Can the devil take care of other people? Chainsaw Man? Demons are often seen as causing fear and causing brutal and horrific deaths whenever they can drink human blood. However, some demons, such as Pochita and Power, have the ability to care for humans and pets.

Demons often act according to their own will. Unless a stronger demon interferes, they act as they please. But this also raises the question of whether they care about others beyond fear and human bloodshed.

Can the devil take care of other people?

Demons thrive on fear. But do they have the ability to care for their fears?

In Chainsaw Man, demons are evil monsters born from the concept of human fear. Early in the series, we see Denji fighting various demons as a private sector demon hunter or as part of the Public Safety Demon Hunter Committee. This suggests that humans hate demons. But can demons care about other people, humans and demons?

There are some instances where demons can care for others to some degree. However, this ability also requires a certain level of intelligence. In Chapter 5, Makima mentions that Power has a higher level of intelligence and reasoning than other demons. Demons with lower intelligence levels are more likely to be motivated by basic instincts.

The first demon to be able to care for others is Pochita, a chainsaw demon. Pochita communicates only by barking and whining like a dog, but when fused with Denji, he is shown to have intelligent thoughts and consideration. This is alluded to in episode 12, when Pochita tries to prevent Denji from opening a door or remembering his traumatic past. In addition to various instances throughout the series, Pochita and Denji are seen embracing each other.

The next demon or devil we know is Power. In Chapter 4, Power is very stern and sees humans as inferior beings by nature. However, in Chapter Meowy's Whereabouts, Power's caring nature is revealed. Throughout Season 1 of the anime, Power still only cares about herself and her cat Meowy. Power didn't care much about humans, but after living with Aki Hayakawa and Denji, Power soon formed a bond with the two.

Denji… he is my first friend.

After the International Assassins and Gun Devil arcs, Power and Denji have become so close that Power allows Denji to drink her blood, and even more so in episode 90, Power calls Denji a friend. Power cares so much for Denji that he gives his own blood to revive Denji if the Blood Devil is found and returned to Power.

Also, Makima, the Control Devil, has taken care of, named, and treated several dogs well. This largely reflects her personality as a Control Devil. Dogs are known to follow directions and obey when properly trained. As a Control Devil, Makima enjoys controlling others to the point where she sees them as dogs.

Can a demon take care of another demon?

Demons usually act alone, so would it bother you if there were other demons around?

We have seen that demons can take care of other people, both humans and pets. This raises the question of whether demons can take care of other demons. In Chapter 9, it is revealed that demons can also have relationships. After Denji defeats the bat demon that kidnapped Meowy, a leech demon appears. The leech demon immediately attacks Denji for killing her “cute bat” and declares himself to be her man.

This shows that demons can care for and form relationships with other demons. The angel demon revealed that he had a relationship with a human before being captured and controlled by Makima. However, demons can care for others. They are more likely to put their own interests before others.

In the Falling Devil arc, we learn more about Famine Devil's true plan regarding Nostradamus's Prophecy. Here we learn that the Age of Man will end and the Age of Demons will begin. Nayuta, the new Control Devil, initially likes the idea of ​​an Age of Demons, as it sounds fun, and shows that she enjoys the chaos that will result.

But after the famine demon made it clear that pizza and Chinese food would no longer exist, her selfish nature and interests took precedence over stopping the prophecy. Demons can take care of each other, but it probably has to do with their interests. This can also be seen in chapter 177, when the war demon made his children, tank and gun demons, into weapons, but when asked about it, the war demon hesitated, perhaps because he was somewhat sad.

Why do demons harm humans?

Fear alone is not enough for the devil to live.

It is clear that demons can take care of others, including humans, pets, or other demons. But why would a demon want to harm a human? As mentioned earlier, demons are born from the concept of fear in humans. In order for a demon to gain more power, it must instill more fear in humans. The more humans fear a demon, the more powerful the demon will become.

However, there is another way they can gain power. Demons can drink the blood of humans or other more powerful demons to gain more power. This can be seen when Denji drinks the blood of an Eternal Demon to replenish himself, and when Pochita allows Power to drink his blood.

Demons can take care of others, but this can also weaken them. Demons need fear and human blood to survive and gain power. While demons are inherently evil and seek to satisfy their own desires, intelligent demons seek more than just basic desires.
