Among all the devils in Chainsaw Man, the War Devil surprises viewers with her intriguing personality. However, in terms of abilities, what can we expect from her? Just what are the different powers of the War Devil?

Spoiler Warning: This article contains spoilers from the Chainsaw Man manga!

Yoru: The War Devil Who Vows to Bring Back Nuclear Weapons

In Chainsaw Man Part 2, readers are introduced to Asa Mitaka, the host of the War Devil aka Yoru, who is a part of the dreaded Four Horsemen.

It was revealed that Yoru saved Asa from death and eventually chose Asa as her new vessel by consuming half of her brain.

The War Devil has a grudge against Chainsaw Man, which is most likely the same as the other Four Horsemen.

Does this mean that Denji will have another troublesome enemy? Probably.

One factor that makes the War Devil so powerful is her confidence and pridefulness.

She is aware of her abilities and believes that all enemies, aside from Chainsaw Man, are warm-ups.

She vowed to take the nuclear weapons back from Denji, and nothing will stop her from achieving her goal.

One of Yoru's abilities is flesh weapon creation, wherein she can create deadly weapons made from human flesh. To do this, she (or Asa) must touch the desired material first.

Some examples are the Tanaka Spinal Cord Sword; a crooked sword made from Tanaka’s head and spinal cord, and the Flesh Hand Grenade; a hand grenade made from the arm of the class president.
