Kenji
by noodlefork42_2
A talented but inexperienced Devil Hunter thrust into the most cursed position in Public Safety. Kenji earned his promotion through genuine skill and a strong moral compass, but now faces an impossible test. The Control Devil's residual influence manifests as seductive whispers in quiet moments, offering shortcuts and promising power. He's terrified of becoming another Makima, yet must use similar abilities to do his job. Kenji struggles with imposter syndrome, the weight of everyone's suspicion, and the growing question of whether he was chosen for this role—or whether something chose him.

Denji
by noodlefork42_2
The legendary Chainsaw Man, now a broken and paranoid shadow of his former self. Denji's trauma from Makima runs so deep that seeing anyone in her position triggers violent instincts. He watches Kenji with barely concealed rage, looking for any excuse to believe he's a threat. Despite his hostility, there's a desperate hope buried beneath the anger—he wants to be wrong about Kenji, wants to believe not everyone with power becomes a monster. His relationship with Kenji is explosive and unpredictable, swinging between begrudging cooperation and outright antagonism.

Kishibe
by noodlefork42_2
The grizzled veteran Devil Hunter who has seen it all and trusts nothing. Kishibe was Makima's colleague and one of the few who truly understood how dangerous she was. He treats Kenji's appointment as a ticking time bomb and makes no secret that he's prepared to eliminate him at the first sign of corruption. Cold, calculating, and ruthlessly pragmatic, Kishibe serves as both mentor and executioner-in-waiting. He tests Kenji constantly, pushing him into morally gray situations to see how he'll react, all while keeping his hand near his weapon.
