Eh, I don't think I buy that it was "amped up." It seemed like that sacrifice was simply the cost of forming a contract with the 20% Gun Devil. If those lost years actually fed directly into its power, than I'd have to imagine that the president would either have sacrificed less in order to minimize the loss, or would have sacrificed even more in order to guarantee Makima's demise. And more importantly, buffing it like that would - from a narrative perspective - heavily undermine the idea that so much destruction was caused by 1/5 of the Gun Devil's full power, which I don't believe the author would do after all that build up he did around the Gun Devil's strength.

I don't think the Gun Devil just "moved around really fast" as you suggest. Interestingly, it didn't hit any European of South American countries, nor any countries deeper into the mainland. Additionally, we can see it appeared above a body of water.

But then the bombshell drops: the people claiming they were ordered by the gun devil? They were LYING, they were jsut doing what THEY wanted to do and used him as an excuse (subtly referenced in Makima's dealings with a Yakuza). The other devils were jsut using his power as they wished, driven by a personal dsire to kill chainsaw man. The gun Devil isn't even AWAKE. Hes split into peices and kept in storage by several world powers and only acts when released by someone else. He is NOT an active force, he's barely even an actualy CHARACTER. And yet dspite not being the REAL villain, the actual big bad uses his presence to further her own goals, AND the gun devil hmself is still a massive destructive threat in and of his own.

The most chilling part about the death toll breakdown is they sound pretty close to yearly gun related deaths in those countries. Edit: Likely closer to those killed in the line of duty and deaths due to military action of those countries whether it be against their civilians or foreign powers I wasn’t clear with my original comment, so rather than a symbolic condemnation of civilian owned firearms the Gun Devil more so represents the fear and use of firearms overall even by the government, so in a way in the Chainsaw man universe the Governments of chainsaw man were keeping pieces of the Gun devil not as some doomsday weapon but they were trying to change the nature of the devil itself by changing the primary object of its fear, rather than a chaotic force wieldable by anyone where anyone could be the victim they change it into a force only wielded by those within positions of power through strict gun laws. You’ve seen the Darkness devil and it’s representation of the astronauts but I ask besides from an aesthetic and thematic standpoint what is the in universe explanation for a primal devil having astronauts in its representation, rather than some ancient fear of the dark or unknown like a prowling wolf or nondescript predator lurking in wait. I propose that the changing of these fears and the expansion of them within the majority of humans changes the devil itself and it’s nature a fact which the world powers in Chainsaw Man are well aware of.

I love how the implication of the Gun Devil always means that at some point it formed in Hell and had to be killed when it was feared so greatly by something even more powerful. LOVE the concepts in this series.

[@rianmela3825]

I've imagined the idea of a clown devil and I have thought of so many ways they can add to it if it ever becomes an actual character. Like when it first shows up, its all of a sudden, and he appears as a normal clown, but with uncannily long legs and a constant smile. I'm really hoping a clown devil becomes a thing, no matter how they portray it as. Because in the modern day at least, that thing would be OP as hell.

[@TheGhostKnight2023]

Honestly I wasn't into chainsaw man till my friend who introduced me showed me this monster. Like it's legit horrifying that almost 1.2 million were killed just because this thing came out the wood works. Also I gotta give credit to Fujimoto saying that all this carnage happened in just five minutes. To be a little on the nose, all those deaths happened with a pull of a trigger. Also when he wanted the gun devil to make an impact, giving it to basically say "Everyone that was born in this month during the third week" and next thing you know ten people are ripped apart is terrifying and there is nothing you can do. You try to restrict guns, people are just gonna find another way to get a gun, making the threat of guns worse, making the gun devil stronger

[@TaigaXsenpai]

with all these superhero references I have a feeling that author took inspiration from Spawn. Characters who is not really a superhero, as he is more supernatural character. However, due to his design highly resembling superhero and him patrolling streets fighting thugs like Batman made everyone consider him superhero story.

Why is no one pointing out the fact that even if a person gets exempted from being shot by the Gun Devil (being born on April, July, and October) that person could still die from the utter catastrophic damages? For instance, my birth month could be July but the falling train I'm on could just lead to everyone else's and my death as well.

The Gun Devil is one of the best parts of Chainsaw man he is the reason why Devil's are feared in the first place and is built up as this main baddie only to have been taken out years ago and yet while becoming a mental obstacle for Denji to overcome when Aki turns into the Gun Fiend. As tragic as Aki's death was People all over the world thought of Denji as a hero and ironically enough Despite Makima's plan of the fear of Chainsaw man being gone supposedly making him weaker seeing everyone supporting and cheering on Chainsaw man gave Denji the determination and drive to kill Makima. In a sense it feels like Poetic justice and its so damn satisfying to read even though I as a reader am still terrified of the gun devil it still represents how overcoming your fear is essential for achieving your goals.

[@jasonb638]

So saw this video when it came out (subbed btw), and it peaked my curiosity for Chainsaw Man. Diving down the CM rabbit hole, I absolutely fell in love with the story and find this to be one of the best written manga I've read (my favorite story is Berserk, so I'd like to think I know quality writing when I see it, but to each their own), but just wanted to give a thanks for introducing me to this incredibly entertaining story, really pumped they rolled out the anime and can't wait to see where they take part 2

I'd like to think that the Gun devil when he was defeated was because makima and chainsawman teamed up to deal with him cause the bullets flying around interfered in their fight. Its possible that after they defeated the gun devil makima inmediately used a contract with the hell devil to push csm into hell where the other weapon devils surprise attacked him almost defeating him since he was weakened after being shot by the gun devil.

[@asherville7163]

Honestly the fight with the gun devil is my favorite thing in media ever and cements my love of Fujimoto's work. I wish to make an indept analysis one day like this video but the gun devil was so incredibly hyped up. From when we 1st hear of it, to hearing what it did and how one of our character's lives was ruined by what it did and has been seeking revenge. On top of all of this, Makima said she'd do one thing for Denji if he killed it and being Denji, originally wanted to probably get laid so like. Motivation. And it could have been such an epic fight! With fight scenes getting like, 500k views, easily could have been a really hyped and well choreographed battle getting millions of view. Instead we get to see it from Aki's point of view, and how to him, it was a snowball fight while he waited for his brother to get a mitten. That choice made this a 'fight' scene one that has and always will stick with me and the raw emotion I felt watching Aki fling 'snowballs' at people. It's brilliant. It was such a risk but Fujimoto wasn't even afraid to take that, it's so clear how confident he was in executing that from the setup as early as chapter 4(?)

Something worth mentioning is I don't think the Gun Devil, itself, was literally visiting every one of these countries. I think it just kind-of started sniping around the world and THAT is the time that's being measured. Not how long it spent in each place, but for how long it was FIRING ON each place. Still insanely powerful, but with what this thing is, that honestly feels way more fitting.

Late and you probably figured it out by now, but pieces of the gun devil were scattered all over the world because of how fast it was moving

@@boggy7091 Yeah, it was a while since I read the series, but watching the anime they do explain that. Which is still insane, because I mean, it's a giant gun monster! You'd think the pieces would be from the giant bullets or something and not parts of the body. Heck, looking back, it seems like they might even be parts of the ammo belt or something because of how they're shaped...? But it might just be just so they're recognizably bullet-like as a visual.
