Warning: SPOILERS for chapter #119 of Chainsaw Man.It's the Control Devil vs the War Devil in Chainsaw Man, as Nayuta catches Yoru kissing her "big brother" Denji, leading to an explosive clash between two of the Four Horsemen, who are among the strongest Devils in the series.
After the major role played by Makima in Part 1 of the Chainsaw Man manga, the Four Horsemen remain the main antagonists of Part 2 too. The War Devil, Yoru, has taken control of the body of the young girl Asa Mitaka, and is using her to root out and kill Chainsaw Man. Unaware that he is actually Chainsaw Man, Yoru manipulates Asa into developing feelings for Denji, which will then let her use her War Devil abilities to create a powerful weapon from Denji's body. Asa and Denji have a date at his apartment, but that's where Nayuta, the current incarnation of the Control Devil, also lives.
Denji's Kiss Triggers A Battle Between Two Powerful Devils
In chapter #119 of Chainsaw Man, an explosive situation takes a turn for the worse. Denji tells Asa about the rules of his house, which have been clearly put in place to protect her from Nayuta, who must be just as dangerous as Makima. Rule number 3 is "No matter what, don't make out with me in front of her", which makes Asa understandably angry due to Denji's supposition that she is attracted to him. However, Yoru suddenly takes control and kisses Denji, right as Nayuta comes back home from walking the dog. She calls Yoru "thief" and immediately attacks her with the chains of the Control Devil.
Judging from Yoru's surprised expression, she was not trying to provoke Nayuta, and she is probably unaware of her nature as the Control Devil. It's likely that she was just trying to make Denji more attracted to Asa, in order to make her War Devil powers work on him. It's also great to finally see Nayuta back in Chainsaw Man, after her debut at the end of Part 1. She is already able to use the same powers as Makima, meaning that a full battle against Yoru has the potential to be incredibly destructive. Control and War are among the most powerful Devils, and it will also be interesting to see if they recognize each other as fellow members of the Four Horsemen. Pestilence, in her brief appearances, seemed familiar enough with Yoru, but it's possible that the Control Devil's reincarnation after Makima's death made her a totally different person.
Nayuta Finally Returns In Chainsaw Man
It's hilarious that Denji is, unwillingly, the cause of the clash between two of the strongest Devils. Clearly, Nayuta sees Denji as his own, which is eerily similar to Makima's behavior. Yoru, on the other hand, has recently learned that she does not only share Asa's body, but also her feelings, which means that she is also attracted to Denji. The next chapter of Chainsaw Man will be one of the most exciting of Part 2, as readers will hopefully get to see a battle between two of the strongest Devils, with Denji caught in the middle.
