Universal Studios Japan (USJ), located in Konohana Ward, Osaka, has announced its 2025 Halloween event lineup—and the highly popular collaboration with the anime Chainsaw Man is officially returning. This comeback includes four horror-themed attractions that promise to push the limits of immersive fear and excitement.

Chainsaw Man Collab Returns with Four Terrifying Attractions

The Chainsaw Man collaboration, which drew massive crowds in 2024, is back with its hit attractions and a brand-new real-world character appearance. USJ visitors will experience both visual thrills and face-to-face scares, making 2025’s Halloween season one of the most anticipated yet.

Chainsaw Man: The Chaos 4-D – Ultra-Immersive Demon Battle

Chainsaw Man × Hollywood Dream: The Ride – KICK BACK: Katana vs. Chainsaw ver.

Conclusion First: A high-speed ride featuring the intense duel between Chainsaw Man and Samurai Sword, set to the hit theme song "KICK BACK."
