Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc

BEFORE THE MOVIE…

Before Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc slashes into theatres this October, let’s rev up our saws and take a deep dive into the bloody, heartbreaking, and unforgettable world of Chainsaw Man. From devil hunters to fiends, from unforgettable villains to fan-favorite companions, this is everything you need to know before Denji’s story takes its next cut.

HEROES & VILLAINS

Denji / Chainsaw Man

A teen crushed by debt, Denji’s life changes when his devil dog Pochita fuses with him, turning him into Chainsaw Man. He isn’t a noble hero—he fights for food, comfort, and love—but that honesty is what makes him so relatable. Ryan Colt Levy captures Denji’s unfiltered chaos and rare moments of vulnerability.

You might also know Ryan Colt Levy for his roles of Rody Soul from My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, and Jazz in Trigun Stampede.

Power

The Blood Fiend is selfish, loud, and unpredictable, yet fiercely loyal when it counts. Power is comic relief and chaos in equal measure, her bond with Denji and Aki bringing surprising depth to her character. Sarah Wiedenheft delivers the manic energy and the rare softness fans adore.

You might also know Sarah Wiedenheft as Tohru from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, or Zeno in Dragon Ball Super.

Aki Hayakawa

The quiet anchor of Public Safety. Haunted by loss, Aki balances duty and grief as Denji and Power’s reluctant caretaker. He isn’t flashy, but every choice carries weight, making him one of the most tragic figures in the series. Reagan Murdock channels that restraint and sorrow with precision.

You've probably heard Reagan Murdock as Abel in Fire Emblem Engage, or as Bete Loga in DanMachi.

Makima

Makima is calm, commanding, and terrifying. She guides Denji’s every step with quiet control, her intentions never as simple as they seem. Stephanie Yeung’s voice shifts between warm and chilling, making Makima one of the most fascinating and unnerving figures in anime.

You might know Suzie Yeung's voice as Yuffie Kisaragi in the DLC from Final Fantasy VII Remake, or as Eula in Genshin Impact.

POCHITA

More than Denji’s pet, Pochita is his family and the source of his power. Cute and loyal, he embodies the emotional heart of Chainsaw Man. Lindsay Seidel captures Pochita’s warmth, making him one of anime’s most beloved companions.

You probably have heard Lindsay Seidel as Nejire Hado in My Hero Academia, or as Nagisa Shiota in Assassination Classroom.

Villains of Season 1

Chainsaw Man is known for its unforgettable devils—here's a few of our fave baddies.

Katana Man

Mirroring Denji’s rage in every slash, Katana Man's fights are as visually brutal as they are emotionally charged.

Eternity Devil

Seen in episode 6, the Eternity Devil traps hunters in nightmarish loops, forcing them to confront their deepest fears.

Gun Devil

The Gun Devil is the embodiment of firearms. It's contracted by the government, and is extremely powerful and brutal.

THE REZE ARC CHARACTERS

Reze

Reze enters the story as a sweet, charming presence, but her role in Denji's life is anything but simple. She's at the center of one of the series' most emotional arcs, balancing warmth with devastation. Alexis Tipton captures both sides of this unforgettable character.

You might also know Alexis Tipton for her roles of Mei Hatsume from My Hero Academia, and Kurumi from Date A Live.

Beam (Shark Fiend)

A loud, loyal ally with a shark's bite. Beam's manic energy and comic timing make him a standout in the chaos, and his loyalty to Denji brings surprising heart. Derick Snow perfectly captures this character's wild enthusiasm.

You might also know Derick Snow for his role of Ranga from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Violence Fiend (Galgali)

Masked and menacing, the Violence Fiend seems uncontrollable but is full of surprises. His strength is unmatched, but it's the restraint beneath the violence that makes him fascinating. Josh Bangle brings the perfect balance of intensity and control to this complex character.

Pochita

I want you to live a normal life and die a normal death. You'll live out the dreams I never could

AWARDS

Chainsaw Man led the 8th Crunchyroll Anime Awards (2024) with 25 nominations — more than any other show. It won Best New Series and Ryan Colt Levy won Best VA Performance (English) for his role as Denji.

Makima

The only people who ever say that they’ll stay by your side are liars.
