About 30 minutes into Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, I realized these scenes are the heart of the film. Despite being a canonical entry within the franchise, Reze Arc offers a more accessible entry point for newcomers — even if they haven’t seen its single episode. Image: MAPPAReze Arc is inherently a lovers-to-enemies story, with our fallible protagonist Denji falling for Reze almost immediately upon introduction. As a result, despite all of Chainsaw Man’s complex lore and its large cast of characters, Reze Arc is very self-contained. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc serves as a good point of entry, likely leaving new fans satisfied, but it also has a drawback.
