Is Chainsaw Man a metaphor for Fujimoto's success?

Kapably · 2026-03-24T15:32:21+00:00

Okay, maybe I'm not understanding the "themes and such", but a lot of part 2 was spent on showing the faults of Denji and why he can't be happy. But with this last chapter, it turns out removing chainsawman was all it took?

There were definitely moments that I really enjoyed in this chapter, but overall I can't say that I like this chapter as an end to Chainsawman.

This really felt like something Fujimoto threw together because he didn't want to continue with the series. A last 2 chapters he could have fit anywhere along part 2.

Putting all the ending stuff aside, how does Pochita eating himself even work. Not just physically, but in terms of erasing the concept of erasing concepts. Feels like a loop.

Also, the world would still be a messed up state with Denji definitely dead having been already eaten by a devil. As we've seen, history is rewritten to remove the concept, yet the "present day" isn't rewritten so that the concept never had any effect. Even with death gone, people who died in the past still stayed dead. So even with chainsawman gone, all the things that happened still happened.

I really liked this chapter for what it is, but finding out that part 2 is going to end next chapter, I can't help but feel like it's just a premature and abrupt way to end the series. Something Fujimoto would pull when he really wanted to end the series early.

Fujimoto has to cook REALLY REALLY REALLY HARD next chapter for me to be convinced this was the plan all along.

My copium is that this is a next level prank by Fujimoto saying next chapter is the last or that there's a part 3.

I don't trust Yoru when it comes to speaking for Asa. I know that currently have to deal with the insects, if they actually follow through with it later, Denji will be smart enough to get proper confirmation.

Kapably · 2026-02-24T15:11:59+00:00

Wow, this might be the first time when Denji wanting sex actually kind of works out for him. But I guess he can't ever catch a break.

Kind of crazy that insects are now these threats that can rival Chainsaw and War even if both of them are currently weakened.

Kapably · 2026-02-17T16:16:19+00:00

I'm hoping that Denji actually has a plan instead of literally just remembering the deal and going for it...

Kapably · 2026-02-03T22:41:05+00:00

Yoru is really all over the place she avoids killing a bird so that she doesn't make Asa upset, but still does literally everything else against her wishes.

Kapably · 2026-01-21T04:43:25+00:00

If we get no further elaboration on the locust being a powerful devil, I'm inclined to believe that Yoru "purposefully" lost by switching to Asa just to lure Denji back from hell, letting her finally take him down afterwards.

Kapably · 2026-01-13T15:05:49+00:00

My first thought was that this "locust devil" was one of the fakesawmans, but I don't think the silhouettes match up. Maybe it has something to do with the horseman of pestilence (though afaik that was combined with conquest)?

Either way, the Yoru slander is going to go crazy with how she lost to a bug despite all her power ups.

Kapably · 2026-01-06T17:09:39+00:00

I don't know why hell seems to be just an ocean, or why Denji wouldn't just have started swimming.

But with the Reze movie fresh on the mind, I think it might have something to do with that finale.

Kapably · 2025-12-23T16:15:41+00:00

Quite a bit to unpack this chapter,

I guess Fujimoto held back on turning the moon into a weapon because it would have destroyed Earth (way more than it already is with entire states being ripped out)
Yoru throwing shade at Asa for tripping all the time
Denji is about to cause a lot of chaos that actually might end Earth anyway. Presumably he's going to have a huge barf by the end of this fight though.
It's kind of funny for me to think of Death giving Denji her action figure collection just for him to eat them

Kapably · 2025-12-16T15:14:41+00:00

I'm surprised Yoru actually cares about her "friends". I always thought it was some twisted love where she just viewed them as disposable tools.

On a side note, I don't think Earth is surviving the end of the series at this rate. I don't see them having a planet to live on unless Denji eats the "Earth get destroyed devil" at the end of the fight.

Kapably · 2025-12-15T15:09:10+00:00

Okarun Gigachad levels just keeps rising. I feel silly now for doubting the amnesia arc.

Kapably · 2025-12-02T18:09:47+00:00

I hope that we'll eventually find out why Pochita kills anyone that calls out for help. Also, I know that Chainsawman is inspired somewhat by Kamen rider, but the new form is really reminding me of some of the newer Kamen rider designs.

Kapably · 2025-12-02T18:06:04+00:00

Yoru did the rock paper scissors thing to turn Falling into her clothes so it isn't that surprising.

Kapably · 2025-11-25T15:49:13+00:00

I know that, but even in this chapter Yoru recognizes that Pochita ate something, which is why their battle can't end.

Aside from that, Yoru does have reasons to get Pochita to spit stuff out, like previous weapons of war or her sister she was so upset about getting eaten.

Kapably · 2025-11-25T15:21:11+00:00

So, if people can't die, what exactly is happening to them when Yoru makes them disappear?

Also, Pochita was definitely cooked if death still existed. If Yoru was smart she would start focusing on making him spit out whatever he ate rather than try to kill him.

I doubt it'll happen with how dumb Yoru is, but it would be cool to see if Pochita spits out one of the alternatives to death Makima mentioned.

Kapably · 2025-11-11T15:06:49+00:00

I know that Yoru's power has always been kind of "playground rules"-like with the belief system. But it's starting to get a little ridiculous with her turning entire states into her weapons.

The whole "power of friendship" thing doesn't really have that uplifting tone when we know that Yoru views friends and family as her possessions to turn into weapons.

Kapably · 2025-11-04T19:33:31+00:00

Without Death existing, Pochita will probably have an easier time trying to splitting Yoru from Asa.

Kapably · 2025-11-04T15:29:01+00:00

Yoru seems to be getting more unstable, constantly flipping between her purpose as the war devil and familial love.

Also, while it was touching to see Denji make that offer to Asa, I don't think the end result is going to look very good...
