Who Is the Bomb Devil Anyways?
Now if you are not familiar with Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc, you are in for a treat. The big storyline was teased in the final episode of Chainsaw Man season one as we were given a glimpse at Reze. The name refers to a popular character from Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga, after all. Reze is a young woman who steals Denji's heart as the boy struggles with his half-devil identity. From the outside, the connection seems genuine enough as Reze appears to love Denji unlike anyone has before, but their bond is soured when the mysterious Bomb Devil makes their appearance in Japan.
Fujimoto brought the Bomb Devil to life years ago, and it has been a popular arc with fans ever since. Reza's character is a major part of Chainsaw Man, and she is key to Denji's own character development. It is hard to overstate just how important Reza's arc is to the story as a whole. So while MAPPA Studios works on Chainsaw Man behind the scenes, all eyes are on the movie ahead of its long-awaited debut.
