The main Chainsaw Man anime trailer is 1 minute and 32 seconds long and features Himeno, Kishibe, Kobeni, and Arai alongside the four main characters. It devotes considerable time to establishing the general dispositions of each character and ends with a fight scene accompanied by the opening track of the anime, Kenshi Yonezu’s KICK BACK.

Apart from the previously disclosed voice actors for Denji, Makima, Power, and Aki, the website now lists Shiori Izawa (Shiri in Durarara!!) as Pochita, Karin Takahashi (Suika in Dr. Stone) as Kobeni, and Taku Yashiro (Vulcan in Fire Force) as Hirokazu Arai.
Popular voice actors Mariya Ise (Killua in Hunter X Hunter, Ray in The Promised Neverland) and Kenjiro Tsuda (Kento Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen, Kai Chisaki in My Hero Academia) will portray the characters Himeno and Kishibe, respectively.
