Spoilers Warning:
This article contains spoilers about Reze and the Bomb Girl arc in Chainsaw Man. Proceed with caution.
Who Is Reze in Chainsaw Man?
Reze was first hinted at in the final episode of Chainsaw Man Season 1, giving fans much to speculate about. She makes her official entrance in Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, where her intriguing backstory unfolds. Initially, she crosses paths with Denji, and a rapid romance brews between them.
However, the twist reveals that Reze is a hybrid devil known as the Bomb Girl, originating from the Soviet Union with a mission to capture Chainsaw Man’s heart—quite literally!
Who Is Voicing Reze in Chainsaw Man?
Reina Ueda, celebrated for her performances as Cha Hae-In in Solo Leveling and Kanao Tsuyuri in Demon Slayer, lends her voice to Reze. Her previous notable roles include Chinatsu Kano in Blue Box and Shizuka Kuze in Takopi’s Original Sin.
Ueda’s involvement isn’t new; she teased audiences with a brief appearance in Chainsaw Man’s Season 1 finale and will fully showcase her talents in the upcoming film.
How Old Is Reze in Chainsaw Man?
While the exact age of Reze remains unspecified by Fujimoto, it’s worth noting that hybrid devils halt their aging process once transformed. Given her characteristics, Reze is likely around 18-20 years old.
Does Reze Really Love Denji in Chainsaw Man?
Initially, it seems that Denji has finally found love, as Reze showers him with affection. However, her relationship with Denji is rooted in deception; her feelings were initially a ruse to carry out her mission. Interestingly, as the story progresses, she starts to develop genuine feelings for Denji.
By the arc’s conclusion, Reze indeed falls for Denji, despite starting off with insincerity. This evolution makes her character all the more complex and relatable.
Reze’s Bomb Girl Transformation
Reze transforms into her Bomb Girl form by pulling a grenade-like pin from her neck, an act that releases her destructive capabilities. As one of the most formidable devils in the series, Reze leaves behind a path of destruction due to her explosive powers. Her abilities are somewhat reminiscent of Bakugo’s explosive quirks from My Hero Academia, although Reze’s main vulnerability lies in water, which dampens her explosive potential.
Is Reze Dead in Chainsaw Man?
Interestingly, Fujimoto once shared that Reze was partly inspired by the idea of Denji falling for someone other than Makima—only for Makima to intervene and ultimately cause Reze’s demise. In a pivotal moment, Makima kills Reze when she attempts to reach Denji.
However, it’s important to note that in the Chainsaw Man universe, hybrid devils cannot truly die. Although it initially appears that Reze has met her end, she remains alive after the Control Devil arc. This opens the door for her potential return in future storylines, should Fujimoto choose to incorporate her once again.
