Chainsaw Man Movie Reveals Theme Song, New Cast Additions

Chainsaw Man: The Reze Arc Movie” is one of the two significant anime films set to premiere this year, alongside “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle.” At the ongoing Anime Expo in Los Angeles, California, the film unveiled its most substantial update yet – an action-packed trailer filled with thrilling glimpses. This latest preview includes the new opening theme for “Reze Arc,” further fueling fan anticipation for the movie’s cinematic debut. Additionally, renowned voice actors have been brought on board to augment the film’s already stellar cast.

Reze Arc is the full-length movie sequel to the hugely popular first season of Chainsaw Man. This anime series, adapted from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga, debuted in 2022 and received Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year award the year after. The 12-episode season, produced by studio MAPPA, stirred up some debate among manga fans due to certain stylistic alterations. However, less devoted anime enthusiasts thoroughly enjoyed Denji’s self-centered journey to seize life fully and, let’s admit it, experience a touch on a breast.

Reze Arc Reveals a Bonkers OP That Fans Will Love

Apart from the exceptional animation by MAPPA, intricate character development, and pulse-pounding action, one standout aspect of Chainsaw Man‘s debut season was its opening theme. “Kick Back,” by Kenshi Yonezu, became the emblematic song for the Fall 2022 anime lineup. Now, as we move into the Reze Arc, there’s a significant challenge for the new OP to live up to its predecessor. However, snippets of the new track heard in the trailer have a very promising sound.

MAPPA chose to stick with what works by inviting Kenshi Yonezu once more to compose the opening theme for Reze Arc. This time, his new track titled “Iris Out” will debut when the movie hits US theaters on October 29th.

After the unveiling of the trailer, Yonezu expressed his excitement for another musical collaboration with “Chainsaw Man”. He said, “I feel incredibly honored to extend my musical contributions from the TV series to the movie. I spent countless hours studying the Reze scenes from the manga, keeping them close as I worked on the song. I hope everyone will enjoy it.
