Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
No Country for Old Men Homage
A specific combat sequence where a character uses a two-legged grapple to choke an opponent is a direct visual reference to Anton Chigurh’s killing style in the Coen Brothers' film.
Shimazaki Toson's 'First Love' Reference
The imagery of the apple and the flower in the ending sequence is a literary nod to the famous Japanese poem about the purity and pain of a first romance.
The Joro Spider and Monarch Butterfly
In the pool scene, these insects appear as metaphors: the spider representing the seductive but deadly predator, and the butterfly symbolizing the fragile, poisonous beauty of Reze's life.
