Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc (2025)

}}

{{nihongo|Chainsaw Man|チェンソーマン|Chensō Man|lead=yes}} is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Its first arc was serialized in Shueisha's Shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2018 to December 2020; its second arc began serialization in Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ app and website in July 2022. Its chapters have been collected in 20 {{Transliteration|ja|tankōbon}} volumes as of April 2025.

Chainsaw Man follows the story of Denji, an impoverished teenager who makes a contract that fuses his body with that of Pochita, the dog-like Chainsaw Devil, granting him the ability to transform parts of his body into chainsaws. Denji eventually joins the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a government agency focused on fighting against Devils whenever they become a threat to Japan. The second arc of the story focuses on Asa Mitaka, a high school student who enters into a contract with Yoru, the War Devil, who forces her to hunt down Chainsaw Man in order to reclaim what he had stolen from her.

In North America, the manga is licensed in English by Viz Media, for both print and digital release, and it is also published by Shueisha on the Manga Plus online platform. An anime television series adaptation produced by MAPPA was broadcast from October to December 2022. An anime film, titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, is set to premiere in September 2025.

By December 2024, the manga had over 30 million copies in circulation, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. In 2021, it won the 66th Shogakukan Manga Award in the {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} category and won the Harvey Awards in the Best Manga category from 2021 to 2023. Chainsaw Man has been overall well received by critics, who have commended its storytelling, characters, dark humor, and have particularly highlighted its violent scenes within the context of the story.

Synopsis

= Setting =

The series is set in 1997, in an alternate timeline where the Soviet Union still exists. {{nihongo4|Devils|悪魔|Akuma}} are born from human fears. {{nihongo4|Devil Hunters|デビルハンター|Debiru Hantā}} specialize in hunting them and often make contracts with them in exchange for power. Devils possess the ability to reincarnate; when Devils die on Earth, they reincarnate in Hell, and vice versa. However, when a Devil is eaten by the Chainsaw Devil, the fear associated with it is erased from human memory; the Holocaust, AIDS, and nuclear weapons were collectively forgotten.

== Part 1: Public Safety Arc ==

Denji is a teenager trapped in poverty, working off his deceased father's debt to the yakuza by working as a Devil Hunter, aided by Pochita, his canine companion and the Chainsaw Devil. Denji is betrayed by the yakuza, who kill him for a contract with the Zombie Devil. Pochita makes a contract with Denji, merging with him as a Devil-human hybrid, under the condition that Denji live out his modest dreams of living a basic life such as having bread with jam, or falling in love with a woman and being intimate with one. By pulling on a cord in his chest, Denji then becomes Chainsaw Man and massacres the yakuza.

In the aftermath, Denji joins a team of governmental Devil Hunters, the Public Safety Division, led by Makima, who assigns him to kill the Gun Devil. After being paired with a more experienced Devil Hunter named Aki Hayakawa, Denji begins training with his partner, Power the Blood Fiend, under the veteran Devil Hunter Kishibe. Together, they fight several enemies who seek Denji's power, including the yakuza, other Devils, and assassins sent by various countries.

Makima is later revealed to be the Control Devil, who is ultimately seeking to control Pochita, as he has the power to erase concepts from existence by consuming their Devils. The Gun Devil—whose body had secretly been divided among several countries as a superweapon—is sent by the United States to kill Makima, but she defeats it, forcing it to enter Aki's body as the Gun Fiend, whom Denji kills in self-defense. Makima later kills Power in front of Denji, rendering him catatonic and forcing Pochita to take over his body.

Kishibe organizes a raid to rescue Denji alongside cowardly Public Safety operative Kobeni Higashiyama. With their help and the last of Power's blood, Denji kills Makima. Some time later, Kishibe places the reborn Control Devil—a little girl named Nayuta—in Denji's care. In a dream, Pochita thanks Denji for showing him his dreams, and encourages him to live his life to the fullest. Denji begins attending high school while also fighting Devils as a vigilante.

== Part 2: School Arc ==

Asa Mitaka is a socially withdrawn high school student who enters a contract with the War Devil Yoru after losing her mother to the Typhoon Devil. This pact grants Yoru partial control over Asa's body in exchange for pursuing Chainsaw Man. While Asa seeks to dissolve their agreement following their victory over the Typhoon Devil, Yoru secretly plans to use their connection to resurrect the Nuclear Weapons Devil. At the same high school, Denji maintains a dual existence as both a student and Chainsaw Man while caring for Nayuta, the reincarnated Control Devil. His attempts to publicly reveal his identity are consistently thwarted by Hirofumi Yoshida, a government operative. When Yoshida orchestrates a meeting between Asa and Denji, she dismisses his claims of being Chainsaw Man. The situation grows more complex when a Chainsaw Man impostor kills Asa's friend Yuko.

The "Famine Devil", operating under the alias Fami, manipulates events behind the scenes to alter Nostradamus' prophecy and prevent the emergence of the Death Devil, while Nayuta focuses on ordinary school life. After surviving an attack by the Falling Devil—an encounter interrupted by both Denji and the impostor—Denji and Nayuta are captured by Yoshida's organization. Meanwhile, the Chainsaw Man Church emerges, secretly controlled by Fami and promoting their own Chainsaw Man impostor.

The Chainsaw Man Church, operating under Fami's direction, unveils their imposter Chainsaw Man. Fami clarifies that the apparent contradiction between Yoru's mission to kill Chainsaw Man and Asa's wish to protect him resolves through the existence of two versions—Denji as the current "red" Chainsaw Man and Pochita's original "black" form. This dual nature allows both objectives to be pursued simultaneously. Barem Bridge, a key Church member, discloses their group's contract with the Fire Devil, which enables members to assume Chainsaw-like forms. These Chainsaw zombies transform and attack the public at random. Their strategy involves instigating worldwide conflict using the zombies to empower both Yoru and Chainsaw Man for the coming confrontation with the Death Devil.

After Barem destroys Denji's apartment and kills his pets, Nayuta appears to sacrifice herself. Denji's subsequent vengeful outburst leads to his imprisonment at the Tokyo Devil Detention Center, where authorities harvest his body parts. Following his rescue and reconstruction by Asa/Yoru and Fami, Barem presents what appears to be Nayuta's severed head, triggering another transformation from Denji. Public Safety attempts to exploit Chainsaw Man's unique ability to restore devoured concepts, planning to contract with the Aging Devil to eliminate mortality. Denji counters by trapping the Aging Devil in its own domain. Yoshida presents Denji with an ultimatum—allow Yoru to transform him into a weapon to combat the Death Devil in exchange for his eventual execution, while also disclosing Public Safety's role in Nayuta's fate. Disillusioned by their actions, Asa, Yoru, and Denji sever ties with the organization.

Now armed with the Gun and Tank devils as prosthetic limbs, Yoru proposes an alternative bargain: if Denji defeats the Death Devil, she will grant him a sexual relationship with Asa; if he fails, she will forcibly convert him into a weapon. Asa reveals her dual personalities to Denji and cautions that Yoru's shifting motives could inadvertently hasten the prophecy's fulfillment rather than prevent it. The pair begin to practice hedonistic destruction of Tokyo using Yoru's prosthetics, deciding to "have fun" during the Chainsaw zombie apocalypse until Death arrives, which they believe to be months away.

Meanwhile, a seemingly timid high school student is confronted by the impostor Chainsaw Man. Though initially outmatched, she unveils her true identity as the Famine Devil, Fami. The true Death Devil, "Fami", subsequently arrives, subduing both the real Fami and the impostor Chainsaw before commanding them to unleash an "abyss of terror" upon humanity alongside the Falling Devil, thus setting the prophecy into motion. Yoru and Denji encounter Fami and the impostor and battle them.

Production

Despite the series' violence and dark humor, Tatsuki Fujimoto always wanted to serialize in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but he had the feeling that his work would be "buried" if he had made a "Jump-like manga", so he tried to retain much of his individuality as a creator while making only the structure and characters Jump-like. Fujimoto also said that, despite its success in the magazine, he wanted to write the second part of the series on Shōnen Jump+, because he wanted to do a completely different series from the first part. According to him, there is not much of a difference in working between Weekly Shōnen Jump and Shōnen Jump+, explaining that there were a few depictions that got stopped during the rough draft stage, but he was allowed to do anything he wanted regarding the logic of the story.{{cite web|last=Dupree|first=Nicholas|title=Interview: Chainsaw Man Creator Tatsuki Fujimoto|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2021-04-21/chainsaw-man-creator-tatsuki-fujimoto/.171315|website=Anime News Network|access-date=April 21, 2021|date=April 21, 2021|archive-date=April 21, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210421130053/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/2021-04-21/chainsaw-man-creator-tatsuki-fujimoto/.171315|url-status=live}}

Fujimoto said that he took inspiration from various works. During the serialization of Chainsaw Man, Fujimoto said that he was too busy, but he watched as many new things as he could and borrowed various elements from what he saw. On Twitter, he stated that he was a fan of the 2016 film trilogy Kizumonogatari, and that the trilogy's final battle, shown in Part 3: Reiketsu, inspired the final battle of the first part of Chainsaw Man.{{Cite Tweet|number= 1338481525839417344|user= nagayama_koharu|date= December 14, 2020|script-title=ja:うわー！超ありがとうございます！こんなにたくさん最高です！傷物語は超好きですけど、女性の感じはフリクリだと思います！最後らへんのマキマとの戦いは傷最終章ですけど！|trans-title= Wow! Thank you very much! So many great ones! I really like Kizumonogatari, but I think the feminine feeling comes from FLCL. The battle near the end with Makima is the final chapter of Kizumonogatari, though!}} He also described the series as a "wicked FLCL" and a "pop Abara." Fujimoto had various elements from the series planned from the beginning, while other things were added as it progressed. He did not have specific plans to bring payoff to the meaningful-sounding words and things that felt "off", adding that he left various things vague to make the series' second part easier to do.

= Critical reception =

Chainsaw Man has been overall well received by critics. James Beckett of Anime News Network ranked the first volume as a B+. Beckett commented, "[Chainsaw Man is] goofy, kinky, dark, and bizarre, which is already the kind of tonal mishmash I'm generally down for in my art," praising as well its compelling world-building and character development, adding that the volume "earns plenty of goodwill by committing to its surprisingly earnest and charming brand of ferocious bloodletting."{{cite web|last=Beckett|first=James|title=Chainsaw Man GN 1 - Review|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/chainsaw-man-gn-1/.163451|website=Anime News Network|access-date=September 8, 2020|date=September 8, 2020|archive-date=September 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200909203424/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/chainsaw-man-gn-1/.163451|url-status=live}} Nicholas Dupree from the same website commented, "[i]t's a bizarre, unpredictable, and undeniably unique thrill ride, and love it or hate it, there's nothing else quite like it." Hannah Collins of Comic Book Resources gave the series a positive review, stating, "Chainsaw Man bears all the hallmarks of a standard supernatural action series, but its quieter moments are where its dark heart beats fastest."{{cite web|last=Collins|first=Hannah|title=Review: Chainsaw Man Vol. 1 Begins a Future Shonen Jump Classic|url=https://www.cbr.com/chainsaw-man-vol-1-review/|website=Comic Book Resources|access-date=October 12, 2020|date=October 6, 2020|archive-date=October 12, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201012181808/https://www.cbr.com/chainsaw-man-vol-1-review/|url-status=live}} Polygon{{'}}s Julia Lee gave the series a positive review, commenting, "Chainsaw Man is considered one of Shonen Jump{{’}}s best new series, and for good reason.

McNeil stated, "I did not think I was going to enjoy this manga. I'm glad I was wrong!" She noted that the series has similar elements from Army of Darkness, Devilman, Dorohedoro and inspiration from various devil-hunting series, recommending it to fans of those works.{{cite web|last=McNeil|first=Sheena|title=Chainsaw Man Vol. 1|url=http://www.sequentialtart.com/reports.php?ID=12078|website=Sequential Tart|access-date=March 28, 2022|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210701213341/http://www.sequentialtart.com/reports.php?ID=12078|archive-date=July 1, 2021|url-status=live}}

Anna Neatrour of Manga Report gave a positive review to the first volume, calling its monster fighting, "buckets of gore", and humor "plenty amusing," and calling Denji an "incredibly damaged but potentially powerful hero."{{cite web|last=Neatrour|first=Anna|title=Chainsaw Man, Vol 1|url=http://mangareport.mangabookshelf.com/2020/09/15/chainsaw-man-vol-1/|website=Manga Report|access-date=March 29, 2022|archive-url=https://archive.today/20220329044743/http://mangareport.mangabookshelf.com/2020/09/15/chainsaw-man-vol-1/|archive-date=March 29, 2022|date=September 15, 2020|url-status=live}} Reviewing the first volume, Danica Davidson of Otaku USA called the series "a little creepy" and "downright bizarre," adding however, that it is "a bloody, action-packed {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} with some heart showing through the weirdness, and it's been very successful in Japan."{{cite web|last=Davidson|first=Danica|title=Chainsaw Man Has Hacking, Slashing — and Some Heart|url=https://otakuusamagazine.com/chainsaw-man-has-hacking-slashing-and-some-heart/|website=Otaku USA|access-date=December 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127182246/https://otakuusamagazine.com/chainsaw-man-has-hacking-slashing-and-some-heart/|archive-date=November 27, 2020|date=November 27, 2020|url-status=live}} Following her "read-a-thoning" of the series, Katherine Dacey of The Manga Critic commented that she finished it with a "grudging respect for Fujimoto's excessive, ridiculous creation, which entertained and repelled me in equal measure. Your mileage will vary."{{cite web|last=Dacey|first=Katherine|title=Chainsaw Man|url=http://mangacritic.mangabookshelf.com/2020/01/13/chainsaw-man/|website=The Manga Critic|access-date=October 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200215214013/http://mangacritic.mangabookshelf.com/2020/01/13/chainsaw-man/|archivedate=February 15, 2020|date=January 3, 2020|url-status=live}} Ian Wolf of Anime UK News gave the first volume a 6/10. Wolf wrote that the main feature of the series is the action sequences, but criticized the lack of depth in writing, concluding, "Chainsaw Man has some things going for it and hopefully may well build up from a promising start."{{cite web|last=Wolf|first=Ian|title=Chainsaw Man Volume 1 Review|url=https://animeuknews.net/2020/10/chainsaw-man-volume-1-review/|website=Anime UK News|access-date=October 12, 2020|date=October 4, 2020|archive-date=October 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201017224347/https://animeuknews.net/2020/10/chainsaw-man-volume-1-review/|url-status=live}}

Fujimoto's art style has also been commended. Collins praised Fujimoto's penmanship, stating that the "thickly-sketched lines on individual characters and still moments convey the rough edges of [its] world." Dupree lauded the series' art style, stating, "as the Devil enemies of the story grow more powerful, his imagination for bizarre, abstract, and genuinely unsettling visual storytelling reaches heights I've never seen in a Jump series before." Beckett called the character designs and general linework "a bit generic at first glance," but that when "the carnage comes flooding in," the series "has a clarity of style and consistency of vision that can be wondrous to behold." McNeil said that the character designs, other than Pochita and Chainsaw Man, are "not memorable," but that the art "really shines for the creepy Devils, the action, and especially the gore." Regarding the devils' designs, Dacey wrote that some are "uninspired" and that the most memorable ones are "clearly designed to elicit an appreciative 'ewww{{' "}}. Wolf stated that the art of the series "feels better than its writing," adding that visually, the action and fighting make the manga appealing.

== Themes ==

Various reviewers have commented on the use of violence and gory scenes within the context of the story. Dupree wrote that the "irreverent tone and deliciously gory violence" are elements that make the series "really stand out from the get-go."{{cite web|last=Dupree|first=Nicholas|title=The Blood-Soaked Manic Appeal of Chainsaw Man|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2020-11-02/the-blood-soaked-manic-appeal-of-chainsaw-man/.165783|website=Anime News Network|access-date=November 3, 2020|date=November 3, 2020|archive-date=November 2, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201102180116/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2020-11-02/the-blood-soaked-manic-appeal-of-chainsaw-man/.165783|url-status=live}} Collins wrote that the gory scenes, instead of being gratuitous, make the story feel "refreshingly unfiltered." McNeil commented that the series is "wonderfully absurd. It's funny, {{sic|gorey}}, and violent, but also has an interesting bit of humanity at its core." Davinson called it "casually gruesome and violent," but that it fits with its theme. Lee wrote, "Chainsaw Man is gory. Extremely gory," adding that these scenes make the series different from other {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} series, calling them "pretty gross," but "fitting for a dark manga about slashing devils down with a chainsaw." Dacey called the series a "blood-and-testosterone-soaked battle manga," commenting that its main appeal is the "outrageous displays of gore and violence," adding as well that Fujimoto "does his utmost to push the boundaries of good taste." Beckett wrote that the "delightfully ridiculous and bloody" premise runs with it in "all sorts of fascinating directions," adding however, that its reveling in crude humor and violence could be off-putting to some readers.

Regarding the characters, Adi Tantimedh of Bleeding Cool called them "sad, broken people who live outside the norms of society and haven't learned basic social skills," adding as well that the series' subtext is about "people getting abused, degraded, dehumanized, objectified, literally becoming objects." He concluded, "Society is to blame for degrading people into tools and objects; these {{sic|mangas}} seem to be saying, though they never outright blame Capitalism or the alienating repressiveness of Japanese society. The result is one of the more unique manga out there."{{cite web|last=Tantimedh|first=Adi|title=Chainsaw Man: Violent, Gory, Darkly Funny Manga Lives Up to its Title|url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/chainsaw-man-violent-gory-darkly-funny-manga-lives-up-to-its-title/|website=Bleeding Cool|access-date=October 12, 2020|date=October 9, 2020|archive-date=October 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201017072803/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/chainsaw-man-violent-gory-darkly-funny-manga-lives-up-to-its-title/|url-status=live}} Collins commented that the series has a premise "loosely" comparable to Jujutsu Kaisen, adding, however, that Denji might fit the mold of a {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} protagonist on paper, but that the mold is "only there to be broken," comparing his "life on the fringes of society" to a "Dickensian parable about the plight of the working class." Dacey called Denji "a more honest {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} hero than the typical Jump lead; he thinks and acts like a real teenage boy, right down to his self-absorption and total objectification of women," adding that she could not say she "ever warmed to Denji as a lead character." Lee commented that the series has an "interestingly goofy contrast between the characters and what's going on," adding that Denji's simple mind and "kind-of-horny instincts" can get tiring at times, but it does not make the series bad, and with the introduction of the "extremely interesting side characters," like Power and Makima, the story "takes a turn for the better."

Its way of handling comedy has also been commented. Tantimedh stated that the series has a "unique sense of deadpan comic timing" that "makes the series unique," adding as well that the series distinguishes itself for its slapstick comedy and that a "deadly earnest" tone might have made the series unreadable. Beckett said that when he read the premise, he took the series at face value as a "goofy nonsense comic, a parody of {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} manga that primarily exists to push out page-after-page of gross-out gags and gory action," also calling it "a mishmash of raunchy teen sex comedies, Hellboy, and The Evil Dead." Dupree stated that the "crass, crude, and purposefully lowbrow" humor is one of its defining characteristics, adding that there are multiple jokes where it feels like half the punchline is that the series, "in all its gleefully nihilistic indulgence," was published in the same magazine as other "bleedingly sincere and family-friendly" titles like One Piece or My Hero Academia. Neatrour said, "[t]here's a level of off-kilter humor in Chainsaw Man that I find endearing," and that it also has "plenty of juvenile humor." Davinson commented that the humor of the series mainly revolves around Denji trying to get a girlfriend. Wolf wrote that "the ridiculousness of the story helps to add comedy to the whole thing," although, he called the humor "rather base at best."

Reviewers have also commented the emotional aspects of the series. Dacey discussed its unexpected moments of "genuine pathos," talking about the interactions between Denji and Pochita, noting as well parallels to Denji's relationship with Makima. Davidson also stated that the emotional part of the story is about the love between Denji and Pochita. Dupree wrote that the series' "bombastic, borderline nihilistic maelstrom of gore and dick jokes" is in part a reaction to the "absurd and illogical world it takes place in," adding that the series has a "proudly beating heart. Perhaps a cynical heart, but one that nonetheless sympathizes with the struggle to find meaning or solace in a cruel and unpredictable world." Reviewing the series' 97th and last chapter published in Weekly Shōnen Jump, Reiichi Narima of Real Sound commented that Denji's growth through loss is a storytelling more related to Seinen manga than {{Transliteration|ja|shōnen}} manga, adding that he was "deeply moved" by the inclusion of this kind of stories in the magazine, ultimately calling it a masterpiece and concluding, "at the core of bloody violence, there was a boy's sad love story."{{cite web|last=Narima|first=Reiichi|script-title=ja:『チェンソーマン』は“愛の物語”だった！？意味深だった最終回を考察|url=https://realsound.jp/book/2020/12/post-674623_2.html|website=Real Sound|publisher=Blueprint Co., Ltd.|access-date=December 20, 2020|language=ja|date=December 16, 2020|archive-date=December 18, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201218103315/https://realsound.jp/book/2020/12/post-674623_2.html|url-status=live}}
