What is a Chainsaw Man?
Chainsaw Man” is based on the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
A total of 13 episodes were broadcast and produced by MAPPA.
This is a world where beings called “demons” pervade everyday life. In order to repay his dead father’s debt, a young boy named Denji, along with Pochita, a “chainsaw demon,” makes a living as a “devil hunter” exterminating demons. However, the debt did not decrease, and his wish for a normal, everyday life did not come true.
One day, Denji was tricked by a yakuza who was offering him a job, and was murdered by a “zombie devil,” but he was revived when Pochita became his heart. Denji gains the power to transform into a “chainsaw demon,” wipes out a group of zombies, and is guided and controlled by Makima, a public security devil hunter who rushes to the scene.
Denji moves to the Public Security Bureau headquarters in Tokyo, and under orders from Makima, he moves in with his senior, Aki Hayakawa, and “Blood Fiend” Power, who was selected as Denji‘s buddy. The Public Security Bureau has a mission to defeat the “gun demon” that once killed just under 1.2 million people in five minutes, and Denji and his friends battle a variety of enemies. Denji‘s fight for the people in spite of his status as a demon is a topic of conversation, and he is gradually regarded as a hero.
