Warning! Contains spoilers for Chainsaw Man Chapter 135!
Worthy may be one of Shonen Jump’s most outspoken protagonists, but in the most recent chapter chainsaw man is debunking everything fans thought they knew about him, revealing that there are actually two versions of the Devil of the Chainsaw, “black” and “red”. The manga is no stranger to shocking twists and turns, as mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto has proven time and time again, but the most recent chapters signal a shift in how fans perceive the nature of Evil Demons are the main focus of the series.
In Chapter #135 of Chainsaw Man, the Hungry Devil is trying to convince Asa and Yoru to help the Chainsaw Man church. However, the two are at odds as Asa begins to have feelings for Chainsaw Man, Yoru still wants to kill him and regain some of his powers. However, Fami points out that they can accomplish both goals simultaneously because the Chainsaw Man is actually two different people, a “black” version and a “red” version. The red version is implied to be Denji’s standard form as the Chainsaw Man while the black version looks like the form he had when he was controlled by Makima. Revealing them as two separate entities is a surprising twist on some of Season 2’s other great mysteries.
Chainsaw Man actually has two different versions
One of the most mysterious plot themes in Season 2 is the existence of the second Chainsaw Man. This new and evil Chainsaw Man killed Yuko, Asa’s friend after she became a Hybrid Devil and was said to not be Denji, who was sleeping at the time. This is likely the black version of Chainsaw Man that Fami is referring to, although that raises a big question as to how exactly this second version is related to Pochita, the Devil of the Saw. the actual chain that Denji befriends at the beginning of the series.
Fami implies that if Asa and Yoru help the church get rid of the other Demons, thus making everyone forget about the Chainsaw Man, this will turn Denji back into a normal human (meaning freeing him from Pochita and Pochita). undoes his Devil’s breeding), leaving only the black version, implying that the version is actually the Devil of the Chainsaw. This fits well with when Denji is trapped under Makima’s control, as she only sees him as the Devil of the Chainsaw himself, which is what led to her failure at the end of Season 1. Hence. , Denji’s relationship with Pochita must essentially alter the Devil’s manifestation of the Chainsaw in some way other than giving it a different body and mind to use its powers. Thus, the red version is likely a product of Denji’s subconscious idea of what a Chainsaw should be.
Two versions of Chainsaw Man that fundamentally change Denji’s power
At this point it’s unclear what the exact difference between the black and red versions of Chainsaw Man is, but Season 2 will certainly explore that further as it goes on. Famine makes it clear that the Red and Black Chainsaw Man is two different people, revealing another great mystery waiting to be revealed. This is another sign that while Asa may be the new hero of the second part of Chainsaw Man, Denji is still a fundamental part of the story. And if chainsaw man As we continue to delve into the exact nature of Denji’s powers, it may continue to reveal new aspects of his abilities that fans never expected.
