Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Inspiration Behind Denji and Reze’s Relationship
Fujimoto revealed his thoughts on the upcomingChainsaw Manmovie at Jump Festa in a special note to fans. In a letter toChainsaw Manfans which was later shared byComicBook, the artist revealed to them what to anticipate from Reze and Denji’s relationship. He also talked about how it was inspired by a popular animeJin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade.He said:
“The motif behind Denji and Reze, who are both expendable and being used by others, is based on the main characters of the animated movie Jin-Roh. I think there are a lot of imperfections in their composition, so I recommend you check out Jin-Roh as well.”
He also recommended the fans to watchJin-Rohas it would help them understand Denji and Reze’s relationship in the upcoming movie and they could see how they are being used and manipulated by others.

Denji and Reze’s Relationship inChainsaw Man
On their first meeting, Reze, a Russian foreigner roughly Denji’s age, manages to connect with him quite well. Before it was revealed that Reze was actually the Bomb Devil hybrid and had first gotten closer to Denji only to steal his heart, Reze andChainsaw Man, a human around Denji’s age, had a somewhat sincere relationship.
Regretfully, Reze’s primary motivation for traveling to Japan was to kill Denji, even though it was revealed later in the series that she had genuine feelings for him. Regretfully, because they were both being used by others, Denji and Reze were not intended to be happy together.
It would surely be interesting to watch their relationship and how they interact in the upcoming movie, fans should probably watchJin-Rohfirst as advised by Fujimoto as it will give them an initial understanding of Reze and Denji’s relationship in the movie.
