This anime can be said to have a storyline that is quite complicated but fun to follow, there are even quite a lot of sadistic scenes but it is still acceptable and fun to watch.

The Dunia Games team will discuss some facts about Chainsaw Man, including the synopsis and characters that appear in the anime. Let's see in more detail.

Chainsaw Man Synopsis

Chainsaw Man is set in a world where many demons manifest from the fear of humans. The story itself will focus on a young boy named Denji who has to pay off a large debt left by his father who died long ago. With no money left, Denji must become a scrappy demon hunter with the help of his demon dog friend, Pochita.

Unfortunately Denji was killed at work, but luckily Pochita made a contract with Denji to become his new heart. As a result they became a human-demon hybrid named Chainsaw Man. Even though he managed to live, Denji had to become Makima's pet in carrying out his duties as a Devil Hunter. Like it or not, Denji has no choice but to join.

Interesting Facts about Chainsaw Man

1. Time Setting in 1977

The time setting in this anime is in 1997, that's because Tatsuki Fujimoto changed the direction of history in the manga, where the Soviet Union still exists, but events such as the Holocaust, AIDS, and the manufacture of nuclear weapons no longer exist. So that way no war happened after the first world war because the devil's power had weakened.

2. The Manga Just Entered Part 2

For the manga itself, this anime just entered Part 2 last July, which started with chapter 98. Of course it was a long wait, because the first volume of Chainsaw Man was released in December 2018, after that the series went on for 10 more volumes until December 2020.

3. Anime Adaptation Created by MAPPA Studio

This anime adaptation itself was made by Studio Mappa, a studio known for the quality of their action animation with a number of hits they have released, such as Jujutsu Kaisen, Dorohedoro, and Kakegurui, until they took over Attack on Titan from Wit Studio.

4. Aki Hayakawa Rarely Smiles

Aki Hayakawa is a member of the demon hunters who takes his job seriously, that's because of his very dark past. Considering his bleak past, those of you who want to watch Chainsaw Man can pay attention and calculate that he barely seems to smile, even in the manga only 5 times.

5. Often Compared to Jujutsu Kaisen

Because they both have the dark fantasy genre, Chainsaw Man is often compared to the Jujutsu Kaisen. That's not surprising because both of them are located in the supernatural world, use the same weapons and battle concepts, but there are still some fundamental differences.

6. Not Your Average Shounen Trope

This series by Fujimoto actually succeeded in changing the usual shounen trope in the manga series. Unlike most shounen anime where the companion fights alongside the protagonist, Denji's demon companion is often seen in his dangerous demon form. That's because Chainsaw Man doesn't follow the usual shounen tropes.

7. Has Many Fans, Even Before It Aired

Chainsaw Man is Fujimoto Tatsuki's first work to receive an anime adaptation. Interestingly, before this anime was actually released, there were already a lot of fans and enthusiasm to watch it. Of course, that has a reason, because the manga already has a lot of fans.

8. Brutal Scenes

Maybe in the manga it doesn't look so brutal, but in the anime it will definitely look more brutal because the visuals will be made realistically. So, those of you who have problems seeing blood or organs, it looks like you will feel uncomfortable watching it.

9. Denji Has Appeared in My Hero Academia Manga

Chainsaw Man and My Hero Academia are 2 different manga and anime. But interestingly, Denji instead appears in chapter 259 titled "Just Started" which was released on February 3rd 2022. Denji also appears and is seen as a member of the paranormal extermination font raid team.

10. Full of Plot Twist

In the manga, the Chainsaw Man storyline, which turns out to be light and realistic, is still considered difficult to predict in each story and in the end. Even though this anime belongs to the Shounen genre, the characters in Chainsaw Man will experience various unexpected problems and bad luck.

11. Lots of Adult Scenes

Even though it doesn't really show anything that is very perverted, there are many scenes in this anime that are classified as inappropriate for minors. Like the scenes of Denji and Himeno, Power, Makima, and so on.

12. Stylist Characters

Denji and his friends have jobs as Devil Hunters, but interestingly they don't even look like Devil Hunters. Just like today's teenagers, the characters in this anime are full of attractive styles, complete with their suits.

13. Kobeni Dance

In chapter 86, Pochita or the Chainsaw Man brings Kobeni in a "dance-dance mushroom" machine and orders him to dance. Out of fear, Kobeni did it with a strange movement. In fact, in an interview, Fujimoto explained that this scene was made to lighten the mood of the readers after a long dark story.

14. The Manga Gets Many Awards

As its popularity rose, the manga also won several awards in various categories. Such as awards for best manga, best drawing, and best action. But what's interesting is that in 2020, Chainsaw Man has been named the manga with the most deaths.

15. Inspired by an American Horror Movie

From the title alone there are similarities, especially also in the characters who both involve chainsaws. This inspiration was even stated by Fujimoto, where he admitted that Chainsaw Man was inspired by the events that occurred at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So that way, the genre, design, and so on look almost the same.

Chainsaw Man Characters

The main character of the series is obviously Denji, who can then transform into Chainsaw Man. Then there is Makima, a member of the Devil Hunter who plays an important role in Denji's life, that's because she's the one who offered him a job. Denji is not alone either, he is assigned to partner with a man named Aki, where he has the power of his contract with a devil.

Then, there is the demonic woman named Power, a Blood Enemy, which means her body was taken over by the Devils in order to survive. Power is also a member of Aki's squad. The three of them make a great team and act like family. Not only the three of them, actually there are also other strong characters, such as Himeno, Kobeni, Kishibe, and so on.

Seeing how enthusiastic many fans are and the success of the manga who want to get part 2, you can watch the anime titled Chainsaw Man, which is still in season 1, until the last episode.
