Everyone is focusing on Aki & Power returning but I think it's huge that Denji is finally standing up for himself and asa is starting to stand up to yoru. Plus with Denji puking up the snow devil the implication that other devils pooch has eaten may also come back is wild. Like the future is so uncertain now and I'm going crazy

The more I think on it the more I think that chainsaw man is like a modern day evangelion. And the people who are hating on the ending of CSM are the same people who would hate the original tv ending of Eva. What I mean is, that when Eva originally aired, a lot of people cared more about the giant fighting robots, the Christian symbolism and phrases used, and the concept of SEED as an organization, but none of those things were ever what Eva was about. Eva was always a character study of this depressed boy and what it means to find happiness. And chainsaw man seems to be doing the same thing. It sets up nostradomus, the 4 horsemen, the background noise of what is happening in America and the Soviet union and how the Japanese elite are using deals with devils to progress their own agendas. And again, none of that mattered. Chainsawman, like Eva, was always meant to be a character study of this sad depressed boy and what it takes to be happy and follow your dreams. People for both Eva & CSM were upset by the lack of plot resolutions at the ending but the stories were never about those plots, they were about the thematic questions they were pondering and both times the last two episodes/chapters stripped the stories down to their bare essentials and left the people who cared more about the fluff out to dry. And im not saying this to imply the people who enjoyed the fluff are wrong for liking those aspects of the stories. but moreso to comment on my observations that most of the people who disliked the ending of these two pieces of art were moreso wanting different things from the ending than what the author was every trying to convey.

You've gotta respect Yoru for immediately attempting to murder Denji like that

I love this. I love how fujimoto built up this big bad evil devil that I saw so many people expecting a big ass fight for, just to have this whole arc end so abruptly.

I love the juxtaposition between the characters calling this a normal life and we're still seeing the church of chainsawman members being massacred in the streets. Everything is so well done and excellently crafted.

Why is Fumiko still alive? It's not important, maybe we'll find out in a dozen or so chapters but also maybe not. Uff it's so well done, what a way to cap off the aging devil arc

I am saying it now before I forget. Part 2 is literally the end of the chainsaw man manga since poochita eats himself thus making everyone forget about him and in a meta sense make the manga end. Part III will be a new manga titled "War Girl" or something to that effect and be focusing on Yoru and Asa as the new protags.

About to watch the Reze movie!! This is the arc that solidified CSM as the goat for me so here's hoping it doesn't suffer from the same issues the anime has

I had the biggest dumbest smile on my face seeing pochita swim towards Denji with his lil grin. I love that pup

These are such important words to live by! Never lose hope, you will find a family who accepts you one day and if you lose them you will find a new group again! Never give up!
