What's going on? Everyone? Welcome back to anime uproar. I am your
host axel beats, and one of the coolest parts of chainsaw Man is easily
the devils. There are so many, and they vary so much that breathe
constant life into the series. Within chainsaw Man Part one alone, there is
well over forty devils that fill out the ninety seven chapters, so you're basically
getting a new one every other chapter, and I just think that's pretty rad.
So today we're going to be talking about all the devils which show up
in part one. There are obviously going to be spoilers ahead for the anime
only, but in reality there's only one or two big spoilers, so I'll
leave those for last, and I'll give you a warning before we get there.
Otherwise I'll just be talking more about what the devils look like and what
they're generally able to do. Of course, if you enjoy chainsaw Man content
and you want to see more on the channel, remember to leave alike and
subscribe for more content in the future. But with all that out of the
way, let's start things off with the Marshmallow Devil. So luckily for my
sanity, while making this video. While there are a ton of different devils
in the series, many of them don't really get a lot of screen time
and there isn't much to say about them, but this is a good time
for me to mention how devils work, as the marshmallow devil is actually a
pretty good example. All devil's strength comes from the fear that humanity associates with
that identity. The more scary that something is, the more powerful the associated
devil named after that fear is. As a result, and as marshmallows aren't
particularly frightening, marshmallow Devil is pretty weak, only being represented as a puffy
white ooze. In general, though, there are a kind of rule of
thumb set of abilities for all devils. Firstly, they are all nearly immortal,
while they can die. After actually passing, they will go to Hell,
and if they die there, they'll be reincarnated on Earth. However,
once they do this, they'll have an entirely different personality. All devils can
heal by consuming blood, and their physical strength is proportional to the concept that
they embody, almost always being stronger than humans by default. Though so again,
something like a lion devil would be crazy strong, while a marshmallow devil
not that powerful. The marshmallow devil itself is the first devil that Dengji actually
kills with the help of Ho Cheetah and ultimately leads to his survival, as
devil hunting became Denji's most lucrative source of income for paying off his father's debt.
The tomato devil looks much more terrifying, which leads me to believe that
dislikes can also lean into a devil's strength, and not just specifically fear,
because while not many people are afraid of tomatoes, many people don't like them,
and rather than just being a small red blob, the tomato devil is
a huge red tomato, covered with massive eyes, a vertical mouth, and
a set of eight human arms which act as legs. That said, while
it looks more terrifying, it still isn't particularly strong, so disdain and dislikes
might lean into how a devil looks, while fear is where it gets its
power. That's my understanding at The tomato devil is the first devil that Dengi
kills in the story that we follow, but he's eliminated pretty quickly and we
don't see his power being used. It is mentioned though, that the Tomato
Devil can regenerate itself so long as one of its seeds survives, and for
the last of Dengi's first the Zombie Devil is the first devil that Dengi defeats
as Chainsaw Man. The first time that we hear about the Zombie Devil,
the yakuza that Dengi is indebted to offered themselves as slaves to him in exchange
for his power. The Zombie Devil himself looks like a massive, grafted together
corpse. He is a face planted on the chest of an appendageless torso,
being supported by his end trails. The Zombie Devil's main ability is to turn
people into zombies that it gets total control over. Something to note is that
if someone were to gain control over the Zombie Devil or any other devil,
they would also be able to use their abilities. The muscle Devil was skipped
over in the anime, but it was actually a pretty cool one. When
Makima brings to the Raman shop in the manga, Denji must go to deal
with the muscle Devil before he's able to eat. This devil kind of sets
up an anglerfish like trap for Dengji. His abilities allow him to control and
manipulate any muscles he touches, so he controls a young girl to use her
as bait and lure Denji in to make him lower his guard. The muscle
Devil originally appears as a small snakelike dude. However, he's able to massively
increase in size and strength by expanding his muscles. As I mentioned, he
can completely manipulate any muscles he comes in contact with, and can even shred
or break apart those muscles on someone else. Continuing on with these early devils,
we have the c cucumber Devil. This was a large, pink,
gooey sea cucumber that had dozens of human fingers sprouting out of it, as
well as a single human skull towards the top. We don't get to see
a whole lot of this devil, as Power one shot sit and sprays it
all over the street, but we do see that the civilians on site we're
struggling to deal with it. The bat Devil is the one who stole the
alley from Power and is one of few recurring devils that we get in the
series. He appears as a massive humanoid bat with sharp teeth to crunch down
on people and wings that he's able to fly with. This devil seems to
have a particularly sensitive sense of taste, as he is picky about who and
what he eats, being disgusted by Dengji and preferring to eat children, something
which might also be tied to his heightened sense of smell, which allows him
to pinpoint humans at different points of the city. Aside from flight, the
other big ability that this devil has is that he can turn his mouth into
a cannon which fires powerful bursts of air strong enough to destroy buildings. And
of course, the Bat Devil was dating the Leech Devil, which is just
truly a bloodsucking match made in heaven. The Leech Devil fam, I'm gonna
be real. I don't think I can show this on screen, so instead
just you're gonna have normal leeches. But this was a long leech with human
legs and just like too many buba, and not the good kind of buba.
After Dengji kills the Bat Devil, the Leech Devil arrived enraged, although
she does offer to spare him because he is cute. This devil didn't seem
to have any particular special abilities other than being able to stab her tongue through
Dengi's chest, and it's probably safe to say she has some blood sucking abilities
as well as she is a leech onto the Fox Devil. While we don't
know the full appearance of this devil, we do know that its head and
arms are covered in large, monstrous eyes. This devil has contracts with several
humans, offering to work for them in exchange for their flesh on each use.
Aki Nomo, Nakamura, and Hirokazu all have been shown to work with
this devil. While the Fox Devil resides in Kyoto, the devil hunters are
able to summon parts of its body too nearly any location to attack and devour
other devils. That said, he doesn't like to eat hybrid devils because they
taste bad. The Fish Devil is one we don't know a lot about in
terms of abilities or personality, as we only get a look at it after
he has killed it and removed part of the Gun Devil from it. The
Fish Devil is the size of a large shark, with razors sharp teeth,
two tailfins, and six insect like legs, so it's not exactly the prettiest
of the devils. The first devil that really creep me out in the series,
though, is easily the Eternity Devil. This devil forms around its tiny
core and has several eyes and mouths on either side of it. Most iconic
ability of the Eternity Devil is to produce a pocket dimension within its stomach,
trapping Dengji and his group on one floor of a hotel, which is infinitely
looped on top of this, time is stopped within this dimension, and the
Eternity Devil is able to produce a body which can keep growing over time as
it produces endless waves of flesh and appendages. Much like Dengji, Katana Man
is a hybrid, except with the Katana Devil. That said, this is
the only way that we know the Katana Devil exists. We don't actually know
much about the devil itself, and it's kind of like guessing what Pochita was
like based on Deni's transformation. On that note, the same can be said
about several other hybrids throughout the series, including the Bomb Devil, the Crossbow
Devil, the Longsword Devil, the flamethrower Devil, the spear Devil, and
the whip Devil, as they only appear in hybrid forms. When summoned,
the Curse Devil appears as a skeleton with two skulls, one looking human and
the other looking demonic. It has large clawed hands and an expanded ribcage which
can be used to surround and hold people in place. Once the victim is
locked in, the skulls will clamp down on them, biting their shoulder and
neck while their claws crush their arms. To summon this devil, someone must
be stabbed with a curse spike three times, at which point the devil will
appear and kill the victim. That said, we later see this needing four
stabs, so it does differ depending on the contract the curse Devil has with
each person. Becaust of summoning the Curse Devil is to offer up your lifespan
or the use of specific body parts rather than flesh like it was the Fox
Devil, and with that they are definitely into the stage of the story where
Devil's just become more and more grotesque and terrifying as we go. The Snake
Devil is a huge snake with a face made up of dozens of interlocking arms
and hands where the teeth should be. This devil has a contract with a
Khannae, and for the price of four fingernails, she can summon it to
devour her enemies completely, or she can have the devil spit up that enemy
and release them, which will cause her nose to bleed. It's pretty worth
it, though, as once released, the victim will be completely healed and
forced to fight for the user. The snake Devil's tail can also be summoned
by the movement of the user's hands. The ghost Devil is creepy as hell.
It has this creepy, withered old woman's face with a sown, shut
mouth and eyes, this dirty, disheveled hair, and a body made of
flowers, with a bunch of arms being used as her legs. Almost similar
to the Tomato devil. As this is the embodiment of the fear of ghosts,
it's pretty powerful. Interestingly enough, though, this devil also demonstrates fear
of others, as the ghost Devil is afraid of Katana Man at first and
needs to be bribed into fighting. The ghost Devil had a contract with Humano
for the price of her eye, which allowed her to use a ghostly hand,
which is intangible for others. However, the hand itself is able to
interact with them, so for example, she's able to choke power, but
power can't grab it to retaliate. Humano is also able to give up more
of her body to gain access to more of the ghost devil for a short
time. Finally, this devil's eyes are sown shut, so it is unable
to see. Instead, it perceives the world around it by sensing fear,
unfortunately, meaning that it can't see anyone who isn't afraid of her or just
doesn't fear. Dyeing the future devil embodying the fear of the future is obviously
the one I'm most afraid of. This devil looks like a tree sprouting from
the ground and growing into a scarecrow shape with arms spread out in a head
that looks like it has antlers on it. Its chest has a chasm in
the center of it with a giant eyeball as well, definitely adding to the
creepiness. But if someone sticks their head into that hole, the devil is
able to read that person's future. That said, this dude is kind of
awesome and hilarious. He speaks in this very playful and fun way, which
kind of counteracts how terrifying he is. He's always bragging about how he has
the best future, and that's just makes him a really enjoyable character in a
weird way. The Future Devil was captured by the Devil Hunters and made contracts
with two of them, one offering up half of his life, while the
other gave up his eyes, sense of taste, and sense of smell.
It later makes a deal with Aki for the low price of being able to
live in his right eye so that he can experience Aki's future firsthand. Next
up is the Angel Devil, someone who is pretty interesting as they're one of
the only devils who isn't directly hostile to humans, although he still does want
them to die in pain, so you know, take the good with the
bad. He considers himself a devil first and an angel's second, even if
physically he does look much more angelic, seeming like a normal dude with angel
wings and a halo and no real definable devil traits. The Angel Devil is
able to absorb people's lifespan by touching them. He is fast enough to react
to bullets, and his wings are strong enough to deflect those bullets. He
can also turn siphoned lifespan into weapons with varying strength depending on how much energy
he puts into them, all this making him one of the cooler devils despite
his simplicity, The Spider Devil is kind of horrifying, looking like a normal
woman aside from her eight fleshy legs and a zipper that divides her face in
half. While she works as a devil hunter, she actively kills people who
look at her the wrong way and shows no emotions in almost any situation.
The Spider Devil is able to dive into the ground and pop up anywhere she'd
like, but more interestingly is her ability to unzip her body to summon Machima
directly to her, raising the if she can summon anyone this way, or
only Makima. The Typhoon Devil looks like a giant with an exposed brain that
has a tornado of brain matter swirling around them. This devil can produce storms
strong enough to destroy buildings and send cars flying by spinning their guts around them,
and can also produce rain storms. Finally, this devil is also able
to communicate through swirling water. The pig devil is one we see very little
of. It's a large pig with two pairs of eyes, the first looking
fairly normal and the second being small ones above its snout. We don't get
much else other than its appearance, as it's already died before appearing on screen.
The mold Devil is another we don't see physically. However, we do
see two contracts being made. Within the contract holders can bite their hands until
they bleed, point at something living, and create mold that grows inside of
them to cause internal bleeding. Nothing else is really known about the mold devil.
The grape Devil, in line with the marshmallow and tomato devil, is
yet another weak devil, this one looking like a bunch of eyes connected with
intestines rather than grape funds, and honestly, I'm kind of glad we don't
see more of this one. The skin devil, you know, for people
who are afraid of skin, has only been seen through contracts. If the
contract holder touches a corpse, they are able to shape shift into the appearance
of that person. The doll devil spawned from the fear of anyone who slept
at their grandmother's house as a child and had already of these things staring at
them all night. Is a devil that has a contract with Santa Claus.
We don't know the price of this contract. However, Santa Claus is able
to create dolls that follow her orders. This will actually spread through contact with
these dolls by anyone that they come across, with the exception of fiends and
devils. We've seen these dolls turning one of their arms into blades, but
Santa Claus needs to keep close to them in order to keep control over them.
The claw, needle and knife devils are more than we only see through
contracts. However, even here we don't really get to see the specifics of
their contracts being used. The octopus devil has only been seen through the use
of its contract. However, we have seen it having an absolutely huge tentacle,
implying that it itself is pretty massive. We don't know the price of
using this devil, but the contract holder is able to summon parts of the
octopus's body and make ink clouds to distract any attackers. Back to some of
the big bad devils in the series, we have the Hell Devil, a
flaming, zombie like centaur with splinters shooting off of its arms and a soldier's
helmet. The Hell Devil, in exchange for sacrificing a few lives, can
send everyone in an area directly to Hell, manifesting an insanely large, six
fingered hand that descends from the sky and takes hold of those being sent to
Hell. People can also game over themselves in order to summon the Hell Devil
directly to the Earth. But of course, once people are in Hell,
they'll come across a devil embodying one of the primal fears, the Darkness Devil,
a horrific amalgamation of body parts and bones forming wings and a totem pole
like head, where they'll find a skull with horns reaching out of its eye
sockets instead of legs. This devil has two complete zombified human bodies, and
as this devil represents a primal fear, we know that it's never experienced death.
Because it is so powerful, this devil can manipulate darkness, freely appearing
anywhere it wants to within that darkness and becoming unable to take damage while it
is in that darkness. It can turn into and produce darkness, manifest bodies
within that darkness, and conjure a blade of darkness which it can control with
its mind. After being struck by that blade, the bells that are on
that sword will cause hemorrhaging when they ring. On top of that, the
Darkness Devil can stare at anyone, be they devil or human, and they
will start hemorrhaging until they bleed to death. It can damage anyone simply by
pointing at them. He is strong enough to mangle and twist machimas and can
destroy severed body parts just by chanting. We see him forming a contract and
giving the user a piece of his flesh, which significantly powers that person up,
allowing them to transform and become invulnerable in darkness. This is easily one
of the strongest and scariest devils we see, but goddamn is he cool.
The Stone Devil looks like a gargoyle with a more demonic looking head. It
has the interesting ability to petrify anything it touches, and if a contract is
created with it and the user is standing in a special glyph on the floor,
they're able to form a ring with their hands blow through it and petrify
anyone in front of them. There does seem to be a limit on how
many people it's able to do this for at once, though This devil is
also apparently very fickle with its contracts, though we have yet to see the
actual price that people need to pay to use it. The gun Devil,
probably one of the most visually terrifying on this list, and by far the
largest that we've seen, is the devil that can cause the most large scale
instruction alone and in the quickest time. This devil has a torso made up
of countless screaming skulls, which branch off into massive arms made of amalgamations of
guns. His head is a large skull with jagged teeth and a revolver barrel
standing out of its front, while his back is covered in more firearms,
and where his legs should be are these long magazines of bullets dangling below him.
And I feel like I'm really not selling just how big this guy is.
But the rifles that make up his arms are the size of buildings,
and this is just his twenty percent form. This devil first appeared in America,
but then flew to Japan, where over a period of twenty six seconds.
It killed nearly sixty thousand people in just the five minutes that it was
around. Total, it killed just over one point two million before disappearing.
This action was so horrific that it led not only to the fear of guns
increasing, but the fear of devils in general, making all levels more powerful
by proxy. After being taken down by some unknown force, it was split
between the major world powers, and fragments of the gun would be found all
over the world as devils would consume it to become more powerful and violent themselves.
The Gun Devil moves so fast that will see parts of its flesh burning
off as it's traveling. However, it does regenerate itself, so this is
pretty mitigated. It can fire bullets through the heads of every adult man within
thousand meters, every child within fifteen hundred meters, and the heart of every
living thing born in January, February, March, May, June, August,
September, November and December within a thousand meters, meaning that this is
the only time that your horoscope sign has actually mattered. The Punishment Devil is
yet another which is absolutely terrifying. This cluster of conjoined, severed and disjointed
human bodies, each carrying a different weapon, while the outermost bodies have extra
arms to kind of form this mouth around the rest of them. There are
plenty of devils that are made of these like blobs of human bodies, but
not many of them have this weird level of incompleteness for each body. Was
just adds to the air of creepiness that this thing has. However, outside
of how terrifying it is, we don't really know much about this devil at
all. We know it had at least two contracts in the past, but
we don't know what it allowed for the people or what the price that was
associated with these contracts were. In terms of power. All we know is
that it's strong enough to battle with the gun Devil. However, that doesn't
mean much considering all of the other devils that it teamed up with in that
fight. The mantis devil is one that we only see partially similar to the
octopus devil. All we see is one large mantis sickle erupting from the ground,
attempting to slash at dengy and power. Despite this, it doesn't seem
too powerful on its own, as they fended off pretty easily. This devil
has a contract with two unnamed public safety devil hunters, and its sickle is
summoned by these contract holders clapping their hands, and of course it is unclear
if there's any more cost to summoning this devil or if it has other forms.
And before we get into the big two spoilers, we also know that
specific devils exist as we meet their fiends throughout the series. These being the
Blood Devil, the Violence Devil, the Shark Devil, and a few unknown
devils which reflect Cosmo Pingsti Long and Kihagi. Anyway, it's big spoiler time
Last Warning three two one. Machima is the Control Devil, embodying the fear
of control and conquest. In terms of how she looks, Machima is designed
to look exactly like Best Girl for some reason, typically seeming like just a
pretty normal human aside from her yellow eyes which have circles inside of them,
Machima looks down on everything and everyone around her, with their only really being
a few feel exceptions, with the big one being the idea of Chainsaw Man,
or more specifically what he represents. She often looks at others the same
way that an owner looks at their dogs, and outside of this, she's
able to manipulate and scare everyone around her into doing exactly what she wants them
to do. This manipulative personality, in combination with her strength and abilities,
makes her easily one of the strongest devils in the series. Of all of
her abilities, the control devils most powerful is actually a pretty subtle one rather
than something flashy. Machima is just able to force anyone that she sees as
inferior to herself into making contracts with her. And if you think about all
the prices that we've seen for contracts and the terms we've seen attached to them,
in most cases, people are typically willing to offer parts of their body
in exchange for the power that those devils have to offer them. It's a
system that is in most cases based on fair exchange. However, Machima breaks
this rule if she doesn't need to offer anything in return, or at least
not anything of real value. Like the zombie devil, Machima could trade for
a person's entire bodily autonomy in a contract with her offering them nothing in return,
as she could force them to agree. Arguably one of the most important
examples of a contract she has made is with the Prime Minister of Japan.
In exchange for working for him, something which also just in general benefits her.
The Prime Minister offers up his people as payment. And because of this,
if Machima is fatally attacked an illness when we passed to a random citizen
of Japan so that she can revive herself in their stead. On top of
this, anyone who is controlled by Machima will lose memories of the moments leading
up to that control, as well as anything they did wild control, and
again this works on anyone she sees inferior to her. This could be humans,
devils, hybrids, fiends, animals, or even corpses. This control
covers their actions, their thoughts, and can even extend to her borrowing their
senses, for example, being able to hear through rats and birds and eavesdrop
on conversations. Or she can just clump together these beings and transform them into
herself for instant travel. And while this control can be broken, it's very
rare that we see it happening. Finally, Makima, like the Darkness Devil,
can emit an invisible force through her fingers with devastating power. This can
be over a large distance if she had sacrifices and a good amount of setup,
or she can do it in close range pretty freely by pointing at someone
and saying bang, something strong enough to eviscerate someone's body instantly. And finally,
let's talk about the Chainsaw Devil. Our first exposure to the Chainsaw Devil
sees him as an absolutely good boy with a chainsaw extending from his face.
He becomes Denji's partner and together they fight against Devil's This is a near death
state for the Chainsaw Devil and only exists as a result of a massive battle
happening just before the series began. His first contract was a trade with Denji
for his blood, and in return, the Chainsaw Devil or Poachyda would help
him pay off his debt. The second contract they form involves Pochyda becoming Dengie's
heart in exchange for watching Dengi's dreams come true. Now, notably, I
skipped over details for most of the other hybrids that we talked about, and
I'm probably going to do the same with Chainsaw Man, because in his chainsaw
form, he's really just a dude. Who can grow a few chainsaws on
his arms and face, as well as like the normal devil, strength and
regeneration. But what we do need to talk about is his normal form,
which is this large, fore armed man with chainsaws on each arm and one
coming out of his head, but this form extending intestines from his stomach and
wrapping around his neck like a scarf. And just like in the hybrid form,
the Chainsaw Devil can use his chains to entrap or tangle up enemies,
as well as using them to get around similar to a mini version of Spider
Man's webs. The Chainsaw Devil is one of the strongest of the story has
to offer. He's called the devil that other devil's fear most and is second
only to the primordial devils like the Darkness Devil. But while he is deadly
and extremely strong, this isn't what makes him so powerful. The reason that
all devils fear him is that he has the ability to erase them. If
the Chainsaw Devil consumes another devil, their name will vanish from the minds of
people on the planet. And since a devil's power is based on the fear
that they represent, if no one remembers that they exist, they lose all
strength and vanish themselves. That said, we do see one devil that he
consumed returning to life, but that's more of a Chainsaw Man Part two issue.
Some concepts or devils which have vanished include World War two, Nazis,
aids, nuclear weapons, and things of that variety, and even eating part
of a devil can have an effect. For example, he consumed part of
the War devil, and while the concept of war remained in the public mind,
no war had been waged since then. On top of that, if
Chainsaw Man happens to vomit up one of these concepts, those will return to
the world as well a set of powers, obviously making him extremely important to
the path humanity takes going forward. And with that out of the way,
that's all of them. Every devil mentioned or seen in the entirety of Chainsaw
Man Part one, covering up to chapter ninety seven of the manga, and
while there are several standouts, I think that the Darkness Devil, the Control
Devil, and the Eternity Devil are easily my favorites. They have such unique
and interesting storytelling devices tied to their characters, while also being pretty terrifying in
their own rights. But which ones are your favorites and which ones would you
form a contract with? Let me know in the comments down below, as
well as suggesting future videos that we can make for Chainsaw Man, content that
you would like to see. If you enjoyed this video, though, remember
to leave alike to let us know to keep more content like this coming,
as well as subscribing so you can be notified when we post something so you'll
never miss a future upload. Or if you would like to support me directly,
you can check out my own channel acts will be where I've been doing
a villain analysis series and even did a video talking about the philosophy behind Dengi's
character in Chainsaw Man. I think you'd really enjoy those, so if you're
looking for something a bit different, you could definitely check those out. For
that being said, though, thank you all so much for watching, and
until next time, I hope you all stay excellent
