This time, the full version featuring the previously unreleased lyrics for the second verse will be featured as an insert song in the film. Maximum the Hormone shared the following comment: “HAWATARI NIOKU CENTI [2-hundred-million-centimeter-long blades],” which served as the ending theme for Episode 3 of the TV series and was also used as an insert song, makes a fierce return in Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc! This time, it’s unleashed in full throttle under the title: “HAWATARI NIOKU CENTI [2-hundred-million-centimeter-long blades] (70% Unlocked edit)”—yes, you finally get to hear what comes after the TV size version. LOL One reason we’d only ever released the 90-second TV cut was… well, because the second verse actually sings about Reze. And now—can you believe it? That very song ended up in the actual Reze Arc movie…! That makes it two wins in a row for my dream collab battles! LOL Thank you so much!!
