*"Don’t touch Lord Chainsaw!! You’re filthy!! Monster!! You damn monster!!"*

## **Summary**

**Beam**, a distinctive entity in Tatsuki Fujimoto's "Chainsaw Man," serves as a Public Safety Devil Hunter, affiliating himself with Tokyo Special Division 4. His existence as a fiend and his subsequent roles within the Public Safety Saga, particularly in the Bomb Girl arc, add substantial depth and progression to the overall narrative, with his interactions and choices intertwining with those of the central characters in the series. As a fiend, Beam is subjected to restrictions in his abilities, but he maintains the standard devil abilities and exceptional durability, capable of enduring severe explosions and confrontations. His powers include intangibility, allowing him to traverse through solid matter such as floors and walls. His transformation ability manifests as a shark's head, providing him with increased bite strength, and he can fully embody his **Shark Devil** form for enhanced battle capabilities. Additionally, Beam's heightened sense of smell enables him to identify and distinguish other devils, such as determining Reze's true identity as a Bomb Devil hybrid. Beam is largely characterized by his unwavering loyalty and adoration towards Denji, referring to him as 'Lord Chainsaw' continually. This devotion is accentuated in his constant efforts to protect and assist Denji throughout various conflicts and predicaments within the series. His relationships with other characters mainly revolve around his interactions and alliances within the Special Division 4, with his roles in operations and battles highlighting his commitment to the team's objectives and his comrades' safety. His encounters with enemies, particularly with Reze and other devils, depict the continuous struggle and tension present in the "Chainsaw Man" universe, adding layers to the interpersonal dynamics and conflicts within the series. Beam's involvement in the series is accentuated in the Katana Man and Bomb Girl arcs, where his combative abilities and allegiances become crucial for the unfolding events and confrontations. He is pivotal in the attack on Akane Sawatari's hideout and his subsequent partnership with Denji illustrates his profound impact on the narrative's development. His experiences in the International Assassins arc demonstrate the terrifying and overwhelming presence of the Darkness Devil, culminating in his tragic and brutal demise. Despite his end, Beam's legacy continues to resonate in the series, with mentions and reflections on his deeds and sacrifices underscoring his lasting impact on "Chainsaw Man"’s world. His embodiment of devotion, combat proficiency, and the struggles he faces accentuate the emotional and thematic richness of Fujimoto's creation.
