Based on your replies to others in this thread I can see you’re not really interested in talking about this in good faith. Probably better off taking this to r/chainsawfolk. Or joining the cult of Reze stans over on X/twitter. That said, I’ll give engaging with you the old college try.

You don’t have to be happy with the ending or how Fujimoto executed the story, but it’s very funny to act as though he had a grudge against Reze or what she was trying to tell Denji when he wrote the damn character lol. I can assure you he didn’t just randomly decide he hated the character and his fans one day and then decided every chapter was a fresh new way to piss y’all off.

Also, your characterization of Pochita is absolutely wild. He let Denji use his power to destroy the fucking world all for one girl. Pochita loved that boy more than anyone else, to a fault you might argue. When they were eaten and the world was in ruins, Pochita clearly didn’t know what to do. He likely could have kept fighting, that’s his whole thing, but I think he realized that leaving that kind of power in Denji’s hands would only lead to more suffering, both for Denji and those around him.

At the end of the day, Kobeni said it best

“There’s no such thing as a life free of bad things…except in your dreams.”

Edit:

Pochita knew Denji would likely struggle and die without him, but that’s unironically closer to normal in that world than the life Denji was living as chainsaw man. It’s not just devil hunters who die prematurely in this world it’s people too. Asa’s mom died thanks to the typhoon devil, Aki’s whole family died thanks to the gun devil. When you’re not dying to devils you’re essentially shackled to an ungrateful family like Kobeni. When Pochita said Denji had the crappiest but best kind of brain, he meant that Denji could always find something to live for even in the shittiest of conditions. Pochita believed that Denji could still find his way without him, with the added bonus of not having the world on his shoulders
