RobertCh said: So I've read the chainsaw man manga from the beginning and i got to the end of chapter 1, and i liked it, at the time, there were like just 10 chapters from part 2 and i gave it a try, and i liked it, till chapter 125-130 where i started to have questions after each chapter. Are there more chainsaw mans? Why are they cutting his legs in the latest chapters or whatever they are doing? Can someone please explain these 20-30 last chapters? I'm in the same position as you. I really enjoyed the first part and then the starting of the second part was good too but now the plot seems all over the place. So much stuff going on. Denji's own problems, Second chainsaw man, I feel like the plot has gotten a bit convoluted. That isn't to say that I think it's bad but it's just making me feel confused more and more. |

| @wallus81 the chainsaw man "zombies" are people who unknowingly made contracts with the fire devil, lured by the chainsaw man church into thinking they were getting powers from the justice devil. barem and fami orchestrated it so that these contracts would all active at the same time, which is why we had that scene with thousands of people around the city spontaneously transforming. the details on why the fire devil is able to chainsaw-ify people are a bit fuzzy, though... the whole reason this is happening is because fami plans to defeat the death devil, who the nostrodamus prophecy says is to be arriving very soon. a global war against chainsaw man zombies = the populations fear of chainsaw man and war increasing. so, in other words, fami wants to get denji and asa/yoru really strong to fight off the death devil. shrimple!! we dont know anything about that one "chainsaw man imposter" though, literally zero information. sorry for the random explanation dump, just hope this generally helps with understanding the direction of the story. |

| @sillywackygatto the fire devil stuff I like barely was following and was so confused about it lmao this does clear up some stuff though, thanks |

| Yeah honestly part 1 is classic but part 2 up till like you said 125-130 has just been way too all over the place and everywhere to the point where I just stopped enjoying it and I don’t really understand what’s happening which sucks because I really really loved part 1. I honestly loved the slow burn build up early part 2 was going for too, seeing Denji kinda mature after what happened hit diff |

| The other Chainsaw people are members of the church who made contract with the fire devil who has the ability to turn people into whatever form they desire. This was all part of the CSM church's plan who want to power up Chainsaw Man so that he could fight the death devil. The identity of the original fake Chainsaw Man that killed Yuko is not known. Though it is likely that he has a contract with the Fire devil as well. As far as the public safety apprehending Denji is concerned. We don't know what they plan to do with Denji's body parts that they are collecting. This arc is still ongoing but they definitely have some nefarious plans for him. |

| omg I can't understand anything from this part! can someone please explain to me these things that will obviously be explained in future chapters 😭😭😭 |
| Even if things don’t make sense now, I figure it will all come together later. You don’t watch a mystery movie and get mad that the mystery hasn’t been revealed in the first 20 minutes right? Same thing here, just gotta let the story cook and see how everything ties together. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| you have to give time for the dots to connect, otherwise don't read weekly and just wait for this arc to near its conclusion and then read it. i'm personally a big fan of unpredictable stories like this which raise a lot of questions and start to make sense as it goes toward its end. |
 |
| Let the mangaka cook, I didn't like the pacing in part 1, but overall I enjoyed the story that was told then, so wait the whole story to be told before jumping to conclusion. |
 |
| I'm in the same boat. Enjoyed part 1, confused with part 2. Reading the thread though made me feel better that I'm not the only one confused! |
    |
| I gave up all my motivation and enthusiasm for Part 2 a long time ago. Sure, it's still kinda readable and I can still see Fuji's witty story-telling talent deep down, but it's long past the level that made me love the first part so much (and I still do). The most terrible aspect is hands down the new characters and how they are handled (or should I say NOT handled, since almost all of them are either lackluster or just as flat as a paper). I won't even go further to mention the lack of focus in the story, the rather confusing motivations, the degrade of the artwork or the small things that gave Part 1 so much soul, like the chapter covers or the creative panel usage. |

| @thebrentinator24 Well, there's generally a key difference. Mystery movies usually still remains relatively coherent throughout and tends to at least give you threads to follow. Of course you may not fully understanding EVERYTHING, otherwise it wouldn't be a mystery, but they're not just random mumbo jumbo until the last 20 minutes. Part 2 is not something I'd equate to the usual mystery. So far it's just all over the place. |

| @Junchi Absolutely agree with every word you typed. I understand sort of where he’s going with this is, but everything is so jarbled and the new characters so underwhelmingly lacklustre that it ends being a big bunch of meh. He should have ended it with part 1 and waited some years to cook with 2. |

| To me part 2 is the definition of being all over the place. Like, Fujimoto throws out ideas all over the board, and then starts to shuffle them. Some connect between each other while some don't. I find myself constantly in a loop of liking what I am seeing and being bored out of my fucking mind, and the switch is very frequent, so yeah I get your point. Part 1 is extremely straightforward, meanwhile psrt 2 goes here and there, but so far it hasn't gotten deep anywhere. Now I do feel like we will get the dots connected once they dwell into "Nostradamus' prohecies" but who knows when will that be, and part 2 is already pretty long without any plot development. |
| Part 2 is still fun to read though. |
