When Will Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release?
Chainsaw Man Season 2, officially titled Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc, got its big reveal at Jump Festa 2026 no exact date yet, but late 2026 or 2027 feels realistic given MAPPA's packed schedule. The studio dropped a teaser and key visual right there on stage, showing Denji looking all tense and hunted, with assassins closing in. It's the kind of announcement that hits like a devil's chainsaw rev fans have waited forever since Season 1 wrapped in 2022.@d0nut2x on X posted on December 21 about the Chainsaw Man Season 2 – Assassins Arc official teaser trailer. Fans are buzzing over the first look at the highly anticipated anime continuation.
MAPPA's been busy with the Reze Arc movie, which crushed it at the box office with over $154 million worldwide and a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score. That film adapted the Bomb Girl Arc perfectly, setting up this next chapter without rushing straight into TV episodes.
Remember how the president of MAPPA teased plans post-movie at Anime Expo? "We have something in mind," he said vague, but now it's real. Expect a wait similar to Season 1's gap; production's underway, but Jujutsu Kaisen and other hits mean no shortcuts. Industry buzz points to 2027 premiere, maybe fall, to match that dark, escalating vibe.
Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release Date in India
For India, Chainsaw Man Season 2 should drop on streaming around the same time as global late 2026 or more likely 2027, synced with Crunchyroll's rollout. No India-specific delays announced, but past patterns show episodes hitting IST shortly after Japan airs, like 5:30 PM or so for weekly drops. The Reze Arc movie just wrapped theater runs here too, building hype.
Crunchyroll's got the sub license locked in, so expect simulcasts. If it's weekly like Season 1, that means midnight JST episodes translating to early morning IST perfect for night owls pulling all-nighters. Holiday timing could shift things; Jump Festa timing suggests avoiding crunch periods. Fans in Chennai or Mumbai might catch premieres at local anime fests first, but streaming's the main game.

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Plot
Season 2 dives straight into the International Assassins Arc (manga chapters 53-70ish), where Denji's fame as Chainsaw Man paints a target on his back hitmen from around the globe line up for his heart. It picks up post-Reze movie, ramping up the chaos with Quanxi the crossbow devil hybrid and Santa Claus pulling strings in brutal fights.
Denji juggles Public Safety gigs amid escalating threats, blending bloody action with those gut-punch twists Fujimoto loves. Gun Devil looms larger, but this arc's all about isolation and mind games fans call it the franchise's peak for good reason. No spoilers, but expect betrayals that hit harder than a devil's claw. It's darker, more global, less schoolyard vibes.
Chainsaw Man Season 2 Cast
The core voice cast returns, keeping Denji's raspy chaos intact Junya Enoki as Denji nails that mix of dumb luck and raw power. MAPPA's continuity means no big swaps.
Here's the key lineup:
| Character | Japanese VA | English VA (Crunchyroll Dub) |
|---|---|---|
| Denji | Junya Enoki | Ryan Colt Levy |
| Aki Hayakawa | Shogo Sakata | Alex Organ |
| Power | Ai Fairouz (Eng) | Ai Fairouz |
| Makima | Tomori Kusunoki | Ryan Britt |
| Quanxi (New) | ADO (rumored) | TBA |
New assassins bring fresh blood think intense showdowns voiced to chill spines. Dubs drop weeks after subs, standard fare.
About Chainsaw Man Season 2
Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc caps Part 1's wild ride, adapting Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga that's sold over 34 million copies. Season 1 hooked everyone with its anti-hero grit; the movie proved MAPPA can handle the hype. This arc? Manga readers rave it's the best non-stop assassins, psychological warfare, and Denji growing (kinda) amid the gore.
It's not just fights; Fujimoto weaves in loneliness and absurdity, like Denji pondering boobs between beheadings. Humor lightens the bleakness picture a devil Santa going full psycho. With Reze's success, expectations skyrocket, but MAPPA's track record (Attack on Titan vibes) suggests it'll deliver. Will it cram Gun and Control Devil arcs too? Probably not 12-24 episodes feels right for Assassins alone. Either way, it's primed to dominate anime talks again.
