Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc Announces 2nd Theater Bonus – Exclusive Illustration Card “Another Ending” Depicting a Possible Future

The theatrical film Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc, released on September 19, has revealed its second theater bonus for moviegoers. Starting October 4, attendees will receive an exclusive illustration card newly drawn by original creator Tatsuki Fujimoto.

The illustration portrays Denji gently holding Reze in his arms as they exchange a tender smile. In Reze’s hands rests a bouquet seemingly given to her by Denji. This heartwarming image vividly captures “Another Ending,” a future the two might have shared. It stands as a miraculous piece that every viewer who has seen the main film is likely to have imagined.

Beginning October 4, the film will also be available in MX4D, 4DX, and Dolby Cinema screenings.

The film opened nationwide across 421 theaters, drawing 272,000 viewers and grossing 420 million yen (approx. $2.83 million at 1 USD = 148.53 JPY) on its first day. In just 10 days, attendance has reached 1.96 million with box office revenue surpassing 2.98 billion yen (approx. $20.06 million).

Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s popular manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since December 2018, Chainsaw Man follows Denji, a destitute boy burdened with his late father’s debts. After merging with his loyal devil companion Pochita, Denji is reborn as Chainsaw Man, wielding the heart of a devil to fight against others in a dark hero action story. The manga has surpassed 30 million copies in circulation and was ranked No.1 in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2021 Male Readers category.

The first part, known as the “Public Safety Arc,” concluded in December 2020 in Weekly Shonen Jump. The second part began serialization on Shonen Jump+ in July 2022, followed by a TV anime broadcast from October to December 2022 and even a stage play adaptation.

The new film adapts the highly anticipated Reze Arc, directly continuing from the anime’s final episode. The story depicts Denji’s chance encounter with the enigmatic girl Reze, who entangles him in an unpredictable and perilous fate.
