Chainsaw Man is now ushering in fall with its premiere anime season, and one amazing cosplay shows why fans love Aki Hayakawa! The anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s massively popular manga series has been met with just as impressive fervor as the series’ first few episodes, which have so far dedicated fans to the dark world surrounding its tragic protagonist Denji. Helping him out will be the one overseeing his progress, Aki, as their team begins to battle the terrifying devils that continue to attack humans.

Aki is supposed to be the stoic leader of Denji and Power’s wild personalities, but his appearances so far have made it clear that there’s something much deeper underneath that hasn’t been revealed yet. This is also true of his true abilities in the heat of battle, and Instagram artist @bon_cos_119 is promoting what Aki will look like when he gets into action with some perfect cosplay for the upcoming fan! Check it out:

There will be a total of 12 episodes in this first season (each with a different ending theme sequence that really hammers home the project), so now is the best time to go back and check it out before the series wraps up its big debut season.

with Chainsaw Man as such, “Denji is a teenage boy who lives with a chainsaw devil named Pochita. Because of a debt left behind by his father, he lives a life at the bottom and pays off his debt by collecting the devil’s corpses with Pochita. One day Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a pact with Pochita and is revived as ‘Chainsaw Man’ – a man with a devil’s heart.”
