This may come as a surprise if you’re going into the movie with no prior knowledge, but fans of the series (or the manga that inspired it) already know Denji for the love-lorn, sex-obsessed character he truly is. And yet, even among the fandom, there’s an ongoing debate over whether Denji is a deplorable creep or a metaphor for an entire generation of young men trapped in a state of arrested development.


It’s great to see a different perspective on Chainsaw Man’s protagonist! This character definitely has more depth than many might expect. Looking forward to seeing how the film portrays him!
