The introduction of Lady Death in Chainsaw Man has ignited fervent discussions among fans, particularly following her debut at the close of chapter 195. Her confirmed identity as the Death Devil in the subsequent chapter has added to the excitement, especially alongside the return of Fakesaw Man.
Interestingly, a recent piece of fan art has sparked comparisons between Lady Death and a character from Chainsaw Man Part I, Kobeni Higashiyama. The artwork is visually striking, but it also invokes concerns among fans who are hoping Lady Death does not meet a fate similar to that of Kobeni.
Chainsaw Man: The Emergence of an Unexpected Ship
Fan art inspired by the Chainsaw Man series often captivates its audience with unique creativity. Recently, one artwork has garnered significant attention for drawing parallels between Lady Death and Kobeni, while a male character closely resembles Galgali, the Violence Fiend. This reflects the uncanny similarities in their appearances and personalities.
Lady Death embodies traits akin to Kobeni’s—both are characterized by their timidness and nervous tendencies. Simultaneously, the male student mirrors Galgali’s polite and supportive approach, highlighting a dynamic where the student solicits Lady Death’s help for a class event.
However, the concerns arise from the narrative paths of Galgali and Kobeni—both serve as support characters who see their significance diminish over time. Galgali’s fate is sealed with his tragic end during a confrontation with the Darkness Devil, while Kobeni’s status remains uncertain.
Fandom’s Plea: Avoiding Repetition of Tragic Departures
Given the earlier character arcs of Kobeni and Galgali, fans are fervently expressing their hopes that Lady Death and her associated narrative will diverge from the anticipated tragic plotlines. Many are vocal about their desires, resonating sentiments like “DON’T DO THIS TO ME”as they eagerly await the forthcoming chapter.
“God I hope this ship doesn’t get sunk immediately next week”- a user commented.
Responses within the community reveal a strong longing for Kobeni’s character, who garnered affection from fans due to her endearing yet nervous nature. Her combat prowess, notably during her encounters with Akane Sawatari’s team, also leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
“I wept”- a netizen confessed.
The emotional response to the fan art has been palpable, with numerous fans expressing their hope for the return of both Kobeni and Galgali. However, hope for Kobeni’s return appears more feasible given her survival, while Galgali’s fate hangs in ambiguity.
“I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING WITH KOBENI AND THE DEATH DEVIL”- an X user exclaimed.
Many fans have drawn parallels between Kobeni and Lady Death not just in appearance but also in presence. The timidity of both characters raises concerns about their trajectories, especially since the last timid character, Kobeni, became an unexpected lethal force. However, Lady Death might differ as her motivations could stem from a desire to protect rather than fear.
