Hardcore fans claim they didn't like the dubbing in a specific part of the anime.
In the overall context, the original phrase from a scan that resulted in the removal of the dubbed version was the line from the Future Demon, " The future is awesome! The future is awesome! ", which was the reason for the dispute. In the scan, we can read " The future is awesome, " which became popular on the internet, meaning it's not an official translation by the publisher Shueisha .
In the anime's dubbing, the adaptation was " The future is awesome! ", something much lighter and that wouldn't cause problems. However, this same group that criticized Panini decided to attack Guilherme Briggs. The reason: the voice actor tried to explain on social media why the adaptation was made, in the same way that the phrase in the scan would be bad for the official material.

Therefore, due to the attacks, Guilherme Briggs decided to withdraw from the Chainsaw Man dubbing team.
Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where demons are born from human fears. Although they are generally dangerous and malevolent, humans can make contracts with demons to use a portion of their power. Denji is a depressed young man trying to pay off his deceased father's debt to the yakuza by selling several of his organs and working as a demon hunter.
