Chapter 209 of Chainsaw Man surprised readers by bringing nuclear weapons back into the plot, thus reopening the door for old characters and forgotten threats. Among the most discussed possibilities, the return of Reze, the Bomb Girl, rekindled theories that have been circulating since the first part of the manga.
The sudden appearance of nuclear bombs used by the United States against Soviet cities represents a significant advance in the narrative. Besides indicating the presence of the Demon of Nuclear Weapons, the chapter may pave the way for the return of Reze, whose origins are directly linked to the Soviet Union.
The reintroduction of nuclear weapons alters the balance in the Chainsaw Man universe
The use of nuclear weapons in chapter 209 not only heightened the tension of the plot, but also altered the previously established logic, when Pochita, the Chainsaw Man, had erased the concept of these weapons from the world by devouring the corresponding Demon. The fact that such weapons have resurfaced indicates that fear has returned among humans, which, in the universe of the work, allows for the rebirth of the related demon.
This event also provides an immediate boost to Yoru's power. The Demon of War grows stronger as humanity once again fears war and its most destructive weapons. The escalation of the conflict, therefore, is not merely symbolic, but has direct implications for the power of the characters and the return of important figures to the unfolding of the story.
Theories suggest the return of Reze, the Bomb Girl
The reappearance of nuclear weapons has brought back rumors about Reze, one of the most memorable characters from the first phase of the manga. Since her absence after Makima's defeat, fans have speculated about the Bomb Girl's fate. Thus, her disappearance fueled various theories, especially since other classic villains, such as Katana Man, had already returned during the second part of the story.
Now, with the bombs back in the spotlight, Reze's character gains strength. Since she is directly associated with the fear of explosions and mass destruction, the new context could represent a narrative opportunity to reintroduce her. Furthermore, her Soviet past connects directly to the events of the chapter, making her return even more plausible.
Reze could become a key player in the fight against the Demon of War
If Reze returns, her presence could be decisive in the plot. Not only as a symbolic figure of destructive power, but also as a possible ally of Denji. Considering that her nation of origin is among the most affected by the attacks, it is possible that she will return with more complex motivations, perhaps even with the desire to end the war alongside the protagonist.
This perspective opens the door for a direct confrontation between Reze and Yoru, in a potential conflict between the fear of bombs and the fear of war. With the manga exploring increasingly deeper layers of its characters, this confrontation could represent more than a simple battle, but a critique of the eternal cycle of destruction caused by powers born from collective fear.
