The highly-anticipated Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is gearing up for its theatrical debut, with electrifying English dubbed and subtitled trailers recently unveiled. The trailers showcase the raw intensity of the upcoming film, highlighting a pivotal chapter in the Chainsaw Man saga. Featuring Ryan Colt Levy’s gripping performance as Denji, the trailers promise a volatile mix of action, romance, and betrayal, setting the stage for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara at Studio MAPPA, the film marks a significant milestone for the Chainsaw Man franchise as it transitions from the small screen to a feature-length spectacle.

The English dubbed trailer, featuring Levy’s visceral portrayal of Denji, captures the chaotic essence of the Chainsaw Man universe, while the subtitled trailer offers fans a glimpse into the raw emotion and dynamic animation that MAPPA is known for. Both trailers tease the introduction of Reze, a mysterious and pivotal character, whose arrival signals a turning point for Denji and the story’s relentless narrative.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will first premiere in Japan on September 19, 2025, with a North American release following shortly after on October 24, 2025. The staggered release dates ensure that fans worldwide can experience the film’s high-octane action and emotional depth in theaters, a fitting evolution for a series that has captivated audiences with its bold storytelling and unapologetic intensity.
What Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is About
The Reze Arc, also known as the Bomb Girl Arc in Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original manga, is a fan-favorite storyline that follows the events of the first Chainsaw Man anime season. This arc introduces Reze, a complex and enigmatic character whose relationship with Denji deepens the series’ exploration of love, trust, and survival in a world overrun by devils. Known for its blend of tender moments and brutal confrontations, the arc escalates the stakes for Denji as he navigates new alliances and deadly threats.
The official description of the film is as follows:
For the first time, Chainsaw Man slashes his way onto the big screen in an epic, action-fueled adventure that continues the hugely popular anime series. Denji worked as a Devil Hunter for the yakuza, trying to pay off the debt he inherited from his parents, until the yakuza betrayed him and had him killed. As he was losing consciousness, Denji’s beloved chainsaw-powered devil-dog, Pochita, made a deal with Denji and saved his life. This fused the two together, creating the unstoppable Chainsaw Man . Now, in a brutal war between devils, hunters, and secret enemies, a mysterious girl named Reze has stepped into his world, and Denji faces his deadliest battle yet, fueled by love in a world where survival knows no rules.
This adaptation promises to bring the arc’s signature intensity to the big screen, amplified by MAPPA’s renowned animation quality and Yoshihara’s directorial vision. As Denji’s journey takes a darker and more emotionally charged turn, fans can expect a film that balances heart-pounding action with the series’ trademark psychological depth.
