Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc — Should You Stay for the Post-Credits Scene?
Stay in your seat after the Reze Arc—here’s what the Chainsaw Man movie’s post-credits scene reveals and why it matters for what comes next.
If you are wondering whether to bolt as soon as Chainsaw Man: The Movie: Reze Arc fades to black, short answer: don’t. There is a stinger, and it’s worth the three-minute sit.
Quick answers
- Is there a post-credits scene? Yes. Unlike Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, this one actually has one.
- How long do you have to wait? About 3–4 minutes after the ending, while the extremely catchy credits song 'Jane Doe' plays.
- How many extra scenes are there? Just one, and it comes after the full credits. No mid-credits tag.
- Does it tease what comes next? Yep. It nudges the story toward where the TV anime could be headed.
What actually happens in the post-credits scene
We pick up with Denji sitting alone at the Crossroads cafe, a flower bouquet in his lap, waiting for Reze. She is not coming, because Makima dealt with her. The cafe owner tries a little pep talk:
'You will meet someone perfect one day.'
And then, like a cosmic punchline, Power strolls in and immediately asks for the bouquet. Denji refuses to give her so much as a single flower and, in very Denji fashion, starts eating them instead. The two squabble in the cafe while the camera pulls back through the alley where Reze died. Over it all: an ominous ticking sound.
So… what does that mean?
Without diving into heavy spoilers, this scene is doing two things at once. On the surface, it closes the book on Denji’s brief, messy fling with Reze. Underneath, it points at the other major bond taking shape in his life: Power. If you have read ahead in the manga, you know their relationship is not just another crush; it hits on a different, more intimate wavelength than Denji’s fixation on Reze or his complicated feelings for Makima. The ominous tick-tick—think heart as much as clock—suggests Denji’s love life and literal heart are going to stay front and center.
Also nice: this is not one of those 10-minute endurance tests Marvel trained us for. You barely get through 'Jane Doe' before the tag rolls, and it actually matters. If you care about where the anime goes next, stay in your seat.
