The official accounts of the anime also announced that the Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, which adapts the manga’s Bomb Girl arc, will be released across 61 IMAX theaters in Japan on 19 September. A new special key visual starring protagonist Denji and the Shark Devil Beam has also been released to commemorate the IMAX release.
Ryu Nakayama was the director of the Chainsaw Man series at MAPPA, which aired in 2022. One of the episode directors from the series, Tatsuya Yoshihara, is directing the upcoming Reze Arc movie at the same studio. Hiroshi Seko returns from the series to write the scripts, while Kazutaka Sugiyama continues to design the characters. The anime series and upcoming movie is based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s popular manga of the same name which you can read on Viz Media in English. Crunchyroll streams the Chainsaw Man anime globally and describes the story as:
Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita.
One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as "Chainsaw Man" — a man with a devil's heart.
