The incredible voice cast behind every chainsaw rev, every explosion, and every heartbreak. Whether you’re team sub or team dub, the Reze Arc movie delivers powerhouse performances that make you feel every emotion Denji experiences.
Let me walk you through every voice actor who’s making this movie an absolute masterpiece, from the romantic leads to the devil hunters trying to survive another day in this chaotic world.
Reze: The Bomb Girl Who Stole Everyone’s Hearts
Reze / Bomb Devil
As the title suggests, Reze takes center stage in this film, and both voice actors bring incredible depth to this complex character. Reina Ueda, who won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 15th Seiyuu Awards, captures Reze’s charm and deadly nature with her signature clear voice and wide acting range. She’s been voicing characters since 2012, starting with her breakthrough role as Naru Sekiya in Hanayamata.
On the English side, Alexis Tipton brings over 15 years of dubbing experience to the role. What makes her perfect for Reze is her ability to voice characters who appear sweet but hide darker sides, something she mastered as the dual-personality Moka in Rosario + Vampire and the time-manipulating Kurumi in Date A Live. Her performance earned praise from critics who called her portrayal “emotionally devastating yet beautifully nuanced.”
The Core Cast Returns
Denji / Chainsaw Man
Ryan Colt Levy’s journey to becoming Denji mirrors the character’s struggles remarkably. Before landing this career-defining role, Levy lived in what he called a “survival shack,” worked odd jobs, and commuted by bike after his car was destroyed. His authentic understanding of Denji’s poverty and desperate optimism shines through every line. Levy won the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards for Best English Voice Performance, and honestly, you can hear why in every scene.
Makima
Makima’s mysterious presence looms over the Reze Arc, and both voice actors nail that unsettling mix of maternal warmth and terrifying control. Suzie Yeung brings the same intensity she gave to Final Fantasy’s Yuffie, but with an added layer of psychological manipulation that makes your skin crawl.
Aki Hayakawa
Aki’s character development takes center stage in this arc, particularly his growing bond with Angel Devil. Reagan Murdock captures Aki’s exhausted determination perfectly, bringing emotional weight to scenes where Aki literally sacrifices months of his life to save his partner.
Power
While Power takes a backseat in the Reze Arc (she’s off having her blood drained), Fairouz Ai’s energetic performance still makes an impact in her limited scenes. Fun fact: Fairouz Ai is Egyptian-Japanese and brought that unique cultural perspective to Power’s chaotic personality.
New Faces Who Steal the Show
Beam (Shark Fiend)
Beam becomes Denji’s temporary partner and one of the movie’s most lovable characters. Natsuki Hanae, who voiced the kind-hearted Tanjiro in Demon Slayer, brings that same earnest energy to the loyal shark fiend who just wants Lord Chainsaw to notice him. His sacrifice scene will absolutely wreck you.
Angel Devil
Angel’s lazy yet tragic character gets major development in the Reze Arc. Casey Mongillo, who brilliantly voiced Evangelion’s traumatized Shinji, brings similar emotional depth to Angel’s desire to die and his unexpected connection with Aki.
Violence Fiend (Galgali)
The gentle giant Violence Fiend gets memorable moments helping Aki fight Reze. Yuya Uchida’s range from playing the terrifying Shigaraki to the peace-loving Violence shows his incredible versatility.
Kishibe
The legendary devil hunter Kishibe appears briefly but makes an impact. Kenjiro Tsuda, winner of the 15th Annual Seiyuu Awards, brings his signature deep, intimidating voice that commands respect.

Why This Cast Makes the Movie Special
What sets the Reze Arc movie apart is the chemistry between these voice actors. The English cast recorded their lines with awareness of each other’s performances, creating natural-sounding conversations that feel genuine. Ryan Colt Levy mentioned in interviews that he and the cast would often discuss character motivations together, even when recording separately.
The Japanese cast benefits from MAPPA’s tradition of having seiyuu record together when possible, which is why the emotional beats land so hard. When Aki catches Angel’s hand, knowing it drains two months from his life, you can hear the weight of that decision in both actors’ performances.
Behind the Microphone
Director Tatsuya Yoshihara brought a different approach to voice direction compared to Season 1’s Ryu Nakayama. Yoshihara encouraged more raw, emotional performances, especially in the intimate scenes between Denji and Reze. The result? Some of the most heart-wrenching voice acting in recent anime film history.
Kensuke Ushio returned to compose the film’s music, working closely with the voice cast to ensure the score enhanced their performances. The combination of Reina Ueda’s tender delivery and Ushio’s melancholic piano during the pool scene? Absolutely devastating.
