The first season of Chainsaw Man was quite a unique entry in the seinen genre in 2022. We got quirky characters, scary enemies, and a very clever plotline that hides behind slightly uncomfortable gags. But all of that will change when the second season of Chainsaw Man drops. It will be much more fierce and action-packed, serving as a major turning point for Denji and Pochita. While we are still months away from its release, we already know a lot about the next season, thanks to the manga. So, in an attempt to quench your curiosity, let’s dive in and learn everything we know so far about Chainsaw Man season 2!

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release Date (Expected)

We are still months away from any official announcements of the Chainsaw Man season 2. But, a reliable estimate of the same is still not out of the window. The CSM anime is being produced by MAPPA, which is also the studio behind anime like Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen, which are similar in scale to Chainsaw Man. So, let’s compare their release schedules to get a rough estimate:

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Story Plot

Spoiler Warning: This section contains major spoilers for the first season of Chainsaw Man anime and a few key details of the second one. So, we suggest you at least watch the entire pilot season before reading ahead.

At the end of the first season of Chainsaw Man, Denji defeats and apprehends the Katana Man after a fierce battle. During that mission, the rest of the Tokyo Special Division 4 members collect enough pieces of the gun devil, which when put together move towards the location of the devil. They also apprehend Akane, the woman who controls the snake devil and the ghost devil.

Turns out, she was the one who was in touch with the gun devil and was trying to eliminate Makima’s entire squad with the help of local gangsters. But before the squad could get any information out of her, Akane committed suicide with the help of the snake devil. Though, Makima, while explaining the details to her seniors, insisted that it might be due to her failed contract with the gun devil. Read the entire summary and find out more details about the Chainsaw Man season 1 finale in our linked guide.

However, she is not the only villain of the second season. In the later half of the second season, we expect other international assassins to show up. As per the manga, these international assassins are after Denji’s heart. This leads to an exciting “Avengers: End Game” style battle between the Japanese devil hunters and the international assassins. Who will win? Who will die? You will have to wait and find out. Though, if you are not a fan of waiting, you can simply read the Chainsaw Man manga from where anime season 1 ends.

There is no doubt that the main team consisting of Power, Makima, Denji, and Aki Hayakawa is sure to return. But you can also expect to see a bunch of new major characters and powerful devils of Chainsaw Man in season 2, including:

Not to forget, the fan-favorite Pochita (aka the Chainsaw Man) is expected to make a subtle appearance as well. So, keep an eye out for that too.

At the moment, there is no official confirmation about the entire cast of the second season of Chainsaw Man. But the following voice actors from the pilot season’s Japanese cast are expected to return:

So yeah, the Chainsaw Man anime is not ending anytime soon.
