The Chainsaw’s Revving Again
When Chainsaw Man Season 1 dropped, it wasn’t just another anime season — it was a blood-soaked fever dream that left fans either grinning, crying, or both. We met Denji, our lovable yet hopelessly down-bad protagonist; we fell for Power’s chaotic energy; and we were manipulated (emotionally and narratively) by Makima.
Now that Chainsaw Man Season 2 is officially in production, the fandom has one question: what insanity will Tatsuki Fujimoto throw at us next?
If Season 1 was the warm-up, Season 2 is about to be the main event. And trust me — these theories might just prepare you… or completely mislead you. Either way, let’s have some fun.
Theory 1: Reze’s Explosive Comeback
We can’t talk about Chainsaw Man Season 2 without mentioning the “Bomb Girl” herself — Reze. Her introduction in the manga is one of the most talked-about moments, and if the anime adapts it faithfully, it’s going to break the internet.
Reze isn’t just another love interest for Denji. She’s smart, deadly, and dangerously charming. Her role could redefine the stakes of the series, bringing both emotional conflict and some of the most explosive fight scenes yet.
Theory 2: The Gun Devil Takes Center Stage
Season 1 teased the Gun Devil as the ultimate threat, but in Chainsaw Man Season 2, we might finally see more than fleeting flashbacks. The Gun Devil isn’t just a monster — it’s a political weapon, feared by nations, and its involvement could drag the story into a world of shadowy deals, betrayals, and mass destruction.
Some fans believe the Gun Devil might not even be the final villain, but more of a catalyst for Denji’s deeper battles ahead. Either way, prepare for carnage.
Theory 3: Power’s Redemption and Rise
Power was one of the standout characters in Season 1 — equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. In Season 2, we could see her development take a darker turn.
The manga hints at Power’s complicated fate, but without spoiling too much, fans should brace for both her comedic antics and some gut-wrenching moments. Her bond with Denji might become one of the emotional anchors of the season.
Theory 4: Denji’s Internal Struggle
Sure, Chainsaw Man is all about devil fights, but at its core, it’s also about Denji figuring out who he is. In Season 2, Denji could face choices that challenge his morals, relationships, and even his humanity.
Some fans speculate that we’ll see him grappling with the question: “What kind of life am I fighting for?” Spoiler: it’s probably not just about toast with jam.
Theory 5: International Assassin Arc
If MAPPA decides to speed up the pacing, we could even get glimpses of the International Assassin Arc before Season 2 ends. This arc is like an action movie on steroids — assassins from around the globe all coming for Denji. Expect over-the-top characters, absurd devil powers, and at least one fight that makes you yell at your screen.
Humor Break – 5 Things Denji Might Worry About in Season 2
- “Is it possible to chainsaw a devil and eat my sandwich at the same time?”
- “Power’s living with me again… do I need to lock my fridge?”
- “Will anyone ever just want to go on a normal date?”
- “Do I have enough money for actual bread instead of expired convenience store stuff?”
- “If I save the world, do I finally get a pet dog and a girlfriend?”

From Chainsaws to Soul Kings – For the Fans Who Love Iconic Characters
While Chainsaw Man thrives on raw chaos and unpredictable twists, there’s another character in the anime world who has mastered the art of surviving the impossible — Brook from One Piece.
Brook’s journey as the Straw Hat Pirates’ musician and swordsman is a testament to resilience, humor, and heart, much like how Denji keeps pushing forward no matter the odds. And as fans speculate about what’s coming in Chainsaw Man Season 2, Brook’s own fate in the One Piece Final Saga has sparked equally heated debates.
If you’re curious about whether our beloved Soul King will survive the series’ finale — and what role he might play in the Straw Hats’ final journey — check out our deep dive here: Will Brook Die at the End of One Piece?
Expect the Unexpected
If there’s one universal truth about Chainsaw Man, it’s that Fujimoto loves to destroy our expectations. These theories could all be wrong, or they could all happen with even more twists than we imagined.
Either way, Chainsaw Man Season 2 is set to be bloodier, funnier, and more emotionally devastating than anything we’ve seen before. So sharpen your chainsaws, stock up on tissues, and prepare yourself — Denji’s about to make a mess of our hearts again.
