Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc recap
Denji, still infatuated with Makima, goes on a date with her and is rattled when she tells him not to fall for just anyone. Sheltering from the rain in a phone booth, he meets Reze, a cheerful girl who works at a cafe, and they quickly grow close. Reze takes him swimming at night in an empty school pool and keeps asking him to give up devil hunting and run away with her. At a summer festival, she kisses Denji and bites off his tongue. Reze is a Soviet assassin and the Bomb Devil, sent to steal his heart. She blows apart his allies, and Denji, joined by the Shark Fiend Beam, fights her through the city in a running battle. Reze calls on the Typhoon Devil, and Denji, Beam and the devil hunters stop it. Denji finally defeats Reze by chaining himself to her and dragging them both into the sea, where she cannot detonate.
