Top 10 Most Lovable Characters in Chainsaw Man Ranked

Chainsaw Man may be dark and gory but it has a diverse cast of lovable and charming characters. From Denji to Asa, the series has characters that resonate with fans. Now that Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is coming out in 2025, it’s the perfect time to revisit the characters that stole our hearts. Here’s a detailed ranking of the 10 most likable characters in Chainsaw Man.

Angel Devil

The Angel Devil is a fresh take on devils in Chainsaw Man. Unlike most devils, he’s a Devil Hunter and has a surprising amount of empathy for humans. His relationship with Aki Hayakawa adds depth to his character and shows the complexity of friendship and loyalty in a world gone mad.

The Angel Devil’s weirdness, including his love for soft-serve ice cream, is so endearing and you can relate to him. His internal struggle and remorse for his actions is something fans can sympathize with as he grapples with the morality of being a devil. He’s a unique take on devils and their relationship with humans so he’s a standout character in the series.

Kishibe

Kishibe is the strongest Devil Hunter and Denji and Power sensei. His rough exterior and brutal methods are balanced by a softer side that shows up when he’s around his students. Kishibe’s promise to make Denji into “the baddest of the badasses” shows he believes in them and wants to see them succeed.

He’s intelligent and mature so he’s a likable character and his relationship with Quanxi adds depth to his character and shows a more vulnerable side to him compared to his tough exterior. Kishibe experience and wisdom is a guiding light to the younger hunters, making him a figure of authority in the chaotic world of devil hunting.

Quanxi

Quanxi is known as the First Devil Hunter. She’s a brutal assassin and she’s cold. Her combat skills are top notch and she’s not to be messed with. But beneath all that tough exterior is a girlfriend lover and that shows a softer side to her.

Quanxi’s strength in battle is matched by her brains and strategic thinking. Her relationships with Kishibe especially shows a more vulnerable side to her which is opposite to her reputation as a killer. And her desire to educate and human rights for the fiends she loves adds more layers to her character. So she’s more than just a assassin and fans can appreciate her multi faced personality.

Himeno

Himeno is one of the most likable characters in Chainsaw Man. Her maturity, kindness and protecting of her juniors especially Aki makes her a comforting presence in the devil hunting world. Himeno’s character is defined by her genuine care for her friends which shows even in her flawed moments like when she tried to seduce Denji drunk.

Her sacrifice to save Aki adds another layer to her character and making her death felt by her friends and the audience. Himeno’s journey is about navigating personal relationships in a dangerous world and her nurturing spirit hits home to the fans and she’s in our hearts.

Makima

Makima is a weirdly popular character despite being a manipulator. At first she seems nice and shows Denji kindness and then she reveals herself as the Control Devil and is ruthless. Fans are drawn to her mysteriousness and the Denji relationship despite her morally gray morality.

She can manipulate people and has a strategy mind so she’s fun to analyze. The dualism of her character (being a caregiver and a cold manipulator) adds depth to her and she’s an interesting character in the story. Her popularity in the polls despite her true intentions being revealed shows how complex human is and how gray the series is.

Pochita

Pochita, the cute little Chainsaw Devil, is the symbol of loyalty and kindness. His relationship with Denji is the core of the story and his selflessness to save Denji is the proof of his heroism. Pochita’s cuteness and unwavering support to Denji makes him one of the most liked character in the series.

His ultimate sacrifice and transformation into Denji’s heart makes him a fan favorite, embodying the theme of love, sacrifice and the deep connection of human. Pochita’s character is a reminder of the power of friendship and how far we would go to protect the people we care about, he’s an essential part of the story.

Asa

Asa from Chainsaw Man Part Two is a character that fans love because of her flaws and struggles. She’s got no social skills and is so pessimistic it’s painful to watch. She’s a character we can all relate to as she navigates her relationships and the world around her. Asa will fight for others despite being selfish shows she’s growing as a character.

Her dynamic with Yoru the War Devil adds humor and depth to her story and creates an interesting contrast with their personalities. Asa’s journey is about self discovery and connection. She’s a relatable and fun addition to the cast.

Aki

Aki is one of the saddest characters in Chainsaw Man. His revenge against Gun Devil is driven by a past full of pain and sacrifice. Aki’s development from a lone wolf to a big brother to Denji and Power shows his growth and depth as he learns to open up and care for others despite his hurt.

His noble intentions and sacrifices for his friends makes him a character that’s both tragic and heroic. Aki’s struggle with his own death and his responsibilities adds to his character and becomes a source of inspiration for those around him.

Denji

Denji defies the typical Shonen protagonist with his simple wants and sad backstory. He wants food, love and companionship. His crass and blunt persona combined with him actually caring for those around him makes him a likable character.

His relationships with Pochita, Power, Aki and Nayuta shows he can love and grow, so we can root for him throughout the series. Denji’s journey from a miserable youth to a hero of sorts is inspiring and relatable as he navigates his world and tries to get a better life.

Power

Power, the Blood Fiend, is probably the most popular character in Chainsaw Man. Her loud, boisterous and often crazy personality is the comic relief and energy of the series. Despite her flaws, Power’s capacity to love, especially to Denji and Meowy, shows her deeper kind side.

Her dynamic with Aki and Denji is the emotional core of the story and her growth throughout the series from a self-serving fiend to someone who can love and sacrifice is why she’s a beloved character. Power’s ability to bring light to the dark world of Chainsaw Man makes her the most likable character in the series because she represents friendship, loyalty and the struggle for redemption.

Final Thoughts

In short, Chainsaw Man has a lot of amazing characters who despite their flaws and the dark world they live in, are relatable. Each character brings something to the table so the series is a journey of humanity, morality and relationships. As we wait for the upcoming movie and potential future seasons, these characters will continue to win our hearts and spark talk among fans.
