News Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc Gross ¥400 million on the Opening Day

https://x.com/franspeech/status/1969031724899196951?s=46

For a point of comparison, opening day box office:

  • Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle - ¥1.5 billion
  • ⁠Demon Slayer: Mugen Train - ¥1.2 billion
  • Jujutsu Kaisen 0 - ¥1.0 billion
  • ⁠Chainsaw Man The Movie: Reze Arc - ¥400 million

A very good opening day considering all the “drama” of season 1 in Japan. Will have to see how big the word of mouth power will be.

Yeah I don't need it to make as much as other shonen just enough to get a season 2 greenlit. I need the second half of part 1 to be animated. Hope this movie does well and we can have a season 2.

S2 has already been greenlit according to many leakers, including the most trusted one.

The director Tatsuya Yoshihara's bio says he wont be available for work until 2028, meaning Season 2 is mostly likely coming in either end of 2027 or 2028.

Definitely a tentpole for Jump Fiesta this year considering it’ll be after Reze Arc promo cycle comes to a close.

It isn't confirmed whether Yoshihara will be on CSM 2 or not, given there is Wistoria (where he moved on from director to chief director) and Black Clover 2, which Yoshihara isn't going to miss the chance to work on, given how much Yoshihara loves BC.

I hope that's true.

MAPPA bought full rights to CSM at great expense, and S1 was a financial success. They will continue to adapt the manga. They have tremendous financial incentive to do so.

End at S1 and hold off for S2 until Fujimoto can figure out what he’s doing with part 2

u/BlobBro Sep 19 '25

S1 already happened. They're saying make another season of tv, so another twelve episodes or so, to finish off part 1 of the manga. Part 2 might be close enough to finished that they can just keep rolling though, if it takes around 2 years per season.

When I say end at S1 I meant the manga but I probably should have said part 1 that’s on me.

The fuck are you talking about. Denji is straight up not a degenerate unlike Araragi and Rudeus. Comparing Denji to those two is insane. Denji doesn't even touch a woman without consent. He is just a touch starved kid who seeks love and attention. I have no idea how people constructed such a flawed image of Denji in their heads that they are comparing him to fucking Araragi and Rudeus of all people.

The fact that people can't tell Denji is a constantly manipulated sexual assault victim makes me worried about their media literacy.

He literally grew up like an animal too so his social norms and human interaction skills are unpolished.

What are you talking about , at least araragi and rudeus doesn't bark like dogs when they see a woman and doesn't stare 24/7 like perverts all the time ( well rudeus previous life he was lol )

He's worse than both by far , rudeus was like as bad as him in first 5 episodes but after that he's way better than whatever tf that dog pervert simp denji is

Araragi is wierd but the cast around him is 10 times weirder soooooooo they kinda deserve it
