Chainsaw Man and MHA make mre understand how important an author& #39;s reputation is when it comes to stakes, yet on two very different ways.
Fujimoto& #39;s story is bloody, with important characters dying every other arc and an unpredictability that& #39;s hard to replicate (1/5)

He doesn& #39;t shy away from killing main characters (Katana Man arc is a great example), and the story is very grim. This unorthodox method to tell his story makes it so you can& #39;t get a feel for when a character& #39;s time "has come", when their arc ends, so it& #39;s always unexpected (2/5)
...to see a character die, but you almost never doubt that it& #39;s for real and forever because we& #39;ve seen death so many times in this series.
Horikoshi& #39;s story, on the other hand, is not famous for killing off characters (in fact it& #39;s quite famous for that NOT happening...) (3/5)

While it& #39;s not 100% devoid of death, deaths are usually big moments, bookending a certain character& #39;s arc (Twice, Nighteye) or marking a crucial point in another character& #39;s journey (Curious to Toga).
That said, Hori IS known for having consequences and avoiding fake outs (4/5)
