According to the bulletin, he is a young man who was traveling with three others in a compact black car.

- «Yes, yes, I know him».
- «Oh my god, it’s the Screaming Demon».
- «Mobile Suit Gundam, Bleach, very good series this season».
- «Wait, it says four people in a compact car? How did they achieve that?».
- «If you want to kidnap children, you should try SPY x FAMILY».
- «I don’t understand why you ask that, that series is not for children».
- «I hope the kids answered it: Shut up pajero!».

Summary for Chain Saw Man
The story takes place in a world where Demons threaten the peace of the people, making them targets for elimination. Denji is a depressed young man who sold some of his organs and works as a lumberjack and devil hunter to pay his late father’s debts. Denji (who is also a demon) has a dog named Pochita, who has a chainsaw and uses it to do his work.
This is explained by the fact that humans can make contracts with demons. After returning home from a job, Yakuza asks Denji to infiltrate a building and kill another demon. However, the plan to assassinate him turned out to be a trap as part of the Yakuza’s deal with the devil, which gained them more power. But Pochita comes to Denji’s aid and bails him out.
