The hope that never dies.
Chainsaw Man Reze Arc manga spoilers ahead!
Summary:
- “Reze is coming back” has become a meme in the fandom.
- Reze is one of the main characters in the Bomb Girl arc of the manga.
- She’s hardly coming back, but the memes are unstoppable.
If you’ve ever visited at least one of the Chainsaw Man manga-reader online communities, you’ve probably seen at least a couple of memes about Reze coming back to the series any second. They are usually hilarious, but filled with tears and copium.
Reze is one of the main characters of the upcoming Chainsaw Man movie, if her name in the title of the anime and her picture on the poster didn’t make it clear for you. We’ve already talked about Reze here, but let’s discuss her story a bit more.
Bomb Girl arc
Reze is the star of the Bomb Girl arc of the Chainsaw Man manga and Denji’s love interest. Their story starts with a scene straight out of a romantic comedy: they meet in the rain, they like each other, Denji gives her a flower.
But don’t forget that it’s Chainsaw Man you’re reading, so of course Denji vomits the flower for the girl.
There were some cute and endearing moments between Denji and Reze, but again, this is Chainsaw Man we’re talking about, so of course, Reze turns out to be a devil hybrid who is on a mission to steal the Chainsaw Man’s heart.
However, Reze has a change of heart later in the story and even wants to come back to Denji and escape together. But Makima happens, and that was the last we heard of Reze.
Fans still have hope
Although Reze was killed by Makima and hasn’t been mentioned in the manga for ages, fans still have this hilarious hope that she will come back one day.
One manga arc was enough for readers to fall for the girl completely and they are still not ready to let her go, even though it’s been over 100 chapters since the finale of the Bomb Girl arc dropped.
It feels natural for a series like Chainsaw Man to bring back dead characters, but the more chapters are out, the clearer it becomes: Reze is not coming back, she’s gone for good.
She had a huge impact on Denji and the fandom, but it’s time to admit it: Reze will remain just a memory and a source for dozens of memes appearing online every week.
Deep inside, manga readers understand that they won’t see Reze again in the manga, but the meme has become so strong that they can’t help but make at least a couple of jokes about her coming back after each chapter.
The good news, though, is that the Reze movie is on its way, so we’ll get to see the queen of Chainsaw Man animated soon. Perhaps that will help fans deal with the pain.
