We learned back at the end of December 2020 that the Chainsaw Man manga was coming to an end, but that was mostly just to prepare it for the second part that was getting underway not long after on the Shonen Jump+ app. The show saw an October 11th, 2022, premiere and in December 2023 revealed that it was getting an anime feature film that adapted the Reze Arc.
The Japanese theatrical release saw a September 19th, 2025, date, and it arrived on October 29th, 2025, in the US as part of the film’s rollout in over eighty countries. We then learned at Jump Festa 2026 that the Assassins Arc of the manga is going to get an anime adaptation.
MAPPA brought out a visual for its 15th anniversary earlier this week, and with a new livestream event today, dropped a new promo for the season that is still undated. The season has Tatsuya Yoshihara directing it from the scripts overseen by Hiroshi Seko. Kazutaka Sugiyama is on board for the character designs, and MAPPA on the animation production.
The main cast includes Kikunosuke Toya as Denji, Tomori Kusunoki as Makima, Shogo Sakata as Aki Hayakawa, Fairouz Ai as Power, Shiori Izawa as Pochita, Mariya Ise as Himeno, Karin Takahashi as Kobeni Higashiyama, Taku Yashiro as Hirokazu Arai, and Kenjiro Tsuda as Kishibe. Additional cast includes Maaya Uchida as Angel Devil, Natsuki Hanae as Shark Fiend, Yuya Uchida as Violence Fiend, Saori Goto as Spider Devil, Yō Taichi as Akane Sawatari, and Daiki Hamano as Samurai Sword.

Plot Concept: Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil-dog Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!
