As a seasoned gamer and avid follower of Chainsaw Man, I must say that the War Devil’s ambition to defeat the Chainsaw Man is as intriguing as it is intense. Having witnessed countless battles between Devils and humans, I can attest that the Chainsaw Man has truly earned his fearsome reputation. Yet, what sets the War Devil apart is her desire not just for revenge or territorial dominance but to reclaim something lost – a testament to the complexities of these supernatural beings.


As a gamer, I’m constantly on the run from hordes of devils who are hot on my tail, seeking revenge or just a chance to outshine each other. I’m not your average devil, I’m the Chainsaw Devil, one of Hell’s toughest characters, standing alongside the Primal Devils. Even lower-tier devils quiver at the mention of us. Yet, despite everyone knowing the risks of taking me on, the honor that comes with defeating me is unparalleled.

This discussion leads us to the character known as War Devil, who dwells within Mitaka Asa. Similar to others, the War Devil harbors a desire to see Chainsaw Man meet his end. Yet, while the War Devil initially claims she aims to protect her allies, there is another motive behind her intention to vanquish him in the story of Chainsaw Man.

In the realm of supernatural beings, the War Demon is associated with a quartet known as the Four Apocalyptic Riders. These formidable demons harbor one of the Original Demons, specifically the Grim Reaper Demon. The Four Apocalyptic Riders are Death, Famine, Command, and War Demons. In the annals of Hell, there was a confrontation between these Four Apocalyptic Riders and the Chainsaw Man.

In Chapter 87, Makima observes that during the intense fight, the Chainsaw Man Devil mysteriously disappeared from sight. Interestingly, without the Four Horsemen and Weapon Devils knowing, Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil, was reborn on Earth, where he encountered Denji. Here, they spent their time battling Devils to repay Denji’s debt owed to the Yakuza.

Pochita, also known as the Chainsaw Demon, instills terror in all demons. Yet, there are some demons like Makima, the Control Demon, who admire the Chainsaw Demon. This is because the Chainsaw Demon possesses a unique power – it can eliminate demons by consuming them. However, devoured demons can reappear if the Chainsaw Demon spits them back out.

In many instances, the Devils have been overlooked, making it difficult for Humans to identify them upon inquiry. Yet, the Four Horsemen retain memories of the Devils consumed by the Chainsaw Devil. In Chapter 176, the War Devil laments that the Chainsaw Devil has digested her fellow Devils, the Weapon Devils, and seeks a method to induce the Chainsaw Devil to regurgitate them.

In Chapter 176, the War Devil hinted at something she yearns to recover from the Chainsaw Man. It’s not just about rescuing her comrades that he has consumed; there’s more she seeks to reclaim from him. In the very same chapter, Asa challenged the War Devil, expressing doubt over how she could possibly overcome the Chainsaw Man.

Later on, the War Demon admits to having knowledge of two deadly devices that surpass others in terror and strength. These entities she speaks of are akin to her offspring, known as the Gun Demon and Tank Demon. Yet, it’s important to note that these beings possess their own moral compasses. Using them as weapons might inflict damage upon them.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but rephrase the scenario from my perspective: Initially, I thought she aimed to rescue her fellow War Devils, possibly even my kin. Yet, it seems there’s another reason behind her desire to vanquish the Chainsaw Man. It’s speculated that they might share a common bond, perhaps as siblings, though this hasn’t been conclusively proven. In a moment of weakness, I appeal to the War Devil, imploring her to spare Denji, the Chainsaw Man, as my resolve wavers.

I want to beat him… And prove that
I’m
the more fearsome Devil!

In this instance, the War Devil admits her desire to overpower Chainsaw Man. She aims to defeat him to demonstrate her superiority among the Devils. It’s worth noting that Chainsaw Man has instilled fear in Hell due to his immense power and the ability to erase other Devils. Yet, in Chapter 176, the War Devil points out that whenever people are afraid of War, they also fear Chainsaw Man. This is because of the Chainsaw Devil Church storyline, where ordinary citizens transformed into pseudo-chainsaws and committed violent acts.

Numerous adversaries have attempted to eliminate the Chainsaw Devil, but only a handful have come close to succeeding. Throughout the Chainsaw Man series, the Gun Devil is often portrayed as a powerful enemy because of the widespread damage it causes. In Chapter 176, the War Devil has transformed her children into weapons to compensate for the loss of her right and left hands.

Following the summoning of the Gun Devil and Tank Devil, they now serve as her Right Gun Claw and Left Tank Claw respectively. A single strike from the Right Gun Claw managed to chop off Chainsaw Man’s right arm and create a wound in his abdomen large enough for the Mouth Devil to break free. Armed with these weapons, it’s evident that the War Devil has grown into a formidable adversary against Chainsaw Man.

Chainsaw Man is now available to stream on Crunchyroll.
