@Morningbird_Asa they arent erased as we can literally still go back and read them

That's why I thought Fujimoto would never erase their memories. What's life without bad memories and experiences? I thought that was the point being made.

I am still extremely melancholic that it ended and I can't stop thinking about it. I've been defending Chainsaw Man from superficial criticism for over 6 years lmao so nothing is more symbolic to me than doing this one last time (at least during its release). Chainsaw Man isn't about Chainsaw Man (kinda is at the end). Chainsaw Man has always, always been about Denji. Chainsaw Man was always Denji and Pochita was always Denji's heart. But for a long time, the work and we, the audience, considered the two as separate entities. And this is the main, and perhaps ONLY, catalyst for all the conflicts in Part 2. I can't understand anyone who isn't satisfied with this ending because of "loose ends". It took 200+ chapters for you to understand that the great universe and great characters are just the foundation to tell Denji's story? A story that rewards a character who, even after losing everything, kept following his dream and ALWAYS looking for a third option in the midst of dilemmas where both options suck. ALL the fights Denji won were always through his ability to find ways out of "no way out" situations, and not about how strong he is. The work ALWAYS prioritized closing thematic arcs rather than narrative arcs per se. And the second part is completely self-aware, and to me, this ending is perfect. I always knew that only a happy ending would make sense for the manga. Being the Chainsaw Man (hero/devil) we know became Denji's crutch that sustained him after so many traumas. After Makima disappeared, the single problem for everything that happened was the fact that Denji still wanted to be this hero, or at least his idealized version of it. Just like any addiction that stems from our defense systems in trauma situations. It's very common for people who have suffered abuse to persist with habits and raised defenses even after they are "safe" from those abuses. And these quirks become a burden and a problem, just like the burden of being Chainsaw Man was for Denji. The story concluding with him dropping this symbol and not letting himself be carried away by the options imposed by others is sensational. And this point is proven when he, and we as the audience, are totally rewarded, whether by saving Asa from the same cycle of traumas as his, saving the world, seeing Power and Nayuta happy, and Denji doing good just because he wants to and can. And the paradox is that this is what truly makes him Chainsaw Man and the hero he is, without needing a devil's heart. So, in the end, Chainsaw Man is about Chainsaw Man, but Chainsaw Man isn't the hero of hell, but rather our Denji. ++

@Morningbird_Asa fujimoto will still keep making new manga

The worst thing about Chainsawman ending is that there's never going to be another Chainsawman

"themes & such" is like the polar opposite of "hype moments & aura" in terms of shonen slander

The Mewgenics help sheet is finished!
