Calling it now: Whip and Spear are a couple. She's a sadist, and he's doormat masochist (the spear has replaced his backbone, he's literally spineless). They're both terrible people, but they have an incredibly loving, happy, and healthy (albeit strange) relationship. Basically, they're like Nadja and Lazlo from What We Do in The Shadows or The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch from Venture Brothers: good for each other, bad for the world.

Nayuta has the same bite as Makima. Depending on the implications of that, the new Blood Devil being similar to Power in personality is still in play.

Specifically it's the bit a Pochita that the Blood Devil absorbed that makes it possible at all.

Also it looks like Reze, and Quanxi did not join up with Chainsaw church.

Edit: Samurai Sword too, which makes sense given that he hates Denji.

We are still not sure what it takes to completely kill a hybrid and considering that these 4 survived it would be strange if the other hybrids were dead.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Yeah by all indications so far hybrids are capital I Immortal, you can put them down for a bit but doing their activation trigger (denji’s ripcord, katana man unsheathing his hand, Reze’s pin etc) and feeding them some blood will sort them out no problem.

It seems like the only genuine way to kill a hybrid might be to force them to break their contract.

Not if he makes a deal with the time warp devil and goes back in time to save his friends leading to there being two chainsaw mans :shepface:

I think the people joking that chainsawman ate the Y2K devil might be on to something tbh. If Chainsawman ate something like the millennium devil, then it'd just be the 90's forever, wouldn't it? Being able to wipe entire concepts from reality is absolutely wild.

Kishibe straight up differentiating between Denji being immortal and Power being half immortal seems like such a small thing during their training but I never really thought to connect the dots for the others.

kinda wonder why they specifically need Chainsaw Man to transform of his own volition. trying to get him to break the deal with Public Safety?

On a narrative level, I would guess it is less about Denji transforming of his own volition and more about Chainsaw Man simply being present. Chainsaw Man is central to the church's purpose: they want to put Chainsaw Man in a good light, having him save the city from devils while Public Safety is unable to do anything, or perhaps the Church needs him present to bring about a war.

I just came to the realization that the reason why there's only weapon hybrids is that they are tools to be wielded and thus are more amenable to cooperating with humans and ultimately most effective when wielded as well. Also I suspect it's not just weapons, but tools in general. I wonder if there's some other scary tool devils out there that have hybridized like pochita did. Wood lathe man...

Makima explicitly mentioned that Chainsaw Man did that to weapon humans, and it didn't do anything to their existence.

When being erased from reality won't kill you, immortal just might be the best word.

also, imagine all the other hybrids have cute pochita type animal/weapon hybrid forms when weakened, like a sword cat, or a bomb... possum?
