Tatsuki Fujimoto’s stories, but the Chainsaw Devil’s unique ability and position as protagonist still give him an edge over all the rest in Chainsaw Man.
Conclusion
The Devils in Chainsaw Man are a very creative and captivating addition to the series. It is hard to classify them as good or bad as they only represent the feelings of humanity. At the same time, their powers and personalities often go on to deeply impact audiences.
Based on all the information available currently, we have curated this list of the 8 strongest Devils in Chainsaw Man, who are unforgettable pillars of the series.
