Top 10 Strongest Characters in Chainsaw Man Anime Ranked!

Packed with gore, blood, and action, Chainsaw Man anime has done an excellent job so far in showcasing the beastly power devils possess. However, the devils aren’t the only strong characters in the series. 

Certain humans who have contracted devils such as Kishibe, Denji, and others have displayed their raw strength and immense potential, surpassing the power of some actual devils even though they are part-humans

The Chainsaw Man anime is expected to cover all the arcs until the Bomb Girl arc. This includes Intro arc, the Bat Devil arc, the Eternity Devil arc, the Katana Man arc and lastly, the Bomb Girl arc.

Though each character has their own set of unique abilities, some characters are more powerful than others. In this article, I will cover the 10 strongest characters that might make an appearance in the Chainsaw Man anime, right up to the Bomb Girl arc.

10. Himeno

Since devils are born through the fears humans have, the appearance of a Ghost Devil in the anime is certainly not surprising. Himeno commands the right arm of the Ghost in exchange of sacrificing her right eye.

The Ghost Devil’s right arm can rip out the flesh of even the toughest devils, such as the Eternity Devil, with ease.

However, if you throw Himeno in a solo fight, she won’t be able to hold out on her own, since she’s lagging behind a little in the hand-to-hand combat department.

9. Beam

The pointy teeth, the gaping jaws and their aggressive nature might make sharks quite intimidating, but Beam is anything but aggressive. The Shark fiend is quite eccentric in nature and his real charm lies in being tanky and durable, than being offensive.

His durable body can handle even the infamous Bomb Girl’s explosions. He can swim through intangible objects, so you can store anything in his body and transport it to some other place.

8. Angel Devil

Angel Devil looks exactly like his name suggests- he is downright gorgeous and you might think that he has never even hurt a fly. But beware! By just touching him, Angel Devil can drive you to a painless death by siphoning your entire lifespan before you can even blink.

The lifespan he has siphoned from his targets can be used to form weapons. The strength of these weapons depends upon the amount of lifespan he has siphoned.

However, he truly lives up to his ‘angelic aura’ by refusing to use his powers. This is because he feels no hostility towards humans and is averse to combat in general, preferring to help out behind the scenes. 

7. Reze/Bomb Girl

We have all seen how badly Denji wants a girlfriend right from the first episode of the anime. Cue Reze, a sweet girl who debuts during the Bomb Girl arc and seems to have a huge crush on Denji.

But this docile behaviour of hers is just a façade, since Reze is actually a Bomb Devil hybrid from Soviet Union who can blow her opponents to bits with her mini-bombs. The explosions caused from these bombs can shatter entire buildings and roads.

But as all major antagonists have a weakness; Reze’s powers also have a major Achilles Heel: She can’t use her bombs if she is doused with water.

6. Katana Man

Devil hybrids are stronger than devil fiends and the Katana Man is no exception. Katana Man’s abilities are somewhat similar to Chainsaw Man, allowing him to pop out swords from his head and his arms and use them to slash at enemies.

His incredible speed can rival even that of Aki’s and Denji’s speed.

But unlike other hybrids, his hybrid form has a cooldown period. This weakness of his especially puts him in a spot, since he can’t exactly transform into his hybrid form if the situation calls for it.

5. Power

Power is Blood fiend and one of the Denji’s closest besties in the anime. She has the ability to manipulate blood to heal her own body if she gets injured as well as hinder the regenerative abilities of other people.

She can even create weapons out of blood. Her strongest weapon, the Thousand Tera Blood Rain,unleashes thousands of bloody swords and spears which can give even Makima a tough time.

Her powers are terrifying and intimidating enough to make even other devils shake in their boots.

4. Kishibe

Every average shounen anime protagonist needs a mentor and Denji is no exception, having Kishibe, a seasoned devil hunter, as his mentor. Kishibe has contracts with the Claw Devil, the Knife Devil and the Needle Devil, whose powers are yet to be revealed.

However, the real testament of Kishibe’s strength isn’t his devil powers but his ability to survive for so long as a mere human in a profession which requires you to have regular contact with monsters.

Kishibe could also incapacitate Denji with his bare hands even though the latter is a powerful devil hybrid. As expected from the strongest devil hunter of Tokyo Special Division 4!

3. Aki Hayakawa

Moving on to the top three, we have Aki Hayakawa, a devil hunter who serves the role of Denji’s elder brother figure. Aki has contracts with a whooping number of three devils, namely, the Future Devil, the Fox Devil and the Curse Devil.

Forming contracts with so many devils makes him quite versatile, enabling him to summon devils with a single word, torture his opponents by placing curses on them and even seeing a few seconds into the future!

But every devil power has a heavy price, and Aki pays the price every time he uses his abilities. The Curse Devil shortens his lifespan; the Future Devil makes him sacrifice his right eye and so on, though that hardly deters him.

2. Denji/Chainsaw Man

Denji might seem like an average devil hybrid with average dreams of living a normal life, but he’s anything but average. Denji is contracted to the very devil that haunts the nightmares of our own nightmares aka the devils: the Chainsaw Devil.

In his hybrid form, he can pop out chainsaws from his arms and head to slash his opponents to tiny pieces.

But Denji’s real trump card is his third hidden form, also known as the Devil Form, which allows Pochita to get total control of his body and erase the existence of a devil forever from the face of the earth.

I am sure that he can climb the ranks of being the strongest character in the series once he kicks asses of a few more devils and gets more experience.

1. Makima/Control Devil

Makima, the Control Devil, is the strongest character in the Chainsaw Man anime. She can control any creature she believes to be inferior to her and can even coerce them to form a contract. Her offense is weaker than the Chainsaw and Darkness devils but she can outsmart them.

Her powers might not be quite offensive, but her manipulation techniques have made her immortal. Her contract with the Prime Minister of Japan has allowed her to transfer her death to a random citizen of Japan and revive herself.

Besides her brainwashing ability, she can also use invisible force around her to crush her opponent to their imminent death before they can even realise they are targeted.

Along with her devil abilities, Makima has immense self-confidence as well. As long as she believes she is superior to a living being or a creature, she can easily turn whoever she wants into dead meat.

Makima’s raw strength give out a clear message to those who dare to defy her: Don’t dare to get on my bad side.
