Chapter 194: The New Members of Division 4
Chapter 194: The New Members of Division 4
In the next storyline of *Chainsaw Man*, Kishibe leads the new Division 4 in their assault on the building where the Katana Devil and the Snake Woman are located. However, as previously mentioned by Kurose, the members of the new Division 4 are anything but ordinary.
To be precise...
They are almost not human at all.
For instance...
Among the army of zombie puppets, a man with a shark head for the upper half of his skull emerges through the wall.
"Hahahahaha! Buffet!"
As he laughs maniacally, his initially human-like head transforms into a massive shark head.
He then dives into the zombie army, feasting voraciously!
"Shark Devil."
The narration on the side explains, "He can swim anywhere, be it through walls or on the ground, and he can revert to his devil form within a short time."
Next, various members of Division 4 are introduced on screen.
A man wearing a medieval plague doctor mask appears amidst the zombie army, using violence to kill zombies.
"Violence Devil, normally devils lose power when they become devil-men."
"But this guy's devil-man form is excessively strong, so he has a poison mask."
"This mask must never be removed under any circumstances."
In the manga, the Violence Devil now looks at another figure: a woman with long hair and a fissure running through the middle of her face.
This somewhat eerie woman suddenly transforms into a humanoid spider with eight sharp legs, continuing to slaughter the zombies.
"Spider Devil, usually disguises herself as a human."
"Like most devils resembling humans, she is somewhat friendly to humans. But a devil is still a devil and can suddenly turn violent."
The revelation that one of the members is a devil prompts considerable discussion among manga fans.
Many had assumed that Devil Hunters would only control devil-men to fight against devils, not that they could control actual devils to battle other devils.
Finally, a handsome young boy with an angelic halo and wings emerges, picks up a severed head of a zombie puppet, and takes a bite.
"Angel Devil, a very unique devil. Though he has no hostility towards humans, it's best not to get too close."
"Because if you do, he will drain your lifespan."
The appearance of the Angel Devil also surprises fans.
Angels... aren't they supposed to be opposed to devils?
Is this Angel Devil perhaps Lucifer?
And despite his seemingly harmless appearance, he will drain your lifespan if you touch him?
That is truly frightening.
The members of the Public Security Devil Special Task Force - New Division 4 are indeed skilled, and some are even devils.
The most critical point is that these devils are under their command and serve their purposes.
This confirms to fans that some devils can be quite agreeable.
So, Makima must have made a contract with such a powerful devil with minimal cost, gaining immense power.
In the storyline, Aki Hayakawa is also leading Division 4 members into battle.
As Aki Hayakawa slowly enters the building, he finally encounters the person he has been looking for...
"Give up."
The Snake Woman, Sawatari Akane, says, pointing at Aki Hayakawa.
"Big Snake, spit it out."
The scene shifts, and Aki Hayakawa, furious, shouts, "Damn it!"
Because before him is the Ghost Devil, formerly contracted with Himeno.
"Ghost, kill him."
Sawatari Akane commands.
...
Another week has passed.
Ke Xin Jie has become a devoted fan of *Chainsaw Man*, primarily because she admires Makima so much.
And she is eager to see Aki Hayakawa avenge Himeno!
At the end of the previous chapter, Aki Hayakawa finally met Sawatari Akane.
But Sawatari Akane wants to use Himeno's former contract devil—the Ghost Devil—to kill Aki Hayakawa.
This not only makes Aki Hayakawa angry but also infuriates Ke Xin Jie.

Moreover, everyone has now learned that the Snake Devil can not only consume everything, including devils but also regurgitate the devils it has swallowed to use them.
The Ghost Devil, having been consumed by the Snake Devil, has become Sawatari Akane's devil.
Ke Xin Jie opens the latest chapter of *Chainsaw Man*.
Facing the familiar Ghost Devil, Aki Hayakawa finds that the Ghost Devil attacks without hesitation, extending its massive arms.
Aki Hayakawa doesn't hold back and directly wields his weapon, severing the Ghost Devil's arms.
However, Aki Hayakawa's movements are now even more agile.
"Much quicker than before," Sawatari Akane remarks with some surprise.
Aki Hayakawa's enhanced agility is due to...
"The Future Devil."
"By using my power, you can see a short-term future through your right eye."
The Future Devil explains in the manga.
This is the contract Aki Hayakawa made with the Future Devil.
As mentioned before, it resides in Aki Hayakawa's right eye and grants him the ability to see a brief future.
Thus, Aki Hayakawa can now anticipate the Ghost Devil's next move and act accordingly.
However...
"Although it only allows you to see."
The Future Devil continues.
And as Aki Hayakawa faces the Ghost Devil's relentless attacks, he struggles to react and is struck in the abdomen!
Indeed, the Future Devil only grants the ability to see the future, not to completely alter it.
For example...
If an asteroid is heading towards Earth, knowing it in advance doesn't change the outcome.
Even if you know an hour ahead, you can't reverse the future!
Thus, facing the Ghost Devil's numerous, octopus-like arms, Aki Hayakawa is overwhelmed.
He is grabbed by one of the large hands around his neck.
The Ghost Devil lifts him, holding him in the air and slowly tightening its grip.
"Just like this, choke him."
Sawatari Akane orders the Ghost Devil coldly.
"Ahhhhh——"
Aki Hayakawa screams weakly.
The familiar Ghost Devil seems to stare at him, as his vision blurs due to lack of oxygen.
At that moment...
"Here's one for you."
It's... Himeno.
She holds a cigarette between her fingers, the tip aimed at Aki Hayakawa.
