Why Is He After Denji’s Heart In ‘Chainsaw Man’?
Pochita formed their contract, all Devils dread the Chainsaw Devil, who acts as Denji’s heart. This is because the Chainsaw Devil has the power to consume Devils, erasing them entirely from human consciousness and causing them to vanish from the universe. As a result, they are unable to reincarnate in Hell and can only be brought back by being removed from the Chainsaw Devil’s stomach.
The Gun Devil is determined to eat Denji’s heart as quickly as possible in order to do this. This will kill the Chainsaw Devil’s host and prevent it from being consumed. It will also force the Chainsaw Devil to reincarnate and take a break until it regains its full power. In order to get power in return for capturing Denji and giving his heart to the Gun Devil, it made a deal with the human Devil Hunter Akane.
There’s another reason that is a little trickier, it links into one of the biggest revelations of the series: Makima is the Control Devil and both of the devils dread her. This is so that Makima may take control of the Chainsaw Devil and control any other devils she wants, cementing her position at the top of the devil food chain.
Hence, to prevent that the Gun devil is after Denji’s heart to kill two birds with one stone.
