  • Reze meticulously orchestrated a plan to establish contact with Denji through a chance encounter in a phone booth, leveraging her abilities as the Bomb Hybrid.
  • Denji’s lingering infatuation with Makima leads to a tumultuous yet heartwarming relationship with Reze, whose mission was to retrieve his Chainsaw heart.

For quite some time now, I’ve been acquainted with an extraordinary individual named Reze. Over the course of our friendship, we’ve grown closer through our mutual experiences and hardships. Little did I know, my friend was on a quest to reclaim his Chainsaw heart – a fact that would leave me perplexed, as it had led many women in my past to attempt taking my life due to this unique feature.

In the world of Chainsaw Man, Denji and Reze shared a complex and emotional bond. Regardless of their situations, they sought to flee their circumstances side by side, but it took more convincing for Denji due to his ongoing affection for Makima. As time passed, their feelings deepened, but unfortunately, this flame was quickly snuffed out. Essentially, the relationship between Denji and Reze was turbulent yet touching.

Reze’s role in Denji’s life is marked by a certain level of deliberation. Even though the day initially seemed bright and clear, it turned out to be unusually rainy when Reze and Denji first met each other inside a telephone booth, where they both sought shelter from the heavy downpour. On her way to work at a café part-time, Reze took refuge in the booth and was taken aback when she realized another person had also sought shelter there.

It seemed like their first encounter was mere chance, but in reality, Reze had carefully planned it to initiate contact with Denji. This detail wasn’t clear until Chapter 40, but we now know that Reze was already acquainted with the Typhoon Deviil. The Typhoon Devil manipulated the weather, causing an unexpected downpour, which it used its powers to create, to facilitate this initial meeting.

Back then, it wasn’t yet understood that Reze was the Bomb Devil Hybrid. This fact became quite relevant because any form of water, like what we faced during the storm, would severely hamper Reze’s abilities. You see, moisture would hinder her capacity to create enough spark for an explosion. In a clever move, Reze exploited this situation, posing as a defenseless young woman who just happened to get soaked in the rain, much like Denji. By doing so, she skillfully lured Denji into a trap, and it worked!

Even though Denji is captivated by Reze, given his constant pursuit of female companionship, he hasn’t fully succumbed to his feelings for her yet. This is due to the lingering thrill from his date with Makima. As Denji often finds himself smitten by any woman he interacts with, during their time at the cafe, he acknowledged that he would likely develop feelings for Reze soon. In an effort to remain faithful to Makima, he secretly hopes she will assist him in his predicament.

Makima found my heart for me. My heart belongs to Makima. But my body has other ideas…

Delving into our shared experiences with Denji, I’ve come to realize some striking similarities between us – we’re both self-taught misfits, living under less than ideal circumstances. Yet, it wasn’t until I uncovered the mystery of his illiteracy that a startling revelation unfolded: Reze, much like myself, never attended school. But here’s where our tales diverge – for while my hardships were merely a product of circumstance, hers were the result of a clandestine government experiment, transforming her into the Bomb Hybrid – a chilling discovery that has left me both astounded and shaken.

Revealing Reze’s true identity serves as a cautionary tale for Denji. In the past, Denji has placed trust in women, only to find out they were after his Chainsaw heart. This pattern also applies to Reze, who was sent to Japan on a mission to get Denji’s Chainsaw heart. However, despite knowing that every woman he encounters intends to kill him, Denji continues to pursue their company.

Even though Denji nearly met his demise at Reze’s hands during their battle, afterwards, he asked Reze if she would join him in fleeing. Despite knowing that Reze aimed to seize his heart, Denji found himself drawn to her. During their time together, Reze showed Denji the art of swimming, which led him to think that even though Reze was on a mission involving him, she held some affection for him. Tragically, Reze didn’t have long to live as Makima—who had secretly been eavesdropping on their talks via the city’s rats—ultimately took her life.

Did Reze Have Feelings For Denji?

Was It All Due to Her Training or Did Their Shared Time Mean Something?

In the course of the storyline, it’s clear that Reze shows affection for Denji in numerous instances; yet, it isn’t until Chapter 51 that we learn her training may have shaped her actions. Regardless, it’s evident that Reze truly cares for Denji. A prime example is when they secretly enter the school after dark. In this situation, Denji confides in Reze that he has never been to school before. Although Reze herself went through a similar ordeal in the Soviet Union, she can relate to Denji’s struggle, recognizing that Japan’s living conditions are far superior to her own upbringing.

  • Reze is revealed to be one of the children who had been kidnapped and used for experimentation.
  • Soldiers that the Soviet Union has created are thus called “Guinea Pigs.”

Through their shared hardships, Reze finds a sense of resolution with Denji, having wrestled with living meaningful lives. Their connection, born out of mutual trauma, is palpable. Yet, Reze stays committed to her mission. The festival date signifies the emergence of Reze’s true emotions. As they waited for the fireworks, she voiced worry about Denji, fearing his lack of education at only 16 years old might hinder his future growth.

Every expression, every blush since I met you, all of it was a lie. The product of my training.

While it might appear that Reze is employing her concern as a strategy to isolate Denji and acquire his Chainsaw heart, it’s also plausible that her emotions are genuine, and her interest in Denji’s thoughts could influence whether she carries on with her mission. Regrettably, Denji, who remains smitten by Makima, decides to remain. This refusal encourages Reze to move forward with her mission. Had it not been for Aki and Angel intervening, she would have accomplished her task; however, Denji was quickly revived.

In the aftermath of our recent clash, Denji inquired if Reze was willing to flee together, yet she refused. However, upon visiting the train station and reminiscing about their shared past, her resolve wavered and she made her way back to the café. As I observed Reze heading towards the café, I sensed a surge of anticipation within her, hinting at her deep feelings for the Chainsaw Devil hybrid. Heartbreakingly, before she could reach Denji, who was mere streets away, Makima and Angel intercepted her, swiftly immobilizing her. This left Denji grappling with what appeared to be Reze’s denial, a sorrowful predicament indeed.
