A big part of watching the Chainsaw Man anime involves witnessing brutal fight scenes, with powerful devils slaughtering each other. While some demons seem as fragile as humans, others bring our nightmares to life. This leads to the obvious question – who are the most powerful devils in Chainsaw Man? We're here to try to answer exactly that. Regardless of their form, fiend, fiend or hybrid, all are on the radar. With that, here are the 15 most powerful devils ranked in Chainsaw Man.

Spoiler alert: Our guide contains major spoilers for the entire plot of the Chainsaw Man manga. We suggest you read all chapters of the CSM manga that are out of date before diving in.

Without a doubt, Pochita, aka the Chainsaw Devil, is the most powerful devil in the Chainsaw Man franchise. Although it may seem that many devils can overpower the Chainsaw Man, none of his defeats are permanent. But if he wins, it's literally the end of the devil. If a devil dies in the human world, it is reborn in hell in the CSM universe. Meanwhile, if a devil dies in hell, it is reincarnated in the human world. There seems to be no end to this cycle, at least, until that devil meets Pochita.

If Pochita defeats and consumes a devil, not only that devil but also its fear ceases to exist. The prime example of that is the Nazi devil. Once consumed by the Chainsaw Devil, everyone forgot that Nazis even existed. Only the extremely powerful devils are somehow immune to this amnesia. Not to forget, Pochita can also weaken devils by consuming parts of them.
