Chainsaw Man - Ch. 232 - Thank You, Chainsaw Man

"Feels like I had a bad dream"
Bro, this ending feels like more of a dream than what actually happened in the story.
So it's an "it was all a dream" ending.
Welp, that's it.

The ending is surprisingly good for what it is. But man part 2 has been really disappointing of a run overall. At least Kobeni's car should still be alive, right?

 

[SirJulio]

Well... Thank You, Chainsaw Man. I guess.

Chainsaws still exist in the world, so either Pochita wasn't the Chainsaw Devil, or Pochita is still alive.

I am happy to see Power and Nayuta back. Denji's life is hard, but still good, which is what he wanted. A life worth fighting for. Is it a good ending? Yeah, it is better than most manga endings. Is it the best? No, but it is one I am happy to get.

I just going to say... It would have better if there was only part 1 and nothing else lol.

 

[jojoka]

Part 2 never happened.

 

[middle-the-nerd]

well i can't say this is unexpected coming from this author

Which is the most expected thing from Fujimoto

Being taken by complete fucking surprise

 

[Mangamoz]

Denji did not get his friends back, these are not the same people he grew to know.

These are just bizarro world versions of them.

 

[middle-the-nerd]

This is like when Forrest Gump started a marathon and then he suddenly said "I'm tired" and left

This kind of is how it seems fuji felt ngl

It really feels like his decision to end the series was very sudden and within the last few chapters

 

[rakkunburns]

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

 

[Crisxpy]

What???
I... i so confused man...
i'm the N#1 Fujimoto Glacer....
but doesnt this even makes everything in part 1 meaningless?
It doesnt feel right...
I....i'll take some time off.

 

[MalevolentBacon]

Denji did not get his friends back, these are not the same people he grew to know.

These are just bizarro world versions of them.

And that's not the Denji we grew to know, either. Chainsaw Man Denji fuckin died.

 

[talas]

And everything was a dream...

 

[Acolytus]

There is some stuff I wish they explored more and some characters I wish got more attention, but, overall, it's a pretty decent conclusion. Which as far as manga endings go is a pretty rare thing.

I'm also happy I can know just avoid anything related to this series in social media because, Jesus Christ, the discussion there is the most braindead shit I have ever seen. The curse of being a shounen series, I guess.

 

[Luke_chase]

I think this is the first manga that I’ve read that ended because the author was tired of it instead of the editor

 

[banas002]

Wtf is this, the entire part 2 is just so weird

 

[pink_rabbit]

its like the Tokyo Ghoul:re ending shit

I think this is the first manga that I’ve read that ended because the author was tired of it instead of the editor

Tokyo Ghoul was the same way man. It was awful

 

[catsdontsmile]

Wait have they actually confirmed no part 3 straight up?

 

[Nehona]

I'm not a fan of this shitty ending. If the author wanted to go this way, he could have done so in more chapters. Too many loose threads, we don't see a lot of characters that (should) be alive yet.

Also honestly, "nobody remembers their previous relationship" is a very shitty way to end things. It all felt like it was for nothing. Since nobody remembers anyway, it basically never even happened. They only have some vague impressions.. not enough.

A slightly better solution could have been either "only Denji remembers and tries to make the most of this world" or "Nobody remember but people still have strong feelings about those they were previously close to"

Son of a bitch, it just like Fire Punch all over again. Fuji, you bastard! Always leaves me with mixed feelings but Pochita in still his heart and chainsaw are a concept.
So, does it mean pochita still exists? What did he really erase? Because it seems like he only erased his name but himself.
