A down-on-his-luck devil hunter with a chainsaw for a heart gets tangled in a bloody battle between humanity and hell, while trying to hold onto the fragile dream of a normal life.
Set after the events of the first season, “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” adapts the Reze arc, following Denji (Kikunosuke Toya) as he meets a mysterious girl whose charm quickly turns into something far more dangerous. What begins as a fleeting romance spirals into an explosive and violent struggle that blurs the line between affection and survival.
The film is heavy on action and light on story, skimming over emotional depth in favor of relentless spectacle. Its attempt at intimacy feels thin, often cutting short just as it begins to land. This is not a jumping-on point for newcomers since it assumes complete familiarity with the source material and its world.
Visually, it is stunning. The creative blend of animation styles, especially in the frenetic battle sequences, is breathtaking and often surreal. The humor works in flashes, though it leans heavily into awkward, sexually charged jokes that capture the adolescent tone of early manhood, for better or worse.
Reze’s design and presence steal the show, eerie and captivating while genuinely menacing. Yet the story itself might have been better served as a full season where its side plots and emotional threads could have had room to grow.
As a theatrical experience, it is thrilling, loud, bloody, and stylish. But beyond its audiovisual brilliance, “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” feels more like a reward for existing fans than a complete film on its own.
