Chainsaw Man season 1 took the Internet by storm in October 2022 and fans can’t seem to stop discussing the highlights. MAPPA’s superb animation has been hailed as one of the main reasons the anime has successfully become a global phenomenon.
The first season of the anime introduced a main character whose most special reason was to fight demons. These creatures threaten humanity and Denji, our hero, gets caught up in this mess. He’s accompanied by some other great characters, including Power, Makima, and Aki.
These characters and MAPPA’s breathtaking animation took viewers on a thrill ride throughout Season 1. Now, everyone is excited to witness the next chapter in Denji’s quest. Warning, manga spoilers.
Chainsaw Man: Reze movie officially announced
At Jump Festa 2024, MAPPA made the surprise announcement that Chainsaw Man will have a pre-Part 2 movie titled Chainsaw Man Movie: Reze. When the stages for Jump Festa 2024 were revealed, fans were delighted to learn that their favorite anime series had made the list — although most expected a Season 2 announcement instead of a series movie.
As the title suggests, the film will have Reze in the lead role alongside Denji. Reze is the girl who was teased in the final episode of Chainsaw Man Season 1, making viewers curious whether she will become a villain or an ally of Denji.
The film will adapt the Reze/Bomb Girl Arc that spans 12 chapters (40-52) in the manga. The story of the Bomb Girl Arc is about Reze, a girl who shows interest in Denji. However, as the story progresses, Denji realizes that she works for the Gun Demon. He also discovers that she is the Bomb Devil. Not only Denji and Reze but also Aki, Beam and Typhoon Devil will also be highlights of the Reze Arc.
The announcement also came with a short teaser featuring Reze and Denji in a romantic setting.
