And it’s official, more Chainsaw Man is coming. During the anime’s Jump Festa panel, Mappa revealed it was already at work adapting the “International Assassins” arc, which is exactly as it sounds: Denji’s gained some international attention, after which killers from around the globe pop into Japan looking to take him out.
This is some good news for Chainsaw fans, who’ve been expecting hoping for a while that the studio would reveal a continuation. The first wrapped all the way back in 2022, and interest in another sparked up again with the recent record-breaking (and really great, in our opinion) Reze Arc movie. Between then and now, Mappa’s also been really busy with other big projects like Hell’s Paradise, Lazarus, and finishing Attack on Titan several times. However, it’s worth noting that Mappa hasn’t revealed in what form this arc is being adapted. Is it season two of the anime, or is it a second movie?
We’ll have to wait to find out, but even so, it’s nice to hear the studio’s got enough “free time” that it can return to Denji, Aki, and the rest of the Chainsaw Man gang. Since it mighth be a while, you might as well catch up on the first season and movie so you’re ready, or read the manga and see what’s in store. Spoiler: it’s bonkers.
