Warning: SPOILERS for Chapter #138 of Chainsaw Manchainsaw man Sets up the return of some fan-favorite characters thanks to a surprise reveal: the return of hybrids. Near the end of Chainsaw Man season 1, Makima assembled a group of brainwashed hybrid demons to subdue Chainsaw Man to her plans. While they were all defeated, the hybrid demons have proven to be functionally immortal, but they haven’t appeared in season 2 until now.
Chapter #138 of Chainsaw Man ended with the unexpected return of the Half-Blood Demon Longsword, which now belongs to Sword Man, so if he does return, it will set a precedent for other hybrid demons to return. again, most notably Reze and Quanxi. If that happens, then Chainsaw Man could finally wrap up some of the plot points left over from season 1 and solve some of the series’ most baffling mysteries, which, surprisingly, all revolve around. around the Half-Blood Devil.
Chainsaw Man’s evil hybrid remains a great mystery
The return of the Chainsaw Man hybrid seems to be a certainty, and that raises the question of where they have been since their defeat in season 1. Yuko is the only hybrid to appear in Chainsaw Man. season 2, but her status was never clearly explained, and she was apparently killed by the second Chainsaw Man. However, the return of the Sword Devil hybrid suggests that all others should survive as well. Since Kishibe helped clean things up after Makima’s death, it’s likely that he imprisoned them or moved them to a place where the governments of the world couldn’t get a hold of them.
With the reappearance of Sword Man in Chainsaw Man chapter #138, there is now a precedent for Reze and Quanxi to return, and both are characters to return. For Quanxi, her first Demon Hunter status has heavy significance that was not explored in season 1, so her return could be a means to further develop the lore of the series. Quanxi’s return could also help further develop Kishibe’s personality when he finally returns, and given how mysterious he is as a character, there could be a lot of value in that. . Of course, the character that can add the most when they return is Reze. As Denji’s first true love, Reze has a deeper connection to Denji than most other characters, so her return could not only grow significantly for both of their characters. them, especially given Denji’s current romantic arc with Asa.
The chainsaw man needs to bring Reze and Quanxi back
Of course, there is also a great mystery as to how the hybrid weapons continued to exist, despite being eaten by the Chainsaw Man, which erased their names and memories from the world. This may be related to the theory that hybrids are immune to some of the Devil’s powers, as demonstrated in chapter #118, when Denji resisted Yoru’s transforming powers. The appearance of Sword Man is hopefully a clue that the mysteries of Devil Hybrids will finally be solved, along with the return of popular characters like Reze and Quanxi, which will really make chainsaw man excited fans.
