Chainsaw Man Ends First Season With Wild Contest

Chainsaw Man's first season might have come to an end, but the season finale certainly gaves viewers plenty when it came to blood and humor. With the Chainsaw Devil testing his power out against the Katana Man, Denji and Aki eventually find themselves taking part in a hilarious "contest" that mkes for one of the funniest moments of the bloody Shonen adaptation. If Chainsaw Man does return for a second season, this will be the moment to be in the comedy department.       

Denji's fight against the Katana Devil was one for the history books, as the Chainsaw Man found himself fighting both inside and outside of a subway car, losing a number of limbs as he attempted to stop the biggest bad of the first season. Employing the use of a new power at his disposal, Denji bursts a chainsaw blade out of one of his legs, splitting Katana Man right down the middle. Much like the Chainsaw Devil could recuperate from horrific injuries, his opponent could do the same, though this unique contest started by Denji and Aki is one that he might not want to live through.

Chainsaw Contest

Standing over the defeated Katana Man, Denji suggests a hilarious contest in which both of the Devil Hunters take shots at kicking the villain in the crotch repeatedly, with whoever makes the fiend scream the loudest being marked as the winner. While Aki is usually the most stoic of his companions working for Makima, this was a well-earned opportunity as Katana Man was partly responsible for the death of Himeno earlier in the season.

When last we see Aki, Denji, and Power, it seems that they have truly united after the hardships that the first season threw at them, though when Chainsaw Man does return, the Devil Hunters are going to have a combination of bloody and hilarious battles ahead. 

Currently, MAPPA has been tight-lipped on the possibility of Denji's return, though the popularity of the series along with MAPPA's previous commitment to translating all of Tatsuki Fujimoto's works, Chainsaw Man Season 2 might already be in the works.
