Hello, I am KENTA, a Japanese who loves manga! This time, I’m going to write an in-depth article about Kobeni’s younger brother, who was the topic of much discussion in the second part of “Chainsaw Man.” If you read this article, you will definitely look forward to the future development of the Kobeni family’s unhappy reasons and the relationship between them and the devil! Let’s explore the secrets of the Kobeni brothers together.
Currently, the second part of the dark hero action manga “Chainsaw Man” is being serialized by JUMP+ to great acclaim, featuring the exploits of a young boy named Denji. In this article, we will thoroughly explain about Kobeni’s younger brother who made his first appearance in Part 2, Episode 114, and discuss the reasons for the Kobeni family’s unhappiness. Let’s get started.
Who is Kobeni’s younger brother?
Kobeni’s younger brother first appeared in Part 2, Episode 114, but at this point his name has not been revealed, and his relationship to Kobeni has not been clearly stated. However, his appearance and behavior, which are recognizable at first glance, have already earned him the nickname “Kobeni’s younger brother” among many readers.
Organizing information from Kobeni’s appearances in Part I
Kobeni’s first appearance in the story is in episode 10, but at that point, his impression of the story is still quite slight. In the early days after being locked up, she made feeble statements such as “We are all going to die here” and “I’m starving to death,” and was so upset by fear that she tried to drink water from the toilet and was knocked unconscious by Himeno. Kobeni also showed panic beyond the bounds of a so-called petulant character, as he killed Denji and stabbed Aki with a kitchen knife in a fit of rage while trying to feed Denji to the heavenly demon.
In the same episode, Kobeni mentioned some of her family relationships. My parents only sent my brother, who was very good, to college and made me work. The only options were sex work or devil hunters. This statement only revealed Kobeni’s unfavorable situation at home, her parents’ inhumanity to her, and the fact that Kobeni has a talented older brother.
Kobeni’s Family Structure Revealed in Episode 20 A further revelation came in episode 20, when the members of the Singularity 4 section gathered for a drink. Kobeni is impressed by the food at the izakaya, “I have never eaten such delicious food before,” and is a 20-year-old who puts most of her income into her house, her contracted demon is a “secret,” her clothes are hand-me-downs from her older sister, and Kobeni has nine sisters. This information also reveals the unusual economic situation of the Kobeni family and their family structure. Of particular note is the family structure: Kobeni has an older sister and nine sisters, including Kobeni. This means that, in addition to his talented older brother, Kobeni has a male sibling. One of these siblings is Kobeni’s younger brother, who made his first appearance in the second part of the book.
Kobeni Brother’s First Appearance and Characteristics
In Part 2, Episode 114, Denji is asked on a date by Yoru in the morning and is once again trapped in the aquarium by the eternal demon. Among the trapped members were Hirofumi Yoshida, who had come to watch over Denji, and members of the Devil Hunter club at the same high school as Asa. Among them was Kobeni’s younger brother, also a member of the Devil Hunter club.
Kobeni’s Actions and Behavior
When Kobeni found out that it was the work of the eternal devil that kept him out of the aquarium, he burst into tears and sniffles in public and said, “I didn’t want to join the Devil Hunter Club. But my mom said I could get a scholarship…” and said and did things that reminded me of Kobeni at the hotel. This caused many readers to ask, “Is this guy related to Kobeni?” Kobeni was trending on Twitter for a while. Kobeni’s younger brother even said, “I’m starving to death,” just as Kobeni had said, and licked the glass of the aquarium tank in fear of starvation. He also licks the glass of the aquarium because he is afraid of starving to death.
Characteristics of Appearance
Kobeni’s younger brother also resembles Kobeni in appearance, with black hair held in place by multiple hairpins, and a mole around his eye that is distinctive, resembling two dots, both of which are common to Kobeni. From the above, it is clear that the author intentionally set up the character closer to Kobeni.
The Reason for the Kobeni Family’s Unhappiness and the Devil’s Relation
From this point on, we will discuss the main topic, the reasons for the unhappiness of the Kobeni family.
Kobeni’s Parents and the “Death Devil” Relationship
Although Kobeni is a major character, he is still a mystery, as his contracted demon was not finally revealed by the end of Part 1. For this reason, he is one of the most discussed characters among readers. His strong family environment and family structure have also been a source of discussion, with some even suggesting that Kobeni’s parents might be death demons. Some have even suggested that Kobeni’s parents may have been death demons, and that Kobeni’s contracted demon may be the very same death demon that has been a mystery for so long.
Since the “Death Devil” is said to be one of the “Four Knights” mentioned by Makima in Part 1, and the “Demon of Domination” and the “Demon of War” have already appeared, many readers are expecting that the “Death Devil” will surely appear in the future as well.
Possible Contract between Kobeni’s Brother and the Devil of Death
Let’s take a hint from Kobeni’s brother’s line and assume that it is his mother who is the candidate for the demon of death.
First of all, Kobeni’s demonic nature is evident in his words and actions. He is always pressuring his daughter to choose between her life-threatening job as a devil hunter and her sex life for the sake of her eldest son’s higher education, which is something that ordinary parents would never think of doing. Kobeni may be offering up a peaceful life and a happy home in exchange for a contract with the devil.
Kobeni is the most cowardly and petty person in the film, but in fact he is one of the best survivors in the film. Kobeni is oddly frightened of the shadow of blood, but he has a ruthlessness that allows him to easily discard those around him to survive. Not to mention the inhumanity he showed at the hotel. When Kobeni surprised many readers by subduing the attackers alone, he no longer looked frightened and moved like a different person without breaking into a sweat. In the hell episode, Kobeni was the only one who survived unscathed while other devil hunters and demons were severely damaged, and it is rumored that Kobeni may have the ability to avoid death or shift the death that befell him to others.
Kobeni’s brother, who is a duplicate of Kobeni, may also have made a contract with the devil of death, and although Kobeni’s abilities as a devil hunter have not yet been revealed in the work, there is a precedent that Kobeni, who was so petulant at first, has shown frightening potential. We can expect to see Kobeni’s unexpected abilities in the future.
As for the true identity of the death demon, Hirofumi Yoshida hints at its existence in episode 115 of Part 2, saying, “I hope the chainsaw man will eat it, the death demon,” so it is expected to appear in the main story in the not-too-distant future. We are waiting for the future development of the story with anticipation.
What do you think? In this issue, we have taken a look at Kobeni’s younger brother, whose words and actions had a strong impact on many readers as soon as he appeared in the magazine. He is a student at the same high school as Asa and belongs to the devil hunter club, so there is no doubt that he will be involved in the story as one of the main characters again. We can expect to see more of Kobeni, who has not been seen since the first part of the game, as well as his reappearance in the game.
