4 weird ideas for new devils in Chainsaw Man (beware of the Manga Spoilers Devil)
1. I wonder if devils can be recursive. For instance, when people become scared of control, the Control Devil is born. So, if people fear the Control Devil, should the Control Devil Devil be born? And I assume this recursion will not have an exit… Honestly, I have always been scared of recursions, so I believe the Recursion Devil should exist, too. To defeat the Recursion Devil, one needs to defeat the Recursion Devil inside the Recursion Devil, and to defeat the Recursion Devil inside the Recursion Devil, one needs to defeat the Recursion Devil inside the Recursion Devil inside the Recursion Devil…
2. Have you ever been scared of the concept of non-existence? It’s really hard to imagine that nothing exists at all, even the void… So I assume that the Non-existence Devil should exist… Oh wait, it doesn’t.Â
3. One may fear perfection, as it can easily be destroyed. So, if the Perfection Devil existed, one could destroy it by simply ruining its perfection. However, this would kinda mean that this devil would be really weak and would constantly be reborn only to die again. I don’t know if many people fear perfection, but if they do, this devil is supposed to be strong. But it can’t be strong, since it’s very easy to destroy. Potentially it may paralyse some people with fear of ruining perfection, but the fear of destroying perfection can, ironically, make people want to destroy this perfection, so I’m not sure if it’s gonna help this Devil. So, if many people fear perfection, this Devil can be powerful and weak at the same time, which gives us a contradiction.Â
4. Contradictions can also be quite distressing, so there should be a contradiction demon, which is destroyed if and only if it is not destroyed, but when it is destroyed, it is not destroyed.
