Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (2025): Cast, Plot, Release Date, Review & Where to Watch – Love, Betrayal, and Blood on the Big Screen 🔪❤️🎬

Everyone’s after his chainsaw heart.

For the very first time, Chainsaw Man is slicing his way into theaters with Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. Set to premiere in Japan on September 19, 2025, and worldwide from October 24, 2025, this dark fantasy action spectacle brings one of the manga’s most heartbreaking arcs to life. Produced by MAPPA and distributed by Toho and Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures Releasing, the film promises an unforgettable blend of romance, betrayal, and violent carnage.

🔥 As Makima whispers, “You’re special, Denji.” But in this story, Denji learns that love can cut deeper than any chainsaw.

🌪️ The Story So Far: Chainsaw Man’s Rise

Before we dive into Reze, let’s rewind. Denji was once a poor boy burdened with his father’s debt to the yakuza. After betrayal led to his gruesome death, Denji was resurrected when his loyal devil-dog Pochita merged with him, turning him into the infamous Chainsaw Man. From then on, his chainsaw roar became the sound of survival in a world crawling with devils and hunters.

The Reze Arc picks up right after Season 1 of the anime. Following a date with Makima, Denji meets Reze, a mysterious girl who seems to bring warmth and hope into his violent life. But Reze is no ordinary girl—her secrets could tear Denji’s world apart, both emotionally and literally.

💔 The Reze Arc: Romance Meets Ruin

At its core, the Reze Arc is a twisted love story. Denji, desperate for affection, is drawn to Reze’s charm. Their rain-soaked meeting feels almost fated, with café smiles masking darker truths.

But soon, love turns lethal. Reze is revealed to be tied to forces that threaten not only Denji but the fragile balance between devils and humanity. In a film where explosions, betrayals, and bloodshed dominate, it’s Denji’s heart—not just his chainsaws—that’s on the line.

As Reze whispers, “Do you want to run away with me?” the question haunts not only Denji but every fan watching.
