Voiced by: Kikunosuke Toya Wonder Egg Priority Season 2: Confirmed Release Date, News, Cast, Spoilers & Updates When Will Ayumu Make His move Season 2: Confirmed Release Date, News, Cast, Spoilers & Updates A young man with untidy blond hair, bright yellowish-brown eyes with bags underneath, and keen teeth. As a young boy, he inherited his father’s debt from the yakuza upon his father’s death. After encountering the Chainsaw Devil Pochita, he becomes a Devil Hunter in an attempt to clear his debt. The yakuza kill him, and Pochita becomes his heart, creating a contract with Denji, who is to live his aspirations of regular life. After this, he can turn into the devil-human hybrid known as Chainsaw Man by pulling the chord on his chest. After meeting Makima, he becomes a Public Safety Devil Hunter, to live in humane conditions, yet the public regards him as a superhero for his heroic deeds. His principal motivation is his attraction to Makima. Currently, he enrolls in high school while taking care of Nayuta, Makima’s reincarnation.

Makima (マキマ)

Voiced by: Tomori Kusunoki A mystery woman who serves as the head of Public Safety Division 4, and who adopts Denji as a pet. Makima is crafty, shrewd, and manipulative; she controls Denji by exploiting his desire for her with promises of a partnership, while threatening his annihilation if he disobeys. Throughout the most of the narrative, her ambitions and intentions are unclear. She is eventually revealed to be the Control Devil, who epitomizes the dread of dominance, and she intends to utilize the Chainsaw Man, with whom she is infatuated, to create a world devoid of suffering. She is the mastermind behind Denji’s tragedies throughout the series. After being killed by Denji, she is resurrected as a child named Nayuta (ナユタ) and entrusted to his care so that she can be raised to become a better person.

Aki Hayakawa (早川アキ)

Voiced by: Shogo Sakata A Public Safety Devil Hunter was assigned to Makima’s team. In exchange for his life, he has a contract with the Fox Devil and Curse Devil that allows him to conjure the head of the former and use a fatal spike. Later, he makes a deal with the Future Devil that grants him the ability to see a few seconds into the future. When alone, Aki is serious, mature, and dependable, but her heart is sensitive. He begins to care deeply about Denji and Power despite their conflicts. During a battle between Makima and the Gun Devil, he is killed and becomes the Gun Fiend, whom Denji is compelled to slay.

Power (パワー, Pawā)

Voiced by: Fairouz Ai The Blood Fiend and one of Makima’s Public Safety Devil Hunters. As a Fiend, Power resembles a young woman with long hair; she has short red horns emerging from her head. Power enjoys violence and is immature, avaricious, nearly wholly self-motivated, and prepared to damage others for her own pleasure. At one time, Power was willing to sacrifice Denji’s life to save her cat, Meowy. She develops a profound affection for Denji and Aki, her first true companions. Makima murders her in front of Denji to shatter his spirit. As the Blood Devil, power is resurrected from Denji’s blood, but is fatally wounded by Makima once more. Before passing away, Power makes a deal with Denji: in exchange for her blood, Denji must discover the resurrected Blood Devil and transform her back into Power, so that they may once again be friends.

Public Safety Organization

Devil Hunters

Kishibe (岸辺)

Himeno (姫野)

Aki’s first partner. She wears an eyepatch and is partnered with the Ghost Devil, allowing her to use its invisible arm from anywhere. She is killed by Sawatari’s Snake Devil while fighting Katana Man.

Kobeni Higashiyama (東山 コベニ)

A young woman with an unnamed contract, who started work as a Devil hunter under Makima’s experimental squad. Despite her timid and cowardly attitude, she shows amazing speed and reflexes when threatened.

Devils/Fiends

Angel Devil (天使の悪魔)

A humanoid Devil embodying the fear of angels. Appearing as an enigmatic androgynous young man, he holds no particular malice against humans but enjoys seeing them suffer. He is partnered with Aki after Himeno’s death and is regarded as the second-strongest Public Safety agent, but his laziness holds him back.

Beam (ビーム)

The wildly enthusiastic and unstable Shark Fiend, who can “swim” through solid objects and transform into a more monstrous shark-like form. He is partnered with Denji, whom he worships. He later sacrifices himself to revive Denji during the battle with the Darkness Devil in Hell.

Violence Fiend (暴力の魔人)

The friendly and polite Violence Fiend who possesses immense strength and can transform into a more monstrous form when his mask is taken off. He still has most of his human brain and can remember several details about his past life, which is unusual for Fiends.

Private Sector Devil Hunters

Quanxi (クァンシ)

A Chinese devil hunter and one of the assassins sent to take Denji’s heart. She is a lesbian in a polyamorous relationship with four female Fiends. She is a hybrid with a Devil related to crossbows. According to Santa Claus, she is the “first devil hunter”. She is beheaded by Makima, but later revived by her along with Reze and Katana Man to fight the Chainsaw Man.

Santa Claus (サンタ クロース)

One of the assassins sent after Denji. Introduced as an elderly German man, it is revealed later on that Santa Claus is multiple people, the real body being a Russian woman referred to as “master” by her pupil Tolka, who she also turns into a body for her. The master has a contract with the Doll Devil, and has the ability to turn people into dolls under her control, which become part of the Santa Claus hivemind. She enacts a plot to send Denji and several hunters to Hell as sacrifices to the Darkness Devil in exchange for power to kill Makima. She is defeated by an on-fire Denji, and her mind is destroyed by one of Quanxi’s lovers, the Cosmos Fiend.

Hirofumi Yoshida (吉田 ヒロフミ)

A Japanese private sector devil hunter/bodyguard hired to protect Denji while the international assassins hunt for Chainsaw Man, he has a contract with the Octopus Devil. He later turns up attending Denji and Asa’s high school, and is drawn into Asa’s team for the Devil Hunter Club.

Devils and hybrids

Pochita (ポチタ)

The Chainsaw Devil who merged with Denji, and was originally the Chainsaw Man himself prior to meeting Denji. He has the ability to eat a devil and erase their existence, making him “the Devil that Devils fear most”. He first appears in his dog form, actually a weakened state after a fight with mysterious opponents. His true devil form is a large, darker version of Denji’s hybrid form with four arms.

Katana Man/Samurai Sword (サムライソード)

The grandson of the yakuza boss who had Denji and Pochita killed, and a supposed agent of the Gun Devil. Like Denji, he is a human-devil hybrid with the heart of the Katana Devil, able to transform into his hybrid form by removing his hand. His real name is unknown, and his handler is Akane Sawatari, a former Public Safety hunter.

Reze (レゼ)

A girl with a crush on Denji who works at a café. She is later revealed to be a hybrid with the Bomb Devil, able to transform by pulling a grenade pin on her neck, and a Soviet spy sent to kill Denji. On her way to seemingly escape with Denji after their fight, she is captured by the Angel Devil under control of Makima.

Gun Devil (銃の悪魔)

One of the most powerful and feared Devils in the world. Thirteen years before the series’ events, the Gun Devil manifested after a terrorist attack, and attacked the world, killing 1.2 million people in under five minutes before vanishing. It was later defeated and scattered into pieces by an unknown entity, and the governments of several countries have gathered these remains to form contracts with it. The president of the United States summons it to kill Makima. Makima defeats it, but it possesses Aki’s body, turning into the Gun Fiend. It later dies at the hand of Denji.

Darkness Devil (闇の悪魔)

An unfathomably powerful Devil representing the primal fear of darkness, residing in Hell.

Yoru (ヨル) / War Devil (戦争の悪魔)

A powerful Devil who represents the primal fear of war and a member of the Four Horsemen, it has the ability turn the body parts of anyone that “belongs” to the user into weapons. Right before Asa Mitaka’s death, it possessed her body (though it preserves her mind and identity) as part of its plan to force Chainsaw Man to restore the nuclear weapons he erased.

What are Chainsaw Man’s Powers and Abilities?

Even without transforming into the ferocious Chainsaw Man, Denji is a strong hand-to-hand combatant, and his skills continue to develop throughout the series as he obtains proper instruction. His supernatural pet becomes his heart as a result of his resurrection bargain with his Chainsaw Devil-dog Pochita. In exchange for the opportunity to live a “normal life,” he is converted into a human-demon hybrid, which doesn’t quite go according to Denji’s wishes. Denji’s arms, legs, and head change into retractable, devil-slicing chainsaws upon transformation. Additionally, he can produce short chainsaw spikes beneath his feet, which he uses to adhere to walls and scale structures. As the Chainsaw Man, Denji’s speed, strength, durability, and stamina are boosted. If he swallows blood, he may even recover from amputation and even decapitation. The Chainsaw Man is a ruthless force, yet Denji, in his human form, is not the most intelligent main character. However, his straightforward ambitions and motivations make him one of the most fascinating and distinctive shonen protagonists to root for.
