A brand-new post-release promotional video, fueled by Maximum the Hormone’s intense insert song “Hadawataru Nioku Centi (Zentai Suitei 70% Kaikin Edit),” was first revealed at the “Gekijouban Chainsaw Man: Reze-hen Special Panel” held at New York Comic Con, the largest pop culture event on the East Coast of the United States, on October 12 (local time).
This action-packed trailer, pulsating with the raw energy of Maximum the Hormone’s track, finally showcases Reze’s full transformation into the terrifying Bomb Devil.
