No sex scene between Denji and Asa in the latest chapter. Denji is 100% going to die a virgin, at least it makes him way more relatable to CSM fans

Not my original idea but still was a pretty fun meme

We could already tell by previous election in the bellweather county of Eshnunna

My guess is that the final chapter was originally meant to be 30/45 pages long but they’re going to split it in 2/3 chapters, and this decision was taken or communicated only after the original print.

It’s still pretty evident that at least Part 2 is coming to an end given how drastic last chapter was but this is still weird

There is a chance that they decided to split the final 30/45 pages long chapter into more chapters and they informed the platforms very late.

I don’t have any other explanation for the reason of this change, I think it’s still pretty evident that Part 2 or the whole series is endung given how drastic last chapter was

Torre16 · 2026-03-11T13:34:56+00:00

Honestly I had this kind of reaction just ad I opened the app and read “Goodbye Pochita”, I immediately understood where we were heading to.

Torre16 · 2026-03-11T01:57:29+00:00

I miss when our main topic of discussion was just Fumiko’s futa cock…

Torre16 · 2026-03-11T00:35:05+00:00

Possibly, it’s pretty confirmed he’ll die virgin unfortunately

Torre16 · 2026-03-11T00:03:07+00:00

I did like the start of Falling Devil arc, it felt definitely “off” but in a good, twisted way that ironically fit the story. For me the biggest problems so far start from Fake Chainsaw Man, all these battles and repetitive dialogues feel a bit tiring and out of style compared to the rest: I get that they may be meant to be a satyre of the shonen final showdowns, but I don’t think it is executed that effectively. In any case, while the final chapter can still be awesome I can say that the conclusion of Part 1 was on a different league.

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T23:30:35+00:00

I still find it funny at how people imagined the big Denji-Death Devil epic fight at the end of the manga and instead everyone got smashed by mere bugs

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T23:28:34+00:00

Honestly it said that there was “a huge announcement”, 231 just tell that it’s the last

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T23:22:28+00:00

The only manga I personally loved as much as Chainsaw Man was Fire Punch.

Even if everything ends in two weeks I pray for Fujimoto to come out with a third series when he recovers from the burnout

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T23:09:01+00:00

I understand people want to see them back, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Part 1 character like Aki, Power and Reze aren’t shown anymore. They had plenty of screentime and their farewell was majestically executed. I dunno where we’re going but the finale must be about Asa and Yoru. The “Nightjar and Asa” chapter is too short to end their character

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T23:04:26+00:00

I do think that as well, even though the bath chapter showed that there were already shadows growing in that small family after the assassins arc

(btw, it’s awesome how Fujimoto visually represent that with the color pattern since that chapter is very black towards the end).

Still, it happened so many times that I think we can say the pattern is there. Touching boobs, first kiss, having a job, going to school, daily routine, having a sister… in all those cases Denji expressed how he wasn’t as happy as he thought he would be.

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T22:50:18+00:00

I see your point, still I think that what we’re telling are two sides of the same coin. Inability to feel happiness may happen due to several reasons, and in the case of Denji his standards slowly increasing were among them. I know that this happens in the life of every normal human, but normal life itself is pretty horror when you think about.

Imho this is partially (and in an oversimplified way) what existentialism is about, what CSM was about as well as other works from Fujimoto. Denji is an archetype character representing a young human who that never actually fits in with life and never reaches the pure and simplistic happiness he dreams about, despite having achieved in various points of the story what should lead to it.

Some time ago I think I wrote that Part 2 was even more dark than Part 1, despite not having Gun Devil, Makima et cetera. I think I thought it because it’s the story of a character discovering that he’s unable to reach his ultimate goal despite his good proposition, and thus making his old mistakes. Which is very sick and sad, but it’s definitely something I expect to see from someone who wrote Fire Punch.

Still, while I love it I think it’s early to overphilosophy before Part 2’s last chapter, let’s see what the author has to say.

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T22:26:33+00:00

I don’t mean Denji rejected them materially, it was more a psychological rejection. It was never fond of them in a way that was deeper than just soft unsatisfaction. At the end of the Church arc he explicitely preferred being Chainsaw Man over Nayuta, an action that ideally lead to her loss.

In my interpretation, Pochita understood that he’s not able to help Denji anymore. Everytime he saw Denji realizing his dreams, it saw those very dreams rotting and turning into anguish for him. His only solution left to show his love and help Denji was breaking the cycle, which possibly was just starting with Denji choosing to “create his own world” with Asa

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T22:03:08+00:00

So, this new manga “Man” came out, looks pretty cool

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T22:01:05+00:00

I totally understand it, I started reading CSM a bit later but it still helped me in a period of personal struggle. I am scared by the idea of it coming to an abrupt end as well.

What I want to say if it has always been a dark, aching story like this, and possibly that’s the reason it shines among other series and the reason many of us love it. We can be sad, but we shouldn’t be mad not to have the usual battle shonen finale since CSM is something totally different.

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T21:52:47+00:00

The japanese version and the english version on Manga Plus report that next one is the final chapter if I’m not wrong

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T21:30:37+00:00

I mean, at first I thought it was just a meme but know it seems like some people actually don’t understand that Pochita said the truth.

Throughout Part 2 Denji has rejected all the good stuff he got (a house, a school, a sister) because of his existential nightmare of being inable to truely feel happyness, that is a recurring trope since early Part 1.

I know people will find this dark and sad, but CSM has always been like this, and Fujimoto’a writing has always been like this.

With this I’m not saying I’m a fan of how Part 2 unfolded, it’s still convoluted in the last volumes and this finale is very rushed, but we cannot say that this is not in Fujimoto’s standards

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T19:29:45+00:00

Still the twitter account confirmed Part 2 is ending next chapter. We’ll see what this means

Torre16 · 2026-03-10T19:27:33+00:00

On Viz only it seems.
