Chainsaw Man’s War Devil truly does think of herself as a mother, and Yoru’s relationship with Asa shows how

Ever since the release of the 176th chapter of the Chainsaw Man manga, the fandom has been abuzz with discussions about War Devil Yoru. Mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto’s series has been garnering attention for this particular character, and for good reason. In the recent chapter, Yoru accomplished something that was previously only achieved by Control Devil Makima, and with the assistance of the Angel Devil’s power.

This impressive feat was achieved through her weaponization ability, which allowed her to summon the Tank and Gun Devils. She then transformed them into the Right Gun Gauntlet and Left Tank Gauntlet, enabling her to inflict significant damage on Pochita’s Hero of Hell form. The intense battle also resulted in the Mouth Devil being freed from Pochita’s stomach.

The potency of these weapons is derived from Yoru’s sense of responsibility in creating them, as she confesses in chapter 176 that she views herself as their true mother. This revelation also sheds light on Yoru’s nurturing behavior towards Asa Mitaka, redefining their relationship.

Chainsaw Man Part 2: The Motherly Figure of Yoru and Her Relationship with Asa

Ever since their first encounter in Chainsaw Man, War Devil Yoru has always displayed a sense of parental authority towards Asa Mitaka. This is evident in their initial conversation, where Yoru insists that Asa attend school and follow her commands to avoid being killed. While their mother-like relationship is apparent, Yoru’s forceful demands also highlight their subtle connection.

Throughout the first several chapters of the manga’s Academy Saga, known as Part 2, fans witness the tailored interactions between Yoru and Asa. Yoru’s goal-oriented nature is evident in her relationship with Asa, as she frequently gives orders and assigns tasks, ignoring Asa’s protests. Similar to a mother, Yoru is also quick to offer help, but her attempts often backfire due to her misinterpretation of Asa’s emotions or the situation at hand.

Over time, the relationship between the pair evolves into a genuine bond, similar to the close friendship that can develop between a mother and her child. Although Yoru’s role in Asa’s life is not that of a traditional mother figure, certain aspects of her identity still influence how she interacts with him. This suggests that Fujimoto was laying the foundation for Yoru’s mother-like qualities early on.

Despite becoming close friends, Yoru and Asa’s relationship still carries a subtle motherly tone in their interactions. This is evident in their preparations for a date with Denji, as they playfully argue about what to wear. While Yoru’s desire for Asa to impress Denji is not the same as a mother’s wish for her daughter’s romantic success, the underlying sentiment remains the same.

Yoru’s palpable guilt for sacrificing the Tank and Gun Devils, as shown in the most recent release of Chainsaw Man, further solidifies the argument. This is evident in the damage she inflicts on Pochita, as her weapons increase in strength in proportion to her guilt over her sacrifices. This is only the second time that Pochita has sustained severe injuries while in his true form as the Hero of Hell, indicating the immense power of these two weapons.

This further emphasizes Yoru’s motherly nature as she feels immense guilt over sacrificing the Tank and Gun Devils. Her relationship with Asa also reveals her deep maternal instincts, solidifying her as one of the most well-written characters in Chainsaw Man Part 2. This adds a layer of complexity to her personality, showcasing her strong motherly identity.
