Chainsaw Man Introduces a Second Fumiko

The Mysterious Devil Hunter Appears as a Clone

Chainsaw ManPart Two’s most controversial character by far, Fumiko Mifune appeared on the scene in chapter #136, and has done little but provoke the ire of the fanbase ever since. Offering herself to the Aging Devil in the early goings of the fight, the community rejoiced when Fumiko began losing her organs as a sacrifice. However, it seems that the celebrations were premature, as the moment she speaks her last words in the latest chapter,another Fumiko appears in perfect condition above her own body.

The only other instance of anything similar to Fumiko’s clone inChainsaw Manis Asa and Yoru appearing separately, but even then only one of them is physically present while the other is a hallucination. Theories that the mischievous devil hunterwas actually a devil herself are suddenly much more credible with the latest twist, and the extent of her abilities remain largely mysterious. The possibility that Fumiko has secretly been the Death Devil all this time still exists, though the lack of horseman eyes might point to another possibility.
