A stage greeting to thank fans for the huge success of the anime film " Chainsaw Man " based on Tatsuki Fujimoto 's popular manga, was held at TOHO Cinemas Ikebukuro (Toshima Ward, Tokyo) on October 4th, Kikunosuke Toya, who plays Denji, Reina Ueda, who plays Reze, and Tomori Kusunoki, who plays Makima. The "Reze Arc" tells the story of Reze and the protagonist Denji, who also appeared at the end of the TV anime that aired from October to December 2022, and became a hot topic. The scene in which Reze transforms into Bomb is also depicted, and Ueda commented, "There were many aspects that were the same when fighting Denji. Even in the battle between Chainsaw Man and Bomb, I feel that the interactions between Renji and Reze evoke the time they spent together, the fun times they had."
Regarding the "unchanging parts" of Reze after she becomes Bomb, Ueda revealed something behind the scenes of the recording, saying, "I wasn't really conscious of it during the dubbing, but when I saw the finished product, I thought, 'It's Denji and Reze.' I couldn't help but imagine that there was something that remained inside Reze."
Toya, who plays Denji, said of Reze who has become Bomb, "It was really scary." He added, "When Denji and Bomb were facing each other on the truck, I didn't feel any warmth in their words. I felt Denji's anger switch turn on in response to the battle."
"Chainsaw Man" is a dark hero action story that follows Denji, a boy possessed by a demon, as he works as a devil hunter. Part 1 was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha) from December 2018 to December 2020. Part 2 has been serialized on Shueisha's manga app "Shonen Jump+" since July 2022.
