4. Denji vs. The Bat Devil

In a way, the Bat Devil fight is the one where we truly understood that Chainsaw Man was not playing around at all. Denji's battle with the grotesque Bat Devil was nothing short of a gore fest. 

The moment Denji speeds up his chainsaw and goes all out, all hell breaks loose. His determination to save Power and her cat, Meowy, adds a layer of humanity to the otherwise brutal fight. The clash of chainsaws and the monstrous strength of the Bat Devil was a perfect introduction to the kind of madness we were in for.

3. Aki and Himeno vs. Katana Man and Sawatari

In this scene, Aki uses the Curse Devil to eliminate Katana, and desperate to protect Aki,  Himeno offers the ghost devil all she possesses in return for saving Aki. Himeno’s tragic sacrifice combined with Aki’s sheer determination to avenge her, makes this fight incredibly powerful and sentimental.

 2. Denji vs. The Leech Devil

Fresh off his victory against the Bat Devil, Denji finds himself facing the Leech Devil.What makes this fight extraordinary is  Denji's unwavering resolve to not back off, even if he is at a disadvantage and has no chance of winning against his opponent. 

Exhausted, he continues the battle with nothing but his desire. It’s raw, it’s grim, and it is all the things that make Denji, Denji. The appearance of the Leech Devil and the way it attacks is quite bizarre and opposite to Denji’s scrappy and never-give-up attitude.

1. Denji vs. Katana Man

The showdown between Denji and Katana Man will go down in the history of anime battles. The stakes were incredibly high and Denji’s unleashed his full potential as a fighter in this sequence. 

The fight is gruesome, intense, and full of dramatic twists and turns. How Denji cunningly uses his chainsaw to protect his friends and defeat Katana Man makes this the most memorable and satisfying fight of the season, without any doubt. The ending, where Denji finishes off Katana Man and gets his revenge for Himeno, is one of the most epic scenes in the world of anime. 

Chainsaw Man’s first season is crazy from beginning to end, and these fights are only a fraction of the craziness it holds. Every fight is interesting and combines horror, comedy, and emotions masterfully. If you are a fan of epic clashes and gory fights, you best believe Chainsaw Man will not disappoint in any of those aspects. Here’s to more chainsaw-fueled mayhem in the future!
