© 藤本タツキ/集英社・MAPPAThe highly anticipated Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has unveiled a new poster visual that shows Denji and Reze engaged in a fierce battle at the center, while additional cast members add to the red-toned background.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is scheduled to debut in Japan on September 19 JST and will be available for international screenings. The synopsis states:
Denji became “Chainsaw Man”, a boy with a devil’s heart, and is now part of Special Division 4’s devil hunters. Following a date with Makima, the woman of his dreams, Denji finds refuge from the rain, where he encounters Reze, a girl who works in a café.
© 藤本タツキ/集英社・MAPPAThe feature film acts as a follow-up to the 2022 Chainsaw Man TV anime, based on Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s action-packed, supernatural manga. Viz Media describes the title published by Shueisha as:
Denji’s a poor young man willing to do anything for cash, even chasing down devils with his pet devil Pochita. Living a life filled with debt, Denji’s simple dreams become a reality-altering nightmare when he is betrayed by someone close to him. Gaining the power of a devil within him, Denji transforms into a brand-new person—Chainsaw Man!
