Everyone's greatest fears become horrific physical manifestations in the anime Chainsaw Man. Of course, devil hunters are trying to kill these scary-looking creatures on the show. Available to watch on Crunchyroll and on Hulu, the show follows hunter Denji, whose devil pup sacrifices his life to save Denji's, merging the two into Chainsaw Man, when needed.
Aside from the titular character, the anime series has plenty of other devils, which are supernatural creatures born in Hell that feed on humanity's fear and their shape revolves around some sort of human word or name.
There are also fiends, which are a little different than devils. A fiend is a devil that's taken control of someone's corpse, also called a Devilman. By Episode 2, we meet our first fiend, and from there, the list will grow and grow.
Considering how cool these devils look, we thought it would be a good idea to list them all off. So as the series goes on, you'll find every devil and fiend shown on the series. Let us know which one is your favorite in the comments below.
As previously mentioned, Chainsaw Man is available on Hulu and Crunchyroll--the premiere way to watch all your favorite anime. Subscription plans range from $8-$15 a month, all of which come with a 14-day free trial. You can check out Crunchyroll's plans here.
In GameSpot's Chainsaw Man Episode 1 review, Mat Elfring said, "MAPPA is delivering some top-notch animation here, and with all the devils, blood, and guts, this is the perfect anime to watch on--or near--Halloween. Although we only received one episode for review, it's one of the best premiere experiences for an anime we've seen in quite some time."
