i think it would be better if nostradamus' prophecy wasn't strictly speaking "real" in chainsaw man, but everybody acting in accordance to it ensured it happened out of a form of twisted unwitting accelerationism.

I know something weird is going to swerve us because nothing is ever that simple in this series (look at Gun Devil) but this is one of the few theories that feels like something Fujimoto would actually do
i see an aspect of it being real, in that the Apocalypse Sisters manifest from some 'law of reality'... however what the apocalypse actually entails not actually directly coming from them.
and thus far, the most apocalyptic force is Pochita. who can bend the rules of reality itself...
It be even cooler if nostradamus prophecy and so, the death devil, became a real unstoppable thing because of the fear the general public has gotten from it because of propaganda and misinformation. The fear around it maybe happening making it real would make it a tad bit more ironic.
This is the direction it feels like it's going. That the desperate attempt to create a force strong enough to defeat it, is what's bringing it to fruition.
