Tatsuki Fujimoto Has the Chance for a Captain America Crossover that Chainsaw Man Can Easily Fulfill Because of Yoru’s Existence

The creator of Chainsaw Man, Tatsuki Fujimoto, is known for his wild creativity, grotesque art style, and deep socio-political commentary embedded into the storyline. Alongside his original work as a mangaka, he keeps himself busy simultaneously with crafting new artworks, as seen from his earlier rendition of Marvel’s Captain America.

However, the fun doesn’t end there. In fact, Fujimoto’s rendition of Marvel’s iconic star is already something of a cultural landmark. His version of Captain America is not a clean-cut, idealistic figure from the MCU. This terrifying version looks like he could be a Devil straight out of the Chainsaw Man universe.

It’s a vision that sparks the imagination among fans: what if Chainsaw Man and Captain America crossed paths? How would the story unfold, and more importantly, how would the War Devil, Yoru factor into such a mind-blowing crossover?

Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Version of Captain America

In 2020, Tatsuki Fujimoto shared an exclusive artwork of Captain America with a Chainsaw Man aesthetic. And this depiction isn’t just a blood-drenched version of a beloved character for shock value. The mangaka showcased Captain America as if they were a devil rather than the idealized character played by Chris Evans.

From the captain’s rifle to the blood-drenched star on his chest, this artwork is filled with subtle details and symbolism. This parallels Chainsaw Man in many ways, especially in how Fujimoto uses Devils as metaphors for human fears and desires. This display left the door of imagination for a possible Chainsaw Man x MCU crossover.

The stunning artwork has resurfaced once again, sparking an immense desire for an introduction of such a twisted version of Captain America into Chainsaw Man. In this crossover, Captain America would not be a hero to be admired, but rather an enemy to be reckoned with.

According to @Chainsawpedia, the introduction of such a twisted version of Captain America into Chainsaw Man would open the door for an unforgettable clash between him and Yoru, the War Devil. Given her role as a powerful antagonist who thrives on war and violence, this confrontation would be disastrous.

In a particularly dark and thrilling scenario, Yoru, the War Devil, could initiate an epic showdown on American soil — perhaps cracking the Statue of Liberty herself. And as the statue crumbles, out of the wreckage could emerge the terrifying, nightmarish version of Captain America, covered in gore.

On one hand, Yoru represents the inevitability of conflict, the way war shapes societies and empires. On the other hand, this version of Captain America could be seen as the corrupted face of nationalism. Tatsuki Fujimoto, known for his blending of socio-political analogy in chaotic storylines could use this scenario to transcend the boundaries of Japan in Chainsaw Man‘s plot.

The Chainsaw Man‘s world is perfect for such kinds of crossovers. Fujimoto’s ability to blend absurdity with heart-wrenching emotional moments would allow for a rich, layered narrative. Thus, a Chainsaw Man and Captain America crossover would be groundbreaking, not just because of the spectacle of seeing Marvel and Chainsaw Man’s worlds collide, but because of the thematic depth Fujimoto could bring to the story.

Chainsaw Man is currently available to read and watch on Viz Media and Crunchyroll, respectively.
