I just binged the whole thing and i think something's up with Makima

More seriously, it kicks rear end. Power is perfect. Is "fiend" like, the official translation for what used to be "devilman" in the earlier chapters? Also what on earth happened in Hell? I'm kinda slow on the uptake

So Makima’s subordinate devils names might be mistranslated(not that it’s the translator’s fault) and might actually be named after the Christian Angel Hierarchy

Beam=Bim, as in CheruBim
Prinz=Princ as in Principalities
Power is also an angel rank.
And obviously the actual Angel devil, who hasn’t been given a name.

The Violence devil doesn’t fit this but it was never given a name. All this makes the angel imagery with Makima make a lot more sense. If any more get introduced this’ll be easy to prove or disprove.

EDIT: I guess that would make Denji Lucifer? He will rebel against Heaven(Makima) and get cast out. The painting wasn’t referring to her, it was him.

are you the translator trying to cope to a mistake or did you just like, predict this

To clarify: i say it's likely they're just giving up their own lives, as it seems like they're entering a contract with the Hell Devil. They're giving the Hell Devil their lives in order to convince it to do them a favor. We don't really know for certain what happens to a human who gives their life to a devil, such as when Himeno gave "everything" to the Ghost Devil - presumably Himeno just died when this happened, but we don't really know for sure, so we can't really be certain what happens when you give your life up to any given devil. If doing so somehow sends you to hell, or to some specific torture or something caused by the devil you gave your life to, then that sucks for the millions of Americans that the president gave 1 year of life from to the Gun Devil!!

All americans are bound to hell regardless

I think the question is still why do devils care if you make those sacrifices. Can they use life force that’s given up?

devils find it extremely funny to see a guy kill himself in their name

While I'm here, I only just tore through the series in the last few days and while I know there's no definitive answer for what I'm about to ask since the manga left it ambiguous: Is there a general consensus on what happens when Chainsaw Man eats another Devil? Like, if he ate Power I don't imagine blood would cease to exist and if he ate Darkness I the physics of light would change so do we think it's more along the lines the fears and memories cease to exist? That whole part was just a bit confusing in what it was trying to say. Makima says the names escape even her memory only to list several examples (AIDs, Nazis) of concepts that got gobbled up in the next speech bubble. I don't mind it being weird and nebulous but I'd be interested to hear what you folks made of it.

power is a higher concept than war, same with a chainsaw. if you have power you can build things, and you'll need a chainsaw. you have the fear of power and fear of a chainsaw, but you can build things with both. war only destroys, so I don't see it getting that far lol

Other than Makima, she's the only devil or fiend I can recall who had a name (Power) different from their domain (Blood). Either that means something or the character had been named before the demonology was fully fleshed out.

If she was dead, she'd have come back to life in Hell. It's only because she's still alive that Makima can use her.

Gotta think that death as a devil isn't quite as powerful as you'd think. Many people yearn for death as escape, many think of dying peacefully at the end of a long life, there are cultures and religions where death is not the end.
