At Jump Festa 2025, it was officially announced that the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie is scheduled to premiere “around the time of typhoon season in 2025.” This aligns with Japan’s late summer to early autumn period, typically spanning August to October.
A teaser trailer and two key visuals were released during the announcement. The film will be released in theaters across Japan.
The Reze Arc, spanning chapters 40–52, introduces Reze, a mysterious girl Denji meets during a brief respite from his chaotic life. The arc explores their relationship and adds emotional depth to the story while maintaining the action-packed intensity Chainsaw Man is known for.
One visual depicts Chainsaw Man in an intense action pose, while the other captures a serene moment between Denji and Reze at her café, reflecting the arc’s contrasting themes.
The international release date for Chainsaw Man -Reze Arc- has not been announced yet.
