I am still surprised that Fujimoto refuses to give us an answer regarding her disappearance from the manga. As everyone has pointed out, almost all the weapon hybrids returned in Part 2, yet Reze is still missing.

**Where is she?** \*

* Was she captured by Public Safety, dismembered, and put into boxes like they did to Denji?
* Did she escape back to the USSR?
* Is she with Kishibe?
* Or did something even worse happen to her?

# The Impact on the Story

I think if she were to return at this point, it might not actually be good for the story. Even though I want to see her back, it would complicate the relationship between Asa and Denji. If she returned and found Denji now, Fujimoto would likely either:

1. Kill her off after 5 to 20 chapters for some "misery-porn" slop.
2. Kill Asa and make Reze and Denji a couple (which feels impossible, and I honestly hope it doesn't happen).

There are way more possibilities than this since, well... it’s Fujimoto we’re talking about.

# The Movie Effect

Fujimoto really needs to give us an answer. Back then, people mourned her "death" for a while and eventually moved on or tried to but it wasn't like this. Now that the *Reze Arc* movie has been such a massive success, the number of people coping has tripled, maybe even quadrupled

it’s been six years since she disepeared from the manga... should we let it go? Should we stop coping at this rate? It seems Fujimoto won't return her. Even if he does, will it even be a good thing for Denji and the others?
