The powerful ability that Makima displays in this episode is absolutely unexpected.

After all, it is a long-range, causal, instant-death ability.

Even from hundreds of kilometers away, she can directly kill the enemy.

It's not like the ability obtained from Aki Hayakawa's contract with the Curse Devil, which could be invalidated.

After all... the Katana Devil can't be resurrected when his entire body is turned into meat paste, right? So think about it carefully: this ability is a bug.

And the price is just a life for a life, and it's the lives of others.

Makima seems to have no need to pay the price.

There's no need to offer everything like Himeno, and still lose.

In this comparison, Makima seems even more powerful.

In the conversation between the public safety devil hunters Tendo and Kurose from the imperial capital in the manga, fans confirmed that Makima's identity is "human."

Fans also became curious about the female protagonist Makima, a powerful, beautiful, and mysterious devil hunter.

Everyone must be very curious.

The most important thing is to be curious about the devil she contracted.

It was so strange and powerful that it was impossible to deal with its attack methods.

Resurrection, fighting with bare hands, and the final strange method of assassination... What kind of devil, or what devils, could do these things!

"So Makima should have signed a contract with a devil like immortality, eternal life, and regeneration to have the ability to come back to life?"

"It's still unclear how those enemies on the train were killed, but I think the ability to kill from a long distance should be a sorcery similar to curses, witchcraft, and black magic?"

"The Curse Devil made a contract with Aki Hayakawa. You can see that its ability isn't very strong, so higher-level witchcraft and black magic shouldn't be either."

"Yes, the strength of the devil depends on the degree of human fear of its concept. Curse can be considered a universal term, and it's not that strong. Concepts like witchcraft and black magic, known only in East Asian circles, are definitely not as good as curses."

"And what about black magic? It can directly include curses, witchcraft, and black magic. It must be quite terrifying."

"I thought of one: sacrifice... or blood sacrifice! Makima's ceremony is very similar to blood sacrifices and sacrificial rituals, don't you think?"

"Blood sacrifice to the devil? It's very scary to think about... It makes sense!"

"It's true that the horror of the blood sacrifice ritual has dominated practically every moment of human history, except for modern history..."

"Hiss... So, Makima can only use this ability in a temple; it seems it is related to sacrifice."

"I wonder if it could be the Fate Devil. After all, there's a sense of predestined causality in the way Makima kills people."

"Is it possible... that it's the Death Devil? Humanity's greatest fear is death, right? Whether they're shot or beheaded with a knife, it's death that's scary."

"It makes sense, because Makima has a contract with the Death Devil; she can easily decide the death of others, and she can also resist death!"

"But even if it's a contract with a devil, there must be something that has a corresponding value to the contract itself, right? What price did Makima pay to sign a contract with such a powerful devil?"

"I don't think it necessarily has to be a huge price or anything like that. What if Makima's devil is a devil like Pochita, relatively friendly to humans?"

...

Chainsaw Man fans have different opinions. Everyone is very curious about the devil contracted by Makima, and then all sorts of speculations have emerged on the internet.

Some of these assumptions make a lot of sense if you think about them carefully.

What kind of evil magic devil, fate devil, sacrifice devil, death devil, etc., looks more and more like the right answer?

As expected, they are powerful netizens! Even the true identity of Makima's ruling devil is slightly inferior to these assumptions...

Ren now feels it's a pity that these netizens don't draw manga or write novels.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Ren looked at the cage helplessly and said impatiently, "Okay, okay, I'll let you out today."

"You'll be free soon, don't make any more noise."

Sakura, who was on the side, saw the scene and couldn't help but laugh, "Ren, after all, it's a sparrow, it's used to freedom, and being locked in a cage is not what birds like."

She has been a little freer these last two days, mainly because B Station has started to expand.

So she also recruited some classmates from her alma mater with good skills to join the team.

She even planned to recruit some employees with better education and skills to join the team in the future.

But since Ren was there, Sakura was in no hurry to recruit people.

"I know... Alas! I give it good food and shelter, and it still wants freedom?" Ren asked, unable to stop complaining.

In fact, he was very fond of this little sparrow during that period. At least it was very obedient.

And it seemed to recognize Ren a little. Every time it stood on his hand, it behaved very well.

Except that it kept shouting for freedom, Ren felt a little happy.

This made him feel as if he had seen the special tricolor tabby cat, Becca, in his previous life.

But every time Becca went out, she came home on her own.

Ren knew very well that after letting this little sparrow go, it would never come back for him.

"There's a saying that life is precious, but love is even more precious; if it's for freedom, both can be abandoned," said Sakura. "Compared to a comfortable environment and enough food, the freedom to soar through the skies is what it likes most."

Ren sighed, "I know... It doesn't matter, we'll return you."

He stood up and picked up the cage.

The little sparrow seemed to know something and flapped its healed wings enthusiastically.

It's just that the feathers on its wings are a bit thin, because they were cleaned when the wound was being treated, and the newly grown feathers are not as long as before.

Sakura followed Ren into the community's woods.

Ren opened the cage and said to the sparrow, "Go, this is the freedom you desire."

"Wow!"

The little sparrow seemed to rejoice and flew out of the cage, heading for the sky to which it had always longed to return.
