So I decided to read all of part 2 in one sitting, waiting for it to be finished before starting. I don't know what people are talking about when they say there are plotholes or rule changes. It's actually fairly consistent. The pacing without the weekly release would probably feel really bad though.
This outcome is basically, what the world would've looked like without Chainsaw Man. It's also not clear what Pochita actually is. For a hot minute I thought Pochita was secretly the death devil, but that clearly wasn't the case. What's clear is that the devil's machinations around the existance of something that could END existance was the motivating factor to a lot of events, but not ALL of them. I think it's why we don't see Aki, Makima, or Reze, but we do see Power. I think having sold one of his nuts, mentioned in chapter 1 of part 1, might've also affected his attitudes towards sex to some degree. Hard to say.
Still feels like a coming of age story to me. I identified with a lot of feels described in it. It's a really good series for the right kind of person, I think. Someone who feels like Denji will get hit HARD by this story.

On IG I saw a reel talking about Pochita being the "Hope" devil and I have a similar related theory. I think that pochita is the "humanity" devil but no as the "humans" but rather as the concept that represents the power of humanity to shape the world "empathy", "gratitued", "friendship", "ambition", "hope", etc. Through these we as human have shape our world think about desease that we've essentially erradicated and some don't even remember they existed, that is why pochita is the devil that devils fear is the devil of that concept of "humanity" that can eradicate them call it hope in these case, its something capable of much good but also harm, a common scenario through both parts even to the very end is people trying to take control over that power to re-shape the world.
That also ties on how pochita was wounded when it met Denji is possible it was fighting the gun devil at a moment where humanities "hope" due to all the deaths was at all time low. But it's also these adversity that allows us to thrive and grow and progress I think that is what Pochita was "experimenting" with what if there was no adversity and all "dreams" of humanity could become true when it witness Denji dying in a dead end, it went as far as shielding Denji from it's own memories but all of these resulted in Denji being unable to grow that is why we see Denji "regress" time and time again during the series.
People say that Denji did not grow but I think that the final chapter is the most growth we see from him since the end of part 1, the Denji we know would've saved Asa for purely selfish reasons and be fawning and trying over Asa after the minimal of praise dropping to his knees begging for s#x, however we see a Denji that is responsabile, that works, that is capable of leaving the chainsaw in reaching out to another person and we he get the praise he just accepts it and moves on, that moment of "humanity" is what re-awakens pochita and explains why he is the "Chanisaw Man" I know that is being memed out but it jsut so happen that it's moment of re-awakening and what asa said about "being a man with a chainsaw" is what made Pochita choose to bind to chainsaws as it's image
Which leads into my theory that ethereal devil concepts can choose to bind their images to objects like how Makima the control devil uses chains but is not the chain devil and the darkness devil chooses swords, it affects the alternate world since based on the way that we see Pochitas power work everything is connected in space and time it can make the current world come in and out of timelines just by eating and regurgitating the world where in some point in time pochita decided to bind to chainsaws is directly in connection with the world we saw where pochita is the "Chainsaw Man"

Does Gainax always do a "end of the world, the end"? I only know Eva and Fire punch
What was wrong with Kaguya-sama's ending? We thinking of the same manga?

plot holes :
how can denji survive for years , fighting dangerous devils for the yakuza-s , without pochita ?
page 3 :
goof : someone forgot to blacken the eye-patch of denji .
- denji : ... good dreams , like eating with a girl ...
- me : and at the end of this chapter , denji is eating with a girl , the blood fiend Power .
page 5 :
- ore-tachi want akuma 's power . and boku want devil hunter 's death .
- blood fiend : ... washi am ...
and the appearance of blood fiend is just a deus ex machina to rescue denji , lol .
and since blood fiend 's appearance , denji keeps staring at her body , especially in page 10 , he is staring at her cr0tch , lol .
and blood fiend can smell that denji 's heart is the sleeping "dog" pochita ?
and blood fiend calls denji with "unu" :
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/うぬ
note : the l0li girl is makima , not nayuta , because in this universe , she was raised by the japanese government , not by denji .
- blood fiend : ... the cat nyako ... , my only pet is denji ...
- denji : ... powerko-chan , weapon ...
page 18 , panel 1 :
we have the transformed class-rep , and the male teacher , of the class of asa ? they appeared in the 1st chapter of part 2 of chainsawman manga .
- asa : thank you , chainsawman / spiderman , ... because you are a man , and you were bitten by a chainsaw / a spider . btw , the 2021 marvel film : chainsawman in the multiverse , aka chainsawman : No Way Home .
- denji : ... senpai-s ...
the last page , of the japanese version , has this line :
" The end . Thank you for reading .
Please look forward to Tatsuki Fujimoto-sensei 's next work .
The final volume of the manga series will be released on June 4th . "
maybe this google 's translation is not correct 100 % .

Perfect ending. Any other ending would've been shit.
