Being one of the most anticipated releases of the year, it came as no surprise that the anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto 's Chainsaw Man manga will take the top position in global Twitter trends not just once, but twice. The Japanese hashtag #チェンソーマンgot the first position, while the English hashtag #chainsawman got the second position, all this at the time of writing this article.
Several announcements favored the immediate proliferation of this trend, including MAPPA studios revealing the opening sequence and the closing sequence of this first episode, which it should be remembered will be different every week.
- The opening sequence features the theme song " KICK BACK " performed by Kenshi Yonezu.
- The closing sequence of this first episode features the theme song " CHAINSAW BLOOD " performed by Vaundy.
Synopsis for Chainsaw Man
The story takes place in a world where Demons threaten the peace of humans, making them targets to be eliminated. Denji is a young and depressed man who has sold several of his organs and works as a lumberjack and demon hunter to pay off his late father's debt. Denji owns a dog (who is also a demon) named Pochita, who has chainsaws and which he uses to do his work.
This is explained because humans can make contracts with demons. After returning home from a job, Denji is called in by a Yakuza to infiltrate a building and assassinate another demon. However, the plan was a trap to kill him as part of a Yakuza contract with the demon, gaining them more power. But Pochita comes to Denji's aid and bonds with him, becoming a half-man, half-demon and acquiring Pochita's chainsaws.
