Akane Sawatari

==Summary==
Akane Sawatari ( アカネ Sawatari Akane?) was a former civilian Devil Hunter who allied herself with the Gun Devil and worked with Katana Man. She had a contract with the Snake Devil.
She is the secondary antagonist of the Katana Man arc.
Akane is normally calm and cool-headed, she can become panicked as seen when she was flustered after her subordinates started dying from Makima's counterattack.
Akane usually has her hands in her pockets, presumably to hide her bloody fingernails, so others don't know what she sacrifices to her Snake Devil contract.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Snake Devil Contract: Akane has a contract with the Snake Devil that allows her to summon it at will through the following commands:
*"Swallow it whole" (み Marunomi?): Akane fully summons the Snake Devil to absorb the target as seen when she used this ability to devour the Ghost Devil almost completely, except for it’s head.

*"Spit it out" (きし Hakidashi?) : After being absorbed into the Snake Devil, the target being is restored and can be used to fight alongside Akane after speaking the command followed by the absorbed being's name. She used this against Aki Hayakawa to summon the Ghost DevilChainsaw Man Chapter 25Chainsaw Man Chapter 34. However, releasing absorbed being caused her nose to bleed which indicates an internal damage due to sacrifice.

*"Tail" ( Shippo?): Akane is also able to summon the tail of the Snake Devil. A example of this is when she used this ability against Kobeni HigashiyamaChainsaw Man Chapter 28.

Weaknesses: In exchange for using each command, Akane loses one fingernail, leaving the sensitive nail bed and matrix exposed. Additionally, use of the Snake Devil's abilities requires hand motions, so, if her hands are restrained, she cannot use the abilities.
