The Chainsaw Man hype train is back—and it’s speeding straight into theaters this fall with Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. If you thought the anime’s first season was intense, get ready for a ride that’s darker, deeper, and more explosive than ever.
When's It Dropping?
Mark your calendars: the movie premieres in Japan on September 19, 2025, with a worldwide rollout starting September 24. U.S. fans won’t have to wait too long either—October 29, 2025, is when Denji and Reze bring the chaos to American screens, thanks to Sony Pictures' global distribution deal.
What’s It About?
This film adapts one of the most emotionally charged arcs from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s legendary manga—the “Bomb Girl” arc. Denji meets Reze, a seemingly sweet girl working at a café, and for a brief moment, it feels like peace might be possible. But this is Chainsaw Man we're talking about—nothing stays normal for long.
What begins as a tender connection soon spirals into a storm of deception, heartbreak, and insane fight scenes. Reze isn’t who she seems, and her secrets could turn Denji’s world upside down… again.
Why the Movie Format?
Instead of cramming this powerful arc into a season, Studio MAPPA made the bold (and smart) choice to turn it into a standalone film. And it makes sense—the emotional weight, the cinematic battles, the slow-burning romance turned tragedy… this story deserves the big screen.
Meet the Team
The dream team is back:
- Tatsuya Yoshihara returns as director, bringing that same gritty, kinetic energy.
- Hiroshi Seko handles the script again.
- Kazutaka Sugiyama’s character designs? Still fire.
- And Kensuke Ushio’s music? Expect goosebumps.
MAPPA isn’t playing around. They’re treating this film like the major event it is.
Who's Voicing Who?
- Kikunosuke Toya is back as Denji—chainsaw in hand and heart on his sleeve.
- And introducing Reina Ueda as Reze, the mysterious girl with a smile that hides a ticking time bomb.
Why Fans Are Losing Their Minds
Fans have been begging for this arc to be adapted ever since the first season dropped. It's one of the most beloved storylines for a reason—it’s equal parts heart-wrenching and badass. Expect viral clips, memes, and possibly a few emotional breakdowns. (You’ve been warned.)
Final Thoughts?
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc isn’t just another anime film—it’s an experience. Whether you’re a manga reader or a first-time viewer, this arc is a must-watch. It's love, loss, explosions, and a whole lot of chainsaw action.
