It’s wild to realize that Tatsuya Yoshihara, one of anime’s top-tier action directors, is only now being handed the reins to fully show his talent in a major anime production. That project? None other than the highly anticipated Chainsaw Man: Reze Movie.
🔥 Who Is Tatsuya Yoshihara?
If you’ve ever been blown away by fast-paced, stylish fight scenes in shows like Black Clover, Jujutsu Kaisen, or even Naruto Shippuden, there’s a good chance Yoshihara had a hand in it. But up until now, he’s been more of a behind-the-scenes powerhous. Contributing bits and pieces rather than leading an entire project front and center.
📚 What Chainsaw Man Is All About
Chainsaw Man is a wildly unpredictable and darkly emotional series created by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, the manga quickly gained a cult following for its chaotic world. Unfiltered storytelling, and a protagonist who’s as tragic as he is badass.
The story follows Denji, a broke teenage devil hunter who fuses with his pet devil Pochita to become Chainsaw Man after a betrayal that nearly costs him his life. From that point on, he’s dragged into a twisted world of devil-hunting agencies, nightmarish enemies, and morally gray allies—each arc diving deeper into the madness.
Fujimoto’s unique blend of absurd humor, emotional gut-punches, and raw, chaotic violence has helped Chainsaw Man stand out from everything else in the shonen space. It’s no wonder the series blew up globally.

🧨 Why Reze’s Arc Is Perfect For Him
The Reze Arc from Chainsaw Man is emotionally intense and action-heavy, filled with heartbreak, betrayal, and beautifully chaotic battles. It’s not just blood and gore—there’s a real emotional weight behind every scene. That’s exactly the kind of material Yoshihara thrives on. With MAPPA giving him the green light to direct the whole film, fans are expecting an explosion of quality, both visually and narratively.
🎥 Studio MAPPA + Yoshihara = Perfection?
We all know MAPPA doesn’t hold back when it comes to animation, and their work on the original Chainsaw Man season turned heads globally. Pairing that level of animation muscle with Yoshihara’s directing chops is a dream combo. This film could easily be the most visually intense Chainsaw Man project to date.
🩸 What Fans Can Expect
Expect brutal, lightning-fast fight scenes, raw emotion, cinematic tension, and a bittersweet love story. If Yoshihara brings even half of what he’s capable of, the Reze movie won’t just be great. It could redefine anime movie standards for action storytelling.
