Is Chainsaw Man Hiding the Real Famine Devil from Fans?

Among the most formidable entities in the universe of Chainsaw Man are the Four Horsemen, comprising the Control Devil, Famine Devil, War Devil, and Death Devil. A compelling theory has emerged, centering on Fami, the Famine Devil, and her unexplored true identity.

To date, fans have encountered the Control Devil (represented by Makima and Nayuta) and the War Devil (Yoru), yet the Death Devil remains shrouded in mystery. Fami, on the other hand, remains a background character with scant information regarding her powers and identity, leading to speculation that her true persona, Kiga, may exist as a hidden mastermind behind the chaos.

Chainsaw Man Might Still Hide the Real Famine Devil

Fami, known as the Famine Devil, represents the collective dread of hunger and scarcity. First introduced in chapter 108, her role in the narrative has progressively deepened with intrigue. Her mission involves bolstering the War Devil, instilling fear in Chainsaw Man to augment his strength, while simultaneously attempting to thwart the Prophecy of Nostradamus from becoming a reality.

What if Fami is the enigmatic puppeteer behind the chaotic events unfolding in Chainsaw Man Part II? This hypothesis correlates with a recent theory surrounding the series. Each of the Four Horsemen embodies the fundamental fears they represent; for instance, Makima’s obsession with control and Yoru’s view of others solely as tools for use.

In this way, Fami must be tormented by an insatiable hunger. This suffering can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. As she articulated, she seeks to preserve her favorite food from being extinct. Nevertheless, she perpetually appears unsatisfied, exuding a wearied demeanor, suggesting that food fails to nourish her spirit. This could also reflect her feelings toward people, who do not fulfill her needs either.

This notion supports the idea of her being the master strategist orchestrating the events of the series. Her constant struggle with hunger likely fosters a sense of indifference, leading her to believe that only the totality of the world could finally bring her contentment. Thus, her ultimate form may be something colossal, like Kiga, with the capacity to consume the very Earth itself.

However, consuming the planet would inevitably result in the demise of all life. To avert this, she appears to manipulate the narrative, claiming to target the Death Devil through Yoru and Chainsaw Man. It is speculated that eliminating the Death Devil could eradicate the concept of death, therefore potentially ushering in a state of immortality. Thus, if she were to devour Earth, she might at long last achieve satisfaction.

Nevertheless, this scenario may remain elusive due to the unyielding nature of hunger. The relentless desire that accompanies hunger is inherently perpetual, thus it endures. Fami’s goal of eradicating Death could embody the ultimate form of Gluttony. Furthermore, the allure of an infinite existence may be tantalizing to one perpetually seeking fulfillment, suffering through a life defined by relentless desire and the obsession with hunger.

Conclusion

This theory offers yet another intriguing layer to the rich tapestry of Chainsaw Man conjectures. While it may sound far-fetched, creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has consistently demonstrated his remarkable storytelling prowess, catching fans off guard with each new chapter.

So far, little has been revealed about Fami aside from her ambitions and the fear she embodies. Nonetheless, the theory seems plausible, as the eradication of the Death Devil would serve multiple factions, including the Four Horsemen.

The realization of this theory will hinge on the unfolding narrative and the surprises that Fujimoto unveils in upcoming installments.
