Chainsaw Man's Season Finale Brings in Major Manga Character

Well Denji fans, the time has come to say goodbye to Chainsaw Man's anime adaptation for now, as episode twelve brings season one of MAPPA's production to a close. With the latest installment focusing mostly on the fight against the Katana Man, the final moments of the episode drop a major hint at the future of Denji's life with a brief character introduction that will shake the very foundation of the Earth for the devil hunters. Season Two has yet to be confirmed though this hint might make it an easy bet that the Chainsaw Devil will return.         

When last we left Chainsaw Man's anime, Aki was struggling against a familiar threat, as the Ghost Devil was being wielded by the young girl who was backing Katana Man and used the Snake Devil to swallow the creepy apparition whole. With the villain being subdued, MAPPA used a large percentage of the episode to focus on Denji proceeding to enter a bloody battle with the dark reflection of himself. Hilariously, the installment ends with a hilarious competition between Denji and Aki that helps illustrate that despite Chainsaw Man's blood and guts that are present throughout the series, it has the ability to turn on a dime and give viewers some of the most hilarious moments of 2022's anime roster.

Chainsaw Man Dropped The Bomb

The character in question that was hinted at in the final moments of Chainsaw Man's first season finale is Reze, a young girl who seems to have affection toward Denji, and without going too deeply into spoiler territory for a potential season two, will play a major role in the future events of the anime adaptation.

While MAPPA has been tight-lipped when it comes to Chainsaw Man's anime returning, it's a surefire bet that Denji and his Devil Hunters will make a comeback, considering both its popularity and the sheer amount of material that is yet to be translated from the manga. Rest assured, if you thought the events that took place in Chainsaw Man's first season were wild, you haven't seen anything yet as some big bloody battles await the young boy who was fused with the Chainsaw Devil.
