Chainsaw Man Grants Denji a Wild New Ability For The Season Finale
Chainsaw Man's first season ended with Denji fighting in one of his bloodiest battles to date, using all the tricks at his disposal in an effort to take down the Katana Man once and for all. Luckily for the Chainsaw Devil, he has a new trick that was able to save his life and change his future for the better. While MAPPA has yet to confirm that a second season is on the way, the popularity of the anime series makes it seem like a foregone conclusion that Denji will return.
Denji's fusion with his beloved canine, Pochita, not only allowed him to have chainsaw blades burst forth from his head and arms, it also has made him nigh-immortal, as he can lose limbs, be cut in half, and generally receive wild amounts of damage. Should Denji manage to guzzle down blood, he can quickly heal from any damage that he receives, which unfortunately is a similar power that Katana Man has. As Denji had his heart replaced by Pochita, so to did the Katana Man have something similar happen to him, making for a dark reflection of the Shonen protagonist, and during their fight, Denji was able to one-up the antagonist thanks to a power that the fiend did not have.
Chainsaw Legs
During their fight inside a subway car, Denji's arms are slashed off by the Katana Man, along with the blade jutting forth from his head. Luckily for the Chainsaw Devil, he has other blades at his disposal as Denji is able to slash his opponent straight down the middle using his legs, making for quite the surprising end to the confrontation.
At present, Studio MAPPA has yet to confirm that a second season of Chainsaw Man is on the way, though considering the popularity of its anime adaptation, as well as there being plenty of manga material that has yet to be adapted, it's a surefire bet that it will only be a matter of time before we see Denji and his fellow devil hunters return to the small screen. For those who haven't been following the manga, rest assured that there are more bloody battles and hilarious moments to come.
