Chainsaw Man: Who Is Nomo? The Devil Hunter from Public Safety Division 2
Nomo is a Devil Hunter from Public Safety Division 2 in Chainsaw Man.
He’s best known as the dependable senior of Aki Hayakawa, often watching over him during dangerous missions.
In fact, Nomo once mentioned that when he became vice-captain, he wanted to recruit Aki to his own squad — showing how much he respected Aki’s potential.
Aki, in return, also looked up to Nomo as a senior he could rely on.
[Analysis] Why Did Nomo Recognize Reze’s Face?
Nomo’s Contract Devil — The Fox Devil
Nomo had a contract with the Fox Devil, one of the friendlier devils in Chainsaw Man.
The Fox Devil is known for forming contracts with many Devil Hunters in Public Safety, especially those it finds attractive — because, interestingly, the Fox Devil is female and quite the “face snob.”
Good-looking contractors are granted access to summon the Fox Devil’s head, its most powerful form.
However, Nomo could only summon the Fox’s leg, which implies that the Fox Devil didn’t find him handsome enough to lend her full power.

This small detail adds a bit of humor to his character, but it also tells us that Nomo still managed to fight effectively despite the limited contract.
Was Nomo a Strong Devil Hunter?
Even though he could only summon the Fox’s leg, Nomo was still a capable and courageous Devil Hunter.
During the intense battle against Reze, the Bomb Devil hybrid, Nomo survived a close-range explosion — an attack that would have instantly killed most hunters.
Despite losing an arm, he quickly stopped the bleeding and continued to fight, even joking to Reze,
“That’s quite the outfit for my eyes.”
In Chainsaw Man, devils grow stronger the more fear they inspire.
For Nomo to show no fear — even when facing a devil as deadly as Reze — proves just how skilled and fearless he truly was.
Even Reze herself acknowledged his toughness during their encounter.
Nomo’s Death and His Hidden Heroism
Unfortunately, Nomo was ultimately killed by Reze, but not before ensuring that Denji and Aki could escape safely.
His sacrifice allowed them to survive the attack, making Nomo an unsung hero of the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc.
Though his screen time was short, his bravery, professionalism, and humor left a strong impression on fans — proving that even minor characters in Chainsaw Man carry incredible depth.
