Imagine surviving the Gun Devil because of a fucking pun

Imagine how OP a Post Nut Clarity Devil would be

I'm less affraid of the Gun Devil than whoever the hell "took him down"...

The gun devil's attack scene has to be one of the greatest displays of force I've ever seen in a manga

Friendly reminder, the 7 seconds of the gun devil we got was only 20% of its max, amped to an obscene degree by a pact sacrifice of over 300,000,000 years of life.

honestly, the most unbelievable part of this is America successfully passing strict gun laws

the "12 seconds" scene will be seared into my brain as one of the coolest yet most utterfly horrifying things i ever witnessed in a manga 12 seconds, and several times that in body count i hope the anime does it justice

My jaw dropped when they showed the names of dead victims. It was awesome and scary. All the names made the damage feel more real. Great decision by the artist.

The start really explains why Tomato devil is stronger then Chicken devil

I don't think the Gun Devil just "moved around really fast" as you suggest. Interestingly, it didn't hit any European of South American countries, nor any countries deeper into the mainland. Additionally, we can see it appeared above a body of water. Combining those two factors, I think it's safe to say the Gun Devil appeared somewhere above the Northern half of the Pacific Ocean, and simply spun around wildly

For as destructive and far reaching as he was, he's still not the strongest Devil. There's more that are older and more primordial. He's probably the one who's been the most impactful directly and personally inspired the most fear themselves though.

The autor knows very well that over exposure kills tension.

The gun devil's fantastic because its SUCH a massive bait and switch. the story set shim up as THE ultimat big bad, with people claiming they're working udner his orders upon making a deal with him, and other devils empowering themselves with his pieces, and his defeat seemingly being the main goal of Makima, Aki and by extension the rest of the Public Security gang. But then the bombshell drops: the people claiming they were ordered by the gun devil? They were LYING, they were jsut doing what THEY wanted to do and used him as an excuse (subtly referenced in Makima's dealings with a Yakuza). The other devils were jsut using his power as they wished, driven by a personal dsire to kill chainsaw man. The gun Devil isn't even AWAKE. Hes split into peices and kept in storage by several world powers and only acts when released by someone else. He is NOT an active force, he's barely even an actualy CHARACTER. And yet dspite not being the REAL villain, the actual big bad uses his presence to further her own goals, AND the gun devil hmself is still a massive destructive threat in and of his own.

I can’t imagine how much time and effort it must take to draw the Gun Devil

the fact that they introduced 100+ NAMED characters during the death list truely adds to how strong this guy is

The Devil of the Unknown would be the strongest devil in existence

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if a love devil is the most powerful being in existence. Tatsuki Fujimoto is mad genius

Imagine an alternate universe where Aki became a Gun Hybrid and fought alongside Denji as hybrids.

The Gun Devil was honestly one of my favorite parts about CSM Part 1. Seeing how powerful the Gun Devil was at the end of the series (Part 1 that is) makes you wonder how overwhelmingly strong it must have been while it was still whole... Even more scary is that something or someone actually managed to defeat the full Gun Devil back then.

The gun devil being defeated for years is one of my favorite plot twists in manga

My favorite part about the Gun Devil and the whole arc in general is the overbearingly news service-y methodology of it's actions, that they'll be covered in depth on every outlet willing to do so, bolstering fear worldwide. A great lens to view fear mongering news outlets from, indeed.

i like how the authors set it up, in part one we have makima who represents the first horseman of apocalypse, conquest, and now in part 2 we have the war devil. Which means we gonna get at least 2 more parts with a famine devil and a death devil in that order

Every car might bring fear....but Kobeni's vehicle brings hope

I am terrified of how powerful the *Spider Devil* is

What makes this so brilliant is that the writer actually took an object that was feared and turned it into a more fearful monster

Imagine a devil for Power(the concept, no the character). Power, as a concept, is looked up upon, strove for, and even obsessed by, but it is also heavily feared, to the point of instinctual fear. Even people who do not fear death fear people who are of power or have immense power. Entire nations are afraid of the power of devils, especially primordial ones. The main group fears the primordial Darkness Devil, mainly because of it's might and strength, it's POWER. Hope they go more deeper in what kind of concepts and fears can become devils in the future.

Wasnt expecting Zach to be mentioned. Was thinking about him and his gun rants while looking at the video and Meti mentioning him really sprung smile to my face

Im still curious how powerful the opposite of the control devil would be a so called chaos or freedom devil

i always figured the gun devil was slow and just shot homing bullets to different places on earth all at once and the time difference is based on travel distance of the bullets

Wait until the manga reveals the "Tax Devil". Already sends shivers down to my spine by just thinking about it. Eugh...

Koyoharu Gotouge (mangaka of Demon Slayer) was also on the Devil Gun's death list

What i really like about the Gun Devil is that they actually say "hits" as in like a hurricane or a violent storm, meaning they put him right there with natural disasters.

The author dislikes that people over analyse his work, but it's just so much fun!!!

Our man Meti moving up in the world over here getting sponsored. Proud of you dude. Keep up the good work 👏 👍

The most chilling part about the death toll breakdown is they sound pretty close to yearly gun related deaths in those countries. Edit: Likely closer to those killed in the line of duty and deaths due to military action of those countries whether it be against their civilians or foreign powers I wasn’t clear with my original comment, so rather than a symbolic condemnation of civilian owned firearms the Gun Devil more so represents the fear and use of firearms overall even by the government, so in a way in the Chainsaw man universe the Governments of chainsaw man were keeping pieces of the Gun devil not as some doomsday weapon but they were trying to change the nature of the devil itself by changing the primary object of its fear, rather than a chaotic force wieldable by anyone where anyone could be the victim they change it into a force only wielded by those within positions of power through strict gun laws. You’ve seen the Darkness devil and it’s representation of the astronauts but I ask besides from an aesthetic and thematic standpoint what is the in universe explanation for a primal devil having astronauts in its representation, rather than some ancient fear of the dark or unknown like a prowling wolf or nondescript predator lurking in wait. I propose that the changing of these fears and the expansion of them within the majority of humans changes the devil itself and it’s nature a fact which the world powers in Chainsaw Man are well aware of.

something about the names of the victims being in the panels makes it so chilling

Its just fun to see zack being referenced. May his gunknowledge be blessed upon Mike.

Makes you wonder what the War Devil would be like.

This is why I really love your content it's super detailed awesome

Just imagine how bad the Clown Devil is.

Looking forward to see how this thing looks like in the anime. Good job on the video and I'm looking forward to more Chainsaw Man content since part 2 just started.

I think this may be the first Meti video where I have been 100% caught up to the manga of the topic he is discussing.

Just imagine how much more powerful the primal fear devils is.

Nice!

I never realized this wasn't the full gun devil 💀.

I love how the implication of the Gun Devil always means that at some point it formed in Hell and had to be killed when it was feared so greatly by something even more powerful. LOVE the concepts in this series.

So saw this video when it came out (subbed btw), and it peaked my curiosity for Chainsaw Man. Diving down the CM rabbit hole, I absolutely fell in love with the story and find this to be one of the best written manga I've read (my favorite story is Berserk, so I'd like to think I know quality writing when I see it, but to each their own), but just wanted to give a thanks for introducing me to this incredibly entertaining story, really pumped they rolled out the anime and can't wait to see where they take part 2

Honestly I wasn't into chainsaw man till my friend who introduced me showed me this monster. Like it's legit horrifying that almost 1.2 million were killed just because this thing came out the wood works. Also I gotta give credit to Fujimoto saying that all this carnage happened in just five minutes. To be a little on the nose, all those deaths happened with a pull of a trigger. Also when he wanted the gun devil to make an impact, giving it to basically say "Everyone that was born in this month during the third week" and next thing you know ten people are ripped apart is terrifying and there is nothing you can do. You try to restrict guns, people are just gonna find another way to get a gun, making the threat of guns worse, making the gun devil stronger

A death devil or chaos devil would be godlike

Death might be the strongest horsemen/devil in the verse, we already have the war devil so I would imagine the other horsemen will show up. I feel like death would be the strongest devil because all animals fear death, and people fear death the most.

Love how you put metal gear rising in the background at 4:44 lol

Love your work!

Is both sad and awesome the fact such terrified creature got wrecked "offscreem". As much as I wanted to see a fight with him I admit it really up the bar for the real theat of Chainsaw Man part 1

I know Gun Devil isn't the strongest but still the coolest for me. Gun Devil's introduction is insane then I found out it hasn't been animated yet. Gun Devil is literally the reason why I decided to start watching CSM because Gun Devil is scary but also cool.

Great analysis Meti, keep it up!

I've imagined the idea of a clown devil and I have thought of so many ways they can add to it if it ever becomes an actual character. Like when it first shows up, its all of a sudden, and he appears as a normal clown, but with uncannily long legs and a constant smile. I'm really hoping a clown devil becomes a thing, no matter how they portray it as. Because in the modern day at least, that thing would be OP as hell.

Y'know the Gun Devil that Makima killed is quite scary , dont get me wrong , but imagine what the full thing looked like Also i hope that the rest of the pieces of the gun devil are reunited at some point for like a ultimate boss fight type of situation

The months excluded from the gun devil attack also form a kind of sight or aim if you mark them them on a circular year calendar

Nice Mikeburnfire shoutout at 7:33 Nice seeing my seemingly disconnected faves interacting with one another :D

I'm just realizing that a nuke devil will be so fucking strong

with all these superhero references I have a feeling that author took inspiration from Spawn. Characters who is not really a superhero, as he is more supernatural character. However, due to his design highly resembling superhero and him patrolling streets fighting thugs like Batman made everyone consider him superhero story.

Honestly the most interesting thing about the gun devil is that so much of it's fear is not due to its actions but due to how much it was by everyone for so many disasters.

Fitting that chainsaw man is back and you posted this

Excellent analysis!

"There ain't no such thing as enough dakka!" - Gun Devil probably.

Wonder how strong the death devil would be

Thank you for the video.

I love your content so much

The Gun Devil is one of the best parts of Chainsaw man he is the reason why Devil's are feared in the first place and is built up as this main baddie only to have been taken out years ago and yet while becoming a mental obstacle for Denji to overcome when Aki turns into the Gun Fiend. As tragic as Aki's death was People all over the world thought of Denji as a hero and ironically enough Despite Makima's plan of the fear of Chainsaw man being gone supposedly making him weaker seeing everyone supporting and cheering on Chainsaw man gave Denji the determination and drive to kill Makima. In a sense it feels like Poetic justice and its so damn satisfying to read even though I as a reader am still terrified of the gun devil it still represents how overcoming your fear is essential for achieving your goals.

I really do hope in the anime when this scene happens, the president is an actual english voice actor and really does sound like Bill Clinton

Nice editing on the story telling.

Honestly the fight with the gun devil is my favorite thing in media ever and cements my love of Fujimoto's work. I wish to make an indept analysis one day like this video but the gun devil was so incredibly hyped up. From when we 1st hear of it, to hearing what it did and how one of our character's lives was ruined by what it did and has been seeking revenge. On top of all of this, Makima said she'd do one thing for Denji if he killed it and being Denji, originally wanted to probably get laid so like. Motivation. And it could have been such an epic fight! With fight scenes getting like, 500k views, easily could have been a really hyped and well choreographed battle getting millions of view. Instead we get to see it from Aki's point of view, and how to him, it was a snowball fight while he waited for his brother to get a mitten. That choice made this a 'fight' scene one that has and always will stick with me and the raw emotion I felt watching Aki fling 'snowballs' at people. It's brilliant. It was such a risk but Fujimoto wasn't even afraid to take that, it's so clear how confident he was in executing that from the setup as early as chapter 4(?)

Why is no one pointing out the fact that even if a person gets exempted from being shot by the Gun Devil (being born on April, July, and October) that person could still die from the utter catastrophic damages? For instance, my birth month could be July but the falling train I'm on could just lead to everyone else's and my death as well.

7:32 that echelon... I cant imagine it performs all that well, but its not the worst idea I've ever seen

Dude the Dubbing and VAs for these videos are immaculate

0:45 The first KZfaqr advertising of Dungeon Fighter that I've ever seen.

What would be the strongest devil? The death devil maybe ?

oh my god chainsaw man both had a plot point of having nukes annihilated AND had a nuke metaphor the whole time

17:01 man Im happy to see a mgs cutscene vid.

Gotta say. I've read manga for decades and I've read some very gory bloody ones. But the Gun Devil is one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen in a long time. What makes it so fearsome is that it can kill you at any time from anywhere. You have almost no way of defending yourself.

Feels nice seeing Zach Hazard's all knowing knowledge of guns being acknowledged

I still cant get over the aids devil like seriously what was going on with that

2:04 is when the ad ends

i like how in the background for mexico at 4 mins you used the part from revengance that shit funny

So how does devil overlap work I wonder. Some fears lead naturally into another (you could fear heights or deadly animals because you fear death, or sharp objects because you fear pain, etc) so are devils of that nature kin? Allies? Rivals? I mainly wanna know because that could have a LOT of implications for why Chainsaw is so absurdly powerful

I'd like to think that the Gun devil when he was defeated was because makima and chainsawman teamed up to deal with him cause the bullets flying around interfered in their fight. Its possible that after they defeated the gun devil makima inmediately used a contract with the hell devil to push csm into hell where the other weapon devils surprise attacked him almost defeating him since he was weakened after being shot by the gun devil.

Seeing a mikeburnfire reference in a CSM video was… not what I expected. Ya love to see it.

Oh snap, I used to play DFO back in 2010 and then had to quit when the US branch closed. It’s awesome to see it’s come back and is still going strong.

I think that the gun Devil only did the month pun thing because it was in a silly goofy mood

I love how the Gun Devil is literally Juuzo from NGL on that Dark Souls grind

A minute in and im digging your video, then i see a video of yours-the unrelenting horror of whatever, and im thinking i should type "unrelenting horror" in the search bar but im trying hard to finish this one first.

0:36 amazing sound

I wanna see the original devils again, like the darkness devil...

When this eventually gets animated, they should absolutely use a classical music piece or something related Also, Oda (One Piece's Author) is referenced as a death. spelled the same way and mixed with other authors.

Seeing the gun devil for half a second then watching almost 800 people just die would be the scariest fuckin thing 😂😂

I'm glad Zack was mentioned in this video, he definitely could identify them all

I'm just curious if there is a devil devil that has a sort of collective power from the fear of devils

I'd love to see video about monsoon. Masterpiece of monsoon or nihilizm of monsoon or something.

Absolutely brilliant including the MGR reference when going over the Mexico stats. I went back and did a double take

9:37 i dont know if i missed a panel or my interpretation is wrong but i think the manga never explicitly says the gun devil travels from one country to another. To me, it seems like the gun devil was aiming and shooting bullets at random directions for a period time which is even more terrifying because it can be so deadly even over such large distances across the globe.
