Chainsaw Man Assassin’s Arc Anime Officially Announced.
After the massive success of Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, fans have been eagerly waiting to dive back into Fujimoto’s chaotic world, and Jump Festa 2026 finally delivered. Chainsaw Man Season 2 has officially been announced, and it will act as a direct continuation of the Reze Arc movie. The upcoming season will adapt the International Assassins Arc, one of the manga’s most intense and wide-reaching storylines to date. Alongside the announcement, fans were treated to a chilling one-minute teaser that shows Makima sitting alone inside a cinema as shadowy figures silently pass by, setting the tone for the danger ahead.
The Assassin’s Arc expands the scale of Chainsaw Man dramatically. News of Denji and the power hidden within his heart spreads beyond Japan, triggering a global scramble as deadly figures from around the world descend with one shared goal: claiming the Chainsaw Devil for themselves. What follows is a relentless hunt that turns Denji into a target on an international level, forcing him and Public Safety to confront threats far more calculated, ruthless, and unpredictable than anything they have faced before.
This arc introduces a lineup of formidable antagonistic forces, including elite assassins, devil contractors, and individuals whose strength challenges even the strongest devil hunters. Characters like Quanxi, a legendary and feared assassin, and the mysterious Santa Claus bring new ideologies, fighting styles, and moral questions into the story, pushing the series further into darker territory. As alliances blur and motives clash, Denji is forced to grapple not only with survival but with what it truly means to be valued as a weapon rather than a person.
With higher stakes, brutal confrontations, and mounting psychological pressure, Season 2 is shaping up to be one of Chainsaw Man’s most explosive chapters yet, raising the question fans cannot stop asking: how long can Denji survive when the entire world wants his heart?
