Is she really the Death Devil? Sucking people’s life force certainly indicates so!
Tatsuki Fujimoto introduced a new character in his manga a few chapters ago, and things have been weird(er) ever since. This massive crybaby is similar to Kobeni, another whiny character we know and love. But her out of place God complex made everyone realise that she’s a devil, and an extremely powerful one. The latest chapter with the knockoff Chainsaw Man proved it.
Spoiler Alert: This article contains major spoilers from the manga.
Chainsaw Man Chapter 197 recap

The weird and deformed Chainsaw Man proclaims that he will save the young boy from the crybaby girl. Before anyone can do anything, he jumps up and attacks her. Although she tries to fight back, the knockoff Chainsaw Devil hacks her body into pieces. He wonders if she’s really the right girl since killing her was so easy. The other boy starts to berate him for killing a girl who was just annoying and cringey. But the devil says that she is the evil incarnate who is partly responsible for all the destruction. He says he doesn’t make mistakes because the Justice Devil’s inside him and he’s Chainsaw Man.
Suddenly, the boy feels a tug on his pants and looks down to see the dismembered hand of the crybaby girl holding onto his leg. The off-brand Chainsaw Devil tries to warn him, but within seconds, all the life force is sucked out of his body. The boy falls to the ground with his entire body aged and shriveled up while the whiny girl restores all her limbs and stands up. After judging his stance and fighting style, the devil girl deduces that she can take down Chainsaw Man in three seconds. They start fighting again, and within roughly three seconds, fake Chainsaw Man cuts her into pieces once more. Her severed head starts crying and asking for help while the other devil wonders how she’s so weak.

The Justice Devil you say? Although she’s supposed to be dead, I won’t be surprised if she somehow came back and is controlling this off-brand Chainsaw Man. The city seemed to be filled with people turning into Chainsaw Devil from how much they fear him, but this guy somehow feels different with his absolute conviction of being Chainsaw Man. On the other hand, there is the whiny girl. I am convinced that she’s indeed the Death Devil, with how she absolutely sucked that boy dry within seconds. But seriously, why is she so weak? The manga usually doesn’t shy away from introducing badass and brutal women. Knowing Fujimoto, he has some other cards up his sleeve that will completely blindside the readers, and I can’t wait to be smacked in the face with another shocking revelation!
