In the latest installment of the Chainsaw Man manga, Chapter 195 titled “Kill Me Tears,” readers are introduced to a new character who may be the embodiment of the Death Devil. This development sheds light on the mysterious Four Horsemen and offers insights into their human-like appearances.​

The Four Horsemen in Chainsaw Man

The Four Horsemen in Chainsaw Man are powerful devils representing Control, War, Famine, and Death. They possess unique abilities and play significant roles in the series’ narrative. Makima, who was later revealed as the Control Devil, was the first Horseman introduced. She appeared as a young woman with distinctive spiral eyes. Similarly, the War Devil, known as Yoru, and the Famine Devil, referred to as Fami, also take on the form of young women. ​

Introduction of the Death Devil

Chapter 195 introduces a new character with spiral eyes, indicating she is one of the Four Horsemen. Her resemblance to a side character from Chapter 194, who was a friend of Fami, suggests a deeper connection. This similarity has led fans to speculate that the Death Devil may have taken over the body of Fami’s friend, mirroring how the War Devil inhabited Asa’s body. ​

Implications of Human Hosts

The consistent portrayal of the Horsemen as young women raises questions about their manifestation. One theory is that these devils take over human bodies to blend into society. This is supported by Yoru’s transformation after possessing Asa, where she adopts a more human-like demeanor over time. If the Death Devil has indeed taken over Fami’s friend, it suggests that all Horsemen might acquire human forms by inhabiting the bodies of young women. ​

Kishibe’s Observation

Kishibe, a seasoned devil hunter, once noted that devils with human-like appearances tend to be more friendly toward humans, but they remain devils at their core. This observation aligns with the Horsemen’s behavior, as they exhibit human traits yet maintain their devilish nature. If the Horsemen do possess human bodies, it could explain their ability to interact closely with humans while pursuing their own agendas. ​

Yoru’s Unique Situation

Unlike her sisters, Yoru initially appeared in a non-human form resembling a bird before taking over Asa’s body. Her initial hostility towards humans gradually diminished as she spent more time in her human host. This progression suggests that inhabiting human bodies might influence the Horsemen’s attitudes, making them more tolerant or manipulative toward humans. ​

The Role of Fami

Fami, the Famine Devil, has shown a willingness to assist her fellow Horsemen. Her involvement in the recent chapters indicates a deeper connection among the Horsemen. If Fami’s friend has become the Death Devil, it raises questions about Fami’s role in facilitating this transformation and her broader intentions. ​

Conclusion

The introduction of the Death Devil in Chapter 195 offers significant insights into the nature of the Four Horsemen. The possibility that they inhabit human bodies to interact with the world adds a new layer of complexity to their characters. As the story progresses, understanding the Horsemen’s methods and motivations will be crucial in unraveling the mysteries of the Chainsaw Man universe.​
