Did it suddenly skip like 20 chapters?

I wish it hadn’t ended like this.

I’d just been reading it out of inertia, but at least now it can finally end.

Did anyone else go back to check the previous chapter because you couldn’t understand what was going on?

I thought I missed a week and went to check, but I actually hadn’t. Isn’t that terrifying?

I wonder if the people who kept bashing it are happy now.

No, the story had finally gotten its momentum back during the Reze arc, so it’s still sad that the original manga is ending.

Honestly they should redraw everything starting from the aquarium arc.

Pochita would NEVER say something like that…!!

So now it turns out life with the Hayakawa family wasn’t that happy after all.

Suddenly he started saying things like Makima.

What happened to searching for Power again?

No searching for Power, Kobeni never shows up again, Nayuta doesn’t come back to life.
Great, now it can finally end.

Part 2 was basically pointless from beginning to end.

Ending the whole thing with
“Let’s have se▨!” → “Actually never mind!”
is weirdly consistent, I guess.


---

35: Anonymous — 2026/03/11 00:06:02
So it ended without Power ever coming back.

This ending feels as abrupt as the TV ending of Evangelion.

So it turned into Neon Genesis Chainsaw Man!?

Honestly it was painful watching this manga lately, so I’m kind of glad it’s ending.
No idea what will happen next though.

I thought Nayuta might come back to life, but she just stayed dead.

Part 2 lasted three and a half years… that’s pretty long.

Every time Pochita talks it causes interpretation problems.
He would’ve been better off staying silent.

I kept reading this whole time, but after the Falling Devil arc I honestly can’t explain what happened or how Denji ended up in this situation.

I’ve never seen a “reset the world” plot that felt this pointless.

Part 2 might have been better if it stayed in the main magazine where editors constantly pushed the author.

The moment Denji tried to grasp happiness, everything resets…
Pochita really is
just
a devil.

The art quality dropped so much that I couldn’t even tell what was happening in fights anymore.
So it finally ends, huh…

The fact that Fire Punch had a more exciting ending has to be some kind of bug.

That makes no sense.
At minimum he was just going to die living that sewer-level life.
The happiest time was clearly with the Hayakawa family.

No, apparently Denji was much happier back when he was a yakuza slave eating a slice of bread every few days than when he lived with Aki and Power, eating jam on toast every morning while Makima tempted him.
Source: the latest chapter.

Seriously? Even happier than when he was flirting with Reze in the movie?

Both haters and fans are confused. It’s not even funny.

Right after the Reze movie arc it felt like the author got motivated again… but if it ends like this then what was the point?

Unlike Makima, Pochita is doing things even more grotesque but out of good intentions.
That’s not funny.

This sequel betrayed literally every expectation readers had.

That Pochita was probably just an illusion created by the enemy, right?

This chapter is crazy.
You could place it anywhere in Part 2.

Denji: “If you get in the way of us… what was it again?”
Pochita: “Denji, you’re not suited for a normal life, so I’m disappearing.”
What the hell are these guys… 😅

The editor (Hayashi) hasn’t changed, so it’s not even the usual “editor change ruined it” situation.

It’s because being free from the fear of cancellation made things too loose.

I stopped being able to follow the story around the time the Chainsaw Man Association showed up.

It basically threw away every reader who related to Denji’s motivations in Part 1.

The only things I remember from Part 2 are the “Tanaka Spinal Cord Sword” and the aquarium date.

Asa and Yoru were cute though.
Even if Pochita suddenly denied everything about them.

Did the author just want to make some weird arthouse movie-type story full of absurd developments?

They should’ve counted the volumes separately instead of continuing the numbering from Part 1.

If that’s the case, he should’ve disappeared way earlier.
What kind of logic is that, stupid dog?

Honestly the most shocking chapter in Part 2.

I thought I forgot to read a chapter, and suddenly they’re saying the next one is the final chapter.
What is this?

Same. Last week I thought the story finally got its momentum back, so I reread it.

If Makima had just taken care of Pochita earlier, fewer people would’ve died and it would’ve ended more cleanly.
They’re perfect for each other.

Apparently the final chapter will end with Denji watching the movie Chainsaw Man and saying,
“What is this crappy movie…?”
END.

If devils disappear, then it’s guaranteed Denji ends up killing his trash dad and becoming a yakuza slave, right?

Even when he was a devil hunter he still couldn’t pay off his debt and had to sell his organs.
So if devils disappear he’ll probably just end up selling even more organs…
But apparently Pochita thinks that’s happiness…

If Chainsaw Man ate all devils and then disappeared, it might become a world without devils.
But if Chainsaw Man disappears in the current state, it doesn’t look like devils would vanish.

Don’t get full of yourself, trash dog.
There’s no way those days as a yakuza’s pawn were happier than everything afterward.

What hurts is that it was Pochita—the one person who shouldn’t have said it—who denied everything.

Honestly I just feel bad for Denji.
He definitely doesn’t think the way Pochita says he does.

If it’s a world without Chainsaw Man, does that mean a world without devils—basically the real world?

That’s probably the ending they’re going for…
But Chainsaw Man never really felt like the central pillar of the devil world in the story so far.

The final chapter’s details aren’t confirmed yet, but the fact that Pochita denied everything about Denji from Part 1 won’t change.

Both Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen suddenly start getting good again and then pull the rug out from under you. Why??

At least Jujutsu stayed interesting from when Mahoraga appeared until the end.
