Chainsaw Man in Hell

Devils are a race of monstrous supernatural creatures that reside from Hell. They are the incarnation of humanity's fears.


Description[]

These monsters are born from the collective fear of something particular, obtaining the name that correlates with the concept. For example, the Zombie Devil embodies the fear of Zombies. The greater the fear of that concept, the stronger the Devils become. Their physical appearance varies quite a bit depending on the particular object or concept that people are afraid of. The vast majority of them have an extremely monstrous and grotesque appearance, becoming mostly large, reaching colossal proportions such as the Gun Devil, although in some cases there are those whose appearance resembles humans, such as Makima. and Angel Devil.

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 scary on their own but Makima states that a Car Devil would be powerful because you can often think 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; making them effectively immortal. Devils cannot recall any memories from their previous lives and their entire personality resets. A devil whose name is forgotten completely ceases to exist.

Types[]

Hybrids[]

They are those human beings who have the ability to transform into Devils. They have human consciousness and appearance, but can transform into a human-devil hybrid and manifest the supernatural abilities of the fused devil. Notable examples are Denji, Katana Man, Reze, and Quanxi.

Fiends[]

They are human corpses that were possessed by Devils. They 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. Power and Beam are notable examples.

Primal Devils[]

They are Devils that incarnate fears that are found in the human psyche. These Devils are inmensely powerful and frightening. Unlike other Devils, the Primal ones were never killed and they have never been on Earth. The Darkness Devil is an example,

Abilities[]

All Devils in general have the ability to cause fear related to the concept from which they are named, from which they feed. They also consume blood and can make contracts with humans in exchange for a sacrifice. Also they are technically inmortal beings thanks to their ability to reincarnate, which means that if they die in Earth, they reincarnate in Hell, and vice versa, although after doing so they lost their memories, meaning that they can't remember anything from their past lives.
