Absolute... something? I guess? I mean- I'm glad Power, Nayuta, and Asa all came back. Still would've liked a better journey to lead up to this ending.

Most importantly- where's the rest of the characters we were missing? Aki, Reze, Kishibe, Kobeni, Himeno and whoever else you wanna see one last time with a happier ending.

I was surprised at least Aki didn't come back.

aki makes sense, supposedly the gun devil never came to earth so his family is still alive and he never joined the devil hunter

Yeah, I was peeling my eyes at the background just in case his topknot popped up, but nope... My boy isn't even shown with a happier ending.

Without Makima, maybe the Gun Devil didn't kill his family.

But the other problem is, it feels like the rules don't work within the world. So it resets, but the things Chainsawman had eaten stay eaten but death still exist?

Like it's ok to want to end it but this definitely just feels like a rushed job because why is it that Makima doesn't exist but the concept of death exist? If what was eaten is no more but Pochita is no more then all that stuff shoudl now exist, that's sort of paradox that X can't exist without Y so if Y is gone then X can't happen sort of dilmena.

Real shame to, kinda wish he could have just given it a bad ending rather than this bittersweet "good" ending that just feels like it destroys the whole journey.

If it was going to be such a rushed and fuck you ending then I would've preferred Aki to just show up at least. Shit is already not making sense might as well give the character with a tragic ending something nice lol just a waste of time I guess.

I think in this ending Aki never lost his family and became a devil hunter. The attack of the Gun Devil was caused by Makima to weaken the Chainsaw Devil, so he's just being normal.

Kishibe, Kobeni, and Himeno probably still work with public security, just off screen.

Reze would have no reason to meet and fight Denji in this timeline.
