The Reze Arc: What the Movie Will Cover

But Reze is not what she appears to be. She’s a foreign assassin, trained to kill Denji and steal Chainsaw Man’s heart. While the two of them are out on a date, Reze reveals she is a hybrid as well and becomes the Bomb Devil. The arc is a fan favorite for its heavy fight scenes and its character interactions.
What Is Chainsaw Man About
Chainsaw Man is a dark fantasy action series created by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The protagonist of the story is Denji, a teenage devil hunter living in poverty with a massive debt. He battles devils to settle the debt of his late father, with the help of his pet devil, Pochita. Denji was betrayed and murdered. But, upon joining Pochita, he was reborn as Chainsaw Man, a half-devil hybrid with chainsaws on his body.
From there, Denji is recruited into Public Safety, a government agency that hunts devils. Surrounded by violent devils, complex allies, and manipulative superiors, Denji’s journey is a mix of brutal battles, emotional trauma, and the desperate hope to live a better life. The first season of the anime was a resounding success, with the animation quality and the absurdness of the series making it an instant fan favorite.
But will the movie live up to the hype?
