Japanese YouTuber recreates ‘Chainsaw Man’ opening using ‘Animal Crossing’
Mashing-up one of the season’s goriest anime with a mellowed-out island sandbox video game might seem like an odd combination, but that’s exactly what one YouTube creator set out to do.
On Friday, Twitter user @yo_dakun shared the thumbnail for a video from his YouTube channel Iyo-kun's Atsumori Island, which recreates the opening sequence for “Chainsaw Man” frame-by-frame in the Nintendo Switch game “Animal Crossing: New Horizons.”
The creator has reproduced a number of anime openings with the game’s cutesey chibi style, including the first opening sequence of 2013’s “Attack on Titan.”
The popularity of “Chainsaw Man” has been bolstered by its electric opening, which even caught the attention of eagle-eyed cinephiles who spotted a litany of references to some of the most iconic films of the past few decades.

On Friday, Twitter user @yo_dakun shared the thumbnail for a video on his YouTube channel Iyo–kun’s Atsumori Island which meticulously recreates the opening sequence for “Chainsaw Man” frame-by-frame on the Nintendo Switch smash-hit “Animal Crossing: New Horizons.”
Iyo-kun used some creative work-arounds for the opening’s distinct and graphic content, from swapping a towering devil with a giant-sized Isabelle to recreating Power’s revealing two-piece with a bikini shirt.
