Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is the sequel to the 2022 Chainsaw Man TV anime, which adapts Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s supernatural action manga. Viz Media describes the Shueisha-published title as:
Denji’s a poor young man who’ll do anything for money, even hunting down devils with his pet devil Pochita. He’s a simple man with simple dreams, drowning under a mountain of debt. But his sad life gets turned upside down one day when he’s betrayed by someone he trusts. Now with the power of a devil inside him, Denji’s become a whole new man—Chainsaw Man!
The movie will premiere in Japan on September 19 JST and will also be screened internationally.
The first part of the Chainsaw Man manga ran from 2018 to 2021 in Weekly Shonen Jump. The current second part debuted on the Shonen Jump+ app and website in July 2022. There are 21 volumes as of July 2025.
