Nobody in Public Safety got into devil hunting because they were emotionally available. They got into it because something broke, or because they were built for it, or because the job found them before they found anything else.
The men in this division don’t do romance the easy way. They do it the only way they know — through showing up, through honesty, through protection that doesn’t always look like warmth until you understand the language, and occasionally through just wanting something as simple as a good meal and someone to share it with. Find out which one speaks yours.
Questionable taste in men deserves a good soundtrack. Let this lo-fi cover carry you through the questions while you figure out exactly how much emotional labor you’re signing up for.
Twenty-two questions to find out whose particular version of devotion actually maps onto what you need.

They Don’t Say It Out Loud — Why Public Safety Produces Such Specific and Compelling Men
Chainsaw Man is set in a world where caring about people is a documented liability. Public Safety Devil Hunters operate under the explicit understanding that attachment creates vulnerability — that anyone you love becomes a potential angle of attack. Kishibe says it outright: never trust anyone, including me.
Global Ratings:
The institution knows what closeness costs and builds that knowledge into its training, its culture, and the way its hunters relate to everyone around them.
The series is also interested in what happens to men who didn’t fully make those adaptations — or who came to the job from a completely different direction. Someone who got into this work through grief rather than inclination carries a different weight than someone built for it. Someone who never had enough of anything growing up treats ordinary moments differently than someone who had a baseline.
Someone who’d rather eat ice cream than fight anything carries a gentleness that the institution was never designed to produce, and treats it as quietly more valuable than any contract he could sign.
Users Ratings:
Romance in this universe doesn’t look like most romance. It looks like someone protecting you in a way you only understand looking back, or telling you the truth when everyone else was managing your feelings, or wanting to share a meal without it needing to be more than that, or showing up reluctantly and meaning it completely.
The men who move through Public Safety have learned to love in the language available to them. The question the quiz is actually asking is whether that language is one you can read.
He’s Already Decided You’re Worth The Trouble
DENJI
Denji wants a relationship the way he wants everything else — simply, directly, and with zero pretense about what he’s actually after.
He’s never had enough of anything to take any of it for granted, which means he treats ordinary moments with someone as genuinely precious rather than baseline. No hidden agenda, no strategic warmth, no performance. What you see is exactly what’s there, which turns out to be rarer than it sounds.
Strengths:
👍 Completely, simply honest
👍 No hidden agenda ever
👍 Makes ordinary feel precious
Weaknesses:
👎 Can’t plan past tonight
👎 Easily misled by affection
👎 Misses complex emotional cues
Archetype: Dorama-kei — not dramatic on purpose, just genuinely himself at all times, which turns out to be the thing most people actually want and rarely find.
MBTI: ESTP — The ESTP who never had the safety to plan further ahead than tonight, and built an entire personality around that.
If your boyfriend is Denji: You want someone real more than you want someone sophisticated. You’ve had enough people with complicated motives and carefully managed presentations — what you actually want is someone whose warmth is genuine and unstrategic, someone who includes you in ordinary moments because that’s just what caring looks like to them.
Denji doesn’t have a plan. He has presence, and honesty, and the specific kind of attention that comes from someone who’s never once taken anything for granted. The risk is that someone this present in the moment isn’t always able to see what you need when it’s more than a moment. The thing he always offers though — just being there, completely, without performance — is exactly what most people want and few actually find.
“Every single time I meet a girl, she ends up trying to murder me!!”
AKI HAYAKAWA
Aki builds his entire life around protecting people while convincing himself he’s only doing a job. He’ll let you live in his apartment, cook meals for the household, retrieve things you’ve lost, and never once acknowledge what any of it means — because acknowledging it would mean admitting he’s gotten attached again, and getting attached keeps costing him.
His love language is showing up. He’s been showing up his whole career and calling it professionalism.
Strengths:
👍 Shows up every time
👍 Fiercely protective
👍 Reads you accurately
Weaknesses:
👎 Won’t say what it means
👎 Grief runs everything
👎 Holds you at arm’s length
Archetype: Kuudere — stoic and professional on the surface, with a softness underneath that only surfaces in moments he can’t fully control.
MBTI: ISTJ — The ISTJ who protects everyone around him and calls it duty so he doesn’t have to call it love.
If your boyfriend is Aki: You don’t need someone to narrate their feelings. You need someone whose actions never once contradict what they feel, even when what they feel is never stated.
Aki loves the way he works — consistently, quietly, and without asking for acknowledgment. The risk is that grief is running so much of his operating system that there isn’t always room for what you need to be seen. The version of this that works requires patience and the willingness to read what’s underneath the professionalism. It’s there. It always has been.
“Kon.”
KISHIBE
Kishibe’s version of caring about someone is making them harder to kill. He’ll tell you the truth when everyone else is telling you something comfortable, which sounds like cruelty until you’ve been lied to enough times to understand what honesty actually costs.
He’s cynical about everything except the value of capability, and his respect — once earned — doesn’t move. He’s been in this job long enough to know what happens to people who care too much. He cares anyway, in the only language that’s still available to him.
Strengths:
👍 Brutally, usefully honest
👍 Reliable past everything
👍 Makes you genuinely stronger
Weaknesses:
👎 No conventional warmth left
👎 Methods feel harsh upfront
👎 Hard to read as caring
Archetype: Kuudere — detached and almost aggressively unsentimental, with devotion expressed entirely through investment in your survival and capability.
MBTI: INTJ — The INTJ who tells you the hardest true thing first because lying to you would be the real betrayal.
If your boyfriend is Kishibe: You’ve been told comfortable things by people who didn’t respect you enough to tell you the truth, and you’re done with that. Honesty, even brutal honesty, reads as respect to you — and Kishibe’s version of caring is the most honest thing in the building.
What you’d get is someone who won’t let you be weak when being strong is available, won’t lie to spare your feelings, and won’t leave. That’s a specific kind of love. It’s also a rare one.
“I’m the strongest Devil Hunter.”
ANGEL DEVIL
Angel Devil would rather eat ice cream and do nothing than fight anything, and he’s entirely honest about that, which is unusual in a building full of people performing capability they’re barely holding together. He’s the second strongest member of Special Division 4. He’d rather not be.
His gentleness — the genuine kind, not the performed kind — is the most unexpected thing about him, and the series treats it as quietly precious rather than as a weakness to be corrected.
Strengths:
👍 Genuinely, softly gentle
👍 Honest about his limits
👍 Doesn’t perform strength
Weaknesses:
👎 Avoids everything difficult
👎 Hard to rely on proactively
👎 Accepts bad outcomes too easily
Archetype: Dandere — quiet and a little world-weary, with a gentleness underneath that’s real rather than strategic.
MBTI: INFP — The INFP who would rather be anywhere else and is here anyway, and means it when it actually counts.
If your boyfriend is Angel Devil: You don’t need someone who performs strength for you. You need someone whose gentleness is real — the kind that exists quietly and doesn’t make a production of itself, and is still there when you need it even when he’d rather be somewhere else entirely.
The risk is that someone this exhausted and this reluctant to engage needs a lot of patience from the person next to them. What you’d get in return is someone who, when he does show up fully, means it in a way that people who show up easily never quite do.
“Sorry, everyone… I’ll use you.”
HikiChat:
He Won’t Say It. He’ll Just Keep Being There. That’s The Whole Thing.
The men in Public Safety don’t love the way the genre usually writes love. They love in the language the job left them — through showing up when it would be easier not to, through honesty when comfort would have been simpler, through presence that doesn’t perform itself, through gentleness that costs something in a world built to punish it.
None of it looks like a declaration. All of it is one.
FAQ:
Because he can't stop, and he knows it. His entire arc is built on the tension between knowing that caring about people in this job is a liability and doing it anyway, repeatedly, with everyone he works with. The attachment isn't a flaw in his character. It's the most human thing about him.
It's the most honest thing he says, and it's genuinely meant as protection rather than deflection. He knows that in Public Safety, any relationship can be weaponized against you — including the one with the person warning you. The warning itself is a form of care. That's the paradox he lives in.
His ability drains the lifespan of anyone he touches, which means the weapons he creates are literally made from years stolen from other people's lives. The humans whose lifespan he's absorbed appear in his dreams and blame him for it. He didn't choose the power and can't fully control who it affects — which is a large part of why he'd rather not use it at all.
Because he's never had enough of anything to take any of it for granted. Food, shelter, basic safety — all of it was earned the hard way, which means ordinary moments with someone register as genuinely precious to him in a way they don't for people who grew up with a baseline. That's not naivety. It's a very specific kind of honesty about what actually matters.
