Chainsaw Man Reze Arc film release and merchandise

Overview

The animated film ‘Chainsaw Man – Reze Arc’, produced by MAPPA, is transitioning from its theatrical run to digital distribution. Following a successful box office performance exceeding 29.7 billion yen, the film began exclusive streaming on Prime Video on September 19, 2026.

To celebrate the streaming launch, artist Kenshi Yonezu hosted a 24-hour YouTube event titled ‘Kenshi Yonezu Station’ from September 18 to September 23, featuring the film’s theme song ‘IRIS OUT’ and the collaboration track ‘JANE DOE’ with Utada Hikaru.

Promotional activities in Japan have expanded to include a large-scale exhibition at the Shinjuku Station Metro Promenade from September 21 to September 27. Themed around a retro video rental shop, the exhibit plays on the film’s reputation among fans as an ‘ultimate shark movie’ and features shark-movie-style posters, 3D panels, and unique VHS case designs. Additionally, voice actor Natsuki Hanae, who voices Beam, released a video on September 20 titled ‘How to Enjoy the Movie at Home’ to provide viewing suggestions for the streaming release.

Merchandise offerings continue to expand. BANDAI SPIRITS has launched the second installment of the ‘Ichiban Kuji’ lottery, featuring figures of Denji, Reze, Aki Hayakawa, and Angel Devil. Furthermore, Prime 1 Studio has announced a high-end 1/6 scale statue of ‘Chainsaw Man & Beam’, with pre-orders beginning in September and a scheduled release for early 2028.
