Here is everything you need to know about why Chainsaw Man is the best of the three Shonen dark novels.
The Different Devils & Their Powers
The heroes of Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Hell’s Paradise all get to slaughter bizarre creatures with abandon.The Devils in Chainsaw Man are not only unique in their appearance and abilities, but also have a fascinating social structure in which they can steal and use the abilities of other Devils to defeat them.
Even though Denji is quite powerful thanks to his status as a Chainsaw Devil, he still faces enemies who are frightening in their own unique ways, such as the Darkness Devil, the Katana Devil, the Gun Devil, and the War Devil. The show’s monsters are more unpredictable than usual.

Different End Credits Each Episode
The opening and closing themes of their favorite anime have become increasingly important to fans. Some bands have become famous entirely due to the success of their covers of anime opening themes.
Chainsaw Man’s theme song, “Kick Back” by Kenshi Yonezu, plays at the beginning of every episode. The ending themes of each episode of the anime are distinctive in that they feature a different song and animated sequence. Since more ensembles are featured, this provides a wider range of options.
Huge Twists & Shocking Deaths
Each “Shonen Dark Trio” series starts with a lot on the line. But it’s not clear if they’ll really keep these bold, dangerous promises.Chainsaw Man kills or shows that some of its most important characters are actually enemies, not allies, without fear.
Chainsaw Man doesn’t use plot armor to hide behind just because some characters are popular. On the other hand, it doesn’t just make people betray each other and fight for the sake of drama. The big reveals in Chainsaw Man all feel very natural.
Expressive Choreography In Fight Scenes
Each member of the “Dark Shonen Trio” makes it so that there are long-term threats. It needs to be destroyed, and it will take a little more work on the battlefield to do so. In Jujutsu Kaisen, the jujutsu magic works, and in Hell’s Paradise, the precise swordplay doesn’t miss. But Chainsaw Man has the most chaos of any movie ever made.
When it comes to pacing, presentation, and choreography, MAPPA’s big fights are second to none. Many of them feel like fights between giant kaiju. The Chainsaw Devil powers that Denji has make him a natural for acrobatic combat.
Denji’s Unconventional Nature & Flawed Humanity
A shonen series’ success or failure hinges on how well its protagonist performs. And the “Shonen Dark Trio” of Denji, Yuji Itadori, and Gabimaru all deliver solid performances. Denji, the protagonist of Chainsaw Man, stands out from the pack due to the extreme simplicity of his motivations.
While Denji has good intentions and strives to make the world a better place, much of his action is driven by the hormonal wager he makes with Power.Denji’s crude and imperfect personality are often played up in Chainsaw Man.
