Chainsaw Man: Every Central Character’s Age

Chainsaw Man is an ongoing manga and anime series famous for its complex characters and their stories. Delving into the ages of these characters will help fans get a better understanding of their actions and influence on the overall plot.

According to the manga’s current timeline, Denji, the titular protagonist of Chainsaw Man, is 18 years old. He was born in 1980 and was introduced to the story as a 16-year-old boy.

Denji becomes a Devil Hunter at a young age to pay off his father’s debt. However, complicated situations lead him to form a deal with Pochita, his dog, allowing both of them to merge and form a devil-human hybrid called Chainsaw Man.

Although Makima’s age is a huge debate in the fandom since her age was never revealed by Tatsuki Fujimoto, some believe that she is in her mid-20s. On the other hand, fans also believe that she could be millions of years old because she is a devil.

Others argue that she is as old as humanity’s fear of control because Makima can control anyone and anything, thereby giving her the name ‘Control Devil.’ She is essentially immortal and is characterized by a manipulative demeanor.

Nayuta

Born in 1997, Nayuta is the reincarnation of the Control Devil, Makima. According to the present timeline in the manga, Nayuta is between 8 to 10 years old.

Kishibe found Nayuta when she was born, and Denji adopted her as his little sister. She is one of the Four Horsemen, and although she is Makima’s reincarnation, she cannot control some people. Moreover, she does not retain her memories as Makima, but most of her abilities are passed on to her.

Asa Mitaka

Though her age remains untold by the author, she is speculated to be around Denji’s age. As such, she is in her late teens, most probably between 15 to 18.

Asa Mitaka is a complex character who shares a complicated relationship with Denji. She was formerly a human who turned into a Fiend Host through Yoru’s coercion. Despite harboring War Devil Yoru, Asa is generally a quiet and pessimistic person.

War Devil Yoru is the tritagonist in Chainsaw Mam’s Academy Saga. Although her birthdate remains unknown, she is above 50 years of age.

As the War Devil, Yoru is a member of the Four Horsemen. She revived Asa when the president killed her, allowing her to inhabit Asa’s body. Unlike other calm Horsemen, Yoru is loud and short-tempered. However, she can also be insecure and sensitive at times.

Quanxi

Hailing from China, Quanxi, the first Devil Hunter, is over 50 years of age. Despite being in her 50s, she looks young due to being a human-devil hybrid.

Quanxi is smart and manipulative, and she knows how to use her powers, making her a suitable antagonist in the series. She hunts devils and is feared as such, retaining her superhuman abilities in her human form. Her value as an assassin is applauded and her extraordinary skills are admired by the other characters.

Fami

The Hunger Devil, Fami, is another character whose age is a subject of speculation. She is argued to be millions of years old due to being the Famine Devil. In that, she is as old as hunger or famine.

Fami, similar to the Control Devil, embodies the fear of starvation for humanity. She is one of the four Horsemen and has the power to heal and enslave others. Besides, beneath her calm disposition is her ability to use the powers of other devils.
