Chainsaw Man tells the story of a young lad named Denji living in a world of devils and demons. All his life he’s had hard knocks. His Father died when Denji was just a boy, and left him only a huge debt, a debt that Denji has been trying to pay off for years. As far as skills go, Denji doesn’t have much, and with the huge monthly payments over his head, spends his scraping by...
He does have one companion, however, a cute miniature demon named Pochita, a creature resembling a cross between a red bulldog and a chainsaw, complete with cord tail, handle butt, and chainsaw blade head! Though stand-offish at first, Denji heals him and they become best friends!
The chainsaw blades of Pochita help out when there is woodwork to be done..as well as for what will ultimately become hisMAIN job- hunting down and KILLING DEMONS!
The carcasses of the demons are traded for cash, which barely manage to cover eating expenses, much less other things in life, but Denji is hopeful that they will someday succeed! Unfortunately, the naive and easygoing Denji is betrayed by the corrupt men he works for, and is attacked by zombie monsters and left for dead.
It’s only when his blood is consumed by Pochita and their bodies merge is Denji reverted back to life- but as a whole new being-A half human, half demon HYBRID- with sharp, roaring chainsaws jutting out of his arms and head! With this new power bestowed upon him, he slices and dices, making QUICK work of the zombified enemies around him!!!
After the mayhem, it’s here he meets the people whom will soon become his business partners: the people of the Public Safety Division, whose job is to hunt down demons! Seeing his handiwork, he is offered a job and a place to belong! And so the story begins....
Apparently the original manga that this anime was based on was a rip-roaring success and the series has been long awaited by fans- for myself, I’d only heard about it when the same anime channels that I watch for SPYxFAMILY began buzzing about Chainsaw Man as well that I decided to check it out- So far, a very intriguing show!!!
