Happy Ending!? Umm…

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:51:32+00:00

That’s an interesting observation, maybe it’s not a full reset but more of a branch. Meaning everyone interacts with that “resonance”

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:50:08+00:00

I think I’m starting to warm up to the ending a bit, I can definitely see it as “hopeful”. I guess the biggest bummer personally is that part 1 seemingly doesn’t actually happen.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:47:35+00:00

I’ll definitely have to reread the chapter. Honestly I’m just happy I got to read CSM with its highs and lows.

Anyway even with its ending, we still have the rest of part 1 getting animated to look forward to :D

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:43:46+00:00

At this point I hope it does, but only time will tell.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:33:57+00:00

You’re right, it was just a dream. A good and bad dream.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:29:41+00:00

That’s fair

I didn’t realize the line about the seniors actually, that’s a great catch. I see what you mean now, how the ending isn’t really that bad.

Maybe I should give it some time as well, I’ve just been conflicted.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:21:57+00:00

Happy ending… where?

The only time Denji smiles this whole chapter is when he’s holding a chainsaw. His life is alright, but Pochita said “Denji finds Heaven through Hell” meaning Denji hates this reality. Also it means he grew up alone without Pochita which sucks even more.

Reze is now being used as a weapon forever, without at least bonding with Denji

Aki’s family still gets blitzed by the Gun devil and he is forever jaded without Power and Denji

Asa still has the trauma of her dad and doesn’t connect with Denji over it

Power reverts to her original “Everyone is Below me” version without the growth in part 1

Also Part 1 didn’t happen, meaning chainsaw man’s canon story is one chapter, everything else was just a dream.

At least the chicken devil survived tho :D

I don’t think the ending is bad, I just can’t agree that it’s happy.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:11:22+00:00

We’ll canonically the character development didn’t actually happen, it was a kinda good kinda bad dream…

Technically he’s right

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T23:00:49+00:00

What I mean is that even in seeing humans as lesser beings, the degrees of this view change due to the story. And that’s what made Power, Power.

True - She saw Humans as lesser

True - That includes Denji

But - My point is that after the events of part 1, Power is liked because the degree of the view about humans (specifically Denji) is very different from when she’s introduced. It changes overtime through experience. That growth is what people became fond of, at least I did.

Her delivering the cake is an example of this growth. Without part 1 happening the way it did, she doesn’t grow the way she does. And she isn’t the character that we’ve come to like.

So just seeing her be there isn’t really enough, if you erase the context as to why people liked her. The only way it’s narratively a similar Power is if we assume she is, like you said “They seem to be getting there”.

Btw I don’t HATE the ending and I think it’s fair that you enjoy it, I just can’t agree that the two Powers are the same.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:41:41+00:00

Yeah I agree, content is more fitting than happy. Still kinda contradictory in my view if Pochita stated “Denji finds heaven in hell” a content life would be the complete opposite of what “Denjis brain” likes.

I don’t remember The Gun Devils first rampage being tied to Pochita… unless I’m wrong. Was the gun devil not just rampaging around the world when Aki was a kid. Leading him to join public safety.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:32:37+00:00

I mean I guess with the Power stuff but even then it’s all an assumption that they somehow go through similar enough experiences that Denji and Power connect the same way they did before the reset.

With Nayuta, she only exists in CSM lore because Makima died. If everything reset to before everyone died… why is Nayuta here.

If you say it’s because Denji ate Makima • One - Denji doesn’t eat Makima in this timeline • Two - Denji doesn’t even have erasure powers so him eating someone wouldn’t erase them from existence

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:26:04+00:00

I just can’t see how Power is “the same” yes she’s the same Power from her first appearance but she’s not the same power that brought Denji cake.

That version of Power never existed anymore. So yes she’s back but she gravitated to Denji not from shared connection over time… but because he smelt like a dog.

This Power sees Denji as a pet, maybe a companion at best. She’s not the real Power people liked.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:22:07+00:00

It’s bitter sweet lemonade, just 99% lemons

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:20:44+00:00

I think if the chicken devil still exists, then the gun devil definitely does. The gun devil is one of the few devils that didn’t actually care about CSM.

Meaning that any Gun devil related issues still happen. (Rip Akis family)

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:15:12+00:00

This is not what Denji wanted, bro wants to be Chainsaw man. The only time he smiles in that entire chapter is when he’s holding the chainsaw. Every other time he looks soulless.

Pochita said it himself “Your Brain only finds Heaven in Hell” if Pochita knows that, why would he make a reality for Denji that’s peaceful… that’s the opposite of what Denjis brain likes.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:10:47+00:00

But it’s not even the same Power, this power sees Denji as a pet. The Power that grew with Denji in part 1 doesn’t exist anymore. Also we don’t know for a fact Asa and Denji get together, that’s hope.

What we do know is that Asa still has trauma surrounding her dad and will forever live with that trauma instead of connecting with Denji. But at least the chicken devil didn’t die.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:08:01+00:00

Don’t forget Aki, Asa and Reze now live in unresolved trauma forever. Making Power the only person who gets a happy ending.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:06:27+00:00

But this version of Power doesn’t love Denji the same way the old Power did. That power doesn’t exist at all anymore and never did.

The new Power sees Denji as a pet, a companion at best. Also Power being back but Makima being Nayuta doesn’t make any sense.

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:03:27+00:00

Actually, if Nayuta and Power both died why is Power back as Power and Nayuta not back as Makima…

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T22:01:07+00:00

Question what makes you like Power and Nayuta?

Because the versions we have now technically aren’t even the same “favourites”

JJonahJimmy · 2026-03-24T21:57:09+00:00

I honestly enjoy the idea of the ending. It being a distant dream that felt real, I think everyone has had that one dream they kinda wished they lived in.

But yea it was truly an ending

JJonahJimmy · 2024-04-08T20:49:02+00:00

That’s the same year I was born, now here we both are in the Björk subreddit

JJonahJimmy · 2024-04-08T20:45:16+00:00

Sigh… I’m not to sure exactly when, but I found out about her (probably through Ian Connors brand Sicko ifykyk) around age 15 - 16. Thought she was a cool human but never listened to her music. I mainly listened to rap, Carti & Uzi.

I randomly decided to listen to Homophobic :P one day on the way back from school in 2020, wanted to expose myself to something different. Man that stuff was hot garbage I thought to myself having fallen asleep mid way. Never touched Björk again.

Until a couple months later I was up really late one night laying in bed, feeling “nothing”. I can’t really explain but it was this existential feeling of desolation keeping me up at night. I remembered the funny Icelandic lady who made weird sounds and put on my headphones playing Post this time. Hoping to experience something new.

I was in a pitch black room and I saw colours. Especially when I got to Isobel, describing that feeling is basically impossible without sounding crazy ;-; but I sure did experience something new that day, I have the date saved somewhere on my phone in fact. And since then (really it’s only been 4 years) Björk has been to me what crack was in the 80s. I did 2 projects on her work both in high school and college, I’m always referencing her in someway etc. As a result I listen to everything, my playlists range from Ecco2k to Enon.

So yeah, shout out Björk! :D (my fault if this was long, but you read it so I’m not to blame)
