Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc Movie Unveils Explosive Poster and Trailer Ahead of September Release

The global phenomenon Chainsaw Man, which has surpassed 30 million copies sold worldwide, is set to make its big-screen debut with its first official movie adaptation, "Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc" (directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara). Ahead of its highly anticipated domestic release in September, the film has unveiled its main poster and trailer, igniting excitement among fans.

"Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc" is a battle action fantasy film that follows Denji, a boy who becomes Chainsaw Man after forming a contract with the chainsaw devil Pochita, and his explosive encounter with the mysterious girl Reze.

The newly released main poster captures Denji transformed into the chainsaw devil, commanding attention with its striking visuals. Set against the backdrop of a massive explosion, the image hints at the arrival of the "Bomb Devil," heightening anticipation for the film's intense storyline.

The movie also delves into Denji's psychological turmoil, particularly his complex relationship with the popular character Makima—a dynamic that left a lasting impression on fans of the original manga. This promises a fresh narrative where raw emotion and dynamic action collide.

With its high-intensity drama and spectacular action sequences—elements not seen in the previous series—the film is poised to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike.



The main trailer opens with Denji’s heartfelt narration: “My heart belongs only to Makima. But my body acts on its own.” As Makima and Reze appear in quick succession, the trailer teases Denji’s inner conflict. Scenes of a date with his unrequited love and his fateful meeting with the enigmatic Reze unfold, sparking curiosity about the story’s direction.

The tension peaks when, beneath a shower of fireworks, Reze kisses Denji—only for the sweet moment to twist dramatically as the Bomb Devil emerges.

The latter half of the trailer showcases explosive action sequences, amplified by Kenshi Yonezu’s original soundtrack "IRIS OUT," promising an immersive cinematic experience.

Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga, which began serialization in 2019, "Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc" follows Denji’s journey as a devil hunter after his pact with Pochita. The series is celebrated as a dark fantasy masterpiece.

The manga has won numerous accolades, including the 2020 Shogakukan Manga Award and first place in the "This Manga is Amazing!" (Men’s Edition), cementing its critical and popular acclaim.

In 2022, the TV anime adaptation produced by renowned studio MAPPA took Japan by storm. Now, with the movie focusing on the fan-favorite "Reze Arc," anticipation is at an all-time high.
