Tokyo Special Division 5 was a Public Safety subdivision Makima built from the Weapon Hybrids she controlled, reassembling the old enemies of the Chainsaw Devil for one last attempt to bring him down.
Founded and led by Makima, this special unit was composed entirely of herself and the Weapon Devil Hybrids who had once served her and the rest of the Four Horsemen in their war on the Chainsaw Devil. She gathered them anew specifically to finish that fight, even though some, like Katana Man and Reze, had previously stood against her. After the unit's defeat and Makima's death the division dissolved, and a later second iteration was raised from various devils and fiends to take another run at subduing the Chainsaw Devil.
In the Control Devil arc, Makima called up the division to put down Chainsaw Man during his rampage. Most members appeared to act under her control rather than free will, their personalities reduced to a single fixation on dating her, though a few like Barem retained enough awareness to comment on the absurdity. The squad assaulted Chainsaw Man twice and was crushed both times, first as Pochita tore through them one by one, then again at a graveyard. Being immortal hybrids, the members are said to have survived, and once Makima died they shook off her control and reverted to themselves before scattering. The second iteration, six members with five devils or fiends under a lone human leader, appeared during the Aging Devil arc to confront Pochita, only to be dismembered before they could even react, after which Pochita erased the Ear Devil.
The first incarnation was led by Makima and included Katana Man, Reze, Quanxi, Miri Sugo, the unnamed Spear and Whip Hybrids, and Barem Bridge. After disbanding, several joined other factions: four became top members of the Chainsaw Man Church, while Katana Man and Quanxi enlisted with Public Safety, and Reze's whereabouts stayed unknown. The second iteration consisted of an unnamed human leader, the Ear Devil, and four other unnamed members, all of whom were killed.

Look, the origins of this viral showdown trace back to a single tweet that playfully juxtaposed Reze's enigmatic allure against Bakugo's expl...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
