Chainsaw Man fans can breathe easy now that they know it doesn’t take much to cosplay as Aki: All they need is a suit with a white collared shirt, a piece of paper and a healthy appetite for revenge.
There has been a plethora of impressive Chainsaw Man cosplays, with fans dedicating hours of work into editing their videos to make it look like their characters came straight out of the anime. On the flip side, fans have put their creative caps on and used whatever they had on hand to create their cosplays, with one using their rear-end to cosplay as Butt-chita. Uploaded on TikTok by Daikyo Security Company (dkykeibi_tokyo), one general manager took it to the next level with his low-budget cosplay. Instead of doing the cosplay themselves, the manager drew Aki’s eyes on a piece of paper and slapped it onto the CEO’s face, with Kenshi Yonezu’s “KICK BACK” blaring in the background. While the CEO doesn’t have the long luscious locks to pull off Aki’s topknot, he did gel part of their hair up to imitate the Devil Hunter’s hairstyle, making the resemblance uncanny.
Daikyo Security Is TikTok Famous for Its Anime Content
Known for their hilarious TikTok videos where the general manager regularly pulls pranks on the CEO, this Chainsaw Man video is the first time the CEO “got revenge,” as one comment noted, when he summoned a crudely-drawn Fox Devil to swallow the general manager up. The comment could also reference how Power and Denji did a terribly stinky thing to Aki in the anime, which might be Aki getting his revenge on the pair. The video has garnered 7.2 million views.
Aki isn’t Daikyo Security’s first foray into Chainsaw Man cosplay. Aside from Aki, the CEO has been an unwilling participant in several other cosplays, such as Denji, Makima and Power. In most of their cosplays from other anime series, the CEO just sits there blankly. Cosplaying as Denji and Power have given the CEO some remarkable powers to try to get back at the general manager, such as chainsaws and Power’s enormous Blood Hammer.
Aki’s goal in Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man is to defeat the Gun Devil, thus avenging the death of his family when the Gun Devil’s attack wiped them out. To exact his revenge, he has been killing Devils and extracting gun pieces to track the being down. There’s absolutely nothing to distract him from his goal — except he didn’t account for accidentally becoming the big brother to two chaotic Devils, Denji and Power. While Chainsaw Man is dark and gory, dealing with mature issues, Fujimoto still incorporates surprising comedy and heart through his depiction of the Hayakawa found family.
This anime season, Tuesday is Chainsaw Man day since chapters update on Viz Media and Manga Plus every Tuesday, and a new episode is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
