Bastion (Chainsaw Man Supplement)

Devil Hunter

Executioners Of Demons

In the world of Chainsaw Man there are those who take on the job of executing devils, these people are dubbed 'Devil Hunters'. A majority of Devil Hunters are self employed and tend to sell off their kills on the market, while some are enlisted into government programs and agencies. Some Devil Hunters may use Contracts in order to give themselves an upper hand against the Devils who roam the world, Devil Hunting is a high risk profession as many Devil Hunters, even those with high skill, are prone to die young. People who aren't Devil Hunters try to avoid these individuals due to the fact they will be reminded of Devils.
