Chainsaw Man

Learn the differences between devils, fiends, and devil hybrids in the new Chainsaw Man anime and manga with detailed descriptions.

Together, they form the Chainsaw Man, which is easily the strongest devil hybrid in the manga series. Denji, our protagonist, is a devil hybrid between himself and the chainsaw devil named Pochita. Even the ability to turn into their devil form only lasts temporarily for the fiends in Chainsaw Man. Instead, she is the control devil who has a human like apperance. Usually, this leads to the elimination of all consciousness of the human part, but at times, shared control of the body is also possible. As the name suggests, hybrids are a result of a merger between humans and devils. The most reliable way to kill hybrid devils is to remove all the devil elements from their bodies. For example, the fox devil embodies the fear of foxes and has a strong jaw and sharp claws. We have compiled this guide to help explain the differences between devils, fiends, and devil hybrids in the Chainsaw Man anime. But if they die in the human world, they are reborn in hell. In the world of Chainsaw Man, devils are supernatural creatures that are born in hell and prey on human fears. Chainsaw Man presents us with one of the most interesting worlds that we have seen in mangas or animes lately.

MAPPA's adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's action shonen is revving up to be something fun.

Because the rest of the show is in 2D, a CG Chainsaw Man that’s also operating on a different framerate from the rest of the 2D world looks out of place, particularly when he’s in minimal motion. After determining that he’s a human/Devil hybrid, Makima gives him the choice to join her in hunting other Devils or die, and he easily accepts. After initial bits of stumbling as he gets used to the extra weight that comes with his new form, Denji starts moving around the battlefield like a bloody force of nature. Whatever MAPPA does with the debut season of their first series, Chainsaw Man’s already carved out an impressive, bloody niche for itself. He’s a good boy, yes, but the show doesn’t go out of its way to make him anything more than a dog that just happens to have a chainsaw for a face. It’s a shame, then, that the CG used to bring Chainsaw Man to life (and used earlier throughout the episode) can sometimes feel out of place. But in the same way that the show is blunt when it comes to its protagonist’s debt, Chainsaw Man doesn’t try too hard in regards to Pochita. Chainsaw Man starts out with a slower, almost melancholic mood rather than the often playful (but no less melancholic) vibes that Jujutsu has successfully operated with over the course of a You’ll find the call quality is enhanced as the four built-in microphones are used to suppress any ambient noise and amplify your voice those on your call only hear what you intend for them to hear. Aided by a dog-Devil with a chainsaw on his head named Pochita, the two have spent years gradually chipping away at Denji’s debt while the teen continues to live in poverty and long for a better life. Colors are muted for much of the episode’s runtime, as if to mirror Denji’s exhaustion and hopelessness, but they bloom towards the end during two key conversations between him and Pochita.

Chainsaw Man is an anime series based on the manga collection of the same name. It is available to watch in the UK with a Crunchyroll subscription.

Creators have not yet confirmed if there will be a second season of Chainsaw Man, but it is likely, especially if the first season gains a strong fan response. Chainsaw Man will land in the UK on Crunchyroll at 5pm on Tuesday 11 October. Cruncyroll is a streaming service for anime content that is available to UK subscribers. [Japanese](https://www.nationalworld.com/news/world/shinzo-abe-shot-prime-minister-japan-3760837) [anime](/topic/anime) fantasy series Chainsaw Man follows a young man who takes on the powers to transform parts of himself into chainsaws, and uses his strange ability to kill devils. Denji is betrayed and left for dead, but is reborn as a super-powerful devil-human hybrid after making a deal with his pet devil, who takes the form of a dog. Denji fuses with his pet and gains the ability to transform parts of himself into chainsaws.

Chainsaw Man is the most violent new anime of the season, but rich lore and a confidence in its mysteries makes for a strong start.

It definitely feels as if these violent battles will be what audiences most talk about in Chainsaw Man, but thankfully that’s not all that the show has to offer. It relishes and glorifies grisly moments that the manga otherwise dwells on with a certain passivity. This premiere hammers in the dark nature of this world, but it’s not completely void of levity and silliness. This is hardly a fresh anime trope, but hopefully Chainsaw Man manages to avoid the same pitfalls that held back these at-one-point similar seinen series. This first episode looks gorgeous, but there’s equally impressive sound design, especially when it comes to the vicious massacre in the final act when Denji’s Chainsaw Man form first reveals itself. This excess can function at the series’ surface level, but it’s also led to a trend where stylized expressions of magic, energy, or even violence can become powerful metaphors for the internal problems that consume us all.

We break down the climactic fight scene in the first episode of Chainsaw Man, the new supernatural horror action anime from studio MAPPA based on Tatsuki ...

One of the standout shots of the entire fight, and one which can be briefly glimpsed in the third trailer for the series, is when the Zombie Devil, in a fit of pain-induced desperation, grabs Chainsaw Man with one of his entrail tentacles to fling him across the room and smash into a nearby concert support beam. It’s not until the last third of the episode, after Denji is betrayed by his yakuza employers in exchange for a contract with the so-called Zombie Devil promising power, that we get to see Denji fully cut loose to rip and tear into action. After a momentary pause, Denji wastes no time leaping into action, darting past the Zombie Devil’s defensive line of droning masses and propelling himself forward to pierce the Devil’s skull with his head-mounted chainsaw and arm blades. From start to finish, the climax of Chainsaw Man’s debut episode is an exemplary feat of craftsmanship made possible only through solid production and careful planning that enables these artists and animators to do what they do best — make dope shit. From Hiroyuki Okiura and Mitsuo Iso’s work on the blistering shootout between Motoko Kusanagi and the spider-tank in The exact origin of Devils is unknown, though what is known is that these monsters are manifestations of negative feelings and emotions shared across the collective human subconscious, similar to the phenomenon of “Curses” in Jujutsu Kaisen.
