Tatsuki Fujimoto has smashed everyone’s expectations by presenting a villain unusually stronger than Makima, the Control Devil, in the second part ofChainsaw Man. The new foe has appeared in heated debates among fans about his power levels and character abilities. The introduction has brought to light a significant shift in the power dynamics of theChainsaw Manuniverse.

Yoru’s ability transformed the Statue of Liberty into a monstrous weapon in Chapter 178

Yoru, the War Devil, displayed raw power and destructive capabilities that somehow overshadowed that of Makima. It has truly changed the long-held beliefs among the fanbase, mostly to those who have considered Makima to be the epitome of strength within the series.

Makima is Under a New Threat to Yoru’s Devastating Power

Recent Chapter 178 has shown the immense destructive capabilities of Yoru with feats that surpass even those ofMakima. Her ability to launch attacks spanning thousands of kilometers depicts a level of power unseen in the previous series. She was introduced during the Academy Saga as a member of the Four Horsemen, embodying the fear of war.

In it, she was seen executing her ability within Japan but it was activated from America, turning the Statue of Liberty into a monstrous shooting weapon that shot toPochita. Displaying long-range destructive power left fans astounded as it appeared to outclass other impressive abilities. The sheer scale and speed of her attack possess combat prowess far beyond part one’s antagonist.

Considering she’s the literal personification of war and battles why wouldn’t she be more powerful than makima in combat I feel like that’s a logical conclusion to make makima’s power is about manipulation not inflicting physical damage.

Makima never tried to kill CSM, she tries to weaken him to gain his power, they are 2 totally different things/ and well, destructive capacity is not equivalent to power, but it is normal for Yoru to be like this, the concept of war is more feared than that of the control

I don’t know why people always love arguing about Makimas fighting ability, she’s not even a fighter type she’s a manipulative type, she just uses contracts to keep up, WAR should be one of the strongest pure power and fighting ability devils

Devastation created by the shot surpasses Makima

To be fair in a fight she’d totally win 100%Makima would simply just make sure she never gets in a fight with herMost likely a jumping if it came down to it

Moreover, she currently possesses 27% of the Gun Devil’s power and tops making anything into its weapon, surpassing the 20% fragment that posed a great threat in the first part of the series. The increase in her percentage, combined with her innate abilities as the War Devil, creates a combination that seems to eclipse Makima’s arsenal.

The comparison between them has become a very hot topic, with fans arguing that Yoru’s speed and perception-blitzing abilities give her a distinct advantage in direct combat. Some readers pointed out that while her counterpart excelled in manipulation and control, Yoru appears to be specifically designed for raw combat power.

Makima’s fans are particularly grappling with the reality that their favorite villain may not be at the top of the power ladder because of Yoru as a powerhouse.Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s penchant for subverting expectations has raised the stakes in his storytelling.

Fujimoto’sMakima doesn’t only have raw power, but also has cunning manipulation and strategic use of contracts. Her ability to control others and transfer damage randomly to anyone made her a formidable opponent. But Yoru’s introduction suggests that pure destructive capacity and combat speed may trump these advantages in certain scenarios.

Plainly, Fujimoto showed his skill in creating such a bizarrely powerful character in the ever-evolving power system ofChainsaw Man. By introducing characters like Yoru he can challenge or even surpass previous benchmarks and can prevent the story from becoming too predictable. With it, Chainsaw Man entered a new narrative line.
