- « With
anticipation, I nervously headed to the studio to record the PV. During
the recording, I heard Kikunosuke Toya’s performance on the microphone
next to me and couldn’t help but think, “It’s Denji! The real Denji is
here!” in complete awe. Between one thing and another, before I knew it,
the recording was over. The staff’s respect for the original work and
their steadfast commitment to creating this production have made me feel a
great responsibility. I sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed the PV. I’m
sure that the main story will also be presented in a wonderful way. Please
continue to support the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc film . Thank
you very much! »

Chainsaw Man Synopsis
The story takes place in a world where Demons threaten
the peace of humans, making them targets for elimination. Denji is a young,
depressed man who has sold several of his organs and works as a lumberjack and
Demon hunter to pay off his late father's debt. Denji owns a dog (who is also a
Demon) named Pochita, who has chainsaws that he uses to do his work.
This is explained by humans being able to make
contracts with demons. After returning home from a job, Denji is called by a
Yakuza to infiltrate a building and assassinate another demon. However, the
plan was a trap to kill him as part of a Yakuza contract with the demon, thus
gaining more power. However, Pochita comes to Denji's aid and joins with him,
becoming a half-man, half-demon and acquiring Pochita's chainsaws.
