Chainsaw Man Explains How Many Humans are Killed By the Devils

The world of Chainsaw Man is a gruesome one, with blood and guts involved in nearly every battle. While the story from Tatsuki Fujimoto took a hiatus following the conclusion of its first part, the second chapter of Chainsaw Man has arrived in full force. Now, a startling statistic has arrived thanks to the latest installment of the manga series, revealing just how many humans are killed by devils on a regular basis in this fictional world. Needless to say, it might come as a shock to readers.  

Warning. If you have yet to read the latest chapter of Chainsaw Man, Chapter 101, you might want to steer clear as we’ll be diving into some serious spoiler territory.

With Asa striking a deal with the War Devil following her death at the hands of a classmate, the young student is now seeking out Denji for reasons of vengeance, though why the War Devil has an ax to grind remains a mystery. Joining up with her school’s “Devil Hunting Club”, Mitaka is privy to a political speaker who breaks down the truly disturbing facts when it comes to how many folks die at the hands of devils:

“About twenty people have currently stopped to listen to me. Out of those twenty, only five will get to die of old age. Out of the rest, five will die of illness. One will die in a traffic accident, one will die from homicide, and one more will commit suicide. The remaining seven will all be killed by devils. Seven out of every twenty lives are abruptly snuffed out in devil attacks! Make no mistake! Mankind is at war with the devils!’

Of course, while this speech is taking place, Asa runs into a devil who looks quite similar to the Bat Devil, one of the earliest “big bads” of the series that had Denji teaming up with Power to fight. Unfortunately for Mitaka, the War Devil explains that they are not currently at a level wherein they will be able to defeat this gruesome goliath.
