As its title suggests, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will focus on the Reze Arc of the manga. The Reze Arc is part of the Public Safety Saga of Chainsaw Man, a.k.a. the first chapter in the series, and as such, will pick up from where season one left off. The first season of the show adapted the first four arcs of the saga, ending to coincide with Chapter 38.
In the manga, the Reze Arc begins in Chapter 39 and centers on a girl named Reze. Reze, who’s voiced by Reina Ueda in the movie, actually had a small cameo in the last episode of season one, teasing her bigger role in the next chapter. Reze first appears as Denji’s new romantic interest — but he soon finds out she’s after more than it initially seems.
To coincide with the movie’s announcement, MAPPA released the first teaser for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc in December 2023. The teaser, which you can watch above, gives us a glimpse into Denji and Reze’s relationship.
Is there a trailer for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc?
There is, indeed. MAPPA put out the second teaser for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc in December 2024, and the new video serves as the movie’s first proper trailer. The trailer begins with Reze asking Denji a mouse question, mirroring her cameo in the last scenes of season one. We then see Makima asking Denji out on a date, to his rejoice. Torn between the two, the teaser then completely changes, teasing more action and chaos. You can watch it for yourself, with English subtitles, below.
When is Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc coming out?
MAPPA has confirmed that Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will premiere theatrically in 2025, though a specific date is yet to be announced. The movie is expected to premiere first domestically in Japan before making its way to the rest of the world. Much like other anime movies, you can expect Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will likely have a theatrical run before eventually making its way to streaming.
Will we get Chainsaw Man season 2 after Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc?
