On March 23, 2025, during the White Stage event at Anime Japan 2025, significant news regarding the Chainsaw Man: Reze movie was unveiled. The film is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on September 19, 2025. This announcement was accompanied by the release of 12 new character visuals for the much-anticipated movie.
Chainsaw Man: Reze Movie Announcement
Chainsaw Man, a captivating manga created by Tatsuki Fujimoto, originally began its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump before transitioning to Shonen Jump+. With its popularity soaring, the series received an anime adaptation from MAPPA, which aired from October to December 2022. Following its success, the studio has now confirmed the production of a sequel movie, titled Chainsaw Man: Reze.
The presentation at Anime Japan featured cast members Kikunosuke Toya (voice of Denji), Tomori Kusunoki (Makima), and Maaya Uchida (Angel Devil), who all expressed their excitement about the upcoming film release.
Alongside the premiere date announcement, the team shared a special visual and a 30-second teaser video that will be screened in theaters starting April 4, 2025, prior to the movie’s official release.
New Character Visuals Released
The newly released character visuals portray a fresh art style, particularly notable with the character of Reze/Bomb Girl, who can be seen blushing heavily in her promotional image. Her outfit features a black choker, a white shirt, black shorts, and stockings, all exuding a striking presence.
In her transformed state as Bomb Girl, Reze’s face takes on a bomb-like appearance reminiscent of the atomic bomb dropped over Nagasaki. Her design is further enhanced by bomb fuses suggesting sleeves on her arms, while the lower part of her apron is packed with dynamite sticks, embodying her explosive character.
The other character visuals, although showing familiar faces, exhibit alterations attributed to the new art style. For instance, Makima’s hair appears markedly different in this version, while Power’s locks have taken on a darker hue compared to their depiction in the initial anime series.
Additionally, new character visuals have been revealed for Angel Devil, Beam, and Violence Fiend. Although these characters were featured in the inaugural season, their new designs are notably more detailed and vibrant, showcasing a marked improvement in visual storytelling.
As anticipation builds, fans are hopeful for further updates on the Chainsaw Man: Reze movie and what new adventures await Denji and his companions.
