When it comes to demon hunter anime series, the theme has become common in the anime world. Popular anime series often adopt this theme with different variations of characters and names. Most demon hunter anime series showcase the main character’s pursuit in facing dangerous monsters and eliminating the demons. These professional demon hunters are not amateurs; rather, they belong to professional organizations that assign missions to find and eradicate these monsters.
Two anime series that stand out among the demon hunter genre are Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Both of them present demon hunters that belong to a professional organization. However, when it comes to which one is more dangerous, we will have to compare them.
1. Serious Task of Demon Slayer Corps – Kimetsu no Yaiba
The world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is filled with man-eating demons that terrorize cities and villages during the night. The demons have many natural advantages over humans, including speed, strength and quick regeneration. Furthermore, the demons also have a unique blood art ability. The demon hunters professionally combat these demons using their Nichirin swords. These swords are forged from sunlight, which aids the demon slayers in permanently killing the demons by decapitating them. The demon slayers also strengthen their combat abilities through their unique breathing techniques, such as Tengen Uzui’s Sound Hashira and Tanjiro Kamado’s Sun Breathing technique. Moreover, demon hunters receive logistic support from local inns, which protect them with their walls and wisteria flowers to repel demons.
Although the demon slayers have a lot of advantages, their jobs are exceedingly dangerous. In fact, most of them are young adults, and the death toll among demon slayers is high. Even the 9 Hashiras, the highest-ranking demon slayers, have difficulty dealing with demons like Akaza and the Daki/Gyutaro combo.
2. Demon Hunter Public Safety Job – Chainsaw Man
In the alternative world of Chainsaw Man set in the 1990s, the Tokyo city government employs professional demon hunters to find and destroy all the demons that threaten humans. Demon hunters can use their own weapons, such as Aki Hayakawa’s Katana. They can also use their demon or fiend allies to fight back. Demon hunters capture the demons to make a contract with them to fight other demons with equal strength.
These demon hunters are either employees of the public safety division or the private sector. The hunters of the public safety division are salaried employees of the government. The protagonist of Chainsaw Man, Denji, and his friend Power are members of the Fourth Division of the Public Safety Bureau, led by the mysterious Makima. This gives viewers a sense of what the job really is.
As pegged pemerintah Jepang in the 1990s, demon hunters are well-supported logistically. They can use 1990s era mobile phones to contact each other, and they can reach demon locations in no time using cars. Moreover, they can form large teams to combat stronger demons and have all the necessary accommodations in Tokyo, from transportation to electricity.
3. Demon Hunter Chainsaw Man Vs. Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba
Both the demon hunting jobs presented in Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba are dangerous with serious risks. Demons and fiends have scary supernatural powers that are difficult to combat with human weapons and tactics. Therefore, we can say that demon hunters of Kimetsu no Yaiba have a more challenging job. The reason behind it is that they don’t have modern facilities at their disposal. Everything modern is readily available in Chainsaw Man.
In conclusion, when it comes to which anime series has the more dangerous demon hunters, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba takes the cake. Although Chainsaw Man has modern facilities, demon hunters in this series can communicate freely, and their primary goal is to capture demons for contract purposes rather than killing them.
