If it's fear that gives devils power, introducing kids to a cuddly helpless devil is actually a pretty sound strategy to defang them.

I hope there's some strange situation that leads to the War Devil and Denji teaming up. It seems like a bit of a waste for her to get a whole introductory chapter like this before getting chainsawed, and we need a new heroine between now and the Blood Devil coming back (other than poor, poor Kobeni, who frankly deserves a very long break away from all this).

Like everyone else I'm not sure if this is one of the Hybrids (makima specified CSM ate their name but they didn't disappear) or a fiend. Fiends do have some kind of facial deformity and War has the scars from where she was cut by her classmate. The other hybrids recovered all damage to them as well as get a total head transformation. However if she was a fiend I don't think War would offer a contract, just take the body. Fiends don't have contracts they're just inhabited dead bodies. No way Aki would ever have become the gun fiend if a contract was needed. I suppose there is no reason not to assume this is just a regular human-devil contract with very uncommon terms. Maybe a "I make you strong as hell and heal you but I also take over control"

Denji in the last couple chapters had lost much of his Chaotic Dumbass energy and seemed pretty worn out. he’s probably bounced back some, question is how much

I hope we get a team up as well, at least for some period of time. Some very fun and terrifying powers on display from the War devil as well, and it seems like all she needs to do is touch you and you're pretty hosed (though maybe Chainsawman regen could help out with that a bit). I'm also 100% behind Denji not really having learned his lesson and being A-OK with bringing Nukes back as long as he gets to date a cute girl.

I mean, as early as the Eternity arc, we saw that, for Denji, 'learning a lesson' and 'actually acting on that lesson' are not exactly one to one.

I'm also realizing that with things like the Gun Devil able to massacre vast swathes of people basically instantly and the Darkness Devil just immediately owning anything it wants to, War Devil's powers seem incredibly weak by comparison. They seemed strong to me at first glance, but only in a "this thing's gotta be nasty in a 1 on 1 fight" way and not a "gonna own everyone immediately" way. I feel like there's going to be some story reasons to explain why it's weak enough that it needs to partner up with anyone at all, and why the powers it grants don't seem to be anywhere near some devils that seem like they'd be roughly comparable in terms of how feared they are.

Compare Aki as the Gun Fiend or the doll devil after her contract to the gun devil and darkness devils. We're not seeing Pure War. Also it's not like they would have required a Gun Devil level manifestation to wipe out some weak loser. We don't know ho much of of their power they can bring to bear in the form they're currently in.

I also hadn't thought of that difference between "power level of a devil possessing a body/making a contract with someone" and "power level of that devil itself fully manifesting and doing things on their own."

I feel like there's going to be some story reasons to explain why it's weak enough that it needs to partner up with anyone at all, and why the powers it grants don't seem to be anywhere near some devils that seem like they'd be roughly comparable in terms of how feared they are. the 'violence' devil that was pals with Kobeni would be in the same bucket, I'd say theory one: in a world with devils, the fear of human violence upon itself is lessened in comparison. Like, it's a semi-common occurance that a devil will just appear and gently caress you up, so being mugged is way less scary, or the idea of two countries going to war is treated fairly lightly. addendum: Perhaps human violence actually is suppressed, compared to reality- possibly because human individuals or gov'ts have an outside enemy to focus on, that tangibly gets stronger with human conflict and fear. addendum 2: the nations seem to focus on weaponizing devils in various ways kind of a cold war race. So again conflict isn't so much outright war of 'dudes with guns and planes with bombs' but 'collecting the gun devils shards and brainwashing a teenage bomb-devil hybrid' shadow conflict. Not conducive to a 'war devil'. two: abstract concepts are not generally as strong as direct in your face objects, or primal brainstem fears. ie. you fear 'war', but it's the gun or bomb that actually gets you, and war is just many people getting got by many guns and bombs. Like, do you fear war itself, or is war were declared a signifier that now's the time to get really scared of guns and bombs? although, Makima exists as a counter example to both those- although, how strong was Makima on her own? and how much was her being able to network a collection of other devils bound to her, and piggyback off human structures? three: similar to how the actual chainsawman/pochita was injured before the story started, or how the violence devil apparently became a fiend (and weakened), there's inter-devil or character conflict that has hosed up the War devil. addendum: Chainsawman eating nuclear weapons fits 1.a and 3, as a character/individual having a far reaching suppressing effect on the nature of large scale human conflicts Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Jul 12, 2022 |

Power is one of the best examples, though, since we spend most of the series with her barely able to do anything with anyone else's blood at point blank range, while Devil Power explodes people with swords made of their own blood.

Makima specifically says that Power is kept at a lower level than normal by regularly draining her blood.

good chapter, i've definitely missed this series the antics of bucky never really hooked me because i was waiting for the shoe to drop, but everything from the demon reveal to the end of the chapter was aces. the spine sword was disturbing on a visceral level. with all the hosed up stuff fujimoto has already drawn in chainsaw man and firepunch, i'm always amazed that he can still consistently suprise
