The dark, violent anime series The Chainsaw Man is returning with new action and drama. The series that blew our minds with its violent sequences and plot took fans into a realm of the dark and gloomy city of Tokyo, was something that became an overnight fan favorite. The creation of Tatsuki Fujimoto comprises 12 episodes that already came out in 2022, and with the production of Reze Arc buzzing around, fans are fascinated to know what next will be featured in the horror comedy.
Let’s get into the details of the upcoming movie.
Chainsaw Man Movie- Reze Arc: Who is Reze?
As the first season was a raging success, the makers announced a movie featuring the backdrop of Reze. One of the antagonists of the horror comedy, instead of opting for another episodic thriller like the first, the makers are giving the bomb girl the center stage. It is said to cover chapters 40 to 52 of the comic.
What we know from the comics is, that Reze appears to be a purple-haired girl who is a devil. She is a hybrid of a human and an atomic bomb. Missioned to steal the heart of Chainsaw Man, aka Denji, she disguises Gun Devil agent. She appears to have an interest in Denji but is solely dedicated to stealing the heart.
If this is set to happen in the movie, we might witness some breathtaking action next year. The character offers more than what we can anticipate now.
