With its recent release ‘Chainsaw Man’ has become one of the most popular shows of 2022. Peculiar heroes and villains have caught the attention of the animeverse. Among several devils, there’s particularly one character who is pure evil and whose strength knows no bound.
In their animeverse, it’s the devil hunter’s responsibility to take down devils causing an uproar in the lives of ordinary people. But the character we are going to describe today is far from ordinary. Judging by his looks and capability, one can easily tell that the devils shown in the anime till now are somewhat cute. The central antagonist of the series goes by the name of Gun Devil.

Who Is Gun Devil?
Gun Devil is the most horrendous and powerful villain to get rid of in their animeverse. He is on a whole other level from ordinary devil targets and possesses the power to obliterate more than 1 million people in five minutes. Though he is yet to make his debut in the series, fans are curious about the main antagonist to see how powerful they are.
Just as the name suggests, Gun Devil embodies the fear of weapons. His body is made with guns and if anyone eats any part of his body (even if it’s small) that devil will then become the best of themselves in turn of strength. Although he hides in the shadow of the secondary antagonist of the Public Safety Arc, he quickly snatches the spotlight of the Gun Devil Arc.
Aki is easily my favorite and his conclusion was the best part of the csm manga imo so seeing these scenes when he’s in the snow playing with his bro before the gun devil appears hurts 😭 they adapted it beautifully and I can’t wait to see how they’ll adapt ch79 #chainsawman pic.twitter.com/oIPdNJhgBn

Aki’s family was killed in an attack by Gun Devil, so he wanted to take revenge on him. Unfortunately, he himself became the host of his mortal enemy. After turning in a new body he derives the name Gun Fiend. Things are starting to get even more exciting. It’ll be a good idea to follow the anime to be up-to-date before.
