1. #1Devilselective

   Keys: Devils, Akuma, Devil Origin, Devil, Demon

   Devils are a race of supernatural entities appearing throughout the World. They are creatures that feed upon humanity's fears. Devils are born in Hell. All Devils are born with a "name" that correlates to a concept. These can range from highly tangible (Fish, Tomato) to entirely abstract (Future, Curse). The concept does not have to refer to something that exists; there is no indication that ghosts, zombies or angels exist in the world, yet all these names have corresponding Devils. Each name is unique to its respective Devil, though some overlap based on specificity is possible as there have been both a War Devil and a World War II Devil. Devils manifest according to the collective consciousness surrounding their names (for example: the Gun Devil appears to be constructed out of guns and has gun related abilities). They are the embodiment of the fear that "name" represents, so as long as that "name" instills fear, they continue to reincarnate.

   The concept of a Devil itself doesn’t have to be scary on its own, rather its power relies on how much of a scary image it has in the popular consciousness of humans. For example, cars aren’t necessarily scary on their own, but Makima states that a Car Devil would be powerful because of the scariness of car crashes and other car related incidents. Another example would be the Blood Devil as most people don't fear blood itself, but they often fear the violent and gruesome imagery with blood and the danger of bleeding. Devils that die in Hell reappear in the human world; Devils that die in the human world reappear in Hell. Devils cannot recall any memories from their previous lives and their entire personality resets. Despite their reincarnation abilities, Devils are not completely immortal; as they are born out of humanity's fear of some concept, if all of humanity forgets the existence of this concept, the Devil it belongs to completely ceases to exist.

2. #2Devil Biologyselective

   Keys: Devil · Secondary: Physiology, Biology, Trait

   The appearance and physiology of a Devil varies from one to another, as their shape and bodily structure often have to do with the "name" they embody. Most Devils possess human limbs, faces, bones, and other body parts, such as the Snake Devil's mouth being made of interlocking human arms, even their fears wouldn't indicate organs or limbs, given the Tomato Devil and Grape Devil both possess human eyes and limbs despite being based on plants. Other Devils, such as the Fox Devil or the Octopus Devil, don't appear to have these features (at least on what parts of them have been shown). Devils do not reproduce as most organisms do, instead simply "appearing" in Hell. What criteria, if any, cause a Devil to be born are completely unknown.

   Devils who are friendly and are more inclined to humans will take on a very humanoid form in the natural state of their incarnation, some being indistinguishable from a human save from some subtle tells. There have still been some non-humanoid Devils who have been friendly towards humans such as the Fox Devil.

3. #3Devil Healingselective

   Keys: Devil · Secondary: Heal, Consume, Blood, Regen, Eating, Eat, Devour, Diet, Appetite, Sustenance

   Devils primarily feed on the blood and fear of humans, however they can also survive by drinking the blood of other creatures (such as Fiends and other Devils). While fear makes Devils more powerful, consuming blood allows them to quickly heal their injuries as well as grow in power - meaning that consuming humans is more than just instinctual hatred, but often necessary to their survival. For that reason, while Devils and Fiends can also consume other kinds of foods, such as vegetables and fruits, most refuse to live off of them, since it will not heal their wounds or give them more power. It is unclear whether or not their blood is properly nourishing to them, but given consistent remarks that they have a terrible or unusual taste, it's likely that Hybrids aren't as nourishing to Devils as humans (despite being mostly human).

4. #4Devil Lifespanselective

   Keys: Devil · Secondary: Age, Life, Longevity, Aging, Immortality

   Devils also appear to be incapable of dying due to old age; they can live indefinitely until killed by external factors. The age of most Devils are unknown. The 2nd incarnation of the Control Devil first appeared as a little girl, but in the year since the end of Part 1 she has grown significantly, appearing as either a tween or a young teenager. It is unclear whether this rapid aging is a property of all Devils, or just the Control Devil in particular, but it indicates that Devils are capable of aging in general.

5. #5Weakened Devilsselective

   Keys: Devil · Secondary: Weakened, Near Death

   Some Devils also have a "near-death" state where their appearance changes to a weaker form. So far we have only seen two near-death states: Pochita, the dog-like weakened form of the Chainsaw Devil, and the War Devil's weakened bird-like form. Both of these are known to have been incredibly powerful Devils before being weakened, so it is unknown if all Devils are able to assume this weakened state.

6. #6Devil Fragmentselective

   Keys: Devil · Secondary: Shard, Fragment

   As shown with the Gun Devil, Devils can be physically fragmented into several so-called Flesh Pieces. It is unknown how many Devils have undergone fragmentation. It is possible for Devil fragments to be harmed, destroyed, and become Fiends on their own yet for other parts of the main Devil to still remain alive and not destroyed. Presumably, a fragmented Devil cannot be fully killed and begin reincarnation until either all of its flesh pieces are destroyed or just their core. Since the Gun Devil is the only example of extensive fragmentation and was more of a primal force than an intelligent being from the 20% of it seen, it is unknown if such Flesh Pieces retain the personality of the original, each have separate personalities, all lack distinct personalities, or if it varies from Devil to Devil. If one consumes the fragment or part of a powerful Devil, either Devil or human, they will gain more strength than before.

7. #7Interspecies Relationshipselective

   Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Human Relationship, Interspecies, Temperament, Relationship, Nature, Relation, Behaviour, Interspecies Relationship, Relations

   Naturally, most Devils are extremely hostile considering their requirements to feed on the blood and fear of humans. Some, however, are relatively friendly and feed by alternative means: Some Devils, such as the Fox Devil, choose to form contracts with humans, allowing humans to borrow some of their power in exchange for a sacrifice. Other Devils outright choose to become Devil Hunters, allowing them to live in human society and buy food with the money that they make. As a general guideline, the more human the Devil looks, the more friendly they tend to behave. However it is worth noting that Devils do not have human rights and therefore there is no legal repercussions if they are killed by a human. For that reason, some Devils and Fiends are coerced into helping humans out of fear of dying rather than doing it out of their own free will. Devil Hunters will sometimes capture Devils to use them for contracts, the Future Devil is a good example.

   While uncommon, it is possible for a human and a Devil/Fiend to form an emotional bond. In some rare cases it might even develop into a romantic relationship.

8. #8Devil Attack Statisticsselective

   Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Devil, Devil Hunter, Demon · Secondary: Statistics, Money, Earn, Profit, Bounty

   According to statistics, 7 out of every 20 Japanese citizens are killed by Devils. It can be assumed that these statistics are somewhat similar in other countries, meaning that Devil's attacks are the leading cause of deaths around the globe. For that reason, being a Devil Hunter is considered one of the most profitable jobs in society. The average Devil usually has a bounty of around 300,000 yen and their bodies can also be sold at the black market, with even weak Devils, such as the Tomato Devil, being worth 400,000 yen.

9. #9Primal Devilselective

   Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Primal, Strongest, Godlike, Primordial

   Those Devils who bear the names of Primal Fears are particularly ancient and powerful, embodying the most instinctual fears ingrained within the human psyche. Described as "transcendent" beings, they frighten lesser Devils and Fiends alike, including those who have previously been ignorant of their existence. Indeed, having never experienced the death-and-rebirth cycle typical of Devils due to their immense power, Primal Fear Devils have always dwelt in Hell under the same identities throughout human history.

   Currently, two Primal Fear Devils — namely "Darkness" and "Falling" — have been shown, the latter manifesting on Earth in accordance with Nostradamus' prophecy as "the first of the Devils who will shepherd the world to the ultimate terror". Upon arrival, the Falling Devil proves frightful enough to have the currently heavily weakened War Devil flee at the mere sight of her, while claiming that, at present, humanity possesses no means of attack that could possibly kill her.

   However, despite their immense power, the Primal Devils are shown to not be untouchable nor above every single Devil (or at least the threat of coming under another Devil's influence), as the Falling Devil was revealed to be working for and under the control of the Famine Devil.

10. #10Reincarnated Devilselective

    Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Reincarnation, Rebirth, Reborn, Reincarnate, Death, Born, Die, Cycle

    Devils that were incarnated in Hell after their death in Earth and later slain in Hell to reincarnated in different form.

11. #11Devils swallowed by the Chainsaw Devilselective

    Keys: Swallow, Chainsaw Devil, Devils swallowed by the Chainsaw Devil, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Existence Erasure, Consume, Eat, Erase, Devils swallowed by the Chainsaw Devil, Concept Erasure, Erasure, Concept

    The Chainsaw Devil is infamously able to consume other Devils, causing the "name" they represent to vanish from public consciousness while also erasing their physical existence. Barem Bridge speculates that chainsaws may have had many different uses originally, but Chainsaw Man repeatedly consuming Devils and erasing their related concepts eventually left the chainsaws' only use to cut down trees, with Pochita's concept erasure being a remnant of that. Kishibe was unable to recall historical events or things such as the Holocaust, Nazis or nuclear weapons, meaning that the Chainsaw Devil at some point consumed their respective Devils. The specifics of this ability are unclear; Makima was able to recall numerous erased names, and the War Devil wanted to make the Chainsaw Devil "puke" the Nuclear Weapons Devil up. The erasure process can be partial: after the War Devil was partially devoured, the concept of "war" has remained, but no more wars have broken out in the human world. It is possible to make Chainsaw Man vomit recently consumed devils as seen with the Ear and Mouth Devil if his body / stomach is damaged and opened.

12. #12Fiendselective

    Keys: Fiend, Fiends

    Fiends are Devils who possessed a corpse. Fiends are considerably less powerful than their Devil counterparts and are able to use toned-down versions of their respective supernatural abilities. They can regenerate from drinking blood and get strength from it, but unlike Hybrids, they can die if they are fatally wounded. Some Fiends are able to transform into their Devil forms temporarily. They are also unable to perform contracts unlike Devils and humans. Fiends will usually retain their original personalities they had as Devils. However, some Fiends retain more of the original corpse's brain than others, leading to their personalities becoming mingled such as Violence Fiend, who should be inclined towards violence, but instead prefers peace. It should be noted that this type of Fiend is extremely rare, being the exception not the rule, as well as how a "mingled" Fiend is still just the Devil who is conscious that managed to absorb the traits and/or memories of the human as the actual human remains dead.

13. #13Hybridselective

    Keys: Hybrid, Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Fusion, Hybrid, Human Hybrid, Crossbreed

    Hybrids are humans who have merged with and can take on the form of a Devil. Hybrids have human consciousness and appearance, but can transform into a Devil-human Hybrid and manifest the supernatural abilities of the fused Devil. The official name for Hybrids was erased by the Chainsaw Devil, however Hybrids continue to exist despite their erasure for unknown reasons. Hybrids are able to transform into their Hybrids forms by a bodily trigger. Their regenerative abilities are nigh-limitless and they can revive if there is an adequate amount of blood to consume. According to Makima, this kind of Devils are very rare to see, even among themselves, and most people have only ever heard rumors of their existence, to the point of even Aki Hayakawa never thought they existed. In rare cases, a human can fuse with a Devil and turn into a Hybrid. The only known method of becoming a Hybrid is via a contract or surgery, in which the Devil replaces the human's heart. The Hybrid's heart therefore becomes both their source of power and weakness.

14. #14Devil Transformationselective

    Keys: Transformation Contract, Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Transformation Contract, Transformation, Transform

    A type of contract where a human can gain a monstrous or very inhuman form is called a "devil transformation". This appears to be different from the contract with hybrids and the forms that have been seen appear even more inhuman than them. As devils fused into hybrids will gain a mostly permanent fusion with the human who became one, devil transformations seem to be a human's own transformation derived from the devil they contracted with but without the same exact function or triggers shown like a hybrid. A person's own individual devil transformation can look unique even if those individuals contracted with the same exact devil. The people who have devil transformations that we've seen so far are: Santa Claus' contract with the Doll Devil and later the Darkness Devil, Class President, Yuko and finally an unnamed man’s transformations from the Justice Devil. It is unknown how many people with a devil transformation can easily turn back into their human form as Yuko said that she became a "devil" and was trying to find her devil hunter relative who she said can turn her into a human again.

15. #15Devil Abilitiesselective

    Keys: Devil · Secondary: Skill, Ability, Strength, Technique, Power, Abilities, Prowess, Fear

    All Devils are born with a "name" that ties them to a concept. Devils feed on the fear that humans and other creatures have towards that concept, gaining their strength from it. Because of this, a Devil's power is deeply related to how humans perceive the concept and the visual images that their "name" inspire. The more fear is associated with a "name", the more powerful the Devil who possesses it becomes. An example offered by Makima is how a Car Devil would be stronger than a Coffee Devil, since cars conjures up the mental image of getting run over and dying, while coffee does not evoke any scary ideas; another example is the Chicken Devil, which is so weak that it was kept as a class pet for a high school and killed when a student fell onto it. The fear that humans have towards Devils in general is also a source of power that they can utilize, since it was stated that after the Gun Devil attack, Devils grew stronger due to people being more afraid of them. Devils can also feed on the fear that other Devils have towards them, with the Chainsaw Devil managing to become extremely strong by using Devils fear as his source of power.

16. #16Devil Bloodselective

    Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Blood, Flesh

    All Devils can consume blood of other creatures to heal their injuries, it is also implied that Devils can grow more powerful by consuming blood. While all Devils can consume blood to quickly regenerate, powerful Devils have shown to possess better regeneration. Hybrids and other powerful Devils, such as the Gun Devil and Darkness Devil, have really potent healing factors. The flesh or blood of a Devil can be fed to other creatures, making them stronger and even giving them the ability of the Devil they’ve eaten, however this only works if the flesh/blood they ate came from a Devil that is still alive as Denji did not get more powerful or gained the Control Devil’s ability, despite consuming Makima’s entire body.

17. #17Devil Contractsselective

    Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Contracts, Deal, Contract

    All Devils can make contracts with humans, allowing humans to borrow some of their power in exchange for a sacrifice. However, Fiends are unable to perform contracts and Devils are unable to perform contracts between each other. Contracts are a binding verbal agreement between a Devil and a Human. It is a very important concept in the series and is fundamental for the relationship between humans and devils. If one side breaks their agreement that side will die. Despite this it is implied that an "exit clause" of sorts can be added for peaceful termination of the contract, seen when the Fox Devil terminated their contract with Aki yet neither died.

    Humans and their contracted devils can communicate with each other by being summoned as seen with Aki Hayakawa and his contracted devils, the Curse Devil and Future Devil, and with Himeno when she talked to the Ghost Devil's hand. They can also learn how much of a sacrificed resource they have left, such as lifespan, if that is the cost of the contract.

    It is shown that in Japan only Devil Hunters, either private or from Public Safety, can legally make contracts; presumably, similar policies are in place around the world.

18. #18Corpse Possessionselective

    Keys: Corpse, Body, Dead · Secondary: Possession, Inhabit, Possess

    All Devils can also possess human corpses. This in most cases ends up creating a Fiend, though in rare cases it can end up creating a Hybrid instead under certain circumstances. The personality of the Fiend may mirror that of the corpse if the brain is still intact, as evident by the Violence Fiend's polite and gentle attitude. In these scenarios, the Devil may also retain some memories from the body they took over. In rare instances, Devils deliberately would like to retain the personality of the possessed corpse, effectively reviving them, and take over their personalities from time to time. The only known instance of this happening is with the War Devil, who took over Asa Mitaka's body while keeping her ego intact.

19. #19Reincarnationselective

    Keys: Reincarnation, Rebirth, Reincarnate

    Another ability common among all Devils is reincarnation: when a Devil dies, they reincarnate in Hell; when they die in Hell, they reincarnate on Earth. This ability makes them practically immortal. However every time they reincarnate, their memories and personalities are reset, making them completely different individuals from their previous incarnation. However, if the concept to which the Devil belongs is forgotten by humanity, he is unable to reincarnate and ceases to exist.

20. #20Power Boostselective

    Keys: Power Boost, Devil · Secondary: Flesh

    It is said that a Devil or human of any power can have their abilities boosted if they eat the flesh of a super powerful Devil no matter what their original power level was. The current only known examples are the numerous Devils who became more powerful by eating the Gun Devil’s flesh and Santa Claus becoming a very powerful abomination after consuming the flesh of the Darkness Devil.

21. #21Unique Devil Abilitiesselective

    Keys: Unique Devil Abilities, Individual Devil Abilities

    Devils also may possess other supernatural abilities correlating with their name. The conditions and effects of each supernatural ability is unique to respective Devil. Using these abilities usually consumes a portion of their blood. Despite each Devil has their own abilities, these may be common between different Devils or Fiends such as Force Manipulation which used by the Control Devil and the Darkness Devil or intangibility which used by the Spider Devil and the Shark Fiend. According to Aki, a Devil's abilities are undone upon death. Sometimes a Devil's natural ability or special ability may not always correlate or link up with what exactly their concept represents, or at the very least, won't represent a trait that is instantly known with the concept. The reason for these can be because of things like a more powerful Devil being able to have access to more abilities, like how the Snake Devil barely uses traditional snake ways of attacking, such as venom, but has shown "cheats" like consuming another Devil to make that Devil fight on their side. But it might not always or only apply to powerful Devils.

22. #22Forgotten Devilsselective

    Keys: Devil · Secondary: Weakness, Vulnerable, Weak, Forgotten

    Positive Emotions: Just like fear can make a Devil stronger, positive emotions can make a Devil weaker. When a large group of humans develop love or admiration towards a Devil, their emotions will start to eat their strength, making them weaker.

    Forgotten Concept: If the concept for a Devil is often forgotten, ignored or less thought of they become much less feared and can even not exist anymore.

23. #23Fiend Abilitiesselective

    Keys: Fiend · Secondary: Skill, Ability, Strength, Technique, Power, Abilities, Prowess

    Fiends possess the supernatural abilities of their respective Devils but to a lesser degree. Some Fiends are able to transform into their original Devil forms temporarily. They can also restore their health by consuming blood. However, they are unable to make contracts with Devils or humans.

    Power had the ability to revive as a Devil from her pact of blood consumption with the Chainsaw Man. However, it could be that because she is the Blood Fiend/Devil it could be unique to her that this blood pact with a powerful enough Devil/Hybrid was enough to fully revive her as a standard Devil again. Yoru made the claim that if Asa were to help her accomplish her goal, then she would give her body back as a promise. While this could have been just some way of persuading her to follow her orders, it is possible that War Devil (if she really is now the War Fiend that is) has the rare ability of freely leaving the state of being a Fiend without having to die and then reincarnate.

    Note that War Devil was in a severely weakened state even as a full Devil so if it is true, then perhaps other Devils with an ability to de-Fiend themselves can do it even when very weak, or it could only apply to weakened Devils of certain types or a specific status. It is unknown if other Fiends have a special ability or their own individual way of returning to their original standard Devil form, other than a brief transformation, but it could possibly vary from individual to individual on how it works.

24. #24Hybrid Activationselective

    Keys: Hybrid · Secondary: Transformation, Activation, Trigger

    The trigger for a Hybrid's transformation are all based on the weapons whose fears their powers are based on and manifest on various spots on their bodies. The Chainsaw Hybrid has a chainsaw cord on his chest, the Bomb Hybrid has a grenade pin on her neck, and the Crossbow Hybrid possesses an arrow in her right eye socket. The Spear Hybrid has a spear he can pull out of his neck. The Katana and Sword Mans have their respective weapons manifested in their arms. Unlike the rest, the Whip and Flamethrower Hybrids trigger their transformations by making certain motions with their hands.

25. #25Devil Hunterselective

    Keys: Demons, Devils, Akuma, Fear, Devil, Demon · Secondary: Hunter

    Devil Hunters are individuals (human or otherwise) who, as the name would imply, have taken it upon themselves to fight against Devils whenever a threat related to them should arise in the world. They tend to use contracts with Devils as a means of standing a chance in combat against their monstrous opponents, giving them a massive advantage over standard law enforcement whenever Devils appear.

    Counting the Private Sector Devil Hunters, there are over a thousand Devil Hunters in Tokyo, meaning that being a Devil Hunter is considered a common profession. Devil Hunters that work for the government receive a salary regularly, just like any other government employee, while Private Sector Devil Hunters turn in bounties and do not have a permanent regular salary. Other Devil Hunters may choose to sell Devil corpses in the black market as an alternate way to make more money.

    Devil Hunters will also sometimes capture Devils instead of killing them, usually for the purpose of using them to form contracts. The Future Devil is a good example of this. Devil Hunters are also the only people who are allowed by government to form a contract with a Devil.

    According to Aki Hayakawa, Devil Hunters are the only ones alongside the police force to be legally allowed to use a gun. While hunting Devils may allow one to earn considerable amounts of money along with the governmental benefits for those who work at Public Safety, this is considered one of the most dangerous professions in existence. Despite that, it is still a very popular profession, and even schools have Devil hunting clubs for students who seek to become one.

26. #26Public Safety Devil Huntersselective

    Keys: Public Safety Devil Hunters, The National Devil Extermination Public Safety Commission

    The Public Safety Devil Hunters, later known as The National Devil Extermination Public Safety Commission, are an organization of government-sanctioned Devil Hunters in Japan who function similarly to a Fire Department or Police Force. They're sent to dispatch Devils in the event of a threat to the public and are tasked with resolving Devil-related incidents on a smaller scale. Though the threat level of the Devils they pursue can vary, they're generally sent after bigger threats than those working in the Private Sector, according to Himeno. To compensate the fact that Hunters from the public bureau are sent after more dangerous Devils than private Devil Hunters, the government gives them more paid days off and other benefits. Despite the benefits, Public Safety, like all departments that work under the goverment, must also do paperwork and always give well-explained and detailed reports about their activities.

27. #27Public Safety Devil Hunter Structureselective

    Keys: Public Safety Devil Hunter Divisions, Public Safety Devil Hunter Structure

    Public Safety Devil Hunters are split into several different divisions. A notable division of Public Safety Devil Hunters led by Makima employs individuals who are outliers to most of the organization at large, such as Denji, a living human who previously fused with a Devil and Power, a fiend.

28. #28Public Safety Devil Hunter Uniformselective

    Keys: Public Safety Devil Hunter Dresscode, Public Safety Devil Hunter Uniform

    Public Safety Devil Hunters have a basic dress code. They usually wear formal clothing, such as ties and suits, while Private Sector Devil Hunters do not have to follow a dress code, since they do not work for the government. It is worth noting that the uniforms provided to Public Safety Devil Hunters are reinforced, meaning that the suits provide decent protection to Devil Hunters.

29. #29Public Safety Devil Hunter Healthcareselective

    Keys: Public Safety Devil Hunter Doctors, Public Safety Devil Hunter Healthcare

    According to Makima, Public Safety has someone who can reattach limbs. This implies that the Public Safety Devil Hunters also have access to better healthcare than civilians and private Devil Hunters.

30. #30Private Sector Devil Hunterselective

    Keys: Private Sector Devil Hunter

    These Devil Hunters work on their own or in groups with other private Devil Hunters. They are similar to bounty hunters and freelancers, meaning that they are not loyal nor officially employed by any government. They are sometimes also given work by the Public Sector for a certain amount of time. They get paid the price of the bounty on the specific Devil which they capture or kill, however they usually are sent after smaller threats than the Public Safety Devil Hunters, likely because they have less resources and safety due to being self-employed.

    There is little to no paperwork required to become a private Devil Hunter, since high schoolers and children can hunt and kill Devils for money without any legal repercussion. For that reason, it can be assumed that anyone can be a private Devil Hunter for as long as they have the will.

    It is considered an obstruction of justice when a Public Safety Devil Hunter kills a Devil which a Private Sector Devil Hunter is already engaged with, this can lead to the Public Safety Devil Hunter being arrested. An example is when Power killed the Sea Cucumber Devil out of thirst for blood when a private devil hunter had already reported it to the authorities, however Makima chose to turn a blind eye with the condition of doing great achievements.

31. #31Devil Hunter Clubselective

    Keys: Devil Hunter Club

    Due to how popular being a Devil Hunter is as a profession, some schools have Devil hunting clubs. These students are similar to private Devil Hunters and they usually go on patrols to hunt Devils. The specific club at Fourth East High School where students who are interested in hunting Devils go on patrols to kill as many Devils as they can find. An initiation ritual of bringing back a deceased devil by a group of three first-years within a week is required for admission. The Devil Hunter Club seems to share a heavy overlap with the school's student council, as its president, Haruka Iseumi, repeatedly referred to it as the "Student council-slash-Devil Hunter Club.". Members of the Devil Hunter Club include: Asa Mitaka, Yoru (via Asa), Yuko (Deceased), Hirofumi Yoshida, Haruka Iseumi (President), Seigi Akoku, Furio (Unknown), Fami, Nobana Higashiyama and Fake Chainsaw Man.

    Keys: Tokyo Special Division 4

    Tokyo Special Division 4 was a special subdivision within the Tokyo Public Safety Branch created by Makima as an experimental unit, which later came under the command of Captain Kishibe. The composition of this division is different from other divisions, consisting of Fiends, Devil Hybrids, and humans alike. Many of them are outliers and are considered powerful, yet disposable by Public Safety due to their nature. After Makima's death, the division has become defunct owing to its members being deceased or having resigned. The members included: Makima (Head; Formerly), Kishibe (Captain Formerly), Aki Hayakawa (Deceased), Power (Deceased), Denji (Resigned), Princi (Unknown Fate), Angel (Deceased), Himeno (Deceased), Fushi (Deceased), Madoka (Resigned), Hirokazu Arai (Deceased), Unknown Division 4 Female Member (Deceased), Kobeni Higashiyama (Resigned), Beam (Deceased) and Galgali (Deceased)

36. #36Tokyo Special Division 5selective

    Keys: Tokyo Special Division 5

    Special Division 5 was a special subdivision within Tokyo Public Safety Branch founded by Makima, who serves as the group's leader.

    The division solely consists of Makima and the Weapon Devil Hybrids, who had previously worked for her and the other members of the Four Horsemen in order to try and kill the Chainsaw Devil. As such, Makima created the division to use them again in order to defeat the Chainsaw Devil once and for all. This is despite some members, such as Katana Man, previously acting antagonistic towards her.

    Due to their defeat, as well as Makima's demise, Special Division 5 disbanded. According to Miri Sugo, they are now members of the Chainsaw Man Church. The members included: Makima (Head; Deceased), Quanxi (Controlled; Formerly), Katana Man (Controlled; Formerly), Reze (Controlled; Formerly), Miri Sugo (Controlled; Formerly), Unnamed Spear Hybrid (Controlled; Formerly), Unnamed Whip Hybrid and Barem (Controlled; Formerly)

    However, despite the original group's defeat, a second iteration of the group was formed once more to subdue the Chainsaw Devil, with its core members consisting of various Devils and Fiends.

40. #40Fourth East High Schoolselective

    Keys: Fourth East High School

    Fourth East High School is where Denji, Asa Mitaka, Yuko and Hirofumi Yoshida go to school, located somewhere in Tokyo, Japan. This high school is large and sprawling, located in a heavily populated area of Tokyo. At least five stories tall, it provides a wide view of the city from the rooftop, allowing a person to see the decrepit cityscape of apartments, buildings, and factories. Its hallways are comparable to that of any other school, seeming to mostly be polished and well-built.

    The school offers Chainsaw Man buns, which Asa despises.

    The school also has a Devil Hunter Club.

41. #41Family Burger Restaurantselective
