The Explanation of Kishibe’s Devil Contract in Chainsaw Man

Fans of Chainsaw Man’s Kishibe, known for being one of the most powerful members of Public Safety, often speculate about whether he possesses a Devil contract. His impressive feats, such as easily defeating Denji and Power, and surviving years of battling numerous Devils in the industry, highlight his exceptional abilities and strategic prowess.

Despite Chainsaw Man fans not witnessing him utilize his Devil abilities in a visually striking manner, Kishibe’s Devil contracts serve as prominent examples of his fighting style and decision-making process, in addition to showcasing his internal conflicts.

As of now, Kishibe has agreements with the Claw Devil, the Knife Devil, and the Needle Devil. Nonetheless, it should be noted that the narrative does not reveal the cost of these agreements. This is understandable as author Tatsuki Fujimoto has not delved into the character’s past or reasons.

Additionally, it is evident that Kishibe possesses exceptional endurance and strength, as demonstrated by his effortless defeat of both Denji and Power. He also exhibits a high level of battle IQ, as evidenced by his ability to evade Makima’s manipulations for an extended period of time. Moreover, he consistently engages in combat, relying solely on his own abilities.

Due to his Knife Devil contract, he possesses exceptional skills in utilizing the tool during battles, cementing his position as one of the top fighters in the Chainsaw Man universe. In fact, he is widely regarded as the most skilled fighter among all the characters in the series, earning him the title of the strongest Devil Hunter. It is no surprise then that he was chosen to train both Denji and Power.

Why Kishibe Doesn’t Utilize His Contracts, Explained

It has been consistently demonstrated that the Public Safety business was the cause of Kishibe’s downfall, making it unlikely for him to offer more to the Devils he had formed contracts with. This was exemplified by the character of Aki in the series, who gradually gave more of himself in Devil contracts and ultimately fell prey to Makima’s manipulative schemes.

Despite this, it should be noted that Kishibe’s past has not been extensively explored on screen. As a result, fans are left to speculate about his reasons for not utilizing his Devil contracts, especially in light of the formidable opponents he has encountered such as Quanxi and Makima.
