| Have in the ugliest pair of chunky dripless sneakers you can find?? What sense does that make? Like if they were just some plain forces or adidas or Jordan’s that’d be cool. But they look like 1995 reeboks. Cmon now |

Cmon now 1) Don’t assume it’s set in present day 2) Devil Hunters need to walk around all day and do lots of physically strenuous activities so they wear casual shoes. |

not everything in history looks cool man look at kobenis car ..... |
it's actually the best looking character design in csm wdym |
| When it comes to writing usually writers don't actually care about what the characters have to wear or if it correct or not for the job they are doing. Most of the time it's just to show characteristics of the person. In this situation I would guess they are wearing suits to show the seriousness of their position in the government. Personally I would say it's stupid because more likely the writer is just mimicking another show or a classic movie like Pulp Fiction or The X-Files due to lack of imagination as shown in the opening.   |

| The drip is actually inspired from Reservoir Dogs and the sneakers are also from the 90's |
 |
| I would rather complain the other way around, why are they wearing those tailored looking suits when their job is killing? |
Ionliosite2 said: Valid Criticism.I would rather complain the other way around, why are they wearing those tailored looking suits when their job is killing? Chainsaw Man doesn't have realistic clothing, it's simply a rule of cool. They're inspired by Reservoir Dogs & Pulp Fiction. If you see the character illustrations, they all wear different shoes. |

Like if you are in the process of killing very powerful supernatural beings you would want to have plenty of armor and be capable of quick and intense mobility. They are dressed like they are going to a funeral which makes zero sense. Function and style and go hand in hand: in Demon Slayer it makes sense to be wearing loose fitting clothing capable of very wide stances and swipes of the limbs. Yes, in the end it is stupid to think one would be dressed up in such a way to fight demons but on the surface the illogical nature of it doesn’t translate because the outfits are so cool and “make sense” when you don’t question it, and even when you do it’s not as bad as wearing a suit and tie with slacks lol. Have you people never seen Men in Black? It's literally the same thing. People wearing black suits while fighting monsters. It's very much likely that Fujimoto took the Devil Hunter uniforms from there. It's just a homage to older western movies like Men in Black, Reservoir Dogs, etc. People will find anything to criticize nowadays.  |

I mean, except for Denji and Power (who are known to be part of an experimental group due to their conditions), the devil hunters are not actually supposed to be in close range battle with devils because they have their devil contracts that do their work for them. The clothes are probably to appeal to the public's eye. |

Gawdly said: what? I'm gonna need proof. Don't lie to me mane. Can someone tell him chainsaw man takes place in 90’s edit. I got proof. You're correct. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| Well chainsaw man takes place in 1997 so there’s your answer why they look like 1995 reeboks |

I know, I'm saying that his complain is barely valid if not valid at all. And I would have the same question about those movies either way, so. And before youn answer me to as why, I know it is because of Rule of Cool. |

| Dude wearing formal shoes while walking/running is such a hassle ong. There are more chances of slipping not to mention the feet feels more pain while in them for a long amount of time. So the running shoes are actually suitable for them as y'know they are good for running |

Okay. |

The clothes are probably to appeal to the public's eye. I don’t understand why they would need to look good for the public, I mean that is like police wearing suits and ties just to look nice for the public, it is illogical to jeopardize performance to appease perception. Also it is foolish to believe that just because you have a devil contract doesn’t mean you won’t need to be able to move quickly to avoid danger and pursue the enemy. I agree, but still that is probably the mindset behind it. It's still evident that the devil hunters usually don't make contact with devils themselves but use their contracts for it. Again, a shit ton of them die anyway, and perhaps their chances would have been better with the proper gear. |
WilfredJohnson said: Exactly! Dudes acting like The 90s was 70 years ago lol. Most popular shoes from today are probably some 90s type of inspired. Yet in csm they have the ugliest ever Fr like I know damn well they had Jordan’s in 1997 yet they have the most dripless munted looking shoes |
