Gun Devil

The Gun Devil (銃の悪魔, Jū no akuma) is a very powerful devil who embodies the fear of guns.

Appearance
When summoned by the President of the United States, the Gun Devil's body resembles a monstrous humanoid figure with multiple building-sized rifles for arms, a roughly skeletal body crammed full of disembodied screaming heads, and an oversized gun barrel emerging from its skull-like face.

The main parts of both its arms appear to be M4 Carbines, with other well-known assault rifles in its arms well. These include: the AK-47, the M16A1, and the Mk18 assault rifle. Both arms appear to wield the same rifles. The Gun Devil's head appears to be the slide and barrel of a large M1911 missing the hammer. Any firearms attached to its back are unidentifiable.

Personality
The Gun Devil's personality is currently unknown.

History
Thirteen years before the present day, the whole world tried to cash in on guns as a countermeasure against devils. This led to an increase in gun use during crimes and civil revolts. Due to heavy media coverage of gun crimes in every country, worldwide fear of guns has increased drastically.

On November 18 a large terrorist attack involving guns occurred in America, causing that to be the day that the Gun Devil first appeared. The Gun Devil hit Japan for 26 seconds, killing 57,912 people. Aki Hayakawa witnessed the Gun Devil destroying his house and killing his family as it passed by. It hit several countries around the world in succession eventually leading a death toll of 1.2 million lives in only five minutes. Aldo, Joey and their brother survived the Gun Devil's attack but lost their home along with their father, mother and grandmother. This would one of the events in their lifes that would lead them to believe that they're immortal.

After that the Gun Devil disappeared but its impact on human society led to an overall increase in fear in all devils. An international law has been prepared to strictly control the manufacturing of arms in every country to lower the fear of guns.

At some point of time, the Gun Devil has been taken down by someone unknown and he was found by the Soviet Union while he was in an unconscious state. His body is seperated into several pieces and held by countries and devils.

As he finishes up, he tells Denji that the Gun Devil wants his heart and opens fire, wounding Denji, Aki and Himeno. Simultaneously most of the members of the Special Divisions elsewhere are assassinated.

After learning from Madoka that most of the humans in Special Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been killed in coordinated gun attacks, Makima states that it is likely the Gun Devil is involved.

The President of the United States contracts with the Gun Devil to kill Makima in exchange for one year lifespan of every citizen of the United States. On September 12, 1997 the Gun Devil hits the city of Nikaho in Akita Prefecture, Japan from off the coast for 12 seconds. Immediately upon his appearance, he activates his ability to fire bullets. The Gun Devil advances toward Makima while killing the people and destroying the cities he passes. He is sighted by Makima at a distance of 500 kilometers. The Gun Devil stops and he begins gunfire towards Makima. Makima activates her ability before she is shot by one of the bullets. He kills Aki and Makima. It is recorded that it is Makima's 29th death. To counter it, Makima activates her ability to use the contracts of Aki Hayakawa, Tendo, Yutaro Kurose and Akane Sawatari and the abilities of Spider Devil and Angel Devil.

However, Makima "failed" to defeat the Gun Devil. His remnants possessed the corpse of Aki Hayakawa and they become a Gun Fiend. Swiftly, the fiend moves towards Aki's residence, and arrives with a knock at the door. Denji, after being told to by Makima, opens it, and after a few short seconds, is shot in the stomach by the Gun Fiend. This attack destroys a large amount of Aki's residence, and sends Denji and Power flying through the air in the direction of the attack. The Gun Fiends then engages in combat with Denji, destroying large parts of the surrounding residential area. Denji, after receiving blood and pleads from the residents of the area, then overpowers the Gun Fiend, defeating and killing it.
