Is this really the end lads?
dead manga hold together by two schizos. Fujimoto derserved NOTHING adn should have been rotting on the street selling key chains of his trash art.
>>287141243I am a huge Power fan, and for the last 2 years I followed these threads closely while secretly hoping she’d win despite knowing it was almost certainly impossible. No matter how shitty people think the ending was, I want to thank you all for providing me with entertainment with your copes and meltdowns. You guys did almost as great job convincing me that she wouldn’t matter as you did yourselves, which made the rugpull even better.
Puh-puh-puh-power!
Powerbros....we have the last word
>>287141243Seems like itUnless... this was a break week, and it actually comes out next week?
>nearly every single poster /here/ is another poster skinwalking for attention or trying to get a kick out of falseflaggingwe deserve this btw
This is the thread
I have a hot takePower liked Denj romantically
>>287141486Yeah, pretty much that. I had little hope as well.
>
>>287141546Is it hot because you just shat it out?
>>287141546I think their dynamic best understood as a socially maladjusted autistic woman falling in love with her step brother who takes care of her
She did nothing wrong
>>287141243We still have the anime. It's not over yet.
>>287141540If you think about it, none of the thread personalities are actually real people. They are all just collective fiction. You though you were talking to a person but it was something not even human.
>>287141243Gotta wait till June but I think so. Ending was great.
>>287141636Makima gets an animePower gets an animeQuanxi gets an animeSanta gets an animeEven Tendo-chan gets an animeReze gets well uh
>>287141629She appeared in a shit manga of her own volition
Will Part 2 get any movies?
>>287141868Nope. MAPPA will sell their rights to the CSM IP to JC Staff once they're done animating part 2.Shart Poop will get the adaptation it fucking deserves.
>>287141868Who the fuck would want to animate part two? It's a studio suicide. Nobody likes it, so no high end production. If it's cheaply made, the few fans remaining will tear it apart.
>>287141868>>287141902>>287141915>Who the fuck would want to animate part twoTheres one man..
>>287141832Rezekeks deserve it for being annoying cunts
>>287141915Mappa literally invested everything into Chainsaw Man lol, they have to.
>>287141546>Power liked Denj romanticallyAre you an retard? Denji only loved Reze. The only time he ever tried to kiss a girl was with Reze. He was waiting for her at the cafe because of his love for her.
>>287141629Funny how both Denji and Asa had to part with their devil partners at the end, but while Denji remembers some vague memory of Pochita, Yoru was a blight upon Asa's life and Asa is now better off for having never met her. In the end, the two could not coexist, and Asa merely wished for death to stop War's rampage.
>>287141915It's time for The Dragon glorious comeback
>the MC actually wants to have sex with my wife!do shippers really?
>>287141960>Are you an retard?Read slower.If Denji loves Reze so much then why isn't she in his dream world?
>>287142017Yes, into NTR.
>>287142017No, we're trolling, lol. Do you see any women here?
>>287142017i'm not allowed to get married.
>>287141915Mappa is salvaging the culling games right nowMaybe they can miracle out something
Maybe this really was the perfect ending for Part 2.
>>287141486>>287141499>>287141504Powie a qtπ, you are on the right my dear lads
>>287141832Reze gets the best anime movie of 2025
>part 2 movie comes out.>still no GF to go with.
>>287142105Yup.
>>287142017The MC Asa, should put his cock inside me and make me the mother of his children.
To think on a random tuesday wed have a 600 post thread by this time and numerous others popping around. Now were in this slow ass thread thatll cap in like 2 more days.Hella GRIM, beyond over
>>287142105It is, it's fitting with part 2 as a whole>nonsensical>themathic mess>regresses the characters>bad artIt is the quintessential shart poo ending, the only difference is that its rushed instead of meandering as shart poo usually is. The rest of it checks.
I start to feel like it is. Oh well, I'd say it was a good run, but...it really wasn't.
>>287141243Was today's 18 page long uncensored DenPawa sex scene really necessary?
>>287142319Absolutely duh
>>287141546This is a slowreader take>>287141960This is a speedreader
where is the chappy?
>>287141546At the end of Part 1? Yes, but Dennis didn't consider her a romantic love interest yet. Sister at best
>>287142364Break week
Power doesn't like Denji romantically, stop belittling sibling love.
>>287141832Technically Reze will appear again in the anime
>>287142356Fujimoto made a oneshot "Yogen no Nayuta" in which the protagonist appears in one single panel bathing his sister. Fujimoto has written siblings bathing together before, not as much of a taboo over there.
This series ended a long time ago, why are you still talking about it religiously every day
>>287142425He said Power liked Denji romantically, you speedreading retard. Not the opposite which is what you're getting your panties on a twist.But since we are at it, Denji likes and likes Power romantically
>>287142379Why do you think Power, a devil, would even know what romantic means? She really didn't care about that. And if you think otherwise you just skipped every page with Power and speedread the manga.
>>287142425>Fujimoto has written siblings bathing together beforehe sure hasbonus points that power and denji are literally blood related now, which is right fujimoto's alley
>>287142434Stop asking the same question in every thread, you're annoying.

Oooohhhhv
>>287142519By the time you start enjoying the story you'll wish there were thousand more chapters, it's that kind of story.
>>287142460>He said Power liked Denji romantically, you speedreading retardIn your schizophrenic dreams after overdosing on spicslop maybe>But since we are at it, Denji likes and likes Power romantically"Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result" You are insane and deluded.>>287142488>IshowshitpieceMost people ARE cattle anon
>>287142624Uh oh, meltyTry reading the manga instead of just watching the movie
Are we getting onto the SBR thread when anime is coming out or not?
>>287141629She did nothing, period. Yoru and Asa were barely even characters.
>>287142613I just want to see end it, it's not really a straight story and its full of 100 chapter detours that don't really matter in the grand scheme
>>287141243Part 3 will be announced in this year.
>Reze posters still continuing the fightIt’s time to let go…
>>287142665Yoru did a lot actually but I guess if you haven't read the manga you wouldn't know that
>>287142660I don't even know what an sbr isI'll be reading my fantasy mangu unbothored, mostourized, focused, in my lane
>>287142624>In your schizophrenic dreams after overdosing on spicslop maybeRead this post again >>287141546He said Power liked Denji romantically. He did not say Denji liked Power romantically.
>>287142675June Short part 3 about Denji and Power getting sent by Boss Baby Nayuta to investigate a group of 7 serial killers (based off the 7 deadly sins) using illegal devil contracts contracts with some cameos of known characters and Asa shoujo antics
>>287142613Dude I watched over a hundred episodes of the anime. Even pure goonerbait that is Nico Robin couldn't keep me from wanting to do literally anything else.
>>287142678Babs were always the most dedicated waifufags and it wasn't even close.

>>287142719lol
>>287142719I'm still here, man. It's just got old and I better just talk about her when some non retarded opinions are involved.
>>287142702I said chapters from the manga, not the anime, I never watched that myself.
>>287142724>Did not fuck AsaKEKI meant did not fuck DenjiShe definetly did fuck Asa
>>287142735iirc Oda said you can skip all of post TS up to eghead
>>287142488Wow im gonna start reading juan piss. it looks really interesting
>>287142742You should read SBR. It's a separate story and it's the only part that actually has impressive writing.
>>287142755Isn't it adapted one to one?
I don't understand P's logic.He has been seething and dooming in /csm/ for like 2 years and then a single chapter coems out which is LITERALLY the end and a shitty one at that which ruins everything and now his waifu is the last stain on a garbage manga. However in his total delusion he sees this as a win?How? You got a waifu in the biggest flop of the century and you will also forget about her and the series in like a month. You could have had everything but this here is "ok" for you?
>>287142774To be fair, a netflix csm live action adaptation would look just as sillyTry to imagine the muscle devil with shitty special effects, or Power with clearly plastic horns
>>287142798It's simple really:
>>287142695>ch 90>"Denji is my buddy"Your waifu got Nobara'd
>>287142798>He has been seething and dooming in /csm/ for like 2 yearsHe has not, he has defended shart poo constantly and called its critics illiterate until 231 came out and he suddendly started shitting on it and claimed he always didYou fell for his "we've always been at war with eurasia" gaslighting
>>287142798I literally don't give a shit if some guy who doesn't even exist thinks he won some argument. Holy shit, man.
My beautiful queen Asa Mitaka... It was nice to meet ya...
>>2871427742 Pees in a pod
Sanji is far better written than Denji, there's a whole character arc where Sanji has to live on an island of fags for two years and he was crossdressing too, it's perfect.
>A live action Power going naked with nothing but plastic hornsIn 2026 and Netflix? Impossible lol
>>287142812You must be joking. Haven't you seen the Dragon's vision?
Why do people come here seeking validation for the manga they like?
>>287142742Ignore this dude >>287142779You should read or watch Part 1 to 6 because Part 7 has shit ton callbacks that makes the story even more enjoyable.
Uh oh>>287142812CSM would look fine in live action actually

>>287142798It's his dependency on being humiliated. I don't think it's sexual.
>>287142719Powerfag was really a Denjifag more than anything else.
I want to pet 232 Denji
>>287142719Fujimoto delivered the heads of every schizo on a silver platter to P.
>>287142895>>287142939Sorry to break it to you but your threads are now public bathroom toilet stalls after the series ended
>>287142972So powerfag looks like that? Right?
>>287142880>shitflixHBO or Amazon>>287142954Season 2
>>287142425Not gonna comment on whether or not Power wanted to fug Denji, but its disingenuous to pretend that chapter 71 was just a simple case of “two siblings bathing”. The imagery is 100% meant to be sexual, Denji remarks how strange it is that it doesnt feel arousing despite Power sitting in his lap. The blood sucking scene afterwards is just the two in the missionary position, and you can’t pretend thats just willful misinterpretation. The point of the chapter is that something sexual is happening but Denji isn’t turned on for whatever reason.Don’t go around pretending that its just some Japanese bathing culture thing when in the very same chapter Power leglocks him and grips the sheets while moaning.
>>287141243
I miss her.
>>287143020Okay I got one going for season 2. Anyone agree or disagree? Is season 2 going to just be all of international assassin or are we getting Aki-47 and the final part 1 arc?>AmazonKeep Seth Rogen and the dude writing the Boys show away from the writing room

We love Tatsuki Fujimoto.

>>287143215Enter Part 3
>>287143369What are you talking about? It's the break week.
I think it's safe to assume only the true fans of Fujimoto's manga are here now.
>>287143369Fujimoto left Denji with a piece of Chainsaw Man in his heart just like he still has himself.I'm sure Fujimoto will do something with it one day.
Do you remember those break week posts? Now prepare for 2 months without a chappy posts.
>15k files in my chainsaw man folder.

>>287143438The great filtering, I guess
>>287143115I hope it's a 2 parter with half being IntAss and the other half Gun-ControlRealistically it will be all IntAssWorst case scenario half of it will be the Reze movie cut into episodes
Part 2 was never as good once it skipped Asa's time in the CSM Church or showed her dealing with fame other than a few brief moments.

My favorite part of Chainsaw Man was when Makima came out of the computer screen and stared at me with the most contemptuous eyes I've ever seen, then gave me a handjob while still staring at me like that. I cried for 5 hours afterwards
>>287141540>nearly every poster /here/ was another fumiko larping as other people to each other

>>287143590The only two rezefags who existed for like two and a half years...
>>287141915You're not a fan if you don't want to see denji getting raped or yoru mahou shoujo and singing the American anthem over the nuke corpses in an anime
>>287143637I really wish Fujimoto explored Pochitas and the Horsemen’s relationship more,
Do you all think that chainsaw man will get a different ending for the anime adaptation? If part 2 gets an anime at all that is.I’m coping super hard right now but I hope Fujimoto takes a break and then comes back to the series, continuing it in some form, tying up loose ends in a satisfying way and giving us a dream that the lackluster current ending was nothing but a mass hallucination. Either some sort of part 2 continuation where the ending doesn’t happen or something where the ending we have now is actually a part of something bigger, and, is not real.Again, this is mega-copium and I wish Fujimoto luck with things.A fellow can dream and wish for this stuff.
>>287143579Power: endgame, canonReze: relies entirely on headcanon and fanart, completely erased from the timeline and permanently forgotten
I'm still analyzing the ending and Part 2. Lots of interesting stuff.Falling Devil arc is still the biggest challenge for me. It's hard to fit that arcs messages in a nice box as well as some plot points being introduced that will never get a resolution now. There's still so much to discover and recontextualize, I'm gonna be busy for another month.
I love my wife Kima and I love our adorable daughter!
>>287143494
>>287143590>the IMG_ guyRandom anon is fine.>>287143491I too hope that somehow mappa finishes all of part 1 in one big season. Though a part of me wishes they just did international assassins and Gun/Control as movies so I can take my friends to the movie theater with me to see it. Plus unlimited popcorn.
>>287143579Power - wins part1, wins part2. Undefeated, undisputed, reigning, defending wife of Denji.Ratze - kwaboty, ACK
>>287143763>all of part 1 in one big season.that would be a total mess
>>287143763>Random anon is fine.Too late. I already have a dossier and all your pictures with filenames so I can pretend to be you to ruin your reputation

>>287143707Nah, we are getting most of chapters 98-232 the way they are. Mappa CEO is as recently sucking hos own dick when talking about chainsaw man money.MY ULTIMATE COPE: make Reze movie two take place between part 1 and part 2 and just kill her off to explain why she's not back, one last blaze of glory. she definitely won't fucking happen but fuck it.>I wish Fujimoto luck with things.Same even with me not really gelling with the ending.>A fellow can dream and wish for this stuff.Keep on dreaming fren.

Ah yes yes.
>>287143965God, this all amounted to fucking nothing didn't it
>>287143940Okay but only if Fujimoto has some input on themHow long was the time gap between part 1 and part 2?

>>287144102see >>287142319
If I'm understanding thread meta correctly, Power defeated Makima and Reze defeated Asa in the semifinals and now Power and Reze are facing off in the finals. Is that correct?
>>287144213>I wish I was dead That's the kind of face this man is making when he's basically realized that his whole life revolves around being bossed around by 2 different women (Power and Nayuta in this case). It truly is over for him. I'd kill myself if it weren't for the fact that Power can probably revive him or some shit like that.
>Theres still 16 pages leftman we have to wait to fucking july
New chappy next week.And if not that week, then the week after that, because it was a break week.And if not that week, then the week after that, because it was a break week.And if not that week...
>>287144270Theyre all millennials and zoomers, trained to put mids on a pedestal and hate themselves and other men
>>287144309No? Reze didn't even get to appear in the final chappy, so the current thread meta is now Power vs Asa. Reze has been left behind completely. Erased from the timeline, even. Babs are basically fighting over literally nothing.
16 chainsaw man pages in my ass.
>>287144213That's mainly just for the instant loss gag I'm pretty sure.
gay
>>287144309No, Reze literally did Jack shit in part 2. Honestly it was disappointing.>>287144330We are lost
>>287143965Aren't they made from PS people? Don't they represent something relating to how Chainsaw Man is worshipped by some? Maybe how these fiends called after angels are something that defies the initial assumptions about devils? Don't they put Beam's character and motivation into perspective? These two pages of a brief scene have more meaning and sparked more discussion than entire arcs in part two. Infinitely better than themes and such.
>>287144366Haven't seen too much in the way of them arguing for any relevance in the nu-timeline, they're just still shipping her with Goodji.
>>287144366I haven't seen Asa mentioned in this thread so I just assumed she was also knocked out of the running.
>>287141243That's what you get for trusting this menace.
>>287144435It probably wouldve been crap. Just look at what happened to Yoshida...
>>287144500Also Quanxi and Denji. The only returning part 1 character that didn't suffer from appearing in part 2 was Barem.
>>287144309No, if there's anything like that it's Power vs Asa since they are the only ones that showed up in the endReze is probably a normal girl in Uzbekistan
>>287144538Barem wasn't really a character in part 1
>>287144449Up to interpretation, but at face value she seems to be out. Denji has a small moment with her but there's some implication that they're headed on different paths.
>>287144440Of course...
>>287144556Again, I'm not really seeing any Asa posts so I assumed the last remaining asasissies just faded away into nothing.
>>287144634Wouldn't really call that arguing. Fantasizing is a free action in /csm/
>>287144664I've seen themIn fact, this Rezefag trying to force a Reze vs Power fight is a new phenomenom. Quite forced if you ask me, must be the usual suspects

>>287144627Anyone remember Yoshida talking about man and bear returning to their own worlds for the benefit of each other back in the aging arc? Could the same be applied to Asa and Denji?
>>287144664Anons get mad when I horny post about sucking Asa's cock. And now when I get horny I just run off to my Asa bf. Just now I was actually thinking about leaving /csm/ for good.

>>287144743She's so perfect. If she were my wife I wouldn't even make her family pay any goats as dowry
>>287144449Asa is literally on the lead because Denji and her have a shoujo setup with both blushing, also Denji getting a crush on Asa.
>>287144688It's not like it's outta place in this dream like ending at least, it's nice to hope for the best...
>>287144835>shoujo setupWith sakura
>>287144844That's pretty much my logic. Everything is already too perfect in this timeline, there's nothing wrong with dreaming just a little more.
>>287144765>Power didn't like him like that.This has to be the most retarded angle you fags can come up with. It was less nonsensical when it was said Denji didn't liked Power romantically>We don't even know what new Power feels either.It's the same Power. She was literally attracted to Denji by default.
>>287144785Thanks Anon, I'm glad I didn't get that choker because we're meeting his family this month. I've met his younger brother, he's very funny, like every word he said was a nice joke I was glad my Asa bf at least has one good family member. Meeting my parents is out of question, so I'm nervous, I haven't done things like this in years. I spoke with a few good Anons here, I wish all of them the very best. Bye.
>>287144699It was nice from Fujimoto to end the manga right after i was forced to take over the family business
>>287144436>Don't they put Beam's character and motivation into perspective?What perspective?
>>287144835Nay, if there be no sissies left in /csm/ to champion her cause then she be out of the running. Verily.
Did fire punch win?
>>287143746Heaven
>>287144798they didn't incarnate as cute little girls, unforgivablemaybe the new world fixes that
>>287144964CSM 1 > FP > CSM 2
>>287144664Still reeling from the backstab from Power posters. They were so quick to call Asa a loser and saw she's trash once Power came back.
>>287144964Yes, definitely. CSM is an inferior version of Fire Punch.
Do you guys think Fujimoto is in a bunker to hide from the MAPPA hired assassins?
>>287144893>It's the same Power.A similar Power but we won't see her deeply. Nayuta changed a lot, Power probably did too.>She was literally attracted to Denji by default.Yeah but not like that.
>>287141243Yes, it is
>>287145063They still have at least two adaptations lined up that will make them a ton of money. No one's holding a grudge against Fujimoto.
>>287145063MAPPA has other shit on like 20 different plates while still paying animators only slightly more than 4chan jannies
>>287145063doesn't matter as long as they can sacrifice sakuga slaves for the yoru vs pochita scenes
>>287145063>MAPPA hired assassinsBut he just brought back Pawah, one of the most marketable CSM characters, why would Mappa hate him?
>>287141832Power gets a shitty ending
>>287144893>it was said Denji didn't liked Power romanticallyHe didn't.
>>287145001Asa is worst girl and always has beenPower is best girl and always has beenWe are in different leagues
>>287141243That’s weird, I opened Manga Plus and the new chapter hasn’t come out yet. Is it a break week? Why wasn’t there any notice beforehand? How long is the break going to last? Could this be some kind of April Fools’ prank by Fujimoto?
>>287144844>>287144872Almost like you couldn't help dreaming, just a bit...
>>287144102fumigga
>>287144940No, because outside from this place in both eastern and western side there are lot fanarts and content of AsaDen and DenReze about in this new world meanwhile i haven't seen any PowDen content that isn't just them being buddies and best friends.
>>287145143Chainsaw man is on hiatus until Fujimoto watches 1000 more american slop moviesYou will now feel how Berserk's readers felt around 2009
The shitstorm made interested and I marathoned the manga over the past few days, what the FUCK happened here? Part 1 had a bunch of retarded stuff too, but still.
My main problem with the ending is that there are no CSM video games I mean seriously what the FUCK, indie devs can crank out action games and you're telling me these DUNCES at Shueisha can't even license out a bum-ass arena fighter? What is going on??
>>287144964None of the characters touched my heart like almost the entire cast of CSM; I'm not saying they're bad or that I don't like them, they just didn't move me.
>>287145105>In the last chapterYeah, so, as I was saying, how long before Fujimoto is dead?
where part 2 was a Big Lebowski-like manga, part 3 will be a White Heat-like manga.
>>287145206With the abysmal quality of anime games in 2026, that might be a good thing.
>>287143103Me too...
>>287145143Endless 232 begins now
Do you think there's any possibility that the author of Dandadan taking a month long break is related to him maybe helping Fujimoto with the new chapter of Part 3?
>>287145254No, you are a schizo
>>287145206I would love a CSM game by grasshopper manufacture, but let's be real it would another shitty arena fighter.
>>287145254>the author of DandadanKeep that nigger away. The last think CSM needs is cuckoldry.
>>287145254Zero. He's already established as a mangaka, I don't see him returning to being an assistant. That's not even considering that Part 3 is probably not happening.
>>287145254It was a mistake, there is no break.
>>287145281Aira's hot though.
>>287145229Hypothetical Fart Pee will be about all the different Denjis from across the multiverse searching for PochitaIt will be even worse slop than Shart Poo but still make Fujimoto money
>>287145300She's a homewrecking whore that doesn't even like Okarun for real.
>>287145301Chainsaw man into the Denji verse
>>287145294Oh fuck
>>287145330I don't read DDD, I just fap to the girls.
>>287145339worryingly plausible.
>>287145293>Part 3 is probably not happening>probably KEK. You retards are still clinging on to the idea of a part 3? Don't be so retarded and delusional.
>>287145339>Reze is his Gwen StacyIt all makes sense.
>>287145339Denji but he's a favelado from Brazil, Power is a bunda whore, and they're Makima's sicarios hunting the Cartel Devil
>>287145229O brother, where art thou Arc
>>287145426Nah, I just believe in the cash grab.
>>287145427So she's the first love interest that dies at the hands of the hero's nemesis? huh...
>>287145385I would hate if this idea gets stolen by Fujimoto and not fucking Grave year Frankensteined Pochita.>>287145427I prefer venomze over Spider-gwenze>>287145429When art inmates life
>>287145459In the original timeline, pretty much. She dies by the hands of someone close to the hero, not necessarily the rival. CSM just brought her back for no reason which sort of voids it. Would be neat if this is new world is the Spider-Gwen equivalent and she's the hero while Denji is mostly just a dude.
>>287145067>Nayuta changed a lot??
How will anime only viewers cope with Reze returning to absolutely zero acknowledgement or fanfare and Denji just cutting her into chunky salsa without even giving a fuck - and then no further mention?
>>287145206They can, but they wont because it's not as profitable as they want to>>287145001>>287145137Same poster>>287145135Yet a few chapters ago he was talking about having a friend he can have sex with while reminiscing Power
>>287145067As much as denji changed meaning
>>287142701CSM: Buddie stories spin-off
>>287145501>CSM just brought her back for no reason which sort of voids it. To be fair, marvel does the same shit with Gwen(clones, sins past, Gwen being carnage in USM, spider Gwen)>Would be neat if this is new world is the Spider-Gwen equivalent and she's the hero while Denji is mostly just a dude.The scenario would be that Reze somehow gets to be the hero(chainsaw Reze or still just bomb girl) and Denji wants to be just like her to fulfill his own dreams but gets fucked over by a devil contract/gets killed by Reze on accident.>>287145516They will be pissed by get over it in time.
Crazy that people with zero theological knowledge are bummed out that they dont understand whats going on
>>287145623Yeah I was thinking Bomb Girl timeline. But yeah he would die by that logic, though without bending his character into a Peter Parker he'd probably just continue on his normal rhythm and just distantly wish he was that cool.
>>287145635To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Chainsaw Man
>>287143579They absolutely hated this one
>>287145509She's not possessive of Denji. She doesn't really listen to him or demand his affection.
They all have patches
I think Power is cute
>>287145426NTA, but we don't know because even the nips pointed out that Fujimoto left enough sequel bait if he wants to do a Part 3 or spin-off sequel. Also the future isn't set on stone because a lot can happen in the meantime like for example nobody expected Gege to do a JJK sequel so soon after JJK ended.
>>287145516Animeonlies will all have converted into Powerfags after the Kobeni's Car scene with Reze all but forgotten as a filler FOTM character
>>287145724all the right too
>>287145733Everyone said this.
>>287145733Dangerously cute
>>287145740Meanwhile the nips
Having Power's excess menstrual juice with my morning coffee.
Its been a week and "people" are still malding at Power winning?
>>287145785I don't think anyone other than Powerfags sees it as a win for Power. The malding is because the ending is lazy garbage.
>chainsaw devil ate itself>chainsaw is a known entity in the new universeDUHHHH?Make it make sense...
>>287145785Rezefags thought them winning a throwaway character poll will somehow sway Fujimbo into making a Rezeden endingCompletely utterly Delulu
>>287145776Is there any other manga that lost this much popularity and never managed to recover?
>>287145844Prease understand,Themes and such
Pichita is the chainsaw man devil not the chainsaw devil
>>287145844pochita was actually the Chainsaw Man devihe ate himself and denji was no longer a protagonist & the series ended
>>287145674If you're not well versed in symbolism a vast chunk of dialogue and situations make zero sense
I hopped on to Gachiakuta. It's fun, but I miss Chainsaw Man.
>>287145740>nobody expected Gege to do a JJK sequel so soon after JJK ended.I'll convinced that Gege is a gambling addict, or some other variety of financial retard, and only pumped out Modulo to secure a quick injection of cash after blowing the millions he'd already made on JJK. I just no basis nor proof for this theory. I just prefer it to the thought that Gege sincerely believed that shit was worth writing.
>>287145776It would be interesting to see exactly how much the movie impacted manga sales of part 1I bet a lot of people bought their Reze volumes
>>287145889source?
>>287145844It doesn't matter t. wise man
You don't remember them.
>>287145917If we got the special volume Korea got, I would've bought that shit, so yeah.
>>287145776Anon, what the actual fuck the manga sales has anything to do with if CSM gets a Part 3 or a spin-off sequel? like fucking Boruto sells worse than CSM and other manga, yet they keep it around. Also even fucking MAPPA outright said that CSM is their most important project and it's extremely profitable for Shueisha, Jump+ and MAPPA.
>>287145908You're allowed to read more than one manga at a time, anon. Also, just be glad you didn't pick DanDaDan. It's not going well for us right now.
>>287145850Makes sense though. Power’s been with Denji since almost the beginning.
>>287144742I think Asa's character ended up having what they wanted; she got everything she wanted thanks to Yoru, and she was more selfish for wanting to save Denji but that feels bad, like with Denji, because they didn't do it on their own. Pochita and Yoru were the ones who accomplished that, Maybe "In a devil-less world, Adam and Eve will..."
>>287145951Is a foid getting cucked really that bad?
>>287144696
>>287145948Then they should get to fucking work and finalise part 1 by christmas
>>287145926the world still remembers what chainsaw s are but not chainsaw man
>>287145952Denji spent the entirety of Shart Poo going "boy I sure do miss Power" inbetween mewling "seeeeeeeeeeeeeex!" so I wasn't even surprised when Power showed up
>>287145680Always causing the best meltys
>>287146018
>>287146049Being the peoples favorite and undisputable one true love seems to do that to people.
>>287145908MAD is pretty fun, all things considered. Although I find the first couple of chapters to be more interesting than what comes after. I thought the story was gonna be all about MC getting schizophrenic flashbacks about his little sister in a world filled to the brim with hostile aliens ready to kill you and devour your corpse at any given time.
>>287146011You only got half the memo. It's double NTR. The male and female lead are both being cucked. It's obviously bait, but it's also a fucking terrible way to treat every character involved. Especially the ones who have legitimate feelings for the main couple and are obviously going to get shit on for it. I'm not even angry at this point. I'm just sad.
>peoples favourite>you get banned if you question itRedditze rats on the brink of suicide
>>287146098Who's Momo's bull, Jiji?
>>287145948If Fujimoto wants to do a part 3 they'll certainly publish itI don't think Fujimoto wants to do a part 3
>>287146142Indeed.
>>287146098Wtf I just finished season 2 the other day lmao and THAT'S what it becomes CHRIST>>287145908Gachiakuta honestly seems pretty kino other than the some of the annoying hoodweebs in the fanbase
>>287146173Yeah, like that is a reasonable line of thought. But like i said before we don't know if Fujimoto is done with CSM or going to announce it later on.
>>287146078God, I love Gothze so much it's unreal.
>>287146216I guess it makes sense then, he was introduced in that way.
>>287146249It just looks so fucking good on her. She was meant to be an alt girl.
>>287146228It gets worse when you know that both Momo and Okarun have already confessed, but their getting together as a couple was stonewalled by Momo turning into a pygmy and saying "wait until I'm back to normal so I can accept your feelings the right way", only to finally turn back to normal... with fucking amnesia.
>>287146249
Btw, what happened with the fake chainsaw man?What was itt, and what was the fucking purpose of it?
>>287146360>acceptacceptacceptacceptacceptaccept
>>287146367>what was the fucking purpose of it?Purpose? Sir, this is a Fujimoto manga.
>>287146360What's the catch? Sounds too good to be true
>>287146367He was a good bowler
>>287142579>series so bad even its own author says 80% of it is skipable garbage
>>287146420Goth gfs are all insane bpd girls with a grudge with every ex they have ever had I guess some of us are into nutjob girls so that's probably not a catch to some posters
with the reset and stuffs, does that mean the shark man still lives?
>>287146338That's actually stupidly contrived
>>287141243just finished reading the last few chapterswhat the fuck was that shit???
We love Power!
>>287146530They're unironically the best in bed from my experience.
>>287146580>what the fuck was that shit???Big Lebowski
>>287146603Well yes, a whore with BPD will always be better in bed than a whore with no BPD, this is common knowledgeThough was it worth fucking up my life for two years over it? No.
>>287142972Kishibe and Quanxi’s son.
>>287146580Heh. Themes and such.
>>287146577Believe me you have no fucking idea just how contrived it all actually is.
>>287146580Donnie Darko/Stone Ocean ending.
>>287146647I'd do it time and time again. Probably helps that I'm a huge M in bed
>>287146647>Though was it worth fucking up my life for two years over it?So glad I only fooled around with the chick who had Histrionic Personality Disorder for two months before realizing what I was getting myself into.
>>287146648>Denji in this new world was trained by Quanxi instead of Kishibe
I can’t believe I wasted so much time arguing with you retards.
>>287141243If you think about it, power died like 3 times
>>287146680more like retarded fucking shit endingfujimoto is a fucking hack

>>287146929Yeah I know.
>>287146898Making Reze happy...
>>287146338Is there a single amnesia arc that isn't totally creatively bankrupt? Especially ina quasi-romance series. I feel like it's been the punchline for people making fun of soap opera asspulls for decades.
>>287146588yep yep
>>287144917Denji looking like a war general straight out from an otome game in that fanart.
>>287147088Fire Punch gave us this kino page because of an amnesia arc
Do babs want to fuck reze or BE reze?
>>287144917Cuteeee
>>287147120>part 3 denji
>>287147088None that I know of. I think amnesia can actually be an interesting storytelling device (FFVII is obviously the best example of this), but I've never seen it introduced abruptly in the middle of a story and not be moronic as fuck and a total waste of time. And Tatsu has most definitely not utilized it well in the slightest.
>>287147120That's the intended purpose
>>287147088There are multiple amnesia arcs that are written well but normally they tend to be solved quickly, meanwhile for romance series it's done in order to drag on the series.
>>287145135Here's the thing, speedreader. While Denji outwardly acts like a coombrain, what he actually wants is a human connection. What your panels proive is the thing already known: until the point where Denji almost completely mindbroken by all the bullshit happening to him, he doesn't care about just sticking it in. Especially not in a girl crying out about being scared of naughty things. But in a new timeline, where they have enough time to work out Power's immediate issues, before horrible things start happening, and Denji himself is not so maladjusted, he would absolutely go to the next stage.
>>287147175Kino>>287147228Scholar
>>287147266
>>287146648Now that point out, he feels like a combination of Quanxi and Kishibe, only diference is that Denji doesn't get any pussy, unlike them
>>287147178>I think amnesia can actually be an interesting storytelling device (FFVII is obviously the best example of this)How?
>>287147315quanxi (a lot of pussy) + kishibe (0 pussy) = denji (a little bit of pussy)
>>287147122>thinking the retards "discussing" manga here have even read Fujimoto's most popular works
>>287147368>kishibe (0 pussy)Kishibe gets tons of pussyHe just can't get the one he wants >>287147315He feels more like a mix of Kishibe and Aki to me
Fujimoto foreshadowed everything in the art of Volume 1.>Denji with the patch, a hole where Pochita should be, the black cat of bad omen and the sign that says "Power"Holy shit
>>287147452that's bullshit, but I believe itwhat about the raspberry sign though?
>>287145662Denji's gullible. In a "bomb bitch timeline" he would have ended up as a Yuko or Fakesaw man.
>>287147452
>>287147452this doesn't make part 2 any good though
>>287147452Aside from the cat those are all references to things that happen in the first volume (Denji's childhood, Denji thinking Pochita was dead in chapter 2, Power's introduction).
>>287147364Because Cloud's Mako-induced combination of amnesia and delusion makes his character far more interesting. And it's not something that was contrived out of thin air for cheap drama. It's a fundamental part of him, and fits perfectly within the overall narrative of the story. But this is /a/, and hardly the right place to have this discussion.
>>287147624Anon, you are wrong. In the illustration Denji has an eyepatch which means Pochita isn't in his heart. The moment Pochita became his heart, he immediately regained his lost eye.
>>287147452Foreshadowing =/ good storyI can have an ending in mind since the first second and if my story it shit it will simply be premeditated shit instead of accidental shit (which is legally worse)
As a casual who recently watched S1 and then saw the last chapter, its pretty obvious that the winners are Power and Asa, I would've liked to see Aki and Himeno though.
I think the last cover will go to Denji and Asa together.
asa football
>>287147452>the "O" of power is a vulvaBravissimo, goonmoto
>>287144964FP had worse characters but it was more cohesive, never felt like it was going in circles and even the retarded Fujimoto style ending was alright. Also, it has so many pages that are immediately iconic to anyone that reads it.
>>287147699>ball coming towards her>already in mid-kickwhat a cute uncoordinated dork
How does no one talk about how Yoru, one of the 3 main characters of part 2 just got offscreened kek?Like holy shit to me the most interesting part of part 2 was the dynamic between asa and yoru and how one was spilling into the other. It felt like it was going to climax with them fusing or some shit, but we got ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING of her in the final chapter even though the 10 previous ones were her vs denji.Like, what the actual fuck.His editor must have wanted to rope when he saw the chapter.
>>287143862>https://files.catbox.moe/ktmet2.jpgThis was canonically one of Yoru's many deaths
>>287147773>why does no one talk about 16ruThe only people who care about Shart Poo characters are Asasissies and they hate her guts.
>>287145948>fucking Boruto sells worse than CSM and other manga, yet they keep it around.Bort is in V Jump, the magazine that doesn't rely on sales since it is only an ad for bigger franchises like Yugioh or in its case Naruto
>>287143898>even with me not really gelling with the endingBecause there's nothing to get. It was an axed ending, but it was he author swinging instead of the publisher.
>>287147773>His editor must have wanted to rope when he saw the chapter.Nah, Lin is his best friend.
>>287147834Then he needs an actual editor that won't just suck his dick and let him be a retard.
>>287147653Wrong about what? All I said was that they were references to things that already happened in volume 1, not that the illustration itself literally happened.
>>287145948you're replying to a snkek desperately trying to push CSM as being a worst shitshow than their kusomanga
>>287147892Both were trainwrecks but CSM fell off way earlier. Half this thread doesn't even give a shit about anything that happened after part 1.
>>287147088Haibane Renmei is kino but not romance
>>287147827Burrito used to be in WSJ which performed fucking terrible compared to new manga, even in V-Jump, Dragon Ball Super manga outsells it. Also there are manga that still sell worse than most Jump+ titles like CSM, DDD and SxF yet they keep those works around.
I am a proud cuck.
>>287148001I am a flying pig.
>>287148001Okarun...
>>287147922>Both were trainwrecks but CSM fell off way earlierbetter to derail earlier and injure the few people onboard (CSM's ending) than enter a high speed collision with another train both fully packed with passengers, near a chemical plant (SnK's ending)
>>287147922>Half this thread doesn't even give a shit about anything that happened after part 1.This is a lie because are literally talking about both parts.
>>287148001Asa...Reze...
>>287148023*we are talking about both parts
>>287148036neither are cucks tf you on about?
>>287148001Fujimoto...
>>287148054cucked by Power
>>287148073... in my dreams!
>>287148054They both like to WATCH as Power MILKS Denji dry on a daily basis
i stopped reading a long time ago did we get an asa sex chapter?
>>287147773For me it was the Denji Nayuta relationship and we got like 5 chapters of that before the brat got ACK'd off screenShart Poo is just a failure by most metrics
>>287141546100%
>>287148114no
>>287148114>did we get an asa sex chapter?Yeah... About that...
>>287141629SHE KILLED THE MANGA
>>287148022Nah being in these threads while part 2 was coming out was depressing.The SnK ending was some of the most hilarious shit that has happened on this site.
>>287148148POOSHITA did it.
>>287148114
There's nothing romantic in Denji's and Power's relationship. Sure they sleep naked on the same bed, but it's only so she can keep an eye on his heart to make sure it's working properly.
>>287148114It's coming in super secret chapter 233, stay tuned
>>287148187stop trying to laugh nigga it's not funny
>>287148197Power only massages Denji's prostate while giving him a blowjob to make sure it's in working order. She has medical knowledge you know. She has become his physician.
>>287142678I don't want to let go...
>>287148235>stop trying to laugh nigga it's not funny
>>287148146I hate this stupid orange mutt now.Maybe the Horsemen were right to fight him, not like we'll ever know why they did it. lmao
>>287148318>nooo why didn't my retarded MC get rewarded for being a braindead coomer retardGet fucked, Scumji.
>>287148285he would have been happy if he had had sex, the stupid dog took that away from him it's not funny
>>287147120Maybe Fuljimoto will make the shoujo manga he talks about so much
>>287148146Pochita knew his dream since the beginning and chose to back out now? I'll remember Pochita as a cockblocker now
>>287148318pretty much all of part 2 is just >fujimoto thinks something would be cool>makes it happen for no particular reason>keeps that going for a couple chapters >loses interest, drops it completely, kills some characters and moves on to next thingAnd so on until he lost interest on CSM as a whole. In retrospective, part 2 is structured like a really bad fanfiction.
>>287148318He's a pussy Part 2 Pochita is not my Pochita just like part 2 Denji is not my Denji
>>287148353Fujimoto should've ended it at part one. Just have him revive Reze with a whole chapter dedicated to sex before he adopts Nayuta as their daughter as happened already.
New bread>>287148488
>>287148353He was still rewarded in the end and he doesn't even have any mistakes to learn from
>>287148520He's rewarded for the good things he did, like befriending Power and raising Nayuta properly. Without that, he'd just die to Zombie and that would be his life in the new timeline.
>>287148552That new timeline that Pochita just pulled out of his canine ass? kekHe could have just not restored the zombie devil if that was a problem and that's it.
>>287148151>The SnK ending was some of the most hilarious shit that has happened on this siteYeah because of how unimaginably bad it was, and yet the snkek is trying to push the idea that CSM's lackluster ending is a bigger shitshow. Follow the reply chain

>>287148593>Yeah because of how unimaginably bad it was, and yet the snkek is trying to push the idea that CSM's lackluster ending is a bigger shitshow. Follow the reply chainIt is not as big of a wreck because /a/ never cared about csm as much as about snk and because people lost faith on part 2 months ago, but csm's is undoubtedly the worse ending, because SnK's ending is an actual ending, while CSM's is an axing.
>>287148318Asa couldn’t consent. Pochita stopped him from making the worst mistake of his life because he’s a bro.
>>287148678Eren being a canon cuckold is a better ending to you?
>>287148714Asa wanted to fuck Denji. Yoru was just doing what she was too chicken to do
>>287148492Part 1 isn’t a good ending. It’s Denji continuing to endanger himself and everyone around him by clinging onto Chainsaw Man, because he wants more people to love him.
>>287148714>This is a contract: show me your dreams>Nooooooooo, not like that!
>>287148767That side eye she gave made it pretty clear she wasn’t being honest.
>>287148786Pochita only wants what’s best for his best friend at the end of the day. Raping a girl wouldn’t make Denji happy, and would go against his principles to always ask for consent first, and that’s why he had to stop him.
>>287148767>Asa wanted to fuck DenjiI know you will find it hard to believe but just because I want to eventually fuck someone doesn't mean I want to fuck them in the middle of a fight after my alter ego just tortured me intentionally
>>287148492>Scumji >having sex with anyone Not on my watch, bab.
>>287148910Yes Fujimoto we know you hate good endings and character progression. I regret ever bashing Kishimoto because he at least let Naruto become Hokage & impregnate Hinata.
>>287147430>He just can't get the one he wants He wanted to pick up a lesbian, and the dyke was more powerful than him to make matters worse. The only way to get a lesbian as a man is to be extremely masculine, because lesbians are still women
>chapter 230>denji: I want a friend I can have sex with>chapter 231>pochita: say no more>chapter 232>Denji wakes up in the fat assed Power timeline
>>287145785Anon, I like Power, and one of my main criticisms of Part 2 up until now was her not coming back, but the way she returned was so lame. Like, all that talk about Denji finding the Blood Devil went nowhere, since Pochita had to reset the world just for Denji and Power to meet again.And you know what’s worse? Denji reuniting with Power was supposed to be an emotional moment, something fans had been waiting for since Part 1. But since they technically barely know each other now, their reunion had zero emotional weight. Hell, it’s even hard to tell if Denji actually likes Power in this timeline, since he seems annoyed and bored with her the entire chapter.I genuinely wonder how any Powerfag could be happy with an ending like this beyond it being cheap fanservice.
>>287149035Can't be refuted
>>287148997Kishibe had more auraAlso he could keep up even in an old ass body, youngshibe clears quanxi
>>287147773>How does no one talk about how Yoru, one of the 3 main characters of part 2This just shows how much of a failure Part 2 was; absolutely nobody cares about the main antagonist, neither the fans nor the author himself.
>>287148492Based
>>287148736I mean, it's a pathetic ending for Eren, but it's not like nothing that happened in the past doesn't matter anymore; he met Mikasa and Armin, fought against the Marleyan warriors, etc. In the case of the CSM ending, it's as if NOTHING happened.
>>287148678>csm's is undoubtedly the worse endingLMAO cope
>>287149102After 100 chapters of nothing it’s a sort of just “eh, we’ll take it…” Yeah, obviously the story taking Power’s promise seriously would be a thousand times preferable than a cop out revival. But considering that many people were expecting her to not show up at all makes it kind of shocking that she’s back, and even in the final frame. The new contract also makes it clear that they’re bound for life. At this phase of their relationship in part 1 Power had already tried to kill him a few times. They’re already on track to be at least closer than that at an earlier point.
