The highly anticipated theatrical film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, set to premiere on September 19, will feature an insert song by Maximum the Hormone. The track is titled HAWATARI NIOKU CENTI (2-hundred-million-centimeter-long blades).

This song was already used as the ending theme of Episode 3 in the TV anime and as an insert song in the series. However, only a short version had been released. For the film, the second verse (which had never been revealed before) will be shown for the first time in the special version called HAWATARI NIOKU CENTI (Estimated 70% Unlocked Edit), which will bring the continuation to audiences for the first time on the big screen.

Band member Maximum the Ryo-kun said, "The ending theme and insert song of Episode 3, HAWATARI NIOKU CENTI, is back as an insert song in the Reze Arc film! Now called Estimated 70% Unlocked Edit, you'll finally hear the continuation of the TV version. We never revealed the full lyrics before because the second verse was actually about Reze. I can't believe it would actually be used in the Reze Arc movie. This would be like winning a dream battle victory twice in a row! Thank you so much!"

In addition, the first theatergoer bonus will be distributed starting September 19: a special booklet titled Love, Flower, Chainsaw Guide. It includes an original four-panel manga specially drawn by creator Tatsuki Fujimoto, draft storyboards from the Reze Arc, and valuable production materials such as setting art and storyboards from the theatrical film. The cover illustration, also newly drawn by Fujimoto, was revealed along with the announcement. In total, four different bonus items are scheduled to be distributed in phases.
