Product Information

This volume is translated by Amanda Haley and features touch-up art and lettering by James Gaubatz and picks up immediately where the last volume’s bloody events with most of Division 4 dead and Denji in immediate danger despite being in his devil form. It forces the two of them to come up with ways to defeat him and, thus, they do grow stronger in the process.

People getting squashed out of nowhere, the hottie Makima shows off why she runs the show and it is scary as hell. Death is the eldest and most powerful, [10] Fami (Famine) is the second-eldest, [4] and Yoru (War) along with Nayuta (Control) are the youngest. After being killed on a job, Denji is revived by his pet devil-dog Pochita and becomes something new and dangerous―Chainsaw Man! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The mini-training arc with Denji, Power, and Kishibe was pretty fun, learning a bit more about Aki and seeing an ominous premonition about his future made me invest in him as a character even more.The only Devils known match and/or surpass them in power are Chainsaw Man (whom the four brutally fought in the past), [12] " Primal Fear" Devils, [71] and perhaps the Gun Devil at the very height of its power. Makima's reincarnation Nayuta, though not yet as powerful, is shown to have a complete grasp on how to use her "Control" powers, with her sister Fami valuing her power enough to try to recruit her for her cause. Per some interpretations, they are thought to be referenced in the Old Testament's prophetic Book of Zechariah and in Ezekiel. I'm just letting myself go with the flow for now, enjoying the stupidly funny bits -- "Let's murder him with our intellect.

Makima then places Denji and Power under the care of Kishibe… the self-proclaimed greatest Devil Hunter. The Death Devil's current agenda is unknown, although if Nostradamus' Prophecy is to be believed, she is expected to try to bring about the end of humanity, thereby ushering in the Age of Devils on Earth. Hence, Death is the strongest Devil in existence whose advent on Earth is foretold as part of Nostradamus' Prophecy, ushering in the apocalypse that would end humanity. After being killed on a job, he is revived by his pet devil Pochita and becomes something new and dangerous-Chainsaw Man! War reveals that, having left Asa's brain intact, the latter's self has been preserved, causing the two to share one body, [106] and consequently names herself "Yoru" (meaning "Night" in contrast to Asa's name, which means "Morning").There are supposedly 11 volumes published in Japan, so we are over a third of the way through the story, and I am thoroughly enjoying the mix of violence, humor, conspiracy, and over the top commentary on human nature.
