Following the massive success of ‘Chainsaw Man’ season 1 in 2022, MAPPA surprised fans by announcing a film adaptation of the ‘Reze Arc,’ one of the most beloved storylines from the manga. Instead of immediately moving forward with a second season, the studio chose to continue Denji's journey on the big screen, bringing this action-packed arc to life in a cinematic format. 

This decision might seem unexpected for those who haven't been keeping up, but manga readers know that the ‘Reze Arc’ is filled with high-stakes battles and intense drama. Here’s everything you need to know about ‘Chainsaw Man- The Movie: Reze Arc’ and what to expect from this highly anticipated film.

‘Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’: Release Date

During the AnimeJapan event, it was officially confirmed that ‘Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc’ will hit Japanese cinemas on September 19, 2025.
