Ever since War Devil Yoru brought out her two strongest weapons in Chainsaw Man, fans have been theorizing about who will win the fight between Yoru and Pochita. While most fans believe that either of the two devils will win, there is reason to believe that neither devil will succeed. Instead, it will be Famine Devil Fami who will end up as the victor.

As fans might remember, Fami is one of the four Horsemen of Apocalypse. Nevertheless, she wants to defeat the Death Devil alongside her sister Yoru. However, Yoru was too indulged in her quest to defeat Pochita; hence, she did not wish to use her strongest weapons. This is why Fami must have created a situation where Pochita and Yoru fight each other at their strongest.

Chainsaw Man: How will Fami end up as the victor in Yoru vs. Pochita?

As fans might remember, Famine Devil wanted to prevent the Nostradamus' prediction of the upcoming apocalypse brought forth by the Death Devil. For this, she wished to acquire her sisters' help. While Nayuta straight-up refused due to school, Yoru was far more focused on her quest to defeat Pochita. Moreover, the War Devil was only at her strongest when she used her strongest weapons. However, she refused to use them.

As revealed in Chainsaw Man chapter 176, Yoru's strongest children were born from her, and she considered them very precious. Hence, she was hesitant to use them to defeat Pochita. But, as Yoru analyzed her desires, her wish to defeat Pochita was far stronger than her love for her children. Thus, she turned her children Gun Devil and Tank Devil into her weapons.

Doing so essentially saw Yoru doing exactly what Fami had wanted all this time, which is for the War Devil to become her strongest self to fight Death Devil. Considering how conniving Control Devil Makima was in the past, there is a good chance that the current situation in Chainsaw Man was also conspired by a Horsemen of Apocalypse, Famine Devil.

Therefore, it might be Fami who shaped the events in such a way that Asa became stronger. This effectively allowed Yoru to make weapons without contact. As for her weapons Gun and Tank gauntlets, Fami must have manipulated the situation in such a way that Pochita was far too strong for Yoru to handle by herself, forcing her to rely on her children. Therefore, no matter the fight's result, as long as Yoru survived, Fami may have succeeded in her mission.

As for the fight between Pochita and Yoru, both characters are the devils that have taken over the protagonists Asa Mitaka and Denji's bodies. Considering that their survival is vital to the story's proceedings, it is impossible for either of the characters to get killed. Thus, there is a good possibility that the fight between Pochita and Yoru will end in a draw.

Even if one of the two devils were to be defeated, there is a high chance for the other to not kill them. Considering how it cannot be Pochita, the fight could see Yoru take the win. However, Asa Mitaka could stop the War Devil from killing Pochita to prevent Denji's death. Fans should remember that even Yoru had developed some weird likeness towards Denji due to Asa. Hence, the fight could see both characters survive.
