OKAY WHAT THE FUCK FUJIMOTO
maybe because every week (almost) chainsaw man chapter is actually the worst way to write, draw and publish stuff but WHAT?!
Are you telling me, after all that Asa/Yoru and Denji discussion, after the events leading up to a somewhat good ending where the two are going to do something (not particularly sex but..) and fix the world going into chaos or whatever (yeah isn't that still happening??), fumiko stuff, Chainsaw Man, ends with Chainsaw (Pochita) eating themselves because of Denji not enjoying life because he's being targeted by everyone and like, not enjoying life, not processing trauma, hiding behind the Chainsaw Man identity, etc. It's somewhat like, thematic or something but jeez, I hate that it ends with Denji likely having a worse time without a devil, and basically being de-powered while probably having nothing to his name...
God if that Part 3 theory on the r/Chainsawfolk was right... But, still... I LOVE PART 2 but it definitely has many many problems. More than Part 1, I'd say. One of the few writing choices is this one. Maybe it'd end somewhere hopeful or I dunno, satisfying?? Like, Asa/Yoru..? Where's the two? What are they going to do? They remember Denji, and Yoru might remember Chainsaw Man (Because Makima vaguely remembers eaten stuff right?) and like, where's it leading up to? It's not like without Chainsaw Man, or Chainsaw Devil even that things'll improve.. How can you make the characters end their arcs in a satisfying way in one ending chapter?
This just encourages me to keep writing my Chainsaw Man fanfic, to understand all of the themes, and what I think, are mistakes due to external pressures and fix them in my own way It's not a fix-it fic, it's just me inserting Asa/Yoru into Part 1 and working off of that. I don't think I'm better than Fujimoto though, we'll see if Part 3 even will exist (hopefully) but if it's like in the future..? I just hope the ending chapter gives a satisfying ending to it's themes, doesn't have to be happy really either.
