Film Synopses

CHAINSAW MAN – THE COMPILATION

Denji is a young boy who works as a Devil Hunter with the “Chainsaw Devil” Pochita. 

One day, as he was living his miserable life trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, he got betrayed and killed. As he was losing his consciousness, he made a deal with Pochita, and got resurrected as the “Chainsaw Man”: the owner of the Devil’s heart.

 

CHAINSAW MAN – THE COMPILATION: PART I

Denji is a teenager who lives his life as a Devil Hunter. Aiming to pay off the debt he inherited from his father, he starts hunting devils for the yakuza with his buddy Pochita, a "Chainsaw Devil", while living a tragically poor life.

Just when things seem like they couldn't get any worse, Denji is summoned by the yakuza.

 

CHAINSAW MAN – THE COMPILATION: PART II

Becoming the "Chainsaw Man" and fighting with an insane, unhinged battle style, Denji finally succeeds in defeating the "Eternity Devil."

After the battle, the members of Public Safety Devil Extermination Special Division 4 return to their daily lives and hold a "welcome party" for the new recruits.

During the party, Denji brings up the kiss that Himeno had promised him before the fight.
