@MovingStones_4 @DeuceTheUchiha Soooo Angel didn’t die

@DeuceTheUchiha you know if Angel actually did anything of relevance and didn't just die maybe this analogy would work

can u IMAGINE the lashings Gege would get if Sukuna killed everyone so Angel resets the universe for Yuji making it so he never found the finger in the first chapter but meets the Jujutsu High group a different way and everything just never happened 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #csm232

@G0ffThew I think the ending makes sense but there wasn’t enough before it. The reason jojo part 6’s ending is good is because of the smaller cast and smaller scope but csm’s ending felt like it put a lid on so many parts of the story.

Now that people have had time to read it, and I've had a bit of time to chew on it, my opinion on CSM's ending is that it's REALLY good. As worthy a spiritual successor to Devilman as the TV Ending of EVA, and sure to be just as divisive in its profundity. It does come out of left field, but that's how Fujimoto's written the story from the beginning. All the best arcs throw Denji into it without warning as a natural result of the chaotic forces in play, so pulling him out of it the same way just makes sense. And it lets the series say exactly what it wants to say without getting bogged down in extraneous details or overlong goodbyes. The only thing I think could have really improved it is a little bit more of Asa's perspective in the last few chapters - "season 2" mostly treats her as a deutoragonist so not getting her input in the final few moments feels weird. Though at the same time, the story was mostly about her total lack of agency so it's fitting in that sense. Pochita taking Denji's agency away at the end is also thematically fitting, and I think handled perfctly - he's watched Denji pursue what he wants this whole time alongside us, so it makes sense that he'd understand better than anyone that what Denji really NEEDS is to not be Chainsaw Man anymore. In the end, we're left with the sense that Denji could and probably will be killed by a devil at any moment, but that was always the case. And until then, he's got his other brain cell back, his little sister and the woman he loved are happy, and he's eating a lot better than toast every day... even if he can't afford it. Perhaps he will even touch another boob one day, but regardless, he is content for now, and that's all he could really ask for. Might expand on my thoughts on this and the rest of the season in an off-the-cuff vlog. Probably I'll talk a bit there about my theory on what primal fear Pochita actually represents. I know some were hoping for a full honest review, but I just don't have time to give it a full scripted video right now, and honestly I don't know if enough of my audience keeps up with the manga to make it worthwhile.

@iaisotria I think saying a historically selfish character acts in a selfish way and regresses is “out of character” is just a wrong interpretation of her character. And while during the events of the story she doesn’t seem happy with the farmer, towards the end she is happy with her life

@TalI_guy If she loved the farmer from the start why did she refuse to marry him. Also with this logic no character ever acts out of character because “they just act irrational sometimes” “they just did it” This defense is shallow and ignores how stories function

@iaisotria Except she loved the farmer???? “She wouldn’t do that” but she did. Details you’re uncomfortable with aren’t out of character. Characters act irrationally is desperate times.

@TalI_guy I mean for like example Historia’s entire pregnancy thing is ooc she would never have a child just to use as a pawn to save herself and she would never be in a loveless relationship like her parents. No she didn’t have the kid to not eat Zeke there was already a plan for that.

@iaisotria Uh huh

@TalI_guy That’s not true I was there. People praised the animation and hype moments and shipping but nearly everything that had to do with the plot or characters was still heavily debated and criticized.

Even after yesterday's csm ending meltdown, AOT ending/final arc discourse is still the absolute worst thing to have graced anitwit #wowzahs #thankyouIsayama #AOTfansbelongintheGulag

@iaisotria Anime was slightly criticized but for th most part the reception was overwhelmingly positive

@iaisotria I don’t mean theories like erehisu or bullshit like that but claiming characters are mischaracterized. Manga readers have the tendency to treat their analysis as canon and when something doesn’t go their way they criticize it saying the author didn’t know what they were doing.

@falchion0 @vordholtzz @focalorism The slight change is literally 10 lines of dialogue. If that was the difference between a 5/10 ending and a 9/10 ending then the hate was disingenuous to begin with.

@vordholtzz @focalorism The anime slightly changed the ending and made it significantly better than the manga. Also the bonus chapter helped a bit. You have to remember that when the final chapter initially dropped none of that extracurricular material existed.

@gloryhmm @casvd01 The set up is the gauntlet. There is no explanation as to why he is wearing it until that moment. Yuta even using cleave has no purpose besides being a red herring. He made sure to also tell Sukuna he specially ate the last finger.

@TalI_guy @casvd01 Bro a setup comes before the payoff not after it , it's a coverup to cleverly involve nobara in the last second but not good setup to make a play.

Nobara’s reintroduction really wasn’t so bad huh 🤭

@ParasiticEager2 Crazy how all three were hated when they came out

@youandbadmovies Yeah obviously…people just don’t like that

Dont piss me off bruh of all the things to slander yoshida's character is extremely simple to understand i fear the POINT is that he was a slave to public safety until the end omfg

you won’t find an author as feminist as fujimoto. csm part 1’s main antagonist is a woman. all four horsemen are women. part 2’s main character is a woman. he gives female characters real narrative power and centers them in the story. who else is doing it like him?

Yoshida is a representation of uhhhh maybe the uhhhh and his arc is about uhhhh and the octopus has themes and such and uhhhh his character is uhhhh

@DEHINSMASALANG @J0hnnyStar Why do i constantly have to imagine things for the ending to be good

@J0hnnyStar Now imagine if part 2 was a 2 hour movie

Quick question: Have any of you actually SEEN The Big Lebowski?!

@Iker87628860 No reason for her to come back but the appearance of the other hybrids makes her fate a mystery and not a fun one. Not a big critique but still a shame.

@TalI_guy I mean, for Reze there's no reason to have her back. Quanzi and Kishibe should of have swapped places in part 2, and lmao he really half assed the blood devil stuff.

Fujimoto is hilarious man

@spooncats_ A disappointment 🔥

"If the universe was reset then the whole series was meaningless" no bro, the plot doesn't matter, what did Chainsaw Man mean to YOU #csm232

@Sam757hvn Yeah we understand and don’t like the world resetting

"Asa didn't get a resolution" the world reset the fuck did you want to happen 😭 Now her life just didn't go downhill in the middle of apocalyptic shonen bullshittery, and both she and Denji can live "ordinary lives" however that pans out for them

@CraftyAdrian360 That would work if it wasn’t for the fact this isn’t the SAME denji as part 2 denji.
