MAPPA's critically acclaimed Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is officially heading to Prime Video in Japan on September 19, 2026, marking exactly one year since its theatrical debut. Alongside the streaming date confirmation, studio MAPPA revealed a striking new visual for the blockbuster feature.
Opening across Japanese cinemas in September 2025, the film immediately captured audience imagination, adapting one of Tatsuki Fujimoto's most emotionally resonant manga arcs. The narrative follows Denji as he crosses paths with Reze, a mysterious café worker whose entrance into his chaotic life sets off a heartbreaking chain of events. The feature's monumental success extended far beyond theatres, shattering box office records with over ¥29.7 billion globally by June 2026 and earning top honors on the international stage.

While international fans gained streaming access via Crunchyroll earlier this spring, the upcoming Japanese SVOD launch rounds out an extraordinary distribution cycle for the film.
