SuperGroupies announced new Chainsaw Man merchandise inspired by its main characters is on the way. It opened pre-orders for accessories inspired by Denji and his fellow Public Safety Devil Hunters Makima, Power, and Aki Hayakawa. The collection includes bags, watches, and wallets. They are available to pre-order until April 18, 2022. The expected shipping date is August 2022.
Each of the Chainsaw Man characters has one SuperGroupies backpack, one wallet, and watch tied to them. All of Denji’s items match his black and orange color scheme. They also often feature the phrase, “But I’m willing to die to keep living like this.” That’s part of his famous quote that begins, “Maybe I became a devil hunter for a really shallow reason.” Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil he fused with, also appears on the backpack and wallet’s tags. The backpack is ¥15,400 (~$124), the wallet is ¥12,100 (~$98), and the watch is ¥18,700 (~$151).
With Makima, all of her merchandise is red and black, occasionally with chains on them. They also feature designs that resemble the unique pattern of her eyes. Both the watch face and the wallet have the quote, “This is an order.” The backpack is ¥15,400 (~$124), the wallet is ¥12,100 (~$98), and the watch is ¥16,500 (~$133).
Next are the Power items. In addition to matching her color scheme, they also feature her phrases and pet cat Meowy. In particular, “Grovel, human” comes up often on the accessories. There are also silver accents on the backpack and wallet that look like her teeth. This backpack is ¥15,400 (~$124), the wallet is ¥12,100 (~$98) and the watch is ¥18,700 (~$151).
Finally, the Aki Chainsaw Man merchandise calls attention to his hairstyle, his cigarettes, and one of his more famous quotes as well. His watch features, “I got cold feet” on it, referencing something he said after making a decision in the manga. His cigarette appears on the back of the watch, on the clasp of the backpack, and on a tag in the wallet. The pricing of the items is in line with the others. The backpack is ¥14,300 (~$116), the wallet is ¥12,100 (~$98), and the watch is ¥16,500 (~$133).
The Chainsaw Man manga is available outside Japan from Viz Media. Its second part will start appearing in 2022. That is also when the Chainsaw Man anime will begin airing. Ahead of that, a new one-shot manga from series creator Tatsuki Fujimoto will appear.
The SuperGroupies Chainsaw Man merchandise inspired by its characters is expected to ship in August 2022.
