Who Is Reze in Chainsaw Man?
Reze was teased at the end of season one in 2022, and fans have been waiting to see her return. In the movie, she meets Denji by chance, and he falls for her almost right away. Their bond grows quickly, giving him a rare glimpse of normal affection. But the truth soon comes out.
Reze is not just a normal girl. She is a devil-human hybrid known as Bomb Girl. She was sent from the Soviet Union with a mission to capture Denji’s heart—literally.

Who Voices Reze in the Anime?
Reze’s voice is brought to life by Reina Ueda. Fans may know her as:
- Cha Hae-In in Solo Leveling
- Kanao Tsuyuri in Demon Slayer
- Chinatsu Kano in Blue Box
- Shizuka Kuze in Takopi’s Original Sin
While her voice appeared briefly in the season one finale, the movie is her first full performance as Re-ze.
How Old Is Reze?
The manga never states Re-ze’s exact age. Since hybrids do not age after transformation, her human form is frozen in time. Based on her looks and behavior, she appears to be around 18 to 20 years old.
Did Reze Really Love Denji?
At first, it looked like Denji had finally found love. Re-ze treated him kindly, and he believed her feelings were genuine. But her affection began as a cover. She was following orders from her Russian masters.
Still, cracks formed in her disguise. As she spent more time with Denji, her genuine emotions began to surface. She never gave a direct confession, but her actions hinted that she cared for him more than she planned. Re-ze’s love started as an act, but it gradually evolved into something genuine.
Reze’s Powers as Bomb Girl
Reze’s power comes from the grenade pin in her neck. When she pulls it, she transforms into Bomb Girl and gains destructive strength. Her explosions are among the strongest abilities in Chainsaw Man. Some fans compare her to Bakugo from the anime series My Hero Academia.
But she does have a weakness. Water and moisture can extinguish her sparks, rendering her powers useless.
Is Reze Dead?
Tatsuki Fujimoto has said Reze is one of his favorite characters. He created her to show how Denji’s heart could be pulled away from Makima. However, Makima ensured that the bond was cut short. She killed Reze before their relationship could grow.
Still, hybrid devils cannot die in the same way humans do. While her fate seems final, the story leaves room for her return. After the Control Devil arc, it is unclear if she is truly gone. Fujimoto could bring her back at any time.
Final Thoughts
Reze is one of the most tragic yet powerful characters in Chainsaw Man. She showed Denji a side of life he rarely experienced, only for it to be torn away from him. Whether or not she returns, her impact on the story remains strong.
What do you think about Reze’s role in Denji’s life? Do you believe we will see her again?
