The latest installment of Chainsaw Man has sent shockwaves throughout its fanbase, delivering a plot twist that no one anticipated. In a masterful play by creator Tatsuki Fujimoto, what seemed to be the Death Devil was ultimately revealed to be the Famine Devil. The true identity of the Death Devil was cleverly masked as Fami, who had been using her sister’s name to hide in plain sight.
Unraveling the Mystery: Was Yoru Aware of the Truth?
This shocking reveal has left Chainsaw Man enthusiasts in awe, but a retrospective examination suggests that one character, Yoru, may have had an inkling about the Death Devil’s true form. Revisiting earlier chapters, it becomes evident that the War Devil likely recognized the deception but was unable to share that knowledge.
When we first encountered Fami in chapter 108, she performed the unexpected feat of resurrecting Yuko, a plot twist that raised many eyebrows. During the subsequent Dating Denji Arc, Yoru unsettlingly interrupted a conversation between Fami and Asa, seemingly to warn Asa about Fami’s treachery, only to disappear suspiciously shortly thereafter. Such events point toward deeper complexities in Fami’s character.
Hints and Revelations: The Dance of Deception
Yoru’s involvement in these pivotal moments suggests that a clandestine agreement may exist between the War Devil and her sister, Fami. This partnership could explain the continuous distractions that thwarted any revelation of Fami’s true identity, particularly highlighted during their time at the aquarium when Yoru was on the brink of labeling Fami a “liar” before she vanished.
In chapter 160, Yoru queries Fami about utilizing “that”power, receiving a chilling yet ambiguous response through a mere gaze. This interaction presents two possibilities: either the power was temporarily inaccessible, or using it could jeopardize Fami’s disguise. Fujimoto appears to weave intentional clues throughout the narrative, nudging readers to unravel the enigma that surrounds the character known as Fami.
Unpacking the Death Devil’s Power
As the plot progresses into chapter 198, we witness the Death Devil exerting power over the Falling Devil. The nature of this control—whether born of actual subjugation or mere reverent fear—remains a hot topic of speculation among fans. The implications of such authority underline the foreboding essence of Death as a character.
Conclusion: A Web of Intrigue
Fujimoto’s narrative dexterity shines through this revelation, marking it as one of the most exhilarating moments in the Chainsaw Man saga. The interplay of deceit, layered hints, and Yoru’s seemingly cryptic warnings allows readers to ponder the grander scheme at play. These narrative devices not only heighten suspense but also encourage ongoing engagement with the series.
As fans contemplate the Death Devil’s capacity to command Primal Fears, they are left with myriad questions about her ultimate ambitions. Whether her control over the Falling Devil arises from sheer force or through a complicated web of reverence remains uncertain. Yet, with Fujimoto at the helm, we can only expect the unexpected in future chapters.
