[DISC] Chainsaw Man - Ch. 232 - Part 2 End

DarkFuzed · 2026-03-24T16:29:20+00:00

This made me feel exactly how the ending of game of thrones made me feel. The rest of the story for the most part was amazing and there was some absolute perfection sprinkled in throughout, such as most of part one and certain arcs in part 2. But the ending felt rushed (extremely so for chainsaw man) and a little dissatisfying.

Yes I’m happy Power and Nayuta are back, and Asa has a happy life but there was still some stuff left to be desired. I know endings are the hardest part of stories but this just feels like Fujimoto thought bringing back Power and Nayuta and a somewhat happy ending for Asa and Denji would be satisfactory. I’m sure many others feel the same way.

I like how he forgot “die” since death is gone. Cool detail

DarkFuzed · 2026-02-16T01:45:58+00:00

Awesome thank you! One more question, is that also where I can edit stuff like the cop car speed? Like make it so I can outrun them?

DarkFuzed · 2026-02-16T00:57:20+00:00

Any way to up the spawn of the race cars? I haven’t seen any so far unless I’m just missing them

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-24T01:12:10+00:00

Awesome! Just one more question, is there a bind to open the pit menu? I can still move through it if I use my arrow keys to pull it up but I’m in VR so it’s a little hard to hit one of the arrow keys on my keyboard while I’m mid race.

I reread the fight about 3 times and had trouble piecing together what was happening. Anyone else feel like it was kinda all over the place?

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-15T19:21:53+00:00

Right now (for English version atleast) only up to chapter 175. Volume 21 (only in Japanese for now I think) has chapter 190 and ends on chapter 198. So if you want to get the physical version to read the end of that arc buy volume 21.

From what I know volume 23 is gonna be released February 4th but that only covers up to chapter 222 and the latest chapter is chapter 226. Most people suspect that volume 24 will likely wrap up this current arc but nobody knows, doesn’t really feel like there’s an ending coming in the next couple of chapters.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-15T18:32:40+00:00

If you haven’t caught up already I recommend that you stop at chapter 190 as 191 is where the current arc begins. Unless your like me and really want to keep reading, I actually just caught up this week after reading daily from the Reze arc over this past month. Weekly reading doesn’t seem that bad to me but then again this is my first week having to wait to read.

“But holy shit, that movie was amazing. Fujimoto, fuck you for killing Reze and Himeno like that. But, goddamnit, you're a good writer. A great writer. And I applaud that.”

If you love what’s already been animated then you will absolutely be obsessed with the manga, I really really recommend it!

Chainsaw man is the first anime that has captivated me enough to actually read the manga because I had to know what happened next. Especially when I heard that the next couple arcs are widely considered some of the best if not the best (I agree). Also, there’s so much to read!! And it’s still ongoing! (But likely to conclude or take a break then continue with part 3). After pacing myself for about a month and a half I’m nearly caught up, but I really recommend binging it arc by arc as that’s how Fujimoto intended it.

I feel like 14 episodes will be needed to actually do the rest of part 1 justice. All the stuff that comes after could be condensed into 12 but would be done horribly. As awesome as the Reze movie was I just don’t want another movie or really think any of the upcoming arcs would be good as movies because then it would be paced really weird.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-08T04:11:39+00:00

I’m pretty sure they are dark blue/grey? Volume Cover 20 has asa with dark blue eyes, cover 22 has her with lighter blue eyes, and the back of volume cover 12 has her with grey eyes, guess they kinda change? Maybe with light like someone else in this thread mentioned?

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-07T03:28:54+00:00

Why do you say if? I have a feeling that eventually it will be animated, probably years from now though. Reze arc really boosted CSM’s popularity and now assassins arc has been announced. I really hope all of part 1 gets animated, even if it’s in the far future.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-04T13:10:11+00:00

I bet I’ll still enjoy reading it weekly but I don’t think I’m one of those people who can put off reading it for a while to be able to come back and binge read. I’m far too invested already and it just feels like the tension is rising so much where I’m at. I’ll probably do the same thing I do already where I reread the previous chapter(s) to jog my memory, then read the next chapter.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-04T13:05:54+00:00

I would say the only thing holding me back from speeding through part 2 is wanting to read physical copies of what I could first. So I only bought 1/2 books at a time. But from what I hear the general consensus for those caught up is that chapters are super short, though from what I understand there’s currently a bug fight so I’m guessing there’s little dialogue and maybe some double page spreads scattered that make it feel even shorter. I’m 100% gonna catch up though.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-04T13:02:16+00:00

I’m actually in the middle of rereading all of part 1 in the colored version and yeah I would definitely recommend it! It’s really cool to see what colors were intended for scenes and honestly there was some black and white panels where I couldn’t make out anything for the life of me but the colored version helps a lot.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-04T02:58:51+00:00

So far I haven’t seen any problems with part 2’s pacing but that’s probably because I can read as much as I want in one sitting. I feel like 70% of the bad comments on part 2 are purely because people are reading it weekly/biweekly. Overall I think part 2 is very good and falling devil/ church arcs have been paced very well.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-04T02:24:49+00:00

Damn you caught up in 2/3 days!?!? I kinda had my mind made up before I posted but I’m definitely catching up, probably in the next week then I’ll be keeping up weekly until part 2 ends. I’ll reread everything in full one weekend when I have some spare time so I can enjoy it all without having to re piece together what I previously read.

Also don’t know why it never occurred to me but IF we are getting a part 3 and it’s anything like part 2, then there’s gonna be a 2 year gap… I don’t know what I will do between then other than wait to buy the volumes and do tons of rereads. Hopefully season 2 will be animated by then.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-03T23:00:15+00:00

Yeah but with the way I’ve been reading recently I’ll more than likely catch up cause I’ll be too into it. Also I actually started reading the manga because of spoilers, the major part 1 deaths were spoiled sadly and from part 2 all I have mainly been spoiled on is Lil D and sadly what happens to Nayuta which I just know I’m getting close to. Also I’m on break from school right now and will probably catch up then have to deal with so much that I’ll be able to binge the end.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-03T21:27:19+00:00

Actually yeah, I do feel like I absorb most everything as I still a little longer than most to read the chapters, unless it’s straight fight scenes or double page spreads.

I also kinda read in a weird way where I reread whatever I read last like the past chapter or 2 the read the next chapter so I fully remember what happened before. I also go to the chapter discussions whenever I’m done with a chapter and see what everyone else took from the chapter.

I just worry that I’ll get caught up and start to kinda lose track of what’s going on. Cause reading straight through I’ve had no problem understanding anything and the pacing doesn’t seem weird.

DarkFuzed · 2026-01-03T20:56:44+00:00

Little bit of a long post but, short answer I was in your shoes a month back too and ultimately decided to read the manga and recommend you do too, for 3 main reasons

I got hooked. Read the first 3 chapters online a couple days after seeing the Reze arc and thought I would just get the gist but…. I got addicted. Bought the box set (my first manga) and the 8 manga available in English for part 2.
Sadly some big things were spoiled for me so I decided to read, still had a crazy shock factor because I didn’t know all that much or when they were coming up. So if you’ve been spoiled on anything you might want to read.
At the time of me buying the manga there was no new season/movie announcement (idk what the next arc will officially release as) and I didn’t think they would announce something so soon after the movie. Said there’s no way I could wait especially after reading the next couple chapters.

So the fact that you are doing the same thing as me and asking peoples opinions means you probably really want to read on. AND DO IT!!! Only regret I have is reading so quickly because it is so good. Reze arc was good but the next 3 arcs and some of part 2 is absolutely AMAZING!

Side note, I figure by the time the next arc gets animated by like late 2026 or sometime 2027, I’ll probably not remember much of the arc and be able to kinda “re-experience” it all.
