History Characters / ChainsawManDevilHunters

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Like the Future Devil, the Stone Devil is demonstrably carried on Kusakabe's person. [[spoiler:This lets him keep using its powers when they're teleported to Hell, but also allows the Darkness Devil to yank the Stone Devil out and kill it. [[LiterallyShatteredLives And Kukasabe]].]]

* HeelFaceReincarnation: The devil agents are a [[ZigZaggingTrope rather complicated example]]. [[spoiler:In hell, they followed Chainsaw Man, but it's not clear if they shared his TokenHeroicOrc morality or simply worshiped his power. Their earthly reincarnations end up (sometimes involuntary) protectors of humanity, but were also brainwashed to help Makima conquer it.]] In short, their reincarnation lead to '''a''' change of alignment, [[HazyFeelTurn but good luck figuring out the morality thereof]].

* TakeAThirdOption: Knowing that [[spoiler:Makima]] has potentially millions of backup lives, making killing her a protracted and impractical process, Kishibe's coup is centered around using the [[spoiler:Hell Devil]] to get rid of her without conventional lethal force.

* TenMinuteRetirement: Has a pattern of swearing to quit Devil hunting, then returning to the agency for more money. She eventually quits for real after going to Hell.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Even the other women are much taller than Kobeni, and she's been partnered with Arai and Violence Fiend (fairly tall men, especially the latter). Later on, she ends up dragged into a "date" with [[spoiler:Pochita's "Hero of Hell" form]], a monstrous hulk whose chest is higher than Kobeni's head even hunched over.

* PutOnABus: She quits Public Safety after getting sent to Hell.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Being sent to Hell was the last straw for her, as it's said that she quit the agency after the ordeal.

* TheUnreveal: When asked to introduce herself at a work get-together, she avoids stating what Devil she's contracted to. The one time Kobeni ends up fighting on-screen before leaving Public Safety, [[FightsLikeANormal she just uses a knife]], so we never find out.

* AmbiguousSituation: Beam remembers serving the Chainsaw Devil [[spoiler:when both were in hell]]. It's not clear if that happened because Beam managed to [[spoiler:go from hell to earth in a single life like Pochita did]] or [[spoiler:died, reincarnated onto Earth (as it's implied the other Public Safety Devils agents did), and kept an unusually large amount of PastLifeMemories]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Vanishes from the story after [[spoiler:Makima uses his powers to inflict a rather severe blow on Chainsaw Man while [[TakeTheBullet aiming for Kobeni]] in Chapter 89. Though all the other Weapon Humans who were enslaved by Makima (and killed by Chainsaw Man immediately before the Angel makes his final appearance) reappear in the final battle in the graveyard, the Angel does not. It is later revealed by Fujimoto in a tweet that he was killed in the prior battle.]]

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Like the Future Devil, the Stone Devil is demonstrably carried on Kusakabe's person. [[spoiler:This lets him keep using its powers when they're teleported to hell, but also allows the Darkness Devil to yank the Stone Devil out and kill it. [[LiterallyShatteredLives And Kukasabe]].]]

A girl who Yoshida sets up to go on a blind date with Denji - who is soon revealed to be a member of public safety Yoshida tapped to be Denji's new bodyguard.

* BrutalHonesty: [[BluntYes Bluntly confirms]] Kobeni's fears late in Part 1 that [[spoiler:Makima won't allow her to live, she has to hide even from her family, and that they'll probably be fugitives for the rest of their lives]].

* HoldTheFloor: To buy time while his subordinates prepare an ambush, Takagi starts chewing out [[spoiler:Asa and Fami's group]] for what the Chainsaw Man Church has done. It starts out passionate, and probably sincere, but ends up petering out when things take to long, giving his ruse away.

* AmbiguousGender: Setting aside potential complexities of a devil possessing a human corpse, he's quite androgynous thanks to a combination of Public Safety's conservative suits, long hair, obscured facial features, and using the gender-neutral Japanese pronoun ''watashi''. He does have a prominent adam's apple however -- a trait Fujimoto gives to the vast majority of his male characters -- so it's likely the Nail Fiend, or at least the body it possesses, is male. Katana Man also refers to Nail as "[[DudeLooksLikeALady Girly-Boy Devil]]", with the original Japanese version having him be referred to with a far more derogatory term that's used against gay men or male transvestites.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He's disgusted at the Chainsaw Man Church arming {{Child Soldier}}s for taking them out of class, but not for endangering them. He'll gladly kill the same teenagers themselves for acting improper.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: He has a androgynous appearance due to his slim figure and long hair, and speaks with the gender-neutral Japanese pronoun ''watashi." However, he is explicitly described as a "girly-boy" by his partner, Katana Man.

* StealthHiBye: He's introduced into the story suddenly appearing out of nowhere, with zero warning to his arrival. He's barely shown moving at all, but has already vanished when [[spoiler:Samurai Sword]] turns around to take a swing at him.

[[folder:The Backdoor Agent '''(Part 2 spoilers)''']]
See Samurai Sword's entry [[Characters/ChainsawManOtherCharacters here]].

* OffscreenTeleportation: He's introduced into the story suddenly appearing out of nowhere, with zero warning to his arrival. He's barely shown moving at all, but has already vanished when [[spoiler:Samurai Sword]] turns around to take a swing at him.

* AmbiguousGender: Setting aside potential complexities of a devil possessing a human corpse, they're quite androgynous thanks to a combination of Public Safety's conservative suits, long hair, obscured facial features, and using the gender-neutral Japanese pronoun ''watashi''. They do have a prominent adam's apple however - a trait Fujimoto gives to the vast majority of his male characters - so it's likely the Nail Fiend, or at least the body it possesses, is male. Katana Man also refers to Nail as "[[DudeLooksLikeALady Girly-Boy Devil]]", with the original Japanese version having him be referred to with a far more derogatory term that's used against gay men or male transvestites.

* BrainMonster: At least half of his brain is exposed from the eyes up; possibly more depending on what's covered by their hair. It also has nails stuck in it.

* FasterThanTheyLook: He's barely shown moving at all, but has already vanished when [[spoiler:Samurai Sword]] turns around to take a swing at him.

* AmbiguouslyBi: She flirts with Kobeni almost as much as Denji and is explicitly mentioned to have kissed everyone at the post-Eternity Devil party other than the rookies, which includes at least one other woman, but whether she's actually into girls when she's sober is never clarified.

->''You were right. I never should have joined the Special Divison.''

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: whilst Public Safety was comprised of well-meaning hunters that were manipulated by Makima into fulfilling her plans of complete control in Part 1, most of the members shown in Part 2 are psychopathic and far more morally questionable to the point that nobody is shown objecting to dismembering Denji just because he was forced into transforming back into Chainsaw Man.]]

* MoralMyopia: Says he's never done anything wrong in his life, even though he's willing to have defenseless teenagers killed and admits to cheating on his wife.

* AmbiguousGender: Setting aside potential complexities of a devil possessing a human corpse, they're quite androgynous thanks to a combination of Public Safety's conservative suits, long hair, obscured facial features, and using the gender-neutral Japanese pronoun ''watashi''. They do have a prominent adam's apple however - a trait Fujimoto gives to a vast majority of his male characters - so it's likely the Nail Fiend, or at least the body it possesses, is male.

Two Public Safety officials that work under Makima, though are too scared of joining the Special Divison themselves.

* AmbiguousGender: Setting aside potential complexities of a devil possessing a human corpse, they're quite androgynous thanks to a combination of Public Safety's conservative suits, long hair, obscured facial features, and using the gender-neutral Japanese pronoun ''watashi''. They do appear to have a visible Adam's apple, but this isn't a sure indicator of physical sex as women do have Adam's apples as well, they just ''tend'' to be more prominent in men. Katana Man also refers to Nail as "[[DudeLooksLikeALady Girly-Boy Devil]]", though whether he actually knows Nail's gender or is just voicing his own guess is unclear.

* RedOneBlueOni: The cheery and batshit insane red oni to Katana Man's self-serious and brooding blue oni.

* AmbiguousGender: Setting aside potential complexities of a devil possessing a human corpse, they're quite androgynous thanks to a combination of Public Safety's conservative suits, long hair, obscured facial features, and using the gender-neutral Japanese pronoun ''watashi''. However, they do appear to have an Adam's apple.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They're disgusted at the Chainsaw Man Church arming {{Child Soldier}}s for taking them out of class, but not for endangering them. They'll gladly kill the same teenagers themselves for acting improper.
* BrainMonster: At least half their brain is exposed from the eyes up; possibly more depending on what's covered by their hair. It also has nails stuck in it.
* DualWielding: They wield a pair of claw hammers, both to drive nails and attack directly.
* NailEm: They throw nails to [[KnifeOutline pin people down]].
* WouldHurtAChild: They WouldntHurtAChild for attacking people with guns, but will ''kill'' one for speaking improperly.

* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: Starts taking on this status in Part 2. [[spoiler:In the absence of Makima hiding anything, they seem for some reason to know almost ''everything.'' They puzzle out where the Justice Devil is, and somehow already know that Asa has become the War Devil, which is information that only two people--Fami and Nayuta, both enemies who wouldn't cooperate--could possibly have access to.]]

The devil hunting club for Asa's school, led by Haruka Iseumi, which is also the student council.\\\

[[folder:Other Members]]
A trio of club members who show up to fight a rampaging [[spoiler: Yuko]]. They include a crossbow user named Furio, a brawler named Seigi Akoku, and an unamed female student with a katana.
----
* {{Expy}}: Akoku has the same design as Agni, the protagonist of Fujimoto's previous work ''Manga/FirePunch''. The kanji that make up his name can even be alternatively read as "Agni".
* EyeScream: Seigi gets his right eye slashed out by [[spoiler:Yuko]], wearing an eyepatch the next time he appears.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Seigi only uses his fists when fighting devils.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Furio gets skewered by one of [[spoiler: Yuko's]] tentacles.
* PowerFist: Seigi uses spiked knuckles to compliment his punches.
* RedshirtArmy: The trio that show up to fight [[spoiler:Yuko]] have distinct designs and names, and managed to inflict considerable damage, but mostly serve to add to their bodycount.
* TheStraightAndArrowPath: Furio uses a crossbow, which is presumably the most available range weapon when guns have become very strictly controlled.
* UncertainDoom: After the Justice Devil attacks, Seigi survives and resumes attendance in the club, while Haruka states one of the trio died and the third quit, not specifying which of latter two is Furio and which was the girl. Confusingly, it was stated '''four''' students total died in a devil attack, including two students outside the club, which is either a mistake or there was an additional fatality we never saw.
