Chainsaw Man took a poor kid, a chainsaw dog and a world where fear literally creates monsters and turned it into one of the biggest manga of its era. This Chainsaw Man trivia quiz covers Part 1 and Part 2 of Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga: Denji and Pochita's contract, Public Safety, Makima's true nature, Power and her cat, Aki's contracts, Reze, Asa Mitaka and the War Devil, and the ending. It also covers the rules of the world, how Devils and Fiends work, and the sales and awards. There are questions on the making of it too: Fujimoto's inspirations from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to Adventure Time and South Park, the MAPPA anime with its twelve different endings and Kenshi Yonezu's 'Kick Back', the voice cast, and the record-breaking Reze Arc film.
