In Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, Denji, the devil-hunting teenager fused with his chainsaw-wielding pet devil Pochita to become the unstoppable Chainsaw Man, navigates life as a member of Public Safety Devil Hunter Special Division 4. Amid the chaos of battling supernatural threats, Denji stumbles upon a brief moment of normalcy when he meets Reze, a charming and enigmatic girl working at a local café. What begins as a sweet, awkward romance quickly spirals into betrayal and high-stakes danger as Reze reveals her true identity as the Bomb Hybrid—a explosive devil assassin with her own deadly agenda. As hidden enemies and rival hunters close in, Denji must confront his deepest desires for love and belonging in a world where trust is a luxury and survival demands ruthless action. This adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's "Bomb Girl" arc from volumes 5-6 of the manga blends visceral gore, dark humor, and poignant emotional beats, delivering a self-contained story that expands on the themes of isolation and fleeting humanity from the first anime season.
