Devils rank on fear, not just firepower
Chainsaw Man's power system is literal fear-scaling, so a tier list here is almost a horror ranking. The primal devils (Darkness, Death, War) sit near the top because humanity fears the concepts themselves, while beloved characters like Power and Aki rank on story weight over raw strength. Makima is the series' great outlier — near-unkillable and narratively central, an easy S on both axes. And Part 2 keeps adding contenders, so any list splits by arc. Whether you rank by who wins the fight or who wrecks the reader, this cast makes both fun.
