The Chainsaw Man anime launched last year to an astounding reception, and a lot of fans are eagerly waiting for a second season. What’s interesting is, MAPPA is set to deliver a continuation of the story, but it’s going to come out in the form of a movie.
Here’s the announcement for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc:
With the show introducing us to all kinds of powers in this world like Aki and Himeno’s contracts with devils and Power being a Fiend (a Devil inside a human corpse); Reze is another Hybrid like Denji. In the manga, Reze is known as the Bomb Girl since she fused with the Bomb Devil—much like how Denji fused with Pochita.
In the manga, Reze was a Hybrid that worked with the Soviet Union, and she was sent to Japan on a mission to recover Denji’s heart. She is the main antagonist of the Bomb Girl arc in Chainsaw Man, but she also has future appearances in the manga, running into Denji from time to time.

With Denji also having all kinds of relationships from Makima to Himeno, it’s considered that Reze is the ‘true’ love interest for Denji. I won’t go into it further, but it’s safe to say fans are excited to see her make her debut in anime.
We don’t know exactly how the show will incorporate Reze in the future, but if the movie should release before the premiere of the second season, it’s very likely we could just see her as a recurring character in the anime.
As of now, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc still has no release date, but fans are hoping that we get something around the latter half of 2024.
