The Universal Studios Japan (USJ) X (formerly known as Twitter) account teased an upcoming collaboration with Chainsaw Man. More information on it will appear at a later date.
There aren’t many details about the event. It features a person whose face is mutating into a more monstrous maw trying to get at a person whose hand is turning into a chainsaw. The artwork of the hand and the chainsaw is a match to Denji’s arm in promotional materials of Chainsaw Man. So while chainsaws in horror fiction are a very staple trope, it is more than likely that this will be a Chainsaw Man event.
Universal Studios Japan often runs limited time events and collaborations with other intellectual properties. For example, it had several collaborations with Resident Evil and Demon Slayer. Usually, if you go to the theme park during the event, you’ll be able to order limited time menus from an exclusive menu, as well as enjoy themed rides. These rides tend to involve an indoor roller coaster that takes you on an adventure based on the work, complete with newly recorded lines from the voice actors. You’ll watch scenes that are projected on a screen while the coaster shakes or otherwise imitates action.
Chainsaw Man is readily available for streaming via services such as Crunchyroll. More information on the USJ Chainsaw Man collaboration event will appear later.
