There's something about this ending that doesn't sit right with me, it feels like an ass-pull in a number of ways. This might be due to my lack of understanding, so i'd be glad if somebody could clarify the following things for me:

1) We know that when devils die in Hell, they are reborn on Earth and vice-versa. So why did Makima reincarnate back into Earth after dying there?
And if you say that she was first reborn in Hell but was killed there swiftly and then reborn again back to Earth, consider that we also know from Angel Devil that ALL the devils that appeared on Earth before were killed in Hell by Chainsaw Man. But since there's no Chainsaw Man in Hell currently, who else is doing the killing? At this point it becomes a pure specualtion.

2) If decoy Denji was Pochita he threw from the outer space, then how did his original body get back on Earth? Also, how did he survive all this time without a heart?

3) What does he mean he made chainsaw from Power's blood? Did he inherit her ability to conjure weapons out of blood or is there some other way?

also, the whole thing about cannibalism being love and having to hug that kid was probably the most unsettling thing in this manga ngl... (and not in a good way).

What's unsettling about hugging a kid though?

I will suggest you to re read it, coz chainsawman is quite fast paced, some things might be missed when you binge read it, specially the last arc. I too had to re read it, coz I did skip some points.

And about the last arc, even though chainsawman is fast paced, its pacing is good, but in the last arc pacing felt a bit chaotic and rushed.
Like we were getting some imp info, no time to explain it or digest it just Fight!, Again some info then instant fight, if anime adapts the last arc I expect them to smooth the pacing.

(1) That's misinformation, I think angel was talking abt the devils that were in public safety, and how they heard chainsaw before dying. Now it doesn't mean they were killed by chainsaw, in ch83 makima said

so they might be actually fighting for chainsawman in a battle, and makima gathered all of them.

Chainsawman isn't the executioner of hell, we already saw makima getting destroyed by darkness devil, so there is no rule like only chainsawman can kill them and makima probably got killed in hell again. There is one more theory abt makima reincarnation.

(2) Well actually what he did there was ripped-off his heart from body, and threw his heart towards the earth and his heart regenerated into a new body, the old body that was in space must be still in space or probably destroyed.

The heart is actually the main body, if the heart is still there he can regenrate his whole body. This is true for actually all the hybrids. Like if there hybrid part is still alive they can just regenrate their whole body.
And the state of denji in last arc is still not clear, like that wasn't denji's hybrid form, that might be pochita's true form, but who was in control.

(3) You might have doubt abt that denji clone state too, both of them were denji probably, but one with pochita as his heart just like how there were 2 reze in bomb arc when she was fighting division 2 and like when denji seperated his heart and threw it from space which regenerated into a completely new body.

He did mention that he vaguely remembers to be able to fight like that.

Now the power bit, In ch 90/91 we saw power and denji making a contract, that "come and find me in hell" one, and denji mentioned in ch96 that he almost ended up using all the blood that power gave him.
So, that was power's "power" like other public safety employees denji too made a contract, this contract might actually lead to finding the old power in the new blood devil.

Well this is why I suggest you to re-read chainsawman, fujimoto really dumped a whole load of info in last arc, though most of the things did come together.

I heard the Chief-editor actually lets him go wild(not like fire punch), and his own editor is going to become chief editor of SJ+ .

I remember seeing his comments after weekly chapter, he used to always talk abt food and it was always like why fujimoto talks abt food in weekly comments , and then he gave this plater on last chap. That's what he aiming towards lol.

Well what can I say? Shit took a dip in the middle there somewhere after Power died but it all worked out well in the end. Good manga 8/10, will look forward to see this animated. And Part 2. We'll meet again, Denji.


Tbh it was a bit of let down for me about the ending, then realizing it's only "part 1" makes me excited again..
Hopefully Denji finds a way to "revives" Power in 2nd part, as it's been hinted from the last a few chapters before..

It was a good ending... Not so depressive as the previous chapter and we got the see Pochita talking again. Just hoped to see Power (or Denji looking for her).

Loved this manga's history and characters. Just not a big fan of the action scenes.

Honestly felt like Fujimoto rushed through the ending of the arc. Felt like he wanted to quickly end it so he can move onto the 2 arc, so reading the end felt really tiring & messy. Love how everything tied in the end tho, with Denki recognizing makima from her bite.
I was fucking flabbergasted to see that that was only the first arc.

With the premise of the series you could immidiately make out a typical shounen storyline: Monster hunting universe, main character gets possessed by a monster, get the monsters powers, joins a monster hunting institution, first arcs are about monster hunting, then the story delves into hunting the main antagonist, the mega monster (the gun devil), Denji made a promise to the defeat the gun devil to makima, the girl he loves, so because of the power of friendship/love, he's going to defeat the mega monster.
Boy did that get turned on its head

Honestly this is the one of the manga that I couldn't predict when reading. It's also fucking ruthless with character deaths. I guess Power is going to get brought back, but us Aki simps will just forever sit in sadness

Who would've thought that Chainsaw Man could come from the same fucked up head that gave us the shit show that was Fire Punch.

PS: For every one that doesn't seem to understand, Makima is DEAD, devils on the other hand don't really die, they just go to Hell when they "die", then reencarnate when they get killed in Hell as well, unless they are devoured by Chainsaw Man, which Denji isn't.

Makima = Control Devil
Nayuta = Control Devil
Makima =/ Nayuta


This. I can't believe we all went through that shit and not get Makima in the end. This is like 3D Kanojo without having her memories-hell Makima herself. Laame.

i wish makima would have won, she is much more interesting than denji. (denji is good, but not as great as makima was)

part 2 is probably going to not be good as part 1 (the 40-97 stretch chapters were brilliant), but i hope it's good.

Ahhhh I want to see power again, I mean it won’t really be her anymore if she’s reborn (like makima) but I want to see her be friends with Denji, as her first friend again.... I wonder if he can somehow give her back her old memories somehow since he made a contract with her that made her give “her body” ... since her blood alone had consciousness inside him.... then again I’m pretty sure he used up all her blood fighting makima but still.... ah I sped read this sleep deprived but all I know is

That was a very satisfying ending, at least for me, Makima is gone yet she came back, I liked that. Denji is doing his own thing as the hero Chainsaw Man I guess, I liked that too.

Overall this manga has been amazing, it was really fun and gave me the feeling this rare feeling, it's when a series is so good, you keep reading it without getting bored or anything. Loved the overall message and that hug was very wholesome. I really loved the artstyle, it reminded me alot of Dorohedoro which I absolutely loved. The atmosphere was really nice throughout the story. Some things could've been different but I still enjoyed it alot. Can't wait for the adaptation by MAPPA, excited to see how it'll turn out. I wonder if we will get a part 2 or anything like that. It's been an awesome ride reading this, until then later.

wait Devils eaten by Chainsaw Man cease to exist right? so how come the Control Devil reincarnated? i hope there is an explanation about that or maybe because Denji is a hybrid of Human and the Chainsaw Devil so that may explain why for some reason

or maybe the blood of Power which disrupts the regeneration of Makima last so long until Denji's stomach was able to digest Makima

dang chapter 53 says by the Angel Devil that when a devil is killed on earth they get reincarnated in hell and when they are killed in hell they are reincarnated on earth, so how come the Control Devil that is killed on earth was reincarnated on earth again

It's because Denji ate her, and not Pochita/the chainsaw devil which she would've wanted.

It can be inferred that the Control Devil was killed immediately (maybe by the Darkness Devil, although if she reincarnates in a child form every time maybe much weaker devils can take her out there) once she reincarnated in Hell, meaning she has already reincarnated again back on Earth.

Denji basically found a loophole and ate her in human form, since eating her technically isn't an "attack" he found a workaround for her revival ability and since it wasn't pochita eating her she wouldn't be erased. i swear only denji could think of such a weird workaround lmao

As for the reincarnation thing, as said above she basically must have been spawnkilled in hell lol, i'm sure there were plenty of demons who had beef wit her so i'm not surprised

My first completed shounen manga, but this did not feel like it at all. This is 10x more bloody and edgy that Golden kamuy, an actual seinen, lol.
I loved every part of this. The most enjoyable manga I've read to date, and I can only think of 2 or 3 anime that I enjoyed as much as this. The plot was great, international assassins and control devil arcs were both legitimate 10/10s, or close to it. And I have so much respect for this cast, 3 of the characters (power, makima, aki) are in my top 25, but denji is still a top tier mc and the rest of the cast is just awesome. Can't wait for p2 and anime.

Okay, so that was mildly interesting. Wasn't Makima such a let-down though? She was hyped up to be this grand and almost God-like entity for half of the manga, had one of the strongest characters introduced up to that point (Quanxi) surrender and resign herself to her fate at the mere sight of her, insta-killed Power, another character that's supposed to be stupidly strong and nearly immortal. And after that we get what, 3 chapters of battle, after which she is swiftly disposed of? And don't get me started on the motivations. She's gonna stop wars, poverty and hunger by... killing their respective devils and using Denji's power on them?? What the fuck is a poverty devil or hunger devil anyway? It's almost like a grade schooler's idea of how to save the world.

I understand that most stuff on this manga are kind of out there, and it's supposed to be part and parcel of the experience, but after Aki's death (never forget) it really has upped the level of bullshittery by many many orders of magnitude. It got long the past the point of having anyone or anything that one could feasibly root for.

That's just how the manga is like, people get killed pretty easily no matter how strong they are, because you never know what might actually happen to you!
Honestly I think the manga is pretty realistic. And maybe because I don't enjoy long fights and a long ass introduction of a character's strength that I enjoyed the fast-pace so much

Great manga. The last arc was a bit underwhelming for me but that’s because the Hell arc and everything after it set my expectations so high. The story is not over yet, so for now, unexplained questions aren’t a problem.

Imo, this was a bittersweet ending, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

I am oddly satisfied with the ending. I do think there are rough patches and there are things I wish were better explained in the whole picture but Denji isn't alone.

And I'm not sure on a Part 2 either but I'm weirdly okay with it not sure if I wanna give this a 8 or 9. Very tossed. Leaving

Can someone explain how Denji was able to "surprise" attack Makima when Makima was shown to be faster than Quanxi, who was so fast that Denji couldn't even see her? No, in the first place, how was Denji even able to land a hit on Makima when she's that fast?

And how comes Power's blood was able to stop Makima from regenerating?

And how comes Makima doesn't just control Power and Kishibe?

And what happened to Makima's gun power? Why didn't she just use it to blow up Denji?

And how comes eating her isn't counted as an attack?
