Since Chainsaw man IS supposed to be JESUS CHRIST…
Table of Contents
I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHO THE ANTICHRIST MIGHT BE! BUT WE JUST CRACKED THE CODE!!!! …sorta…
We haven’t seen much of Nayuta since her debut, but there might be a reason for that!!!
Nayuta first appeared in Chapter 97 of the manga and is said to be the reincarnation of Makima. But apparently, harmless… ”As Kishibe said to Denji”… apparently
Though for us real ONES…. Her reincarnation in the manga begs the question, Being a devil, why was she able to reincarnate on Earth, and not in hell??

Are you itching to figure it out, too? Well GREAT MINDS ITCH ALIKE!!! Relieve that itch by scratching that subscribe button for the answers!!!
IS NAYUTA THE ENEMY
Who is Nayuta

We remember that in chapter 53, Angel explains that devils who die on Earth are reborn on Hell and vice versa… well, Makima herself has ceased to exist. But the Control Devil is still here and has taken on a new form, that is Nayuta.
That’s the only logical explanation we can get as to why Nayuta exists.

It seems like Nayuta is a clean slate now! No past memories, No contract with the prime minister, and no thirst to cleanse the world!!! EXCEPT that she’s not entirely Makima-free!!! In Chapter 97, we see behaviors similar to Makima. Her love for dogs, the way she bit Denji, and even calling him “Doggy”!!!
HOW CAN A CHILD JUST INSTINCTIVELY DO THAT????
Makima as SATAN, Nayuta as the Antichrist

Before we continue with Nayuta, let’s first understand why Makima is the enemy of god.
If Chainsaw Man embodies God, then Makima would likely be Satan or the Antichrist that seeks to betray god.
Take a look at this scene in Chapter 76, we see Makima standing on the surface above the sea with her contracted followers. Take note guys, there are 7 of them in this panel. Now, in the book of Revelations it’s depicted there that as Satan returns from hell, he appeared as a seven-headed beast that came from the sea. This image here clearly is a reference from the Bible.
THIS SIGNIFIES THAT MAKIMA IS SATAN AND THAT SHE IS DESTINED TO BE CHAINSAW MAN’S ENEMY!!!!

That’s not the only thing though, the scripture continues that Satan makes mankind worship him… do you remember just how smitten all her followers are? Chapter 86 depicts just how much they are devoted to Makima ever since they made a deal with her.
Second, we know that Makima is EXTREMELY POWERFUL, with how many devil hybrid followers she has in her arsenal and connections from the government. She clearly has omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.
These three actually MAKES HER A GOD, herself… BUTTT because of her nature, seeking ‘domain’ over everything, this is why we attribute her as SATAN.

AND REMEMBER, in Chapter 81 where we see the painting, The Fall of Lucifer, we can take that as a foreshadowing of Makima’s death and solidify her role as SATAN.
In their battle, we know how Denji beats Makima… a death so fitting for Satan–
Joke: well, she ended up as breakfast, lunch and dinner for Denji
Now that Satan, the usurper who wanted to take over Chainsaw Man is gone. NOW begins the era of the Antichrist. Nayuta.
How is an Antichrist born?

In various literature, the Antichrist is described as the being opposite of Christ, so if Christ was born from the conception of a Virgin by the Holy Spirit, the opposite of it is the conception with a Demon… or should we say, a Devil.
Are you confused? You think we’re crazy? Well… we’re about to get crazier because LOOK AT THIS!!!
In Christianity, it’s mentioned in the books of John and Revelations about two separate REBIRTHS. TWO GREAT resurrections will happen on earth, the first one being a resurrection of life, and just (John 5:28-29) … but the second resurrection is the resurrection of damnation, the unjust (Revelations 20).

You remember the two characters who’ve been resurrected in Chainsaw Man??????
DENJI and MAKIMA. Denji had his resurrection and is considered to be a hero, both feared and adored by all humans and devils. WHEREAS MAKIMA’s resurrection is feared by everyone… because of the calamity that she brings, only thing though, she came back as NAYUTA.
Now, we ASSUME, okay ASSUME, that Nayuta has absolutely no recollection of her past life and Denji is taking care of her right now, but who knows, maybe she’ll just snap and… BOOM! Makima 2.0. or just like the Antichrist, she’ll bring forth the end of the world.
Conclusion

In the introduction of Nayuta in Chainsaw Man, it depicts a very similar way to Nayuta of the prophecy, both works go hand-in-hand where Nayuta may hold the power of destruction (Nayuta being the Control Devil and Nayuta with the prophecy) and that they both live with a guardian guiding them (Denji and Kenji, respectively).
I know this is a separate work by Fujimoto, but could this be a foreshadowing for the next arcs of Chainsaw Man?
Knowing that the War Devil is now targeting the Chainsaw Man, Nayuta’s memories of Makima could resurface, and things could get even more complicated..

Could you imagine? Two of the Four Horsemen against Chainsaw Man…
I really think Nayuta is the Antichrist!!! You think I’m wrong??? Then who??? Comment down below who do you think it is.
Nayuta has yet to make another appearance in the latest chapters of the manga… HER ABSENCE COULD BE A POTENTIAL BUILD UP!!!! So whatever role or duty she has… is still unknown…
But what if the real enemy here is just hiding behind the shadows… probably a chainsaw silhouette??? How are we sure that there’s only one Chainsaw Man? Didn’t we see that guy, Haruka Iseumi with a chainsaw starter too in Chapter 112???????
Do you have an answer about this guy? Leave a comment down below
