To pay off his debt, Denji works as a devil hunter and risks his life regularly, but soon meets a friendly, dog-like devil named Pochita and becomes friends with him. His Yakuza paymasters soon betray him, forcing him to make a contract with Pochita and awaken as the Chainsaw Man to save himself.
Eventually, Denji is rescued by Makima, who’s the lady in charge of Japan’s Public Security Division, and he goes on to become a professional devil hunter determined to win Makima over. However, as the show goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that Makima is manipulating Denji for her own sinister purposes.

In the Reze arc, Denji comes across a mysterious girl who calls herself Reze and works at a café. Denji’s experience with Reze makes him begin to question his single-minded devotion to Makima and his devil hunter duties, and Reze herself takes a shine to him and enjoys their time together.
However, nothing is that simple in the world of Chainsaw Man, as it’s eventually revealed that Reze’s true identity is that of the Bomb Devil, and she works as a terrorist and assassin on the payroll of the USSR. Once she realizes that Denji works for the Public Security Division and can’t just drop everything and run away with her, she turns against him, setting into motion a brutal conflict that can only end in crushing heartbreak.
Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc is also produced by studio MAPPA, and is directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara.
