Today I was reminded of how awful and cruel kids can be to other kids… Dante was so proud of his costume and wore it to school for the costume contest (that he has won 2 years in a row) and a bunch of kids made fun of him, picked on him, and even ruined his costume and broke it… pic.twitter.com/0GQYoNvyY9

After Dante's father shared his son's story on Twitter, thousands of Chainsaw Man fans came out in support of the boy. In the photos, the father shows off his son's homemade cosplay, which even won the costume contest. According to the post, other children at school attacked Dante after the contest and destroyed his cosplay.
However, even Ryan Colt Levy, Denji 's American voice actor , sent a message of support. Like the fans, he praised the boy for his work and encouraged him not to give up. All this support moved Dante and helped him regain his composure after the incident.
Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where demons are born from human fears. While they are generally dangerous and malevolent, humans can form contracts with demons to harness some of their power. Denji is a depressed young man trying to repay his late father's debt to the yakuza by selling several of his organs and working as a demon hunter. But Denji also has a small pet demon named Pochita, who assists him in his work.
Tatsuki Fujimoto launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in December 2018, concluding the first arc in December 2020 with 11 volumes. Now the manga continues with its sequel through a new story and a different protagonist, Mitaka Asa, a student who attends the same high school as Denji.
