A lot of fans are waiting on the release of the second season of Chainsaw Man, but MAPPA is already giving fans a treat with a new movie covering the Reze arc from the manga.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is set to release next year, and a new trailer has been dropped teasing the arrival of a new love interest/adversary—the Bomb Devil. Check this out:
Here’s the official description for the movie:
Extravagant bloody battle involving love and desire, humans and devils, is coming to the big screens!
“Chainsaw Man” is a manga serialized in Shueisha’s “Shonen Jump+” that has sold over 30,000,000 copies. In 2022, the series was broadcast as a TV Anime series that was made by animation studio MAPPA (Notable works: “JUJUTSU KAISEN”, “Attack on Titan Final Season”, etc.), creating buzz all over the world.
Now in 2025, the episode that made the world go wild during its serialization is coming to theaters as an animated movie!
The official story description for the movie has also been released. It reads: Denji became “Chainsaw Man”, a boy with a devil’s heart, and is now part of Special Division 4’s devil hunters. After a date with Makima, the woman of his dreams, Denji takes shelter from the rain. There he meets Reze, a girl who works in a café.
While most of the first season had Denji pursuing a romance with Makima, Reze actually threw a curveball for the fans since she also had great chemistry with Denji. One big issue was that she was also possessed by a demon in the form of the Bomb Devil—and she’s quite capable of a lot of destruction.
Though fans should expect a lot of action and explosions that are signature to Chainsaw Man, Reze is considered to be one of the best pairings for Denji, as compared to Makima who is clearly just grooming him for control.
Hopefully the release of this movie will satiate the wait for the next season.
Catch Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc when it comes out in theatres sometime in 2025.
