About

Thank You… Chainsaw Man refers to a page from chapter 232 of the Chainsaw Man manga series, the final chapter, in which the character Asa thanks Denji (Chainsaw Man) after he saves her from losing her balance and tripping, with Denji showing confusion as to why she called him "Chainsaw Man." The page went viral after the chapter's March 24th, 2026, release, as people edited it to create parodies, which insert other popular characters into the scene and have someone call the protagonist of the given series by the name of their series. The format is similar to the Say That Again meme.

Origin

On March 24th, 2026, the final chapter of the manga series Chainsaw Man was released.^[1] Near the end of the chapter, Asa trips and nearly falls to the ground, but Denji catches her. She says, "Th-thank you… Chainsaw Man." Denji, confused and surprised, responds, "Chainsaw man?" Asa explains, "Because um… you were fighting with a chainsaw." Denji says, "Oh yeah."
