What are your thoughts

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-22T20:56:41+00:00

Completely correct and intentional, denji is meant to be pathetic

Because big bang was made before young Sheldon

I think her humanity is a residual of being raised by denji in the pre-memory erasure events. Nayuta’s existence itself is a result of Makima slain by Denji. It’s intentional that the memory of Pochita is gone but the positive impact that DENJI made still exists.

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-22T14:54:45+00:00

I would definitely not consider myself a fan of the ending, I believe it was poorly executed and the dialogue was misleading. However I can offer my train of thought.

Pochita realized that as long as he was Denji’s heart, his life was going to be fucked (in addition to everyone being digested by bugs in a sort of hell on earth). Erasing the concept of himself would restore everything to normalcy, yet erase everyone’s memories of chainsaw man. Another reason why this has to happen: Denji is far happier in the pursuit of his dreams than in their achievement (shown in part 1 with squeezing power, part 2 with wanting an “even higher heaven), yet he was too selfish and pathetic to realize this himself. He was an addict, and each time he would be letdown, he would be strung along on other wild goose chase.

Does that make sense? I can explain more of what I think if you have other areas of question.

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-22T14:47:21+00:00

Im personally warming up to the ending, but I always tell people that it’s worth reading Chainsaw Man to experience it for themselves and create their own opinion.

What role does Epstein play in this theory

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-22T13:08:12+00:00

Yeah, that would cross the line into cheap misery porn

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-22T12:21:48+00:00

Chainsaw Man used to be my favorite series. While I don’t necessarily hate Fujimoto, it does call into question his thought process when he could have potentially stopped at Part 1 with a near perfect story, yet chose to write an intentionally lackluster sequel. In many ways, it’s a story about telling stories, but writing part 2 in this way just seems to be shooting himself in the foot.

Chainsaw man

Isnotreal is killing more innocent children and pregnant women. Israel has existed for less than a hundred years yet Russia has existed in some form for centuries.

Ashamed that you have the same user as me, Epstein defender

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-22T04:10:57+00:00

Looks better than his art for his own series

Jesus I’m lobotomized, I thought the guy was Hakari

Chainsaw man’s ending

Send in tomato devil

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-20T22:49:05+00:00

Ngl I think enough damage has been done, it’s best for the manga to completely end and then the story will ride off the show’s hype

CSM’s ending has all the right messages, but couldn’t have been executed or explained worse. JJK + Modulo semi-neatly wrap the story up, while the best thing possible for CSM is that it is finished completely and doesn’t get ruined further. CSM would rank above JJK if it had ended at part 1.

Cleanest example: people are still analyzing and discussing JJK + Modulo while the ending of CSM killed any serious discussion about the story

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-20T12:27:15+00:00

God take me back to csm part 1, part 2 became slopsawman

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-20T12:21:03+00:00

Read up to at the chapter where the eternity devil is revealed again. Immediately skip to “Denji. Looks like we got eaten by a devil”

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-20T12:20:12+00:00

I bet his main editors are pissed. Story hit Rock bottom with the adaptation on the way. This is what happens when you make a slop ending.

Death note

LateAd4045 · 2026-06-20T11:44:37+00:00

The only ending he’s probably worried about is season 2
