Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release Date, Trailer, Cast & Manga Spoilers – Everything Fans Need to Know

Fans have been revving their hype engines ever since MAPPA’s surprise reveal of Chainsaw Man Season 2—officially subtitled the “Assassins Arc”—during Jump Festa 2026. The studio dropped a gritty teaser and a striking key visual that confirm Denji’s next mission will pit him against a worldwide roster of elite killers hungry for the Chainsaw Devil’s heart. When is Chainsaw Man Season 2 coming out? MAPPA hasn’t given an exact release date, but industry insiders expect the anime to slice onto screens sometime in 2027, after the recent Reze Arc movie wraps its global theatrical run. Production has already begun, so a late-2026 trailer drop followed by a 2027 broadcast on TV Tokyo and Crunchyroll is the most realistic timeline. What the Assassins Arc covers Season 2 adapts manga chapters 53-70, often dubbed the “International Assassins Arc.” With Makima pulling the strings, Denji becomes a walking target for American brothers Aldo, Joey, and South, Soviet sniper Tolka, and China’s deadly Quanxi. Expect frenetic city-wide chases, brutal new Devil contracts, and the debut of fan-favorite fiend Power’s upgraded form. The arc also deepens the franchise’s political conspiracy, setting the stage for the long-awaited Gun Devil showdown. Returning staff and cast • Director: Ryū Nakayama is back to helm the blood-soaked action with MAPPA’s signature cinematic cuts. • Composer: Kensuke Ushio (Devilman Crybaby) returns with an industrial-punk soundtrack. • Cast: Kikunosuke Toya (Denji), Tomori Kusunoki (Makima), Shogo Sakata (Aki), and Fairouz Ai (Power) reprise their roles, joined by new voices for Quanxi and the mysterious Santa Claus assassin. Why this season matters Chainsaw Man’s debut season dominated streaming charts, while the Reze Arc film became 2025’s top-grossing anime movie worldwide. Season 2’s Assassins Arc raises the stakes by expanding the global power struggle—and the body count. With MAPPA’s meticulous animation, every chainsaw rip and katana clash is poised to trend across social media the moment new footage drops.
