The hype surrounding the new series is real, and the culmination of a long effort to popularize anime and manga in the U.S..

The acquisition of the Chainsaw Man anime is a coup for MAPPA and Crunchyroll. The anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man arrives not long after the manga series returned from hiatus and began its second story arc. Chainsaw Man is the culmination of a long effort to popularize anime and manga in the U.S. Nine years ago, Crunchyroll and Hulu premiered Attack on Titan in the U.S., and that turned out to be the biggest anime series of the past decade. The series premiere is a panel-for-panel adaptation of the first chapter of the manga. The yakuza forge a new partnership with a devil and leave Denji for dead in a dumpster at the scene of a massive ambush. Netflix licenses and produces a lot of popular anime, and its high-profile launches in recent years led many fans to assume Chainsaw Man would premiere on Netflix in the U.S. The first episode of Chainsaw Man, as in the first chapter of the manga, follows a scruffy young man named Denji as he wanders the countryside with his strange puppy, Pochita, a “dog” that’s really a devil with a chain saw protruding from his forehead, and a pull cord for a tail. In the meantime, Denji and Pochita chop trees, hunt other devils—who have migrated to Earth using the power of human fears—and sell Denji’s expendable organs to make a living. Now, Denji and Pochita live together in a darkened shack, subsisting on scraps of white bread; Denji dreams of the day they’ll afford to eat bread with jam. The Chainsaw Man anime is part of the subculture’s broader success story of the past decade: a resurgence of big-budget action anime (after a drought that began in the last 2000s and ran through the early 2010s) and an explosion in international manga readership. In December 2018, the manga artist Tatsuki Fujimoto published the first chapter of Chainsaw Man, a modern twist on the figurative deal with the devil, in Japan’s Weekly Shonen Jump.

However, this is a far cry from reality as the yakuza force Denji into killing devils to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he ...

Episode 1 saw the origin story of Chainsaw Man as he is going to be known to the world. Denji is then ultimately betrayed by the Yakuza and chopped to pieces, but through the power of love and friendship, he is able to recover and strike back with the help of his Devil friend, Pochita. The episode will probably be much more lighthearted than the first one, which was quite heavy in nature. The anime will stream from October 11 2022, on Netflix and is expected to run for three months. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Pochita merges with Denji’s dead body and grants him the powers of a chainsaw devil. Unfortunately, he has outlived his usefulness and is murdered by a devil in contract with the Yakuza.

Here's a complete list of all movie references we spotted in the Chainsaw Man Opening, and we will update it weekly with each new episode.

Chainsaw Man doesn’t shy away from gore content, and with this scene in the opening, it seems like the anime even celebrates it. Chainsaw Man opens with the attack of a tomato devil, which opens up the possibility for a direct reference to the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. The closest replica of such behavior in the real world is shown by the Leucochloridium Parasite, which gets a brief reference in the CSM opening. Each of these holes is cleverly shaped in the initials of the anime series — C, S, and M. If you are an MCU fan, then this movie reference would be the easiest to spot in the Chainsaw Man opening. While most movie references in Chainsaw Man’s opening were direct and complete recreation of the scenes, there were some subtle ones too. Continuing the celebration of classic horror movies, the Chainsaw Man opening scene uses an angel devil to reference Jacob’s Ladder. It seems like the anime creators are true fans of Quentin Tarantino as another one of his hit movies, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, gets a reference in the Chainsaw Man opening. [ fiends and devils in Chainsaw Man](https://beebom.com/chainsaw-man-devils-fiends-devil-hybrids-difference/) here), is a mysterious character in the CSM universe. In the opening, we can see Chainsaw Man fighting another character in the exact same location where Sadako and Kayako fight in the movie. And while this franchise got another movie in 2022, the opening of Chainsaw Man takes inspiration from the classic 1974 film by Tobe Hooper. That’s why the Chainsaw Man opening has a direct movie reference to this evergreen hit.

While some zombies look decent, some of Denji and the others’ movements look jarring and off-putting. She tells Denji that she came to kill the Zombie Devil as she’s a devil hunter who works with Public Safety. Denji attempts to flee with Pochita in his arms, but the zombies stab him to the ground and chop him up. She assumes he’s responsible for the murders, as Denji asks for her to hug him and the woman does so. He brings the corpse to the old man and asks him to hire him as a devil hunter.

Both young and mature readers will relate to the feeling of helplessness when the devils overpower their hosts, but also enjoy a new world context in which the young characters are the key decision-makers. As one follows the story, Denji himself is revealed to be a bit of a wildcard. While he is an inherently good person, having been deprived of so many things for so long, his decisions are often basic and animalistic as he is unable to see the bigger picture. One of the early scenes in the first episode sees Denji and Pochita camped up inside his derelict house. Denji then goes on to join the Public Devil Hunters, a government agency in charge of protecting civilian life from the threats of devils. The main protagonist is Denji, a teenage boy who’s lived a life of poverty ever since his parents passed away.
