Understanding the Arcs
- Chainsaw Man Season 1: This season covers the foundational story of Denji and his entry into Public Safety Devil Hunters. It introduces key characters and the brutal world they inhabit, concluding with the intense events of the Katana Man Arc.
- Chainsaw Man — The Movie: Reze Arc: Following the first season, this movie will adapt the highly anticipated Bomb Girl Arc, focusing on the character Reze. This is the direct continuation of the anime's storyline.
Future Content:
After the Bomb Girl Arc, the Chainsaw Man manga continues with the International Assassins Arc (Chapters 53-70) and beyond. As of now, these arcs have not been announced for anime adaptation, meaning the movie will be the latest animated content in the series' chronological order once released.
