Following an extraordinary global theatrical run that surpassed 29.7 billion yen at the box office, MAPPA has officially announced that Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc will launch exclusively on Prime Video on September 19, 2026. The premiere date aligns with the exact one-year anniversary of the film's Japanese theatrical release, bringing one of Tatsuki Fujimoto's most beloved manga storylines directly to home audiences.
Directed by action veteran Tatsuya Yoshihara with scripts penned by Hiroshi Seko, the film adapts the emotional and explosive arc where Denji meets Reze—a enigmatic girl working at a local coffee shop whose sudden presence shifts his life in chaotic directions. The theatrical production features musical contributions from Kenshi Yonezu with the main theme "IRIS OUT" and ending theme "JANE DOE" (collaborating with Utada Hikaru), alongside insert tracks by Maximum The Hormone.

To celebrate the streaming milestone, original manga author Tatsuki Fujimoto and director Tatsuya Yoshihara shared personal statements regarding the release.
I've watched it about seven times already, so it feels surreal that people can watch it on Prime Video!
Tatsuki Fujimoto, Original Author
Director Yoshihara expressed deep gratitude to the production team and global audience, reflecting on the collaborative craft that defined the feature:
Every single staff member poured their love and energy into this project to push Chainsaw Man to its highest potential. Unscripted background details, performance nuances, sound design, and character acting all stacked together through collective teamwork. Whether viewing on a massive TV screen or a mobile device, I hope viewers around the world experience this story in whatever way best fits their lives.
