An original tribute to one of Chainsaw Man’s most popular villains
Tatsuki Fujimoto is a very unique mangaka who has managed to excite a good part of his followers thanks to Look Backa drama-laden one-shot that received an excellent adaptation to the big screen. However, the best-known manga by this author remains Chainsaw Mana controversial shonen that has rarely left its readers indifferent.
Chainsaw Man also had its own adaptation to the anime format in 2022, receiving in its case a first season of 12 episodes in total. In its last third, viewers had the opportunity to see in action Katana Mana hybrid that put our protagonists in serious trouble. Despite not being the most evil character, this enemy left many viewers shocked, and has come to star in fanarts as surprising as the one we share today.

As we can see, @machipachi1901 has imagined Katana Man with a sturdy metal skeleton which makes it even more resistant to the attacks of its adversaries. His swords are directly attached to his hands and his hat goes from being an accessory to just another part of his head. Additionally, the fanart includes some notes that inform about the features of this new version.
Katana Man is one of the most remembered characters from the first part of the Chainsaw Man manga. He was the culprit of one of the most dramatic deaths of the entire work, and in his confrontations against Denji he proved to be an implacable rival capable of sacrificing the lives of his allies to achieve his objectives.
As for the Chainsaw Man anime, this one completely adapted the arc that had Katana Man as the main antagonist. Its second season is still up in the air, but the story of its main characters will continue in Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, the first official film of the IP.
