Chainsaw Man was a real hit at the time of its release and is still going strong in otaku circles. With a story that revolves around a half-demon who works for an organization that hunts demons, the plot delivers charismatic, captivating characters and everyone is looking forward to its next season. But is it ...
But do you know Chainsaw Man's most powerful demons out of all those presented in the title so far? We've put together a list of the eleven strongest, ranging from the least skilled to the most powerful. Follow us to find out if your favorite is among them!
Ghost Demon
The Ghost Demon is one of the most powerful demons in Chainsaw Man due to its combat potential. He was introduced into the story along with the character Himeno with whom he has a contract.
Himeno can make use of parts of the Ghost Demon's body in exchange for parts of her own. This gives her incredible abilities, as this supernatural being can touch and attack her enemies without them being able to do it back. Not to mention that it can sense the presence of beings and track them through the fear they feel.
Demon of the Cosmos
Cosmo is a demon who, at first glance, seems a bit silly with this business of saying the word "Halloween" over and over again, but when he shows his full strength, he joins the list of Chainsaw Man's most powerful demons. It first appeared as just another of the Quanxi character's involvements as a hybrid demon, but then it proved to be much more than that.
Cosmo has all the knowledge in the world and manages to force people to absorb it. This ends up messing with the heads of everyone who goes through this situation, causing them to be trapped in a state of delirium where all they can think about is Halloween. Sinister, isn't it?
Doll Demon
The Doll Demon is not only one of Chainsaw Man's most powerful demons, but also one of the most terrifying. He hasn't yet made his debut in the anime, but he has struck terror in the manga along with Santa Claus, with whom he has a contract.
Santa uses the power of the Doll Demon to spread various dolls around the world. They can turn humans into dolls like themselves just by touching them, so they too come under Santa's control. These humans turned into dolls can even make contracts with demons in Santa's place and host his mind. Hybrids and other demons are the only creatures immune to the Doll Demon's power.
Demon of War
Despite having a human appearance and being somewhat harmless in the opinion of many, the War Demon couldn't be left out of a list of Chainsaw Man's most powerful demons. He first appeared during the death of the character Asa Mitaka, taking over her body and allowing the girl to share it with him.
From then on, the War Demon uses the name "Yoru", which means "night" in Japanese. His powers range from agility and super strength that allow Asa's seemingly fragile body to fight demons with equivalence to creating weapons from humans.
Bomb Demon
Just as the Chainsaw Demon is fused to Denji's body, turning him into a hybrid, the Bomb Demon is fused to the body of a young woman called Reze. She is already presented as a very powerful person, having been trained by the USSR from an early age.
As a hybrid, Reze's combat potential is amplified and the Bomb Demon allows her to turn torn pieces of her skin into long-range explosions. Her body parts can also be transformed into torpedoes and all this makes her a very important member of Chainsaw Man's list of most powerful demons.
Demon of Hell
Although it doesn't have a very strong ability, the Hell Demon is among the most powerful demons in Chainsaw Man because of the terror it can inflict on its opponent. It has various forms, but when its power kicks in, it transforms into a huge six-fingered hand that can drag the opponent straight to hell.
Being in hell means being in the place where there are the most demons with the most diverse powers and that in itself can be terrifying. The Demon of Hell has only made brief appearances in the manga so far, but it has certainly left its mark on the minds of fans of the series.
Demon of the Future
As well as being one of the most powerful demons in Chainsaw Man, the Demon of the Future is also one of the most famous. He has the ability to predict the future and once a person makes a contract with him, he will also be able to do so.
Predicting the future can be very useful in various combat situations and this is very clear in the fight in which this demon was introduced in the anime. He is also responsible for popularizing the phrase "The future is Pica", which is widely used in the fandom and when it was dubbed and altered generated a lot of controversy.
Chainsaw Demon
This is the demon that merged with the protagonist's body, making him a hybrid. It's one of the most powerful demons in Chainsaw Man because, in addition to its strength and capacity for destruction, it has the power to actually kill any demon it cuts, eliminating the possibility that it will end up being reincarnated.
His first appearance is as Pochita, the cute demon dog who keeps Denji company when he is still human. This is a weakened version of the Chainsaw Demon who later turns out to be one of the most feared of all the demons in Chainsaw Man.
Weapons Demon
The Demon at Arms is one of the first great villains of the series and also one of the most powerful demons in Chainsaw Man. He was born out of people's fear of firearms and gained even more prominence after killing more than a million people in just five minutes.
He is capable of eliminating any living thing within his reach and his strength is so absurd that even Makima couldn't handle him on her own. Denji's powerful boss had to ally herself with six other demons so that she could finally get rid of the Weapon Demon's threat.
Control Demon
And speaking of Makima, how could she be left out of a list of Chainsaw Man's most powerful demons, right? Although this is only revealed very late in the manga, Makima is the Demon of Control and her powers are terrifying, encompassing all of humanity.
She can control any other person or demon that she considers inferior to herself. This allows her to connect with other demons and manipulate their powers through the use of chains. With just a glance, Makima can also destroy or crush people. Do you think you could face her in a fight?
Demon of Darkness
Born from one of humanity's primordial fears, the Demon of Darkness tops the list of Chainsaw Man's strongest demons to date. He's so strong that even Makima can't face him head-on.
He can make his darkness envelop an area at will and is also able to cause his opponents to bleed with just a glance. His speed and physical attack capabilities are also astonishing.
Conclusion
With this, we can see that of all the strongest demons in Chainsaw Man, the Demon of Darkness manages to be the most powerful. Even though Denji has the power of protagonism on his side, the Demon of Darkness was still born out of a primordial fear and, if Makima I couldn't face him, who else could I be?
