Galgali

Galgali works as a member of Public Safety Devil Hunters in Special Division 4.

He is the fiend form of the Violence Devil, inhabiting the body of a deceased human.

Despite carrying the name “Violence,” he has a gentle, easygoing personality and dislikes unnecessary conflict.

After the reorganization of the special divisions, he operates as the partner of Kobeni Higashiyama.

Even among fiends, Galgali retains an unusually high level of human reason and self‑control.

Because his true power is dangerously strong, he is forced to wear a poison‑emitting mask that suppresses his abilities.

In the battle against the Darkness Devil, he removes his mask and fights at full strength.

He puts up a fierce resistance despite suffering severe injuries, but is ultimately killed.

By chapter 83 he is counted by Makima as one of the followers or retainers of Chainsaw Man.

Galgali wears a hooded parka with the hood usually pulled up over his head.

Over his face he sports a distinctive mask that looks like a fusion of a gas mask and a plague doctor mask.

The upper half of the mask resembles a standard gas mask with filters and vents.

The lower half protrudes like a beak, similar to a plague doctor’s mask.

From this mask, poison is constantly emitted, functioning as a limiter that restrains his overwhelming physical power.

The mask is treated as a vital safety device, and Kishibe warns others to never remove it under any circumstances.

Beneath the mask he has a face close to that of a human.

However, he possesses two pairs of eyes, marking him clearly as non‑human even in his “almost human” form.

Galgali’s personality contrasts sharply with the dangerous impression given by the name “Violence.”

He is cheerful, sociable, and friendly, often speaking casually and trying to put others at ease.

He dislikes pointless fighting and does not rush headlong into danger without thinking.

Instead, he calmly assesses battles, recognizes when the situation is unwinnable, and is willing to retreat to survive.

According to Galgali himself, he has “a lot of human brain left,” which explains his strong sense of reason and empathy.

Because of this, he behaves more like a level‑headed veteran than a reckless brute.

He remembers elements of the human life of the body he inhabits, such as the school that person attended and a favorite set‑meal restaurant.

He also remembers being saved by Makima, though he does not recall how or why the original human died.

Galgali shows kindness to his colleagues, particularly Kobeni Higashiyama.

For example, he buys her a soft‑serve ice cream, revealing a gentle, caring side beneath his fearsome powers.

He can also act protectively toward civilians.

At one point he warns a young human woman, “You should run away. If a human gets bitten, they turn into a zombie,” showing concern for her safety.

Galgali’s inherent power as the Violence Devil is so great that, even as a fiend, he remains frighteningly strong.

This is unusual because devils typically become weaker when they turn into fiends.

To keep him under control, his mask constantly releases poison that suppresses his true strength.

Kishibe emphasizes how dangerous Galgali is by ordering that his mask must never be removed no matter what happens.

In combat, Galgali does not display flashy or complex supernatural techniques.

Instead, his abilities appear to focus on extreme physical enhancement, particularly in close‑quarters fighting.

He primarily relies on devastating kicking techniques.

During certain attacks, his leg visibly enlarges at the moment of impact, supporting the idea that he can temporarily amplify his limbs to increase power.

He frequently uses powerful downwards heel drops in critical moments.

He refers to these enhanced kicks as his “serious kicks,” reinforcing that they are among his strongest moves.

Even while restrained by the poison mask, he demonstrates overwhelming superiority in bare‑handed combat compared to most devils and fiends.

His combination of raw strength, speed, and technique makes him one of the most dangerous close‑range fighters in Special Division 4.

When he removes his mask in the fight against the Darkness Devil, his full ability is unleashed.

Although he fights bravely and inflicts impressive damage, the sheer terror and power of the Darkness Devil ultimately overwhelm him, leading to his death.

Kobeni Higashiyama

After the integration of the special divisions, Galgali becomes the partner of Kobeni Higashiyama.

He treats her kindly, often speaking in a reassuring tone and even treating her to soft‑serve ice cream to cheer her up.

Their dynamic contrasts Kobeni’s extreme anxiety with Galgali’s relaxed, gentle demeanor.

This pairing highlights his protective and considerate nature toward more fragile human partners.

Makima

Galgali retains a memory of being saved by Makima during his or his host’s past.

However, he does not remember the circumstances of his own death as a human or how he came to be a fiend.

Later, Makima lists him among the retainers or followers of Chainsaw Man.

This positions Galgali as one of several notable figures connected to the legend and influence of Chainsaw Man.

Other Members of Special Division 4

Within Special Division 4, Galgali is viewed as a powerful but controlled asset.

Kishibe’s strict warning about never removing Galgali’s mask underscores both trust in his loyalty and fear of his unleashed power.

Despite being a fiend, Galgali’s rationality and good humor allow him to work smoothly with human and non‑human teammates alike.

He serves as a rare example of a fiend whose humanity, strategy, and kindness stand out as much as his violence‑based abilities.
