Chainsaw Man Welcomes Its Most Ridiculous Devil to Date
Chainsaw Man's devils are unique antagonists for Denji and his devil-hunting comrades, with many looking, unlike any other creature that has ever been introduced in a manga series before. With the second episode introducing anime viewers to Power and Aki, the series also took the opportunity to show how these creepy threats can sometimes base themselves on objects and creatures you might not expect as the final battle involves what might be the most hilarious devil to date.
To help explain why a Sea Cucumber even gets its own devil in Tatsuki Fujimoto's anime adaptation, mankind's fears in Chainsaw Man's world cause devils to emerge, with the supernatural horrors becoming more powerful based on how scary their original element is. Obviously, a Sea Cucumber isn't that terrifying in the grand scheme of things, which is how Power is able to dispatch its devil in record time. In the first episode, Denji and Pochita are shown taking out a devil that is nearly as ridiculous as the Sea Cucumber Devil, as they cut their way through the Tomato Devil, though we are scratching our heads as to who is scared to death of tomatoes.
Devilishly Hilarious
Following Denji and Power meeting one another, they went on a mission in which the Chainsaw Man's new partner was dying for battle, leaping at the Sea Cucumber Devil and smashing it to pieces. While the Sea Cucumber Devil is ridiculous in concept, the actual creature is pretty unnerving in the second episode of the anime adaptation, appearing to be a pile of gore that is surrounded by fingers and skulls which might represent its victims:
With two episodes in the bank, MAPPA is proving to be the perfect choice for this long-awaited anime adaptation. Season One is set to have twelve episodes to its name, which might not be as long as some fans were hoping for, but it's clear from the animation quality that Chainsaw Man will take time to bring to the small screen.
