In Chainsaw Man, the “good guys” primarily include the members of the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a group dedicated to combating dangerous devils. Key figures like Denji, the enthusiastic and determined protagonist who merges with his pet devil Pochita to become Chainsaw Man, bring a unique blend of resilience and humor to the team. Makima, the enigmatic and powerful figure, plays a crucial role in guiding and manipulating the hunters, while Aki, with his serious demeanor and tragic past, provides a contrast with his unwavering dedication to eradicating devils.
