- History
The Hell Devil plays a crucial role in various story arcs within its narrative universe. In the International Assassins arc, it manifests as a colossal six-fingered hand. This occurs when Santa Claus utilizes the Hell Devil’s power, sacrificing one of her flawless dolls and three children. The resulting manifestation transports everyone in a building to Hell.
- Control Devil Arc
In the Control Devil arc, the Hell Devil is summoned by Kishibe’s ‘Anti-Makima Squad’ as they seek to eliminate Makima and condemn her to Hell. Six Devil Hunters from the squad slit their throats, enabling them to summon the Hell Devil physically. However, Chainsaw Man, in his Full Devil form, quickly obliterates the Hell Devil into several pieces. Later, one of the Devil hunters resurrects the Hell Devil using their blood, intending to utilize its ability to send Chainsaw Man to Hell.

- Anti-Makima Squad Contract: The members of the Anti-Makima Squad formed a contract with the Hell Devil, offering their lives in exchange.
