The most popular characters in Chainsaw Man
With the long-awaited announcement of Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc, set to hit theaters in 2025, the anime fans community is already preparing to dive into the thrilling continuation of Denji's adventures.
Three years after the first season, which masterfully adapted the first four arcs of the anime, the movie promises to satisfy the fans' anticipation and curiosity through the fifth arc of the story, the Reze Arc – a key moment in Tatsuki Fujimoto's comic, also known as the "Bomb Girl Arc".
However, this cinematic solution raises a question on everyone's lips: will there really be a second season of Chainsaw Man? Nothing is confirmed yet, but the prestigious MAPPA studio might choose to follow the example of the phenomenon Demon Slayer, offering several feature films dedicated to the following arcs instead of a traditional season. A strategy that could be as satisfying as it is intriguing.

Of course, Chainsaw Man impresses first by its universe as dark as it is striking, where violence mixes with absurdity and the raw poetry of life. But the series excels mainly thanks to its protagonists, whose flaws, inner struggles, and heartfelt sincerity immediately captivate. Denji embodies this antihero who is naive, vulnerable, and fundamentally human, while Asa, new in the second part of the anime, continues her slow rise to the hearts of readers. The antagonists, often as complex as the heroes, fully contribute to the saga's fame, each character representing a facet of human chaos or fragility.
15. Kobeni Higashiyama: the comic relief and fragile heart
A true figurehead of laughter and compassion, Kobeni perfectly embodies ordinary humanity immersed in a world of horrors and supernatural dangers. Her panic fear, pathological shyness, and cascading misfortunes provoke as much hilarity as empathy, ranking her among the most moving characters, despite — or because of — her apparent limits. Beyond her weaknesses, Kobeni rises to the rank of a role model for joining the formidable Special Division 4, driven solely by the desire to support her family, especially by funding her brother's studies. Her courage, occasionally erupting in desperate fights (notably against Katana Man and Sawatari), reveals a bravery all the more remarkable as it seems unnatural for her. Nevertheless, her reserved attitude and tendency to isolation explain her place in this ranking.
14. Reze: the premature disappearance of a fascinating anti-heroine
Nicknamed Bomb Girl, Reze stands among the most striking and ambivalent female characters of the anime. Her first appearance, under a sweet and playful guise, hides a much darker reality: Reze is a weapon created by the State, sent to seduce and eliminate Denji. Despite the coldness of her mission, she develops a sincere, almost tragic attraction to the hero, revealing unexpected sensitivity and vulnerability. Her broken youth, marked by confinement and manipulation, as well as her status as a hybrid searching for identity, add depth to the character. After her disappearance, Reze continues to haunt fans' minds, becoming a symbol of tenderness and possible redemption within a ruthless universe.
13. Kishibe: overwhelming strength and mentor's wisdom
Among devil hunters, Kishibe undoubtedly holds the place of the most formidable as well as the most subtle and endearing mentor. A pioneer of a renewed shonen mentorship model, he promises Denji and Power, from their first meeting, to turn them into incomparable warriors. His austere appearance, legendary toughness, and lucidity in the face of violence make him feared and respected by all. Yet beneath this shell lies sincere humanity, a deep attachment to his students, and a biting humor that makes him profoundly accessible. His ambiguous and platonic relationship with Quanxi adds to his complexity, enhancing the mysterious and poetic aura surrounding his appearances.
12. Makima: the enduring popularity of a figure of ambiguity
Central character of the first season, Makima fascinates by the duality of her nature. Alternately compassionate, authoritative, and manipulative, she offers Denji as much comfort as torment. Despite her odious acts and calculating coldness, Makima retains a magnetic aura, consistently ranking at the top of popularity lists. Her labyrinthine psychology, her unspoken love for Pochita, and the complex dynamic she maintains with all protagonists make her an unforgettable figure, as terrifying as she is captivating.
11. Quanxi: the deadly elegance of the Bow Demon
Former top demon hunter, nicknamed the Bow Demon, Quanxi stands as one of the most impressive fighters in the anime, just behind Denji in raw power. Her masterful fighting style, apparent coldness, and natural charisma make her immediately memorable. Naturally distant with most humans, Quanxi expresses sincere and protective love towards her companions, embodying a personal quest for identity and acceptance in a hostile world. Her open sexuality and ability to care for her own add further depth to this exceptionally crafted character.
10. The Angel Devil: compassion in the greyness
An atypical member of Special Division Tokyo 4, the Angel Devil stands out by his paradoxical humanity within a violent universe. Originating from the fear angels inspire in popular faith, he shows surprising empathy, comforting the dying with unexpected tenderness. His deep bond with Aki Hayakawa, his bouts of laziness, latent power, and rejection of all authority make him both mysterious and endearing. Able to absorb human lifespan by simple contact, he fights against this dark side, while his childlike passion for Italian ice cream makes him irresistibly human.
9. Meowy: the pet, a vector of pure emotion
In the tradition of great animes, pets hold an essential place, symbolizing affection and peace. Meowy, the cat adopted by Power, brilliantly illustrates this tenderness. Initially destined to be devoured, he quickly becomes a companion, then an emblematic figure of naïve and sincere attachment. This small silent ball of fur offers a welcome emotional breath in a world paced by blood and chaos.
8. Himeno: kindness at the heart of turmoil
Among hunters, Himeno stands out for her maturity and kindness. Despite a sometimes eccentric personality, she manages to impose a delicate balance between empathy and responsibility, especially watching over Aki with unfailing affection. Her quiet optimism counterbalances her dark thoughts, while her personal story adds tragic depth to her character. Her sacrifice during the fight against Katana Man remains one of the series' most moving moments, illustrating the nobility of soul of an ordinary woman faced with the extraordinary.
7. Beam: eccentricity in the service of loyalty
Introduced during the first season, Beam, the Shark Demon, stands out for his eccentricity and boundless loyalty to Denji, his "Chainsaw Lord." His overflowing enthusiasm, sometimes offbeat humor, unwavering courage, and physical strength make him a sympathetic and indispensable pillar during major battles, bringing lightness and dynamism to the whole story.
6. Nayuta: the last light in Denji’s darkness
Nayuta, the recent incarnation of the Control Devil and member of the Four Horsemen, quickly reveals a striking duality. Under Denji's care after Makima's disappearance, she oscillates between the innocence of a child and the power of a formidable cosmic entity. Becoming the only true affection left in Denji’s chaotic life, she embodies both danger and hope, forming with him a duo both touching and unsettling.
5. Pochita: the unconditional heart of the saga
A central and perhaps most touching character, Pochita is the devil dog who, in a sense, literally gives his heart to Denji. Embodying the Chainsaw Devil, his silent presence and absolute loyalty save the hero repeatedly. His goodness, simplicity, and unconditional affection toward Denji make Pochita a symbol of hope and tenderness in a universe dominated by violence.
4. Asa Mitaka: the touching imperfection of a new protagonist
A central character of the second part of Chainsaw Man, Asa Mitaka quickly wins readers’ hearts with her clumsiness, lucidity, and complexity. Alone, pessimistic, and sometimes petty, she nevertheless displays a nobility of soul that makes her irresistibly human. Torn between her own doubts and the presence of Yoru, the Warrior Devil, she maintains a dynamic with Denji that is both tense and sincere, leading to memorable scenes like in chapter 167.
3. Denji: a broken but resolutely human hero
Main character, Denji breaks away from traditional shonen codes. Far from classic heroic aspirations, he only desires a simple existence: to eat his fill, be loved, take care of Pochita, Power, Aki, and now Nayuta. His coarseness, naivety, and apparent selfishness are balanced by unexpected courage, disarming sincerity, and a deep capacity for love. It is this assumed vulnerability that makes Denji so endearing, transcending the barriers between hero and anti-hero.
2. Aki Hayakawa: the tragedy of a protective big brother
Probably the most poignant fate in the series, Aki Hayakawa faces the specter of death with rare dignity. Distant and withdrawn upon joining the Special Division, he gradually becomes the brotherly figure on whom Denji and Power can rely, shaping an exceptional trio marked by disputes, affection, and sincere camaraderie. His quest to defeat the Armed Devil reveals a determination and nobility of soul that make his disappearance all the more heartbreaking.
1. Power: the indomitable Blood Demon, jewel of the series
Best friend and adoptive sister of Denji, Power stands out as the most irresistible character in Chainsaw Man. Despite her explosive, unpredictable, and sometimes selfish nature, she embodies vitality and absolute sincerity in a often grim world. Her popularity, measured by official rankings, continues to grow through polls. Her fierce loyalty to Denji and Aki, her devastating humor, her outrageous stances, and her sensitive evolution make her the beating heart of the saga, offering bursts of light and hope amidst darkness.
