Chainsaw Man has had its fair share of characters that have left an impression on fans, both for good and for bad. While the anime adaptation remains missing in action, as fans wait to see when the first movie of the bloody shonen franchise will arrive, manga readers are celebrating the death of what might be a major character.

Most likely, we’ll see several seasons in the future for the anime if MAPPA is still on-board with adapting the rest of Fujimoto’s bloody story.
