    I’m at peace with it. Yeah I think part 2 as a whole was kind of a mess. But as endings go I’m happy enough with this.

    Tbh wrapping up all the dangling threads in a remotely satisfying way probably could have taken another dozen chapters and I’m just not sure Fujimoto was up for that.

    It’s nice to see Dennis and Powie back together at last.

    Certainly not what I was expecting but perhaps a good ending? Happy to see Power back. Maybe this is ‘happiness in hell’ for Denji.

      He basically went back to the time he was happiest. With Power.

      No Aki. Somehow we get a Nayuta instead of Makima. I guess without Pochi the control demon never developed a Chainsaw Man obsession?

      Even Asa gets to avoid the turning point in her life that made her miserable?

      Literally only kind of care about all of that.

      Power is alive!

        I wondered if it was possible that Aki is one of the “seniors” Denji referenced on the final page. Yeah maybe a bit of a reach, admittedly.

        No Aki because Nayuta already has the Gun Devil, his family probably didn’t die and he didn’t become a devil hunter, or he did but he’s not around because no Makima.

        Asa was already miserable before the Bucky incident, however, the Bucky incident was seemingly the catalyst for the class prez to kill her. So she’s miserable but she isn’t dead/semi possessed by Yoru.

        Yoru’s fate is still a mystery, but no Pochi means her devils still exist or were subdued by other means. So no vendetta against CSM either.

        It is pretty awesome Power is back. In a scenario where Denji is at his happiest, how could she not be?!

    It was a happy ending for Denji but I can’t help but feel how rushed and forced this ending felt. I mean, yeah, a bunch of characters are alive and stuff but man I feel kind of disappointed.

      It was very abrupt.

      I recently caught up and I didn’t even realize I was two chapters from the end.

        My only hope is the reason it’s like this was Fujimoto was tired of the series and the ending he had planned didn’t go as expected. Hope he takes a break and make new stories in the future.
