Top 15 Strongest Devils in Chainsaw Man Manga – Ranked!

The world of Chainsaw Man’s devils is the main reason fans are so invested in the series. Devils in CSM are supernatural creatures that feast upon the fears of humanity, manifesting as the embodiment of those particular fears.

In today’s article, I’m going to list the top 15 strongest devils in the Chainsaw Man manga.

P.S.: I won’t be mentioning devils that haven’t yet manifested in the manga. For example, the Punishment Devil has only been mentioned and not actually appeared.

The Angel Devil is Division 4’s second-strongest agent but is known to be terribly lazy and wary of his past. He isn’t hostile towards humans, but still must be approached with caution – this guy isn’t the cherubic angel you might imagine in your prayers.

The Angel Devil’s greatest ability is to siphon off life spans of humans and then turn them into weapons with special properties that he can manifest from his halo at will.

Being an angel, he can fly using his angelic wings, that can also be used as bulletproof shields.

14. Eternity Devil

Current Form – Normal

First Appearance – Chapter 14

Scale of Destruction – 5

Thought-based Fear – 5

Event-based Fear – 7

Special Powers – 6

You know this devil is powerful when an entire arc named after it. The Eternity Devil is the primary antagonist of the Eternal Devil arc, and is the devil manifestation of the fear of the infinite.

The Eternity Devil’s trump card is manipulating space and time within his own belly. Essentially, his stomach becomes a pocket reality from which escape is impossible.

If this isn’t scary enough, he can also create an avatar of himself to hunt you down within his own stomach and tear you to pieces.  

13. Crossbow Devil

Current Form – Hybrid

First appearance – Chapter 54

Scale of Destruction – 5

Thought-based Fear – 5

Event-based Fear – 7

Special Powers – 6

Total – 23

The Crossbow Devil currently exists in a hybrid form as Quanxi, the First Devil Hunter.

I’d probably place her higher if it weren’t for the fact that it is Quanxi that makes the Crossbow Devil so powerful, and not the other way around.

Quanxi withdraws an arrow from her eye and then turns into the Crossbow Devil, with the ability to shoot infinite arrows at her unfortunate targets.

The ability works close as well as far-range. She has fought enemies like the Doll Devil, Gun Devil, and the Angel Devil.

12. Curse Devil

Current Form – Normal

First appearance – Chapter 24

Scale of Destruction – 5

Thought-based Fear – 6

Event-based Fear – 7

Special Powers – 6

Total – 24

The terrifying Curse Devil’s dark powers can be used to curse targets based on whatever contract it is bound against. We will see it picking up a target by their arms, stringing them in a cross position, and mortally biting necks while crushing their arms.

The full extent of the devil is not known, however it does use nails and rituals to kill humans, hybrids, and other devils.

11. Cosmos Devil

Current Form – Fiend

First appearance – Chapter 54

Scale of Destruction – 5

The Cosmos Devil has the power of omniscience. She has the knowledge of the universe inside her head but she can’t really utilize this knowledge in any way.

The most she can do is send her target’s mind into another dimension – a gigantic library to be precise, and then force them to understand everything in the universe, which can, understandably, drive anyone crazy.

10. Blood Devil

Current Form – Fiend

First appearance – Chapter 4

Scale of Destruction – 7

Thought-based Fear – 6

Event-based Fear – 7

Special Powers – 7

Total – 27

Power has gotta be on this list, no matter what anyone says. The Blood Devil’s current form is Power aka the Blood Fiend, who can manifest as a fiend as well as a devil.

She boasts that other devils flee from her very scent. This might not be true, but the fact that Power is actually quite useful cannot be denied.

Being a fiend, she can use all the usual devil abilities like fear empowerment, blood consumptions, and corpse possession.

She can freely control blood in her own body as well as in others. Blood manipulation is highly dangerous and effective, although Power still needs some practice at perfecting it.

In her pure devil form, she can create several swords made of blood, which are powerful enough to even halt the Control Devil for a few minutes.

As a fiend, Power can revitalize herself by drinking blood.

9. Ghost Devil

Current Form – Normal

First appearance – Chapter 25, Katana Man arc

Scale of Destruction – 5

Thought-based Fear – 8

Event-based Fear – 9

Special Powers – 6

Total – 28

Quite possibly one of the creepiest devils of CSM, the Ghost Devil is one devil I can’t wait to see animated.

It embodies the human phobia of ghosts so of course, it has all the properties that promise to haunt you, like sown eyes and lips, multiple limbs, and intangibility.

The Ghost Devil’s physical strength is enough to choke you effortlessly, while its perceptive abilities let it crawl after whoever fears it the most.

8. Bomb Devil

Current Form – Hybrid

First appearance – Chapter 40

Scale of Destruction – 6

Thought-based Fear – 8

The War Devil, Yoru, is the antagonist of the latest manga arc – the War Devil arc. She currently occupies Mitaka’s body and is a former member of the Four Horsemen like Makima.

The War Devil’s power was lowered when the Chainsaw Man partially devoured her as a devil. But she can still create weapons out of anything, the strength of which is determined by how guilt-ridden Mitaka is making it.

She can turn anything into a weapon, be it a spinal cord or a pencil.

The Chainsaw Devil is powerful but he doesn’t cut it to the top 5 in the manga. Yet.

He’s the devil other devils fear the most but there are other devils stronger than him, sustained by the fear of thousands.

In the anime, there’s no other devil more powerful than him but in the manga we know that the strongest devils in CSM are the Primal Devils.

The Chainsaw Devil can erase the existence of other devils by consuming their names. The devils he consumes are forgotten forever and never to be reincarnated again.

The Chainsaw Devil’s devil-form is a huge 4-armed humanoid with a chainsaw for a mouth. However, in his hybrid form, he exists as a cute lil canine we all know and love as Pochita.

The reason the Doll Devil is so dangerous is because of Santa Claus, the mysterious human with which it is contracted.

The Doll Devil can make dolls out of human beings, thus having total control over their thoughts and actions. This doll contagion can be spread is contagious, and if a doll touches you, you’re gonna be turned into Doll Devil’s puppet.

The dolls can also transform their limbs into blades. Worst part is, the dolls can never be turned back into humans again.

She is one of the four devils/ the Four Horsemen that can recollect the devils devoured by the Chainsaw Devil and the only one who can control any other devil, except for the Chainsaw and Darkness Devils.

She can basically do anything – by making anyone – human or devil – do anything. She can dominate the minds and bodies of those she sees as inferior, thus conquering them entirely.

The Gun Devil embodies the fear of guns. I don’t need to tell you how dangerous this guy is – living in the real world, we all know how dangerous and deadly guns are.

The President of the United States made a contract with Gun Devil, and with just 20% of devil power, he was able to go toe-to-toe with Makima. In this state, he killed 1.2 million people in a mere 5 minutes.

He was in his fiend-form within the body of Aki Hayakawa, the Public Safety Devil Hunter under Makima’s special squad, until Denji killed him.

Currently, he is still alive at 80%.

The Darkness Devil is the strongest devil in Chainsaw Man. Since it is a Primal/Primordial Devil, it embodies mankind’s innate fear of darkness and is as ancient as humanity itself. It’s a transcendent being who’s never experienced death, more powerful that even Chainsaw Man.

The Darkness Devil is the manifestation of the oldest, most inherent fear that lives in human psyche. This makes it a source of fear not just to humans but also to other devils, including the most powerful ones – the Chainsaw Devil and the Control Devil.

It can cause hemorrhages with a single stare, manipulate darkness and invisible forces, and move faster than light.
