Chainsaw Man Shows Off Life-Sized Denji and Pochita Statues

By Evan Valentine

Chainsaw Man is preparing to hit the anime world hard in just a few weeks, with Studio MAPPA handling the animating duties for the Denji and his fellow devil hunters' arrival. Recently, the voice actors behind the series took the opportunity to gather to celebrate the premiere episode, which was aired early during this event in Japan, as life-sized statues depicting Denji, Pochita, and Power. While Chainsaw Man has some competition in Spy x Family, it might walk away as the big new anime of the year.    

Chainsaw Man might have its fair share of bloody battles, as Denji attempts to eradicate the devil scourge at the behest of the mysterious Makima, but it's the personalities of the Shonen protagonists that helped sell the series to so many fans throughout the years since it first debuted in 2018. Denji as the Chainsaw Man doesn't fight against the supernatural simply to save innocent people, but rather, does so to have a roof over his head, three square meals per day, and potentially get a girlfriend at some point in the future. As Denji's story continues, he learns that not everything is as it appears to be, and begins to realize that the fight against the Gun Devil will cost him far more than he dreamed.

The first images of the new big statues depicting some of Chainsaw Man's biggest characters were featured during the recent premiere event for the anime adaptation, though details regarding when, or if, these will be made available to the public and how much they will cost remain a mystery at this time:

If you're unfamiliar with the story following Denji and his fellow devil hunters, Chainsaw Man has received an official description thanks to Crunchyroll:

"Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as "Chainsaw Man"-- a man with a devil's heart."
