Chainsaw Man Season 2: Renewed Or Not?
The first season of CSM aired its final episode on December 28, 2022. And the hope is that there would come an update right as the season ends. However, since then, the makers have refrained from sharing any detail about Chainsaw Man Season 2. But CSM’s anime debut was considered the biggest hit of the previous year. Thus, a plain announcement might not do justice to the show and the creators.
The biggest events in pop culture, Comic Con and JumpFesta are to take place soon enough. This is where the fans hope to hear about the final renewal of the sequel. But there are certain changes that are to take place for Season 2!
Latest Updates!
Since the end of the first season, only a few announcements have come out. But the most striking was the one that came out in February 2023. The makers mentioned that a special announcement was to come out in the month of March (2023). Another update that MAPPA shares is about the Stage Event from 2023. In May 2023, the animation company was to open its own stage event, announcing the next CSM Season.
However, no final release date update has made its way to the internet since then. The Anime Daily is still looking forward to any update on Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release Date. We will be sure to update this section as soon as there is any more detail on this.
Production Details
The delay in the final announcement suggests that there might be some production issues behind the scenes. MAPPA Studios was the animation company behind the first season. And for the slates of 2023, the animation giant has Attack On Titan The Final Season Part 3, Hell’s Paradise Jigokuraku, and JJK Season 2 in its hands. Apart from this, some movies are also lined up for the company. The clear reason behind the delay of AOT’s last part was the tight schedule of the company.
But it seems like the company is signing all projects at hand right now. CSM’s team might not be working on the production right now. Thus, it is safe to say that the animation work has not started just now. One piece of news about Chainsaw Man Season 2 release date did strike earlier this year. Anime News Leaker’s Twitter page, Jaymes Hanson was quick to claim that the production was to begin late.
The anime sequel is currently in the pre-production stage. Hence, there is still time until the commencement of the animation work.
Manga Compared To Anime!
First appearing in the Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, CSM is the work of Tatsuki Fujimoto. Shueisha had been backing the project for the longest time. So far, 14 volumes of the story have come out. And more than 120 chapters have been released in this package.
The first season of Chainsaw Man is used up until the 38th chapter of the manga. With this, a long list of chapters remains to source the rest of the seasons. If made up until the last arc, there might as well be multiple seasons in this story. Right now, Chainsaw Man Season 2 has the chance of covering the next 40 outings.
The title of Chainsaw Man Chapter 39 is “Tearjerker.” The International Assassins arc goes from Chapter 53 to Chapter 70. Thus, Denji’s exposure will take most of the time in the sequel.
What Will Happen In The Sequel?
The first season ended up using the first four story arcs from the text, leaving room for the opening episodes to commence the “Bomb Girl” arc. This is the fifth installment of the Public Safety saga. Denji happens to fall in love with a girl who had been spending time with him. The boy also somewhere falls in love with her. But as time passes, a series of mysterious events point at the fact that this lady might as well be a devil herself. And his suspicion turns out to be true.
The girl, in fact, was the Gun Devil. And the entire incident leaves him exposed in front of the world. All the world now knows that Denji is the Chainsaw Man. Knowing that the entire world had been looking for him, the first ones to come and attack him were the people of the international mafia. So now, Denji not only has to defend his own safety, but also has to protect the world from other devils.
This is where the “International Assassins’ Arc” commences in the story. But before the new arcs commence, there are some questions that everyone is finding the answers to. The foremost has been that of the death of Himeno. We have seen many characters come and go in the past. Thus, the hope of seeing her again are high.
Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release Date
Knowing that CSM has been the biggest name in recent times, the final announcement shall not be as simple. Either the comic con or the JumpFesta shall bring the next announcement to the floors. The next anime event is lined up to come out in July 2023. Thus, Chainsaw Man Season 2 might get a tan announcement in the mid of 2023. We will be sure to update this section as soon as there is any more detail on this. Thus, keep an eye on The Anime Daily to get all the updates right here.
