IS CHAINSAW MAN AN ANGEL

CHAINSAW MAN IS FEARED BY THE DEVILS

It is a known fact that the devils fear the Chainsaw man because of his power and nature. It is already implied in Episode 6, that Chainsaw man is a threat to the devils. The Eternity Devil even offered a contract to Makima’s special squad to surrender Denji to him, dead or alive and they’ll be free. Despite Kobeni and Arai being on board with this idea, Aki defended Denji because he knew that killing Denji would only merit the Eternity Devil. 

Remember there will be spoilers ahead so be prepared! AND THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO LEAVE!!!!! WALK AWAY!

Not to mention, that Denji also had a hunch that the Eternity devil feared his Chainsaw as you can see in Chapter 18. Leading to the foreshadowing of the hidden REPUTATION of Chainsaw Man.

But what is he exactly? There are a lot of mysteries behind the Chainsaw Man and we need to uncover the truth.

Chainsaw Denji


So, where are we going with this, you might ask? KEYWORD (remember this guys) – Resurrection

Follow this, Denji and Pochita were killed by the  Zombie Devil, but THEN he got resurrected and single-handedly beat their asses. 

Keep this special part in mind, for later, After that, he was recruited by Makima to be part of the Public Safety Devil Hunters, and be  “HER DOG”, as she put it (Chainsaw Man Chapter 2).  So, does the ‘resurrection’ ring any bells? Do you see where we’re going yet? If not, just wait, because things are about to get spicier!

CYCLE OF DEATH AND REBIRTH

Chapter 53 angel devil explains devils cycle of deaths

Remember, the devils’ powers are rooted in the fear of humans regarding a certain object or concept, say a measly Tomato Devil or the heinous Gun Devil. The stronger the fear, the STRONGER the Devil. It was also revealed by the Angel Devil to Aki in Chapter 53 that Devils experience a rebirth of life and death. They might get killed BUT they’ll keep coming back again, and again. There’s just no ‘end’ to them. 

HOWEVER, in Chapter 84, Makima reveals something that IS an outrageous exception to this reality, to this truth that whatever Devil the Chainsaw Man devours will permanently be erased from existence. Therefore, the FEAR people have towards that object or concept will also cease to exist! Which means he’s the only one that can break the cycle of death and rebirth (wish my problems could be erased like that).

CHAINSAW MAN: A GOD

Chainsaw Mans Denji Transforms 1 1

Man coming back from the dead???? Devils spawning from humanity’s fear? And that Man can wipe away the Devils’ existence? 

All these somehow point that Chainsaw Man is a game-changing entity! The man literally came back to life and can erase Devils! 

And that brings us to… Christianity!

This is all related to JESUS CHRIST, the Son of God. He was crucified and died for the sins of the world. As John 1:29 describes, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world,” 

I might be babbling some nonsense, but Chapter 83 solidifies this claim. The title of the chapter is Death, Resurrection, Chainsaw. A Tatsuki Fujimoto—take on Death, Resurrection, and Ascension as described in the Books of Matthew and Luke, the Pentecostal event that describes the death and rebirth of Jesus Christ! 

Chapter 83 Death Ressurection chainsaw

Interestingly, in the same chapter Makima introduces Chainsaw Man’s followers:

Seraphim, is a name of an angel that is present in Christian, Jewish, and even Islamic religions. Dominion, a higher rank of angel, Beam is short for Cherubim. Princi, which is short for Principality, Power, which represents powers, the rank of the angels  Galgali, is tied to the Ophanim angel. Not to mention Virtue, the angel who controls nature, and Angel who’s literally called Angel Devil. 

There are a total of 9 Choirs of Angels in Christianity, but Makima only mentioned eight in the Chapter. So wait, where’s the 9th angel? or is there a hidden 9th follower????

These names are not there by coincidence, it is meant to symbolize a God and his Choirs of Angels. The name Chainsaw Man strikes fear into the devils, similar to how Christ is feared by the Devils in Christianity. This strongly suggests the parallels between the two.  And as if to symbolize something, this is the debut of the Full Form of Chainsaw Man (Chapter 83), which seems like… he’s returning from the dead! 

Not only that, but God is known to also have the power to descend into Hell and save the lost souls there, and the Chainsaw Devil can do the same as seen in chapter 84 where he can freely enter and exit Hell unscathed. He also manifests the ‘urge‘ to help those in need, Makima further explains that the Chainsaw Man will go to those who seek its help, but help is the last thing he gives to devils, instead he ends up killing them. Devils in this world are the embodiment of evil and he will wipe them away!

CHAINSAW MAN AND THE FOUR HORSEMEN

Chapter 98 Chainsaw Man

Even the Four Horsemen couldn’t end him in their first battle that Makima described in chapter 87. Claiming that at the peak of their battle, Chainsaw man vanished,  and then the fire nation attacked—.okay that was a joke but…

You see, the Four Horsemen in Christianity represent the end of the world in the Book of Revelations, this leads to the POINT AGAIN THAT CHAINSAW MAN is an embodiment of God who will stop the apocalypse from happening. 

Weapon Devils and the Four Horsemen

And whether we like it or not, he could be the Lord and Savior! …at least in the world of Chainsaw Man. He MIGHT be the entity that will save humanity from all Devils!! 

Still not convinced? Just look closely at the name structure of Chainsaw Man and Christ. 

 Did you see it? They both start with CH! AND Makima called Denji her dog, dog backwards is GOD! 

DENJI’s NAME

kana denji

For some bonus points, let’s first look at Denji himself. Because Denji might be an Angel… or at least foreshadowed to be one. 

Could Denji be the 9th follower?????????????

The name Denji seems to be derived from the word Tenshi, which ACTUALLY translates to ANGEL!!!! Like, it’s crazy how the fandom picks up on these things. Look at how Denji’s name in Japanese is loosely similar to how Tenshi is written. Just LOOK AT IT! 

This is SOMETHING to think about given that there isn’t any REAL angel in the manga yet.

kana tenshi

Another easter egg to consider is, if you look up DATENSHI in Japanese, this translates to FALLEN ANGEL—  

So Is Denji really an angel??? Or could he be a Fallen Angel??? in chapter 81  The Fall of Lucifer, the painting that depicts Lucifer’s banishment from Heaven,  can’t just be here the moment Denji is ordered to open the door for Power for no reason (Chapter 81)???? 

However, the Chainsaw Man seems to be much more than JUST an angel who fights devils. 

HE. IS. THE. HERO. OF HELL

CHAINSAW MAN HAS NO ORIGINS

Chainsaw Man fame

With 112 chapters released and more to come, we still haven’t gotten a clue of where the HELL Chainsaw Man came from (pun intended) and why is he so powerful.  But with how the story is going, with the Control Devil Arc (Makima) and War Devil Arc (Yoru), it won’t be a shock if Fujimoto has arcs for the other remaining two Horsemen! 


Is Denji going to be able to beat the War Devil? But the War devil’s pretty weak right now…. WAIT is the war devil going to become stronger than Makima????? HOW? Is that even possible?

Everything is still shrouded in mystery

CONCLUSION

Denji and Makima

BUT The manga is still ongoing, so a lot of things are open to possibilities, however, based on the evidence we laid down, do you think I could be wrong??? Where??? TELL MEEEE!!!

Could he be “Jesus Christ” that will save all of Humanity? Or could Chainsaw man have an ulterior motive? 

Guys, Here’s the crazy part, 

With all these Jesus talks, what if I told you we already have the Antichrist that will challenge the Chainsaw Man? 

Do you think you already know? Who do YOU think represents the Antichrist?
