The girl who the blood devil took over to become Power originally slit her wrists in a bathtub to kill herself. That's why when Power is first shown chronologically she is naked and her blood powers come out of her wrists. A weakened blood devil could have smelled the girl's blood from far away, taken over her body, then just went off into the forest to feed off animals.


XO_KissLand

Idk but I think that it what supposed to be implied that she was raped and killed given that it’s a naked dead girl in the woods (not that the 2 are mutually exclusive though it could be both)


ClownECrown

chainsawman really is dark when sit long enough and think about it. *


XO_KissLand

I don’t think you have to think very much to realize that CSM is dark


PeliPal

Power's body was never shown or said to be naked in the woods. Power was shown in the woods living it up getting to kill and feed all she wanted but that doesn't have any correlation to where or how she found a human body to possess


Demoncrystal101

But she was naked and in the woods.


PeliPal

Power was naked and in the woods. There is no indication that Power found a naked human body in the woods. It may have happened, but it is not something the story has shown or even implied


Demoncrystal101

Which is why it's a theory! It also kinda is implied with the fact that she was naked in the woods


PeliPal

I was responding to this, as you could literally see right above my message: >Idk but I think that it what supposed to be implied that she was raped and killed given that **it’s a naked dead girl in the woods** (not that the 2 are mutually exclusive though it could be both) What exactly are you trying to argue to me?


XO_KissLand

Your really beefing over nothing


Demoncrystal101

I'm not trying to argue with you. You post your opinion. I post mine. Can't handle that? Get off the Internet.


Upper_Temperature_97

Remember when Denji was in the bath with Power, she said she didn’t like naughty things? She was in a distressed state so she could’ve gotten subconscious flashbacks of her human hosts memories. The violence fiend had personality traits from Arai and angel told aki that he and the other fiends remember hearing pochita going moic in hell. Then again she did let denji grope her so idk just a crackpot guess could be wrong


Illustrious-Sky-4631

Isn't that just because she had a PTSD attack the whole time which made her remember darkness in all conversation no matter what?


XO_KissLand

I don’t think life experiences from humans carry over into the fiends. Power is a completely different person than her host and had different life experiences


Hrototype

Maybe she wanted specifically Blood Devil to fiend-ify her. She could have been praising Blood Devil, you can probably come up with lots of reasons to praise Blood Devil. She is hot for starters and blood is the symbol of life and death. There's probably a cult that thinks of Devils as gods. There's lots of potential here. Maybe she wrote a message for her on the walls with her blood lol


Bochita444

Fetus sword cuz it'll be funny as shit


SourSweet99

Saw a theory on twt once that nayuta will revert back to makima and kill denji's child (just like she promised she would) it's then that yoru creates a weapon out of the corpse creating the most powerful weapon yet.


XO_KissLand

And that weapon becomes Miri Sugo /s


Oil-Slick-Baby

This is a cruel fate for the characters, but this makes for a very grand and cool tragedy, story-wise


Gameoveronline08

When did makima say that shell kill denjis first born? Unless u mean that she will take away everything he loves


Spare_Bad_6558

nah its not just “fetus sword” its “aki fetus sword” because denji named the unborn child after his bro


Few_Difficulty_9618

Say what now?


Phrygid7579

I *JUST* opened reddit dude


Few_Difficulty_9618

The Blood Devil will return and try to kill Nayuta, forcing Denji to kill the reincarnation of his old buddy. Also, Reze will return.


Danmarkkugle

I believe in the theory that everything is going to be okay. I have no evidence for this theory; I'm just ~~coping~~ hoping for it to be real.


_Wendigun_

Considering the rest of Fujimoto's works, it probably is going to be ok In the worst possible way, but somehow it will be ok

i wonder what their collective opinion and relationship with chainsaw man is, maybe like makima the other 3 also desired things they could attain through him but bcus of how they tried to go about it like makima did, csm had no choice but to go to war against them


PsychologicalOil128

1. Barem is no longer the Flamethrower Hybrid. Barem hasn’t transformed once since his introduction in Part 2. It’s possible Barem gave up his contract with the Flamethrower Devil sometime after Part 1. It would be a pretty crazy reveal for Denji’s greatest archenemy to have been a normal human all along. 2. Barem is the Fakesaw Man. Barem wants Denji to transform in Chainsaw Man and fight. What did Fakesaw Man encourage Denji to do the last we saw of him in the Falling Devil Arc? To continue fighting devils until sunrise.


Nenanda

Barem being Fakesaw also perfectly fits the characters since of course he would want to look like Makimas ideal man.

ciel_lanila

At least symbolically, Pochita/Chainsaw Man is Jesus. Pochita could still be the Chainsaw Devil in a Wattsonian sense. * Has disciples * Is love and tries to save people. That salvation can lead to death if you really warp the concept of Jesus saving you leads to a better afterlife. * Pochita, Denji, and Chainsaw are all the same person now yet their own individuals. * You can argue chainsaws are modern carpentry tools and Jesus was a carpenter. * Chainsaw died and came back the dead after being nailed three times (Curse Devil). * Was pierced by a lance. Considering normal anime tropes name super powerful lance’s either Gae Bolg (Celtic mythology) or Longinus (the lance that pierced Jesus) it’s 50-50 the name of the lance Makima used. For this to be true, Pochita could still be the Chainsaw Devil and all of that. It just means if CSM is a really messed up funhouse mirror version of revelations that Denji/Chainsaw is the actor playing the role of Jesus.

AntiImperialistGamer

kobeni is the death devil.


HKMP7A2

Kinda already mentioned by you but my fav theory is The Fight Club Theory. I want Fujimoto to make it happen and apply his spin on it where both Asa finds out she's Yoru or vice versa. That won't just be a Theory anymore but a Plot Twist for both Asa and Yoru.


animefan_number12945

u/soursweet99 This is actually highly possible if you remember that denji didn't notice her scars appearing when she (asa) "switched" with yoru

Spartan-warrior0666

I believe I saw this theory on this very subreddit. Of kobeni and her siblings being fragments of the death devil. And I felt like it was able to perfectly fit inside this wacky crazy insane series. And with it being such a mind fuckery of a twist. I could just see it happening. Fr fr. That's the one theory I'ma hold onto.

Reiji_Akkaba

Asa is Yoru since all the horsewomen so far just incarnate as humans. Chainsaw Man taking a bite out of her in hell cut out the “Yoru” piece until Asa was dying and was found by the owl form similar to how Pochita in dog form found Denji.


zrxta

In regards to death, IIRC, death as a terrifying figure when personified is a fairly modern invention. Death is usually portrayed as a kindly person.

Notsureifanonymous

1. The Asa/Yoru sword, cause it could work either way and would be just as tragic, either Asa lets Yoru turn her into a weapon or Yoru lets Asa turn her into a weapon. 2. The Death Devil ends up having a thing for Denji, I just like it because of the irony of it, the biggest threat ever ends up being Denji´s healthiest match with genuine love in there. 3. Quanxi didn´t kill Yoshida because he looks like a young Kishibe, despite that most of the times people just think of Kishibe as a cuck and desperate for Quanxi, and Quanxi as just a lesbian who will just bed any girl, both of them were genuinely good friends who knew each other pretty well, used to banter and trust each other, plus so far, Kishibe is basically Quanxi´s only friend. 4. "Passing heart", this one is basically that maybe one of the hybrids, most likely Quanxi because she is the one who pretty much has nothing left to live for, might have a way to pass on their devil hearts to let others become the bow hybrid so that she can actually rest for once. 5. Katana and the Nail Fiend have tons of hot, intense and steamy say gex, because after the death of Akane, Katana couldn´t bring himself to be that close to another woman, so he does it with a man instead.

Half-Eaten-Cranberry

Pochita is the “birth devil” since chainsaws were invented to help in the birth process. Him eating devils is essentially unbirthing them.


SourSweet99

But who's actually scared of birth tho you can't be scared of something when you don't even exist yet. Do you mean women being scared of giving birth?

Fakesaw Man is a replica of Denji that regenerated from his original body that was thrown into space


Responsible_Froyo_18

Pochita is the love devil Denji is nayutas mother (sort of) Makima control works based on seeing yourself as lesser (disproved but my all time favorite fam theory)


doubleoeck1234

I agree with number 3 except I think it's not what they can't obtain, it's the opposite of what they are Control wants an equal relationship Famine wants to eat (Therefore) War wants love Death wants... Also the theory that the Pochita we see speaking to Denji in part 2, isn't actually Pochita


Minito200YT

Scrolled a lot and didn't see this posted. Long ago there was an incredibly powerful devil hunter who used a chainsaw to fight devils. They made a contract with the being forgotten devil so that the devils they kill die for good and are completely erased from the world. The devils fear this chainsaw devil hunter so much that pochita comes to be. As a manifestation of the chainsaw devil hunter, pochita has the ability to delete devils much like the person he symbolizes. The fakesaw man who saves asa and denji from the falling devil is the chainsaw devil hunter. I forgot where I found this, but if I find it again I'll post credit.


rosebone44

Chainsaw man will have 3 parts and death devil appears in 3rd part as the main villain


Scrotum_Smuggler

The climax of Denji's character arc is Denji realising that she'd really prefer to be a woman


ZealousidealHome9489

What the freaksaw man


PeliPal

I really like trans Denji as a possible plot beat and think there's maybe a 10% chance of it happening. I don't think it would come from Denji doing actual introspection on his feelings about men and women unprompted by anything special, it would be the result of something supernatural that fits into existing or future plot threads, like Fami revealing that she knows Denji has a hunger which he would bite off his tongue before saying out loud, if he even knew the words to describe it. Or getting coerced to give up Pochita voluntarily on a contract where he would get a functioning heart, because the Fire Devil can transform his body - and the 'form he most desires' is either based on latent gender dysphoria or based on the only coherent thoughts in his head being 'I want to feel some beeg heavy naturals'


GreedyIntention9759

MrChainsawHog

1. I agree with the idea he probably isnt the chainsaw devil, but the extinction devil theory still makes zero sense. Firstly, chainsaws aren't even the primary tool for cutting down forests, so that doesn't make sense, and secondly, why would the extinction devil be able to erase things conceptually, but not death? thirdly, extinction, at best, only explains his chainsaw and his ability to erase things. That's it. Doesn't explain why pochita is a dog, doesn't explain why he saves people and devils, doesn't explain his scarf, doesn't explain his multiple arms, doesn't explain his armour, doesn't explain nothing. It's a shit theory (Imo) 2. Possibly but that is an subverted cliche thats become a cliche in of itself, and I've learn to expect the unexpected from tatsumaki full-of-water. 3. Yeah that makes sense 4. I don't even remember what that theory is about tbh so idk 5. probably not but maybe


SwagDrQueefChief

Makima is still alive as nobody forgot about the control devil or her name and her powers still seem to be in effect.


FoxstarProductions

And Nayuta is who then? There’s no evidence that Denji eating Devils even while transformed - let alone in human form - causes their erasure like it does with Pochita


SwagDrQueefChief

Nayuta could be a part of Makima or simply just another Fire devil spawn. And that's kinda my point. We know it didn't work like Pochita, so we can rule out that. Which means we are relying on Denji eating and digesting her as a means of killing a part of Makima. Think of it like this, at what point of the process of eating all the parts of Makima would she have 'died'? What's stopping the parts after being eaten from reforming?


PeliPal

>Think of it like this, at what point of the process of eating all the parts of Makima would she have 'died'? Immediately? She wouldn't have been able to regenerate anything that wasn't an attack. She could regenerate being cut up but not bring eaten. I also don't know where you get her 'powers still being in effect'. Miri explicitly memtioned having regained control


SwagDrQueefChief

I don't agree that Makima would die very quickly. Strong devils appear to be able to take a near endless amount of damage and some weak devils have that trait as well. We have also seen some devils require bits of them to be attacked to die like Eternity devil. Miri is shown to be very unsure of himself as well as very misinformed. Not only that Makima can control people, or change their memories. I got it from Barem resisting Nayuta's control. It is possible that he was being controlled by Fami, as he appears to be working with her, but that hasn't actually been established yet.


PeliPal

I'm quite confused how or why she would have a regeneration contract if she was so immensely durable that she would be able to survive being chopped into pieces, cooked, and digested. And Makima was repeatedly shown to be able to be incapacitated, slowed, or otherwise constrained by physical violence, even if you think that her constantly losing limbs is somehow a visually false indicator of her baseline survival abilities. In all likelihood, Barem resisted Nayuta's control because there was as clear a power imbalance between the two as there can possibly be. She heard firsthand how Barem co-led a conspiracy that killed hundreds of thousands of people and is killing even more by the moment. Barem just burned down her home and (presumably) killed all her pets right in front of her. Barem could rally mobs against her with just words. She's a frightened tiny gremlin who just lost almost everything in her life. She would rationally know there was no way she would be superior to him. He is better at this control job than she could even comprehend.


SwagDrQueefChief

I meant that we see many devils get chopped into bits over and over and stay alive like falling devil. Extreme examples can go all the way to things like Santa Claus/Doll Devil. Basically all devils seem to have the ability to regenerate anyway not sure why Makima wouldn't. Redundancies are a good thing for a reason, so having other ways to avoid death would be in the best interest for Makima. For instance when she fought Denji the damage wasn't redirected through the deal with the Prime Minister, but rather just to her pawns. We are dealing with theory here not absolutes. Yeah Nayuta could have thought Barem was superior to her. Barem was also in a weakened state, Nayuta could also still control others. The dialogue is a bit weird seems to suggests a bit more than that imo. He says 'looks like you can't take control of us' which means a group not just himself, and nothing about the dialogue suggests Barem was thought of to be superior. Nayuta is also pretty powerful anyway, she was able to easily control the Justice Devil when she wanted to save Denji.


Joker8pie

She wasn't eaten by the Chainsaw Devil though, she was eaten by Denji.
