Chainsaw Man
The plush is cute. The series it comes from is not.

The Pochita trap – say it before buying
It is the single most important thing in this category.
Pochita is a small orange creature with round eyes. The plush toys and keyrings look exactly like a children's toy.
The series, however, is among the most violent there is. It has extreme scenes, dark humour and themes that are in no way aimed at children.
It happens often: someone sees a cute orange plush, buys it for a young child, and has no idea where it comes from.
And yet Pochita is also the best answer
The same thing is both the trap and the solution – depending on who is receiving it.
No. It is not about the plush – it is about what the child looks up afterwards.
The safest choice. He is the best-loved character and works on a desk or a shelf.
In practice: if you know the recipient is an adult fan of the series, Pochita is the ideal gift. If it is a child who simply saw something cute, something from another category is better.
The right watch order – many have missed it
The first season ended in 2022. Many stopped there and do not know the story continued.
Because the continuation did not come as a second season – it came as a film, in 2025.
The film passed one hundred and seventy million dollars and was among the most successful anime films ever made.
And since April 2026 it has been on streaming too – subtitled and dubbed.
So anyone who missed it in cinemas can watch it now – and it is the correct continuation after the first season.
The order: first season → the film → the second season when it arrives.
Where the story stands
The second season has no date. A trailer was shown in early 2026 and the part of the story it will cover was announced – but nothing more.
Worth knowing before waiting for something that has not been scheduled.
The manga, however, continues normally – it is already in its second part.
For someone who has watched the season and the film and wants to keep going, the manga is the natural next step – and it is far ahead of what the screen has shown.
What to choose
- Pochita plush: the strongest line – for an adult fan.
- Figures: Denji, Power and Makima are the most requested.
- Manga: continues far beyond the screen.
- Apparel: adult sizes – mind the designs, some are strong.
- Posters & art prints: Fujimoto's artwork is highly distinctive.
- Keyrings & accessories: affordable gifts.
The safest choice for an adult fan: a Pochita plush. He is the best-loved character, there is no version to get wrong, and he sits on a desk without drawing attention.
Same audience: Jujutsu Kaisen, Solo Leveling and Attack on Titan.
