Chainsaw Man, one of the most popular new-gen anime, has captivated fans through its fascinating view of a world threatened by devils. The series follows Denji, an orphan who gains the powers of the Chainsaw Devil. Upon getting recruited by the Public Safety Devil Hunters, he works towards maintaining societal peace while uplifting his own life.

However, the world of Chainsaw Man is far from forgiving. With constant danger, death, and tragedy, Denji’s newer life will have several troubles of its own. The first season of the Chainsaw Man anime aired in the Fall 2022 season, containing 12 episodes.

Through this, it thoroughly entertained fans, leaving them highly expectant of the sequel. However, the continuation of the story took much longer than expected, with no news for several months.

Thankfully, fans have reason to rejoice, as recent updates have finally revealed several crucial details regarding the sequel of the Chainsaw Man anime. This will be made in the form of a movie, titled Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc. Here is a closer look at everything we know about it.

Chainsaw Man Reze Movie Release Information

The Chainsaw Man Reze Movie, as it is called by many fans, is set to release in Japan on September 19, 2025. The film will be distributed by Toho and will directly adapt from the Bomb Girl Arc of the manga. 

There is currently no known global release date for the movie. While anime is notorious for only releasing films several months ahead in foreign countries, fans will be hoping for that to not be the case. There are also widespread expectations for an earlier release date, especially since the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie recently announced that its global release will be close to its Japanese release.

Additionally, the movie will likely end up on Crunchyroll when it comes to OTT since they streamed the first season.

The Chainsaw Man Reze Movie adapts chapters 39 to 52 of the manga. This storyline delves into Denji’s new budding relationship with the mysterious yet bright Reze. As a seemingly innocent girl who works at a cafe, Reze instantly gains Denji’s attraction.

She teaches him about school, swimming, and enjoying the good things in life. This also sends Denji into a dilemma regarding his feelings for Makima and Reze. However, things soon take a turn when Reze is revealed to have a hidden agenda. 

Pushing Denji into yet another difficult decision, she reveals the hidden objectives of several organizations seeking Pochita, as well as the main antagonist of Chainsaw Man.

For existing fans of the Chainsaw Man anime, there is no doubt that the Reze Movie is going to be an unmissable experience. While the series has shown emotional bonding and tragedy before this, the Reze Arc takes it to a whole other level.

With a likable yet complex female lead, much-needed development for Denji, intense fights, and a heartbreaking ending, the film promises to deliver an exhilarating and memorable experience. It seems to have resolved the animation issues from the first season and is already receiving appreciation from fans. 

For those who are aiming to get into the Chainsaw Man universe, catching up till the Reze Arc will give you a perfect understanding of what’s in store. Creative devils, high-octane action sequences, and emotional storytelling are what set the series apart, and this movie is worth giving a shot.

Finally, Studio Mappa will likely add anime-original scenes to the movie to extend its runtime. They did the same with Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which served to elevate the source material. Given that the Reze Arc is only 14 chapters in the manga, it is reasonable to assume additions and changes will be made where necessary. 

Hence, manga readers also have an incentive to watch the anime and see how the studio delivers on their version of the series.

Conclusion

Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc is one of the most highly awaited anime projects of the year, and for good reason. Given the Chainsaw Man manga’s popularity and Studio Mappa’s reputation, the film is anticipated to be a spectacle unlike any other.
