Chainsaw Man Season 2 Assassins Arc: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far

The buzz around Tatsuki Fujimoto’s chaotic masterpiece just hit a new high. After the massive success of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc in theaters worldwide this year, MAPPA dropped a bombshell at Jump Festa 2026 with the official announcement of the next anime project.

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Assassins Arc Official Announcement

Jump Festa 2026 brought the reveal fans craved. MAPPA confirmed production on Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc (also known as the International Assassins arc adaptation). A teaser trailer and stunning key visual hit the stage, teasing brutal new threats targeting Denji’s heart. This sequel picks up directly after the Reze Arc movie, plunging straight into one of the manga’s most intense and beloved sections from Part 1.

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Release Date Speculation

No official premiere date landed yet. With MAPPA juggling a heavy lineup and the Reze movie still fresh from its 2025 run, realistic guesses lean toward a 2027 rollout. Some chatter points to late 2026 if production speeds along, but 2027 matches the studio’s typical timelines for top-tier quality. Expect more concrete news – maybe a full trailer or window – at upcoming events like Anime Expo or next Jump Festa.

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Expected Cast

MAPPA stays at the helm, promising the same jaw-dropping animation that defined Season 1 and the Reze movie. Returning Japanese voice talent includes:

• Kikunosuke Toya as Denji/Chainsaw Man
• Tomori Kusunoki as Makima
• Shogo Sakata as Aki Hayakawa
• Fairouz Ai as Power

New assassin voices remain under wraps for now, but reveals should roll out soon. The English dub crew, starring Ryan Colt Levy as Denji, figures to reunite for Crunchyroll streams.

Chainsaw Man Season 2 Potential Plot

Things escalate wildly in the Assassins Arc. Denji’s exploits as Chainsaw Man go global, painting a massive target on his back. International hybrids and devil contractors swarm Japan, each with insane abilities and motives. Standouts include the deadly Quanxi and her crew, the eerie Santa Claus, plus wildcard threats from across the world.

Non-stop carnage mixes with twisted alliances, mind-bending devil powers, and deeper probes into control, identity, and Denji’s fractured dreams. Emotional gut punches land amid the chaos, building toward huge Part 1 climaxes. Manga readers know this stretch delivers some of the series’ wildest fights and revelations.
