Since the 2022 premiere of its anime adaptation, Chainsaw Man It has become a global phenomenon that has only grown. Let us remember that this work is written and illustrated by the mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto, standing out for its twisted and profoundly philosophical history leads us to explore the darkest corners of humanity, suffering and identity, all under a constant shower of blood, viscera and complex emotions.
As the second part of the manga continues in serialization and the anime advance, fans have begun to develop theories that, far from being simple guesswork, become authentic windows to the abyss. These are The 10 Darkest Theories of Chainsaw Man. Some could completely change your perception of history.
10. Pochita is the demon of fear in Chainsaw Man
We know that pochita is the chainsaw devil. But what if it is not? What if it is something even more feared? This theory holds that Pochita is actually the demon of fear, the primary source of all other demons, and that is why it is so powerful. in the universe of Chainsaw Man, demons are born from the fear generated by humans, so fear itself could have its own entity. pochita He has unique abilities like completely erasing other demons from existence, something that no other demon so far has been able to do. He is even feared by even the most powerful demons, such as the Pistol demon.
If this theory is confirmed in the future, pochita Not only would he be the most powerful being in hell, but also the root of all evil. This would radically change the relationship between him and denji, and the meaning of his initial sacrifice.
9. Denji loses his soul every time he transforms
Everytime that denji pulls the rope from his chest and becomes Chainsaw Man, not only his body physically changes, his soul also suffers. the transformation of denji He could be consuming it slowly, stealing his humanity at every step.
The theory that is gaining quite popularity posits that, by becoming demon again and again, Denji is losing part of his soul and his ability to feel emotions. This would explain why it becomes more indifferent, more brutal, and less emotionally connected with others.
Let us remember that in a world where the line between humans and demons constantly fades, denji He could be walking to a point of no return.
8. Makima was the heroine all the time
Makima It is, without a doubt, one of the most complex and disturbing characters seen in Chainsaw man. But… what if his apparent evil had a higher purpose? This theory suggests that Makima was trying to save the world, do not destroy it.
His obsession with the chainsaw demon could have been a way to impose order and eradicate chaos. Instead of a tyrant, Makima It would be a biblical figure of divine judgment, using extreme methods to prevent total destruction. a kind of distorted Messiah, who saw in denji The tool to clean the world, even if the price was everyone’s freedom.
7. Aki and Power are trapped in Denji’s mind
We know that here and power They died, but users on social networks signal that they may still be alive. This theory suggests that Their souls are trapped inside Denji’s mind, absorbed by their powers or by trauma.
denji He carries immense guilt for his deaths, and that guilt could have fused his consciences with his. Perhaps denji It keeps them alive unconsciously, like an anchor that prevents it from completely losing its humanity. more than dead, here and power They would be internal ghosts, locked up inside their executioner and friend at the same time.
6. Denji is already dead in Chainsaw Man
One of the craziest theories claims that denji could have died at the end of the first part of Chainsaw Man and that he would be living in a kind of limbo created by pochita. By joining him, he was not simply healed, but replaced.
In itself, it is theorized that what walks in his body now would be pochita using her body as a puppet, and the “life” of denji It would be an illusion. Alternatively, it can be understood as denji He is already emotionally dead, an empty carcass after losing everything. In any case, Denji could be nothing more than a shadow of what he was.
5. Demons can manipulate readers
A particularly target theory posits that Demons in Chainsaw Man can break the fourth wall and manipulate their audience. As demons gain power from fear, readers and viewers could be giving them strength without knowing it. In other words, you, reader, are contributing to horror in feeling it.
Some moments of the manga seem self-aware, as if the characters know they are being watched. This theory puts Chainsaw Man at the height of works such as Neon Genesis Evangelion or Puella Magi Madoka Magica, where history not only talks about you, but uses you.
4. Power will return as Denji’s worst enemy
in its purest form, The blood demon could return without memories or affection to Denji, and I would see it as a threat. As Chainsaw Man and blood demon They are opposing forces, this return would be too epic and tragic. power, in its most brutal and unleashed form, could be the most difficult enemy that denji in front never.
3. Makima trained Denji to replace her
This theory suggests that Makima wanted to mold Denji to become the new Devil of Control. By breaking it emotionally and making it depend on it, it would be ensuring an ideological heritage. Nayuta would be just a biological container; the true successor of Makima would be denji.
It is even suggested that Makima divided her soul between Nayuta and Denji, ensuring that your legacy of control is still alive in both. Thus, its influence would not only last… but it would dominate the future of the world.
2. Denji will destroy the concept of humanity
This is the most terrifying theory of all, denji, like Chainsaw Man, could be Eliminating little by little the pillars that support humanity, from love to pain. Instead of protecting humans, it would become the ultimate tool of its dehumanization. At every step, its power to erase the demons from fear would also be erasing the abstract concepts that define us.
1. Chainsaw Man will become a god
In the second part of the manga, we have seen how Chainsaw Man has ceased to be a feared entity to become A figure idolized by the public, especially among teenagers. It is no longer just a monster, now it is a symbol, a celebrity and a cult figure.
This theory suggests that Chainsaw Man He is on his way to becoming a God, but not a God of love or peace, but a god of fear and worship. as the destructive deities of various mythologies (as Shiva In Hinduism or Saturn in Roman mythology), denji It could evolve into a figure that embodies both annihilation and rebirth.
His ascent would mean the end of his humanity. At the climax of its history, denji could disappear completely, consumed by Chainsaw Man, leaving in place a divine entity that reigns over fear and desire.
