Four Horsemen in Chainsaw Man. The animated adaptation of Tatsuki Yamamoto’s manga series, Chainsaw Man is due to debut sometime in 2022. Studio Mappa already provided two trailers to fans last year. These trailers have created a lot of hype for the dark fantasy anime series.

The manga series is loved by manga lovers all over the globe, but it does contain a lot of gore and touches on sensitive subjects. Before you jump into the anime, people who are eager to watch Chainsaw Man need to be familiar with important information about the manga.

Chainsaw man recap

Chainsaw Man is set in a society in which devils, fear manifested into beings, are reincarnated into this world and hunt humans for their blood. Denji is the main character in the story.

He is a part-time hunter for devils and owes a lot to the Yakuza (Japanese Mafia). Pochita, a gentle and tamed devil-dog named Pochita is Denji’s best friend. 

Denji accidentally signs a contract with Pochita after he gives his friend some of his blood in order to heal it from being hurt. Denji is resurrected by his contract and merges with Pochita, becoming the Chainsaw Devil, after the Yakuza betrays him and kills the boy.

 Denji is defeated by the Yakuza and meets Makima who invites him to join the Public Safety Devil Hunters along with Aki Hayakawa (Power). This story is about Denji’s quest to defeat the Gun Devil.

The author has confirmed that they will continue the story by writing and drawing a second part to the manga.

Fans are thrilled to see their favourite characters from paper come to life on screen and they hope the manga is well-done. It is dangerous to leave so much in the hands of MAPPA, especially considering the additional information about their studio.

 We can only hope that workers will be treated better and have the creative freedom to ensure the anime is as good as the manga.

Who Are the Four Horsemen in Chainsaw Man?

If you have read Chainsaw Man, you’ve probably heard of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They are figures in the Christian religion. They’ve also appeared in speculative fiction in many forms. Who and what exactly are the Four Horsemen of Chainsaw Man?

The Chainsaw Man shonen Manga’s Four Horsemen is a group of four powerful Devils who represent the Four Horsemen from Christianity. These Devils have one distinctive feature: they remember the names of the Devils Chainsaw Man ate.

There is not much known about the Four Horsemen other than Makima, who was later revealed to be the Control Devil.

About the Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen appear for the first time in the Old Testament, in the Books of Zachariah & Ezekiel.

They are later mentioned in the New Testament as God’s punishment.

Horsemen are portrayed and described mostly as riders of horses of different colors. In the Book of the Apocalypse they are called “sword, hunger, wild beasts and plague”.

The significance of the Four Horsemen would require more than one article. However, suffice it to say that they have been used on multiple occasions in popular cultural productions such as Good Omensby Neil Gaiman or Terry Pratchett.

Chainsaw Manis a manga which, in essence, explores the worst possible things that could happen. It’s only fitting that these figures would appear there.

We do know that they are not a cohesive unit. Makima intended to destroy the three others.

A little history: The Horsemen once fought Pochita in Hell. He mysteriously vanished, and his forms changed so that they couldn’t find him.

Makima was the Control Devil. He went to Earth in search of the Chainsaw Man, which had been created when Denji merged with Pochita.

What Can We Expect From the Four Horsemen?

Chainsaw Man Part 2 introduces Asa Mitaka, a character who is severely mutilated and beaten by a classmate jealous of her.

In exchange for Mitaka’s safety, the War Devil offers her control over her body. She accepts.

The War Devil sees a Chainsaw Man poster and vows to make Chainsaw Man vomit nukes again. This suggests that Mitaka/the War Devil may now be one of the Four Horsemen as they recall Chainsaw Man’s nuclear weapons devil.
