Denji massacres the yakuza, and is approached by a team of governmental Devil Hunters, the Public Safety Division, led by Makima, who convinces him to join their ranks. Charmed by her kindness and looks, Denji joins Public Safety and is partnered with Power, the Blood Fiend, and Aki Hayakawa, a self-destructive Devil Hunter. Makima promises Denji any favor, provided he kill the Gun Devil, perpetrator of the greatest massacre in human history. Several missions later, Denji's group encounters another hybrid, Samurai Sword, a vengeful yakuza seemingly allied with the Gun Devil, who attacks the Division. Makima and devil hunter Kobeni Higashiyama managed to survive the ambush, but the Division lost many members in the attack, including Himeno, Aki's partner. In order to match them, Denji and Power are trained by Kishibe, a master Devil-hunter who distrusts Makima and Aki makes a contract with the Future Devil, who foresees a "horrible death" for him. The Division launches a counter-attack against Samurai Sword, capturing him. Some time later, Denji meets and begins a romance with a teenage girl named Reze, who is actually the Bomb Devil and a Hybrid spy for the Soviet Union, sent to take the heart of the Chainsaw Devil.

While the brothers are quickly dealt with and Quanxi initially stalling to spend time with her harem of fiends, Santa Claus uses their Doll Devil powers for a large horde attack. After a follow-up by Quanxi, Tolka's master reveals herself as "Santa Claus", and has all parties transported to Hell, where they are attacked and overpowered by the Darkness Devil, one of the Primal Devils. Santa Claus makes a contract with the Darkness Devil that gives her a portion of its power. Makima retrieves the group from Hell, and Quanxi (who is also revealed to be a hybrid) helps Denji defeat Santa Claus; Makima then cuts off the heads of Quanxi and the remaining members of her harem afterwards. Following the incident, several devil hunters resigns, including Kobeni. After Denji recovers, Makima reveals the Gun Devil is actually a geopolitical asset, with many factions controlling pieces of it. As Aki begs Makima for the safety of Power and Denji, the president of the United States orders the Gun Devil to attack Japan and kill Makima.

Denji and Power are then attacked by the Gun Fiend, and helped by civilians, kills it with Aki's life. Aki's death devastates him. While seemingly consoling him, Makima brutally kills Power, revealing herself responsible for Denji's losses, having plotted to void his contract with Pochita by crushing his dreams of a normal life.

Invigorated by public support for him, Denji confronts Makima for one last time and defeats her using Power's blood; to bypass her immortality, he cooks and eats her body. Later, Kishibe reveals the Control Devil resurfaced in the form of a little girl, now named Nayuta. He asks Denji to look after her, and Pochita supports this mission in Denji's dreams.
