Plot
The story is set in a world where Devils, born from human fears, cause harm to humans, who seek to exterminate them. Humans can also make deals with devils. Denji is a young, depressed man who is attempting to pay back his deceased father's debt to the yakuza by selling several of his organs and working as a devil hunter. Denji also owns a dog called Pochita, who is actually a devil that resembles a chainsaw and assists Denji in his work. Denji is tasked by the Yakuza to kill a devil, but discovers that to be a plot by the Yakuza to make money by having the devil kill Denji. Denji is killed by the devil, and Pochita severely injured, but the two had previously made a deal that allows Pochita to merge with Denji, reviving him as a human-devil hybrid with Pochita's chainsaw ability. Denji kills the devil that killed him, and is then approached by a team of governmental devil hunters. As he has now partly become a devil, one of the teams' members persuades Denji to become a part of their organization, to avoid being hunted by them.
Characters
Denji (デンジ)
A young man (self-proclaimed to be 16 years old) with scruffy blond hair. He has sharp yellowish-brown eyes with bags underneath and sharp teeth to match. As a young boy, he inherits his father's debt from the yakuza upon his father's death. After meeting the Chainsaw Devil Pochita, he becomes a Devil Hunter for the yakuza in an attempt to clear his debt. After the yakuza, which were under the control of a Devil, betray him, he dies, and Pochita becomes his heart, fulfilling a contract with Denji - by becoming his heart Denji will show Pochita his dreams of a normal life. After this, he can transform into the devil-human hybrid known as Chainsaw Man by pulling the cord on his chest. After meeting Makima, he becomes a Public Safety Devil Hunter in order to live as a human. His primary motivation is his attraction to Makima.
Makima (マキマ)
A mysterious woman who appears to be in her twenties. She is a Public Safety Devil Hunter, who took Denji as her human pet. Makima is cunning and manipulative, controlling Denji with promises of a romantic and sexual relationship while threatening him with extermination if he disobeys her. For much of the story, her goals are unknown and her allegiance to humanity is somewhat ambiguous. She is later revealed to be the Control Devil which embodies the fear of control, and seeks to use Chainsaw Man's power to create a world without suffering. After being killed by Denji, she was reborn as a child called Nayuta (ナユタ), and was placed to be raised by Denji to become a better person than she was as Makima.
Aki Hayakawa (早川アキ, Hayakawa Aki)
A Public Safety Devil Hunter, working under Makima's special squad. He has a contract with the Curse Devil and Future Devil, allowing him to use a powerful spike in exchange for his lifespan and see a few seconds into the future. He had former contract with the Fox Devil, allowing him to summon its head. Aki is usually a very stoic person, acting mature and dependable when he is with his fellow Devil hunters, but is very soft whenever he is alone. Despite his clashes with them, he actually cares about Denji and Power seeing both of them as dear friends, and is willing to sacrifice himself for them. He is killed while protecting Makima and possessed by the Gun Devil, thus became the Gun Fiend, which Denji is forced to kill. Later, it is revealed that Makima planned to have him killed as part of her plan to break Denji.
Power (パワー, Pawā)
A Blood Fiend and a Public Safety Devil Hunter who is part of Makima's special squad. Power looks like a young woman with pinkish hair that reaches down to her mid-back. As a fiend, she has light red horns protruding from the top of her head. Power loves violence and is childish, greedy, and almost entirely self-motivated, willing to lie, hurt, and cheat for her own satisfaction. Power cares deeply for her cat, Meowy, at one point willing to sacrifice Denji's life to save him from the Bat Devil. She cares deeply for Denji and Aki, her first true friends. She is later killed by Makima in front of Denji, as part of her plan to break Denji by giving him happiness and then taking it away from him. Power revives as the Blood Devil from Denji's blood, but is fatally wounded by Makima again. Before she dies, Power makes a contract with Denji - in exchange for her blood, she asks Denji to find the reborn Blood Devil and turn her back into Power so that they may be friends again.
Kobeni Higashiyama (東山コベニ, Higashiyama Kobeni)
A young woman with an unnamed contract who was a Public Safety Devil Hunter who started as a new recruit working under Makima's experimental squad. Despite her timid and cowardly attitude, she is skillful and talented - her reflexes and stealth are second to none when she is motivated.
Pochita (ポチタ)
The Chainsaw Devil who merged with Denji, and was originally the Chainsaw Man himself prior to meeting Denji. He has the ability to eat a devil and erase their existence, making him "the devil that devils fear most". He first appears in his dog form, actually his weakened state after a fight with the four horsemen and weapon devils. His true devil form is a large, darker version of Denji’s hybrid form with four arms.
Kishibe (岸辺)

Angel Devil (天使の悪魔, Tenshi no Akuma)
A humanoid Devil embodying the fear of angels. Appearing as an enigmatic androgynous young man, he holds no particular malice against humans, but enjoys seeing them suffer. He is partnered with Aki after Himeno's death and is regarded as the second-strongest Public Safety agent, but his laziness holds him back.
Beam (ビーム, Bīmu)
The Shark Fiend, who can "swim" through nearly anything and transform into a more monstrous form. He is wild enthusiastic and unstable. He is partnered with Denji, whom he worships. He later sacrifices himself to revive Denji during the battle with the Darkness Devil in Hell.
Katana Man/Samurai Sword (サムライソード, Samurai Sōdo)
The grandson of the yakuza boss who had Denji and Pochita killed, and an agent of the Gun Devil. Like Denji, he is a human-devil hybrid with the heart of the Katana Devil, able to transform into his hybrid form by removing his hand, causing a katana to emerge from the stump. His real name is unknown.
Reze (レゼ)
A girl with a crush on Denji who works at a cafe. She is later revealed to be a hybrid with the Bomb Devil, able to transform by pulling a plug on her neck which she hides with a choker, and a Soviet spy sent to kill Denji.
Santa Claus (サンタクロース, Santa Kurōsu)
One of the assassins sent after Denji. Introduced as an elderly German man contracted with the Hell Devil, it is revealed later on that Santa Claus is multiple people, the real body being a Russian woman referred to as "master" by her pupil Tolka, who she also turns into a body for her. The master has a contract with the Doll Devil, and she has the ability to turn people into dolls under her control, which become part of the Santa Claus hivemind. She enacts a plot to send Denji and several hunters to Hell as sacrifices to the Darkness Devil in exchange for power to kill Makima. She gains this power, but is defeated by an on-fire Denji.
Quanxi (クァンシ, Kuanshi)
A Chinese devil hunter and one of the assassins sent to take Denji's heart. She is a lesbian and is in a polyamorous relationship with four female Fiends. She is a hybrid with an unnamed Devil that gives her the power of crossbows. According to Santa Claus, she is the "first devil hunter". She is beheaded by Makima, but later revived by her along with Reze and Katana Man to fight the Chainsaw Man.
Darkness Devil (闇の悪魔, Yami no Akuma)
An unfathomably powerful Devil representing the primal fear of darkness, residing in Hell.
Gun Devil (銃の悪魔, Jū no Akuma)
One of the most powerful and feared Devils in existence. Thirteen years before the story begins, a mass shooting and terrorist attack occurred in America, causing the Gun Devil to be born from the fear of guns. It attacked the world, killing 1.2 million people in under five minutes before vanishing. It is later revealed that the governments of several countries have formed contracts with the Gun Devil, and the president of the United States summons it to kill Makima. Makima defeats it, but it kills Aki and possesses him, turning him into the Gun Fiend. It later dies at the hand of Denji.

Now that I have your attention. Basic stupid crossover premise.

Equestria Girls go to Japan after they graduated Canterlot High. Devils trap them in an interdimensional maze inside their hotel. They encounter Japan's top Devil Hunter and the last surviving member of Japan's Public Safety's Devil Extermination Special Division 4 (Yes ChainsawMan is technically a Japanese Government Agent and has a government salary.) Also known by his actual name Denji.

Denji saves them by carefully slicing the Devils that entrapped the interior of the hotel. Once he gets them out despite being very afraid of him the Humane 7 try to say thankyou to Denji but he brushes them off telling them that "Rescuing civilians is just another day in the job." This is that despite Denji normally being appreciative of civilians being thankful for his work he is still dealing with the emotions brought upon by Makima's actions and the death of all of his friends, and has become weary of women even if he did declare at one point that he would sleep with plenty for women after realizing that the many Civilians he has saved in Tokyo see him as a hero. (He hasn't been on a single date despite public hero status since Makima the Control Devil nearly ended the world.)
