Aki’s absence in the ending really makes me wonder how Fujimoto could mess up his character. Like, Makima was apparently erased from existence, Reze went back to having a miserable life in Russia, and Kishibe is probably still the same drunk as ever, so how could Aki be ruined? In this universe, did he just die along with his family to the Gun Devil or something?

It’s funny how quickly forgotten Shitru became. She really was a garbage antagonist and drain on the manga. Not even fan art will be enough to keep her relevant

My friends used to like her before political schizos and porn ruined her reputation. I'd say she's still the most popular character in part 2.

Yoru’s case is hilarious—like, she’s the main antagonist of Part 2, and with the reset she’s probably alive and stronger than ever with the return of the Nuclear Weapons Devil and the World War II Devil, and nobody cares. What a joke of a villain, KEK.

Fujimoto gave up with the IP so I guess he thought that would kinda compensate the readers for selfaxing the manga (it didnt)

Well, in that case, Fujimoto should’ve also added Aki and Reze to the ending to complete this fanservice shitshow.
>>
>>287614669
Even as a gag tier comedic character, she failed. Yoru was boring and hijacked Asa’s character. Also doesn’t help that her apocalypse was lame as hell.

people who denji connected with outside of being chainsaw man. it's supposed to be like the fantasy part in nge where shinji realizes he can have inherent value outside of the transactional nature of being an eva pilot, but with dogshit execution that muddies all the themes.

Part 2 is as bad as getting kicked in the balls, trust me, don’t read that shit. Just assume Chainsaw Man ended at Chapter 97 and imagine Denji enjoying his freedom as an independent hero, going to school and no longer being a slave to Public Safety or anyone else. You can also imagine that he took really good care of Nayuta, eventually found the Blood Devil and fulfilled his promise to Power. There, you’ve got a genuinely good, happy ending for the manga.

What was the point of all that hype around the Death Devil? Was it just to troll the fans? Was it a joke? Like, seriously, this had to be intentional on Fujimoto’s part. Lil’ D is like those characters who are presented as strong but are actually a joke, like Mr. Satan from Dragon Ball

I think Fuji simply got bored and selfaxed the manga. Even stuff like all sisters being faceblind for some reason and humans being originally trees was pointless lore in the end.

Part 2 is probably not the worst sequel of all time, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a more pointless one. Not only does it not follow through on anything Part 1 set up, it doesn't even fucking bother with its own plotlines.

If church arc and his interviews show something is that the guy is going to do the opposite of what others want. He is going to double down on what people dislike it about part 2 on his next manga unless shueshia has a serious talk with him, wich I don't think its going to happen

It starts out great then gets weaker as it goes on. Anyone calling it the worst thing ever is either exceptionally thin-skinned or (far more likely) hasn't read a lot of manga. I think it's worth a read unless you're the kind of mental invalid who thinks sequels can "taint" the original work.

pretty much this. some people don't understand the problem is not just with the ending, its with the entirety of part 2. From the very chapter where literally nothing happened but Asa losing a shoe, part 2 has had problems. But some people are too busy gooning to Yoru's ass to care.

Here’s the thing about Japanese fans: they generally don’t want to be seen as disrespectful to authors when criticizing a story, so most of the time they take a more “civilized” approach when they do. But even so, I’ve never seen an ending get criticized as harshly by them as Chainsaw Man’s. I think the only one that came close was Oshi no Ko

Might have something to do with the pact between Denji and Pochita. Since part of the pact is that Denji would show Pochita his dreams, but Denji wasn't able to act on them at the time, Pochita just did it himself.

>>287627869
This might also be part of it, it's stayed in the bomb girl arc that Denji would be into Kobeni if she hadn't tried to kill him
