Chainsaw Man

CHAINSAW MAN

Denji is a poverty-stricken teen working off his dead father's debt to the yakuza by hunting devils with his chainsaw devil companion Pochita. When the yakuza betray and kill him, Pochita merges with his heart — resurrecting Denji as Chainsaw Man, a human-devil hybrid who can sprout roaring chainsaws from his body.

Denji joins Public Safety Division 4 under the ruthless devil hunter Makima, who promises him a normal life in exchange for his obedience. He meets his hard-drinking partner Power and the stoic Aki Hayakawa, and gets his first taste of what it means to have dreams — food, a roof, and something to fight for.

Division 4 takes on increasingly dangerous devil contracts. Denji, Power, and Aki train together and begin functioning as an unlikely team. Denji's simple desires — touch a girl's chest, eat good food — clash hilariously with the life-or-death reality of devil hunting.

The Bat Devil and Leech Devil arc reaches its chaotic conclusion with Denji and Power's wild teamwork. The Eternity Devil arc begins as the entire group becomes trapped in an endlessly looping hotel floor — with no way out and a devil that feeds on their despair.

Trapped in the Eternity Devil's loop, Denji drinks the devil's blood in a brutal war of attrition that lasts three days straight. His victory cements his reputation inside Public Safety. Meanwhile, Aki's contract with the Fox Devil reveals its limits.

The Katana Man arc begins. A hitman with a katana blade emerging from his body attacks Division 4, and Aki is left critically wounded. Denji and Power are killed — and resurrected — in a brutal ambush that kills most of their division.

Denji trains intensively under the gun-wielding devil hunter Kishibe to prepare for revenge. The depth of Makima's manipulative control over Denji is steadily revealed. The Shadow Devil and Snake Devil show the terrifying variety of enemies Public Safety faces.

Division 4 strikes back against the Katana Man and the organization behind the ambush. Denji and Katana Man's rematch is savage and personal. The arc concludes with a brutal message about what Public Safety is willing to do to protect its agents.

The Bomb Girl arc begins as Denji is dragged into a date with Reze — a mysterious girl who turns out to be a Bomb Devil hybrid assassin sent to steal his heart. Their relationship is tender, dangerous, and doomed from the start.

Reze reveals her true nature in an explosion of violence. Denji's feelings for her are genuine, making the fight between them genuinely heartbreaking. International devil hunter assassins converge on Japan, all targeting Chainsaw Man's heart.

The International Assassins arc reaches its peak as the most dangerous devil hunters from around the world clash in Japan. Santa Claus, Quanxi, and the doll army bring unprecedented scale to the chaos. Denji fights for survival amid betrayal and tragedy.

The Gun Devil arc concludes as the origin and horror of the Gun Devil — the creature responsible for the deaths of Aki's family — is fully revealed. The final pieces of Makima's true plan begin clicking into place.

Makima's true identity and agenda are revealed in a shattering twist. She is the Control Devil — a devil who has been pulling every string from the beginning. Division 4's warmth is brutally dismantled as Aki and Power are killed before Denji's eyes.

Denji is broken. Makima has taken everything from him. In his grief and rage, Denji faces Makima in a final battle — not as a hero or a weapon, but as himself: a simple person who loved his friends. The conclusion to Part 1 redefines what the series is about.

Chainsaw Man Part 2 begins. A new protagonist, Asa Mitaka, navigates high school life — and is killed and resurrected by the War Devil Yoru, who takes partial control of her body. The Chainsaw Man Church has emerged as a religious movement worshipping Denji.

Asa struggles to coexist with Yoru while attending school and trying to live a normal life. She joins the Devil Hunters Club and meets a strange, charismatic boy who may be Chainsaw Man himself — unaware he is Denji living incognito.

Denji and Asa's awkward, strange relationship develops as Yoru schemes to use Asa's bonds to forge weapons against Chainsaw Man. The Justice Devil attacks the school, turning classmates into weapons in a horrifying display of its power.

Asa and Denji are trapped together inside the Aquarium Devil's body. Isolated and unable to escape, they are forced to genuinely talk to each other — and something honest begins to form between the War Devil's host and Chainsaw Man.

The escalating conflict between the War Devil's agenda and Asa's desire for a real life reaches a crisis point. Fami — the Famine Devil — reveals a larger game being played between the Horseman Devils, and the threat of a second apocalypse looms.
