Did nobody realize the panels were very intentional in chapter 111, showing Denji asleep while Yuko got bdroom'ed? There's been a second one this whole time. It's probably Pochita still running around solo after the Makima gambit.

My money is he hangs out with Kobeni now.

Except Denji shoved Pochita back into his chest then, because otherwise he'd, you know, die. Also, he and Denji talked in Denji's dreams at the end.

Denji's mind is in a perfect state of Being. He isn't interested in knowing what he can do and pays no heed to what he can't do. Ergo, he can do anything.

I also guess Death as the thing that looks like Chainsawman, mostly because I feel like it's time to get the last horseman out there in some capacity. Also, thoughts on Death taking the form of the death devils fear, how powerful are the horseman on their own really?

Control isn't much herself (maybe), even when Makima was like the most feared thing by many countries leaders she was only rad af because of the contracts(?). Has her spy/teleport animal thing and standard devil super strength or w/e but also was fighting weakened Chainsaw so idk.

War can make things she values into weapons (because war destroys the things you love, got it) but what does a Devil really value? If it was just she truly values weapons or something then she could bootstrap herself to a real terror on her own. We don't have a whole lot to go on since we met her as a doofy bird, but I'd guess she uses a human with some cause as a conduit to make wars happen even outside of her current Asa brain situation. A war is more that just a series of destructive acts.

Fami summoned(?) Justice devil to hook up with the one girl, and poor Infinity devil at the aquarium. Hasn't done anything scary herself although we haven't seen her much so idk.

Death able to embody the death you fear but being fairly detached or passive would kinda break the pattern, but probably it'll be more interesting that whatever I can think up.

I think it'd be plain more interesting to have the horseman not only have their own goals and agendas, but be more linked to people than just more fear = more power. It would also keep them from rivaling the primal fears in raw power, while still letting them be big shots on the human side of the doorway. The ones we know are brighter than like the Bat devil that's a menace because devils just be like that (okay Yoru is a little dumb). Anyway Power will return with all her memories because she's too dumb to remember to forget a genius

I would love it if in the middle of a fight scene we just cut to a panel or two of Yoshida washing dishes to pay off the food Fami ate because the check was too much to write off as a business expense and he didn't have any cash, then we just immediately go back to the fight.

A weakened Chainsaw Man that could take on every other hybrid at once alongside a small army of Public Safety mooks, and achieve a mutual kill against the lot in a straightforward slugfest. (And the mutual was only due to Quanxi, the toughest close quarters fighter in the history of the human race, with who-knows-how-much experience.)

Makima was deliberately choosing her weakest approach and still going blow-for-blow with one of the most powerful devils in existence. (Sure, he was nerfed a bit, but considering full power Pochita seemed to scare primals, the nerf doesn't speak too badly of Makima's effectiveness.)

We also see that no-contracts Nayuta can one-shot War with no effort, which at least suggests Makima has some power by default.

Fair enough, although by the time of the comic, even though Gun devil was getting all the press she was the most feared devil by many very powerful people, and had been for some time. I guess I just don't see the baseline Control devil solving problems with her iron fists, and not just as like a personal preference. Winning against War in an Asa mobile doesn't seem like a fair test of strength either.

We do, though. There's a whole chapter that's nothing but the baseline Control Devil solving problems with her fists. Contracts make it so she can't lose, but the damage she deals is her own, and it's an important part of the plot that it has to be.

Control is a pretty major human fear. Makes sense its embodiment would be one of the more dangerous ones, even if she is a bit of a glass cannon by default.

Makima's fisticuff time was the last phase of a god knows how long elaborate plot to pit herself at the peak of her power against a Chainsaw presumably as weak as she could make it, physically by throwing an absolute fuckton of devils at it and supernaturally by making it not-feared/loved. Only then was there a (almost childishly simplistic) confrontation where she could be superior to it to her satisfaction. "Heh I beat you up that makes me the boss!" Like I'm not saying Control isn't strong or can't throw a punch lmao, just that it needs to augment it's strength with something more than just human fear juice to go up against strong but uncomplicated bruisers like Gun. I think War and Famine seem to operate in a similar fashion, and that Death may as well. Certainly it's more interesting, and would necessitate a better understanding and more complex relationship to humans than "make scared, become swole"

The strongest is Indefinite Hiatus Devil, just absolutely devastating and feared by all

I'm not following this. Makima is the only one who offered even a modicum of resistance to the Darkness devil and from what we can tell those Primal Fear devils are the strongest out of all of them. She didn't really use her Prime minister contract during that encounter either. Darkness also had some sort of interest in Makima (the arms) fsr. So I don't really think it's the case that the Horsemen devils are weak at all, if anything I'd imagine they're the strongest of the non-primals when healthy
