During the battle between Reze and the members of Division 2 — when Denji and Beam take refuge in the building — one of the agents, Nomo, makes a curious remark after seeing Reze.
“That beautiful woman… haven’t I seen her somewhere before?”
“…No, that can’t be right.”
It’s a short line, but it implies that Nomo recognizes Reze’s face from somewhere.
A Hint Hidden in the Ending
Later, near the end of the movie, Captain Kishibe is shown discussing the aftermath of the incident.
He mentions that:
“An American journalist discovered the Soviet Union’s secret facility — the one with the children used for human experiments — and published their photos.”
This small detail connects directly back to Nomo’s line.
Reze’s Past and Nomo’s Memory
Reze was one of the children in that secret facility, the so-called “guinea pigs” of the Soviet Union.
It’s likely that Nomo saw one of those published photographs before.
That would explain why he felt he had seen Reze’s face somewhere before — he was remembering the picture of a child from the journalist’s report.
Why He Said “No, That Can’t Be Right”
There’s another layer to this scene: Weapon Humans don’t age.
Even after many years, Reze’s appearance remains exactly the same as in those photos.
When Nomo saw her, the resemblance must have been unmistakable — yet impossible.
That’s why he dismissed his own thought with, “No, that can’t be right.”
Conclusion
Nomo’s line is not just a throwaway comment — it’s a clue that ties Reze’s tragic past to the broader world of Chainsaw Man.
He recognized her not as a devil, not as an enemy, but as one of the lost children from the Soviet experiments, forever trapped in time.
