Chainsaw Man has always been a series filled with shocking twists, but the recent chapters have sent the story to another level of darkness with Yoru at the center of it all. The rivalries fans once believed existed between the Devils have now been revealed as a representation of a much darker truth: Yoru has been the true villain and the real driving force in part 2.

Fans have watched Yoru rise to become increasingly powerful, while always having her calculated plans at work, accommodating for the danger in ways fans never predicted. With her true, world-ending purpose finally coming to light, Yoru stands as Chainsaw Man’s most dangerous villain yet, one whose vision could doom humanity to eternal suffering.

Yoru's shocking master plan in Chainsaw Man cements her as the most dangerous villain fans have seen in the series so far. During much of part 2, fans expected the Death Devil to be the ultimate threat, especially with the sinister build-up surrounding Nostradamus' prophecy.

However, these recent revelations have completely shifted the focus, outing Yoru's true goals and aspirations, which feel not only more horrifying but also crueler since her desire is much more personal. Unlike the Death Devil, whose power represented a natural end for humanity, Yoru's goal is to bend existence itself forever into a reality that can transform into a battlefield that keeps granting her more power with its existence.

At the core of her plan is driven by the desire to erase the concept of death. This revelation flips everything because death, though scary, implies closure, release, and even mercy from suffering. The plan means removing this mercy and any sort of finality. This might create a reality where war is eternal, or where any life can end, and pretending it will be for the greater good for whoever is fortunate enough to survive.

Under her rule, humanity would be trapped in an endless cycle of suffering, all for her empowerment. This ambition elevates her beyond the role of a mere antagonist, making her a figure who thrives on the destruction of hope itself.

This was never about companionship or connection; it was about power, dominance, and the fulfillment of her ethically challenged ideals. Fujimoto's craftsmanship revolves around the surprisingly slow unraveling of this truth, leaving fans horrified yet entranced.

Now that this master plan has been unveiled, fans can see why Yoru is now the series' true villain beyond the Death Devil. While the Death Devil's apocalypse would have robbed everything from existence to non-existence quickly, Yoru's vision is unimaginably worse, stripping humanity of all escape and trapping them in perpetual torment.

This notion not only confirms her as the ultimate foe but also establishes that Chainsaw Man has entered its final and most vicious stage. The looming clash of Denji, Pochita, and Yoru's ever-expanding army of Devils is set to be the bloodiest fight yet, solidifying it as the stuff of nightmares.

Chainsaw Man has raised the stakes and revealed Yoru's true intention, identifying her as the series' darkest and most dangerous villain. Yoru's ultimate goal is to perpetuate humanity’s suffering without any possibility of relief.

Yoru's goal is to eliminate death itself, and it is this element that makes her so uniquely terrifying. As fans now reach the bloodiest and strongest point in the story, they are left to prepare for a final battle unlike any previous fight.
