The Country Mouse and the City Mouse adds a meaningful layer to the Reze Arc, and looking at how that symbolism appears throughout the story really changes the way the characters’ struggles feel. Reze’s desire for safety, Denji’s fascination with a more exciting life, and the different viewpoints surrounding the fable all help shape the emotional arc. Understanding how these ideas shape their paths creates a clearer picture of what this part of Chainsaw Man is truly saying.
