With the latest Chainsaw Man chapter 212, Tatsuki Fujimoto reintroduced the character Fumiko Mifune into the manga series. Fumiko was first introduced during the Chainsaw Man Church arc when Hirofumi Yoshida introduced her to Denji. She quickly became intimate with Denji.

While they were on a karaoke date, a group of men with baseball bats attacked them. As Denji fought off the attackers, Fumiko continued singing, causing Denji to question whether she was an ally or an enemy. Yoshida clarifies for Denji that Fumiko is part of Tokyo Special Division 7 for Public Safety and has been assigned as his high school bodyguard, despite being 22 years old.

Later in the arc, when the Spear Hybrid and Miri Sugo appear, Fumiko reveals her true colors, admitting she never cared about Denji's well-being and mocking Nayuta for losing her pets. She then leaves Denji and Nayuta vulnerable to Barem and the rioting crowd.

She later appears during the Chainsaw Man's Aging Devil arc, during Pochita's fight against Public Safety. To stop the Chainsaw Man Devil, Fumiko and several Japanese politicians discuss Public Safety's plan to sacrifice children up to nine years old as part of their deal with the Aging Devil.

However, she later betrays the Primal Fear by offering her heart to Yoshida, as she promised she would side with the likely winner of the battle. When one of Fumiko's duplicates is destroyed, another duplicate remains on the scene. In exchange for access to Fumiko's heart, Yoshida commands the Octopus Devil to swallow the Aging Devil whole.

In the current arc, Fumiko appears while Denji rests in the nurse's office in preparation for the fight against Yoru. She then reveals that she made a contract with the STD Devil at age 14; any human who has s*x with Fumiko transforms into a perfect duplicate of her. She also reveals that there's a Fumiko Mifune in every country. With many of her duplicates around the world, she has effectively created a global network of information.

Apart from her normal abilities as a Public Safety Devil Hunter, Fumiko Mifune has been shown to make two Devil contracts so far. Earlier, she made a contract with the Aging Devil to stop Pochita. As part of their agreement, the Aging Devil can use Fumiko as a weapon by sacrificing any organ from her body whenever it needs power.

Final thoughts

With Fumiko Mifune's recent reintroduction into the Chainsaw Man narrative, Fujimoto might be planning something big with her, especially given her interest in the Death Devil and War Devil's conflict. While her return could be somewhat controversial, she will definitely have a role in Denji and Yoru's lives.
