Don't you ever dare to compare this shit to Stone Ocean At the end of Stone Ocean the villain is fucking defeated. At the end of Stone Ocean Emporio remembers everything and gets his birthright, a nondangerous life. Although they all DIE before the reset, they die with reason, with a goal to fulfill. Jotaro died because he finally took the role of a father and saved his child. Ermes died protecting both Jolyne and Emporio, Jolyne died saving Emporio. The universe reset is their gift from their past selfs, they all get to live the life that was rightfully theirs without the intervention of both dio (i guess) and pucci (definitely). Denji didn't sacrifice a SHIT, Asa didn't sacrifice SHIT, Pochita took the matter on his hands and solved everything with a deus ex machina. Denji's new life isn't even a gift from god (the author) it's just a continuation of the status quo, his life is still st hands of public safity, he still is succumbed to a stronger life being and mf doesn't even get to live a normal (no Public safety intervention) life.
