After a three-year wait, Chainsaw Man is back with a new movie! The film adapts the next major story arc from the manga and is currently showing in Japan and other parts of Asia, where it’s been generally well-received. Many fans are saying it’s even better than the Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie, as it covers about 14 chapters of the original manga.
I’m so hyped for the new *Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc*! It’s not just continuing the story, but we’re getting some fresh faces alongside all the characters we already love. I’ve been digging through all the previews, and I wanted to share a rundown of everyone important you should know before diving in – it’ll make watching even more awesome!
10) Kobeni
Kobeni, a popular character from the first season, is returning in the new movie. Many fans feel she’s not very skilled as a Devil Hunter, but she continues in the role because it pays better than any other job, despite her obvious reluctance.
The new movie likely won’t give Kobeni a big part, but she’ll probably appear in a smaller role, maybe helping Denji during his final battle with the villain. Whether she’ll be truly useful is uncertain, but it’s still a possibility.
9) Galgali
I’m so hyped for the new Chainsaw Man movie! It’s awesome to hear that Galgali, the Violence Devil, is coming back to help Denji in the final fight against the big bad. He really made an impact when he showed up near the end of the first season – seriously, that guy is incredibly strong and a total beast in battle!
The trailers show Galgali will be in the big final fight. He won’t be a central character, similar to Kobeni, but he’ll likely provide some comic relief thanks to his funny personality. The movie might also explain why Galgali became a Devil Hunter, even though he’s a devil himself.
8) Kishibe
Kishibe was the most mysterious and one of the most powerful Devil Hunters we met in the first season of *Chainsaw Man*. While he didn’t appear much, his training of Denji and Power was crucial to their development. Although he hasn’t been featured prominently in early looks at the upcoming season, fans are still hopeful he’ll return.
In the first season, Kishibe seemed to distrust Makima. His appearance in the new movie might mean he shares previously unknown details about her, or offers a deeper understanding of the story’s villain – he’s both incredibly informed and strong, so he could be key to unraveling the mystery.
7) Angel
The new movie, The Angel Devil, will introduce Angel as a powerful Devil Hunter. Viewers first met him at the end of season one, where they saw his frightening power: he can take years off a person’s life with a touch and use that energy to create weapons.
The teasers have revealed that Power will be prominently featured alongside Aki and Denji, suggesting she’ll have a significant role. While not much is known about her background, the story will likely explore her origins. However, the most captivating part will be the relationship between Aki and Angel, especially given Aki’s strong dislike of devils throughout the *Chainsaw Man* series.
6) Power
Power was a key character in the first season of *Chainsaw Man*, so it’s no surprise she’s returning in the new movie. Viewers can likely anticipate more of her fun and unpredictable relationship with Denji and their tendency to cause trouble. However, while her appearance is confirmed, trailers haven’t shown her as much as fans were hoping for.
It seems Power will be in the movie, but likely won’t be central to the main storyline. However, her character still has the potential to grow and develop, as she’s one of the three main characters and could have her own story arc in the film.
5) Beam
A surprising standout in the recent trailers and teasers has been Beam, the Shark Fiend. He first appeared towards the end of the first season of *Chainsaw Man*, and promotional material for the movie shows Denji riding Beam in his Shark Devil form as they head into combat.
The movie *Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc* will likely focus on Denji and Beam as they face the main villain. Beam will probably appear early on and have a significant role alongside Denji, with the film potentially revealing more about his backstory. So far, Beam’s part in the movie looks important, and he could be a standout character.
4) Aki
Aki Hayakawa is a central character in the series, and he’s confirmed to return in the new movie. He’s consistently one of the most interesting characters in *Chainsaw Man*, and is quickly becoming a powerful Devil Hunter. The fact that he doesn’t have long to live adds a compelling layer to his story.
Aki is sure to be involved in the final battle, but trailers suggest he’ll be working closely with Angel. Considering Aki’s strong dislike of devils, their partnership promises an interesting dynamic. The movie might also show Aki continuing his quest to defeat the Gun Devil, and because the Bomb Devil is related to the Gun Devil, he could get closer to achieving his revenge.
3) Makima
I have to say, Makima from the first season of the anime really stood out as a mysterious figure. It quickly became clear she was a master manipulator, and it’s obvious she has some bigger plan going on that we don’t fully understand. Everything she does, especially with Denji and the others in her division, seems to be about control – using people to achieve whatever her goals are. The trailer really drove that point home; those scenes of her ‘dates’ with Denji weren’t sweet moments at all, just more ways for her to tighten her grip on him.
From the start, it was clear she was manipulative, but her incredible power also surprised viewers. The upcoming movie might explore the extent of her abilities and hint at the Devil she’s connected to. Even if she doesn’t explain things herself, Kishibe is likely to reveal important information about her, considering how cautious he is around her. Regardless, Makima will be back, and she’ll likely continue to use Denji to achieve her goals.
2) Denji
The next part of *Chainsaw Man* will continue to follow Denji, the main character, as he navigates life as a Devil Hunter without seeking power or glory. After a difficult childhood, all Denji wants is a normal life and regular meals, which he briefly achieved in the first season. Now that he’s tasted a bit of normalcy, his new goal is to find a girlfriend.
Denji’s longing for a girlfriend will lead him into trouble in the upcoming *Chainsaw Man* movie, as Reze, the villain of the story, takes advantage of his feelings. Trailers show Denji developing a crush on Reze, while jokingly complaining about always meeting women who try to kill him. Will this new relationship help Denji grow and learn something important? Find out when the movie is released later this month.
1) Reze
The next movie will center around Reze, who will be the main villain and likely overshadow Denji. The teaser revealed she’ll manipulate Denji’s feelings as part of a plan to take control of the Chainsaw Man. Like Denji, Reze is a hybrid – a human combined with a devil – and she wields the powers of the Bomb Devil. This will lead to an explosive showdown between them.
Not much is known about Reze so far, but as the main character in *Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc*, we’ll definitely learn about her past and what motivates her. Her role will likely be unexpected, and she’s shaping up to be Denji’s most challenging opponent yet, pushing him to his limits both physically and emotionally. Fans of the series can expect a thrilling experience in theaters.
