Are devils capable of caring for others i Chainsaw man? Devils are often seen terrorizing and drinking human blood whenever they can, leading to brutal and cruel deaths. However, several devils, such as Pochita and Power, have the ability to take care of people and pets.

Devils are often motivated by their own agenda; they do as they please unless a stronger devil gets in their way. But this also begs the question of whether they care about others other than trying to incite fear and human blood.

Are devils capable of caring for others?

Devils feed on fear, but are they capable of caring?

In Chainsaw Man, Devils are evil monsters born from the concept of human fear. At the beginning of the series, we see Denji fighting various devils as a private sector devil hunter or within the Public Safety Devil Hunter Commission. This says that people hate devils. But are devils capable of caring for others, humans and devils alike?

There are a few cases where Devils are capable of caring for others to some extent. But this ability also requires a certain level of intelligence. In Chapter 5, Makima notes that Power has a higher intelligence and reasoning level than other devils. Devils with lower intelligence levels are likely motivated only by their base instinct.

The first devil we see capable of caring for others is Pochita, the chainsaw devil. Although Pochita only communicates through barking and whining like a dog, when he is fused with Denji, we see intelligent thought and care. This is noted in episode 12, where Pochita tries to stop Denji from opening the door or remembering his traumatic past. In addition to various occasions throughout the series, Pochita and Denji are seen snuggling together.

The next devil or devil we know is power. In Chapter 4, Makt has a very confident attitude and essentially sees humans as inferior beings. But in Chapter Meowy's Whereabouts, Power's caring personality shines through. Although in season 1 of the anime, Power still only cares about himself and his cat, Meowy. Although Power did not care much for humans, after living with Hayakawa Aki and Denji, Power soon bonded with the two.

Denji… He is my first friend.

After the International Assassins and Gun Devil arc, Power and Denji bonded to the point that Power allowed Denji to drink her blood. Also, in chapter 90, Power calls Denji his mate. Power cares about Denji so much that she gives up her blood to revive him in exchange for finding the blood devil and turning it back into power.

In addition, Makima, the controlling devil, took care of several dogs, naming them and treating them well. This mostly reflects her control freak personality. Dogs are known to follow instructions and obey when trained appropriately. Makima, as the control devil, enjoys controlling others to the point of seeing them as dogs.

Are devils capable of caring for other devils?

Devils normally act alone, so would they care about another devil?

We have seen that devils are capable of caring for others, namely humans and pets. This begs the question of whether Devils care about other Devils. In Chapter 9, it was revealed that Devils can also have relationships. After Denji defeats Bat Devil, who kidnapped Meowy, Leech Devil appears. Leech Devil immediately attacked Denji for killing her “cutiepie Bat” and announced that he was her husband.

This shows that devils are capable of caring for other devils and thus entering into relationships. Angel Devil also revealed that he was in a relationship with a human before he was taken and controlled by Makima. However, devils are capable of caring for others. They probably put their own interests before all others.

In the Falling Devil arc, we learn more about the Famine Devil's true plan regarding the Nostradamus prophecy. Here we learn that the age of men will end, and thus the age of devils will begin. Nayuta, the new control devil, at first thinks it sounds fun and likes the idea of ​​the devil age, showing that she enjoys the chaos that would ensue.

But after the Famine Devil made it clear that pizza and Chinese food would no longer exist, her selfish nature and interests took precedence over stopping the prophecy. Although Devils can care for each other, it probably has something to do with their interests. This is also seen in chapter 177, when the War Devil turned her own children, the Tank and Weapon Devil, into weapons, although the War Devil showed hesitation when asked about it, as she might feel sad to some extent.

Why do devils hurt people?

Fear is not enough for demons to live on

It is clear that devils are capable of caring for others, whether they are humans, pets, or other devils. But why do demons try to hurt people? As previously mentioned, devils are born from the concepts that people fear. In order for a devil to gain more power, they must instill more fear in humans; the more a person fears them, the more powerful they will become.

However, there is another method they can use to gain strength. Devils can drink blood from humans or other more powerful devils to gain more strength. We see this when Denji drinks the Eternal Devil's blood to replenish himself and when Pochita lets Power drink his blood.

While devils are capable of caring for others, this can likely weaken them as well. Devils need fear and human blood to survive and gain power. Devils are intrinsically evil and seek their own desires; however, intelligent devils seek more than their base desires.

Chainsaw man is now available to stream on Crunchyroll.
