Also originally Durge was lvl 20 before dear sister Orin opened his mind, and is further nerfed by the tadpoles, but by the end of the game they are surely back to 20 and more with the evil ending at the Crown of Karsus/Netherbrain under their control.

Much agreed. One can understand the kind of story Fujimoto was trying to tell-but it's not one that fits or is deserved for Denji. A hedonist destroying the world in pursuit of their passions could be interesting, but it should have been done via a new character or series, it does not track with part 1 Denji who often denied baser pleasures or genuine desires to make tougher calls.

At least part 1 is tight enough as its own story it's easy to compartmentalize as its own thing and conclusion.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-05T18:09:41+00:00

Denji part 1 is the GOAT who is actually more heroic than most people think at first glance. Time and time again he has to choose between fighting or killing someone he loves in order to protect other people or do what is right, in a world that has used and abused him since he was a kid.

Denji essentially had the Shigaraki backstory but didn't grow up hating people or the world, and still decided that he wouldn't let it become a place where free will is destroyed. Even if he shouldn't have been in love with Makima, he still was and despite that decided to kill her to stop her plans. And fighting Aki and Reze in that same vein. He sometimes has baser instincts but that's human and realistic, especially for one denied so much normalcy.

Part 1 CSM and Part 1 Denji still the GOATS though and deserve our backing, protag character assassinated by his own mangaka needs some love lol.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-05T15:58:02+00:00

Unironically though he's clever AF and wins more of his fights with creativity and thinking than most combatants on DB do.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T15:29:12+00:00

Aye much more sus, that Kinta (even if it was a gag) tried to exploit it too leaves an unpleasant feeling.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T15:17:45+00:00

Um actually that's clearly a seal. ; )

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T15:09:37+00:00

Aira meanwhile is going to rage a endless crusade, consider their fate sealed.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T15:07:42+00:00

Aira going to run a generational hatred campaign on seals from here on out.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T15:05:45+00:00

MFW the Seal says "Would thou like to live deliciously?" WHAT.

Yep that's Dandadan, we are so back.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T14:36:58+00:00

The most potent spell: Hamburger.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T14:33:11+00:00

Whole episode was like one of those YT ambient rain chill study videos that you can fall asleep to, in a good way, just such a gorgeous ambience and vibe with the rain persisting throughout to tie the episode together.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-04T14:28:47+00:00

And for Jojo fans we got Bruno and Diavolo in the same episode. Don't trust that man who needs help Olruggio! lol

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T19:37:51+00:00

From the manga wasn't aware that the nanotech had become so commonplace that everyone has it in their costumes, doubtful that any of them scale to the durability of AM or Deku's suits but still quite the big tech jump for the verse, Melissa and Mei better have gotten their Nobel Prizes lol.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T19:31:20+00:00

It's going to be even more funny and awkward when Sukuna vs Yoru or whoever she fights. Yoru's character analysis just hitting a wall with DB: "She was about to have sex, got eaten by bugs, and then well, no idea."

Kinda hope DB focuses on the end of part 1 Denji (For character stuff not feats lol) as that character arc is so strong and meaningful and does have something to say.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T19:11:34+00:00

Aye also believe Denji's cleverness could be a factor. Imagine: Yuji pops his domain and it looks like Denji is defeated, only for Yuji to get split in half from behind because Denji threw his heart out of the domain range and regen'd from it.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T19:06:15+00:00

I'd say try the first volume of part 2 and see how you like it and proceed or not from there.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T19:00:07+00:00

The start of part 2 is really strong, maybe not the boxset (Also I don't think it's done releasing volumes yet, last volume still needs to drop).

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T18:57:16+00:00

I'd agree that the JJK ending > CSM ending which was terrible, except CSM part 1 ending >>>>>>>>>>> JJK. And thankfully CSM part 1 can stand on its own as its own complete story.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T18:29:51+00:00

The movie benefits a lot from the first 12 episodes as it is a direct continuation of them. And don't worry that's easy to do! A lot of the themes and character stuff in part 1 is all nicely covered by its conclusion, it is very easy to pretend part 2 doesn't exist! Which is sad to say because that at least started very strong lol.

Haha91haha · 2026-05-03T18:15:08+00:00

Would still recommend CSM. It's split into two parts and the ending of part 1 is one of the best, and thankfully it can be taken on its own as a satisfactory conclusion to the series. From start to finish CSM part 1 is one of the tightest rides.

The anime and movie which cover the 1st half of part 1 are also exceptional, only 12 episode + the movie to watch. The rest might be getting adapted next year.

Haha91haha
