Chainsaw Man tells the story of Denji, a young man who was left with nothing after his father’s death. Impoverished and desperate, Denji signed a contract with a Devil named Pochita. In this world, Devils are creatures born from the fear humans feel of certain objects or creatures. By entering a contract with a Devil, humans are granted powers to help them fight evil creatures.

These people are called Devil Hunters, as they use their powers to keep evil and bloodthirsty Devils at bay. Thanks to his contract with Pochita, Denji now possesses the ability to turn parts of his body into chainsaws. He uses these powers to create a safer world where Devils do not hurt innocents.
