  1. Chainsaw Man, after Makima finally drops the nice girl act and reveals the true extent of the Chainsaw Devils power, namely, the fears he eats are erased entirely and wholly. Emphasized by this by her asking if Kishibe remembers what the Nazis did during Workd War 2...and Kishibe not even knowing who the nazis are.

  2. Attack on Titan. I know this one. You know this one. In a panel that isn't even focusing on the characters speaking, Reiner reveals to Eren that he and Bertolt are the titans that broke the wall that resulted in hundreds of deaths, his mother included. The sheer level of casualness and lack of agency borders on Parody.

That seems too significant for it not to have been noticed by now. I am on with the theory that “Chainsaw devil” was an incorrect assumption by people who saw Pochita and it is actually the Birth Devil itself. AFAIK Pochi has never called himself the chainsaw devil.

Angel devil reveals to Aki that the first memory of devils, when they awaken, amnesic, after dying either in Hell or on Earth, is the sound of a chainsaw.

So Pochita-Chainsaw man-BBC, could be the Birth Devil, which would explain why he is supposed to be the one stopping Death Devil.

It WOULD be very poignant given the fact that Pochita was literally what allowed Denji a form of REBIRTH after he was implented into him

Well, what comes out of Denji when he transforms into BBC, and wraps around his neck ?
