Reze, also known as the Bomb Girl or Bomb Devil, is a major antagonist in the Chainsaw Man franchise, serving as the titular main antagonist of the Bomb Girl arc and its upcoming movie adaptation Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc.
She is a half-human, half-devil hybrid that initially appears as a girl with otherworldly beauty that seemingly loved Denji and forms a rather intimate relationship with him, Reze is revealed to be an assassin from Russia that was seemingly sent by the Gun Devil in order to obtain Denji's heart and to that end, she was accompanied by another devil, Typhoon Devil in order to accomplish her mission.
She is voiced in Japanese by Reina Ueda and by Alexis Tipton (who also voiced Kurumi Tokisaki and Mana Ouma) in the English dub.
Appearance[]
Reze is a young woman who appears to be in her mid to late teens. She has slanted green eyes, long black hair with a purple hue that is partially tied into a bun, and wears a choker that seems to have a pin on the side of it. In her first appearance, she wears a white shirt with long black sleeves and long black pants. When she works in the café, she wears an apron.
In her next appearances, Reze wears a white sleeveless shirt with a black ribbon surrounding her neck and black shorts with her true nature as a bomb demon being a half-naked lady that wears a bunch of dynamites that resemble an apron, mirroring her work as a café waitress, and has a bomb that resembles a "Fat Man" bomb as her head. When escaping, she wears a regular white t-shirt and a white hat.
Personality[]
At first, she seems to be a kind and gentle girl who has a crush on Denji, as it shows that she attempts to give Denji some sort of normal and functioning life such as bringing him to school or teaching him how to swim, which resulted in Denji becoming increasingly infatuated with her charm and demeanor. This was done due to Reze having a concern towards Denji's well-being due to the horrific life that he had in the past, and despite his life seemingly getting better thanks to Makima, she still suspects that Denji still has a poor life due to him being either treated as a pawn more than anything else that doesn't have any normal life such as going to school. Her behavior of caring for Denji was also justified as well since she seemingly doesn't have a normal life herself thanks to being experimented on by the Russian Government to become a super soldier.
However, as she reveals herself to work for the Gun Devil, her true personality is manipulative and brutal, as she is shown killing many Devil Hunters without care or mercy. She does, however, not enjoy killing and prefers to avoid it, unless necessary for her mission. At the same time, while she does confess towards Denji that her relationship with him was fabricated, deep down inside, she still likes Denji and is very surprised at why he ended up saving her despite her trying to kill him in the first place and fabricating their relationship. This was shown as she attempts to make amends with Denji by coming to the café as they promised until she met her unfortunate end thanks to Makima and the Angel Devil.

The next day, Denji met up with Reze at the restaurant she was working at and continued to get to know each other better. They studied together, She was helping Denji on how to read since his lack of education growing up and even mentioned what an unfortunate, hard life he must've endured for a kid of his age. So she came up with the idea to go to school with him at night time.
While they were bonding at school, they swam naked together, having a great time. After they were finished, Reze walked out to go to the bathroom and then encountered a strange man with a knife. She screamed and ran away from him while the bizarre man said while chasing her with a knife "I just want to talk". Reze ended up on the skyscraper of the school along with the strange man and while he made his first move by trying to stab her she evaded his attack, locked her legs around him, and got him in a sleeper hold. Thus killing the man and then reveals her true colors when Typhoon Devil appeared as he was scolded by Reze for conspiring with a murderer who tries to kill both her and Denji which resulted in him apologizing and paying his respects to her, referring to her as Lady Reze (or Reze-sama).

As Denji and Reze went to the festival together to see the fireworks, Reze has a talk with Denji in which she asks him to quit his job and run away with her. Denji at first is hesitant due to his crush on Makima, but after a little bit of convincing, Reze surprises Denji with a kiss.

However, one of Denji's companions, Beam the Shark Fiend, manages to interfere with Reze's business and save Denji from his impending doom.

However, as the Devil Hunters in the festival encountered Reze, Beam escapes from her as she murders the nearby Devil Hunter team.
Seeing that both Denji and Beam manages to escape Reze's watch as they managed to go to the Devil Hunter's Headquarters for the Second Division, she then poses herself as a Damsel in Distress who was seemingly chased by a Demon in order to trick the Devil Hunters in there much to her failure due to one Devil Hunter knowing that there is something off about Reze. As a result, she then decides to change her form into a bomb devil and attacks the headquarters in order to get Denji.
As Denji and his companions attempts to escape by a car, they then encountered Reze who carried several heads from the deceased devil hunter. However, they managed to escape from Reze's grasp with an ensuing fight with Violence Devil. As Denji manages to wake up from his unconscious state, Denji decides to fight against Reze and was rather disappointed with how he was treated afterwards, perceiving that every women that comes to him wants to kill him solely because they were obsessed with his heart. During the fight, Reze was then helped by the Typhoon Devil and was defeated by both Denji and Beam in the end.
