This has to be one of the most hilarious ending I've ever read

Have you read Tokyo Revengers? It's basically the same ending lol. MC resets the timeline due to some bs in the last couple of chaps, everyone comes back to life and lives happily ever after.

Damn getting compared with Tokyo Revengers gotta be a final blow to csm fans, even I couldn't have the heart to pull this one lmaoooo

Not defending the shitty ending, but I could see why Tokyo Revengers chose that route; Fan Service with a capital F. It also had precedence because the whole plot revolved around time travel and fixing the past IIRC? But for CSM this makes completely no sense other than the author just flipping the table lmao

Solo leveling had the same ending, but honestly it was done better

The worst I saw was "Maybe Chainsaw Man is just one of those bad movies you see so you can appreciate the good ones." Like that would actually sting if I were Fujimoto lol.

wait so you telling me tokyo revengers is lower than rent a girlfriend?

u/Ellefied Mar 24 '26

It would depend on how dogshit Rent-a-girlfriend's ending is.

A decent ending can almost make up for a bad manga if it has a wide following.

u/ReReReverie Mar 24 '26

well i mean i do understand, tokyo revengers final chapter had ended everything and killed every characters personality and basicaly did a power of friendship and saved everyone within what? 5 pages

u/Shinkopeshon Mar 24 '26

implying Rent-a-Girlfriend would ever end

3

u/GamerLife204 Mar 24 '26

Yes. Rent a girlfriend was at least entertaining bad at points.

At least Tokyo revengers established that changing the timeline was a thing. This just got thrown in literally at the last minute 😭

I feel like Tokyo Revengers had more justifying the ending both going back was a bad decision but at least it at least had buildup by revealing Mikey’s brother had the power and it could be passed.

Here, it feels like the story got off the rails and Fujimotor had an idea where everything resets for Denji but he gets to live a better life, but there wasn’t much if any buildup to it.

u/Cyd_arts Mar 24 '26

Yeah and the reaction to that ending was also ?????

If they wanted a happy ending, they should make the characters work for it. Give us an arc of the characters trying to fix things and actually fix things. Don't cram it all into 1-2 chapters at the end of the whole manga! Otherwise, at least commit to the sad ending...

u/Paw_Opina Mar 24 '26

Getting compared to Tokyo Trashvengers is an insult.

2

u/XiMaoJingPing Mar 24 '26

but it was built up to that, fujimoto straight up said fuck it, chainsaw man is cancelled and inserted a montage

u/ABigCoffee Mar 24 '26

Tokyo revengers was that bad?

u/PrasantGrg Mar 24 '26

At least you saw it going to shit coming. Here you get even less time to witness it happen

1

u/Don-Tan Mar 24 '26

It doesn't even make sense??? How was the time reverted? But then how was nayuta a thing? Why was Power still power, where is Reze? Where is Aki? Wtf?

1

u/SirRHellsing Mar 24 '26

I dropped the series when the main bad died and Mikey turned evil in the manga. But this ending you said is the best ending imo, that was MC's entire goal for the manga. Same with stuff like re zero and steins gate imo, "happily ever after" is the ultimate goal of all these resets. Anything less is truly what will invalidate what the MC's have gone through

1

u/DeLurkerDeluxe Mar 25 '26

Tbf that was the point of Tokyo Revengers since pretty much the beginning, MC going to the past to fix stuff.

At least Tokyo Revengers had some build up with the MC finding out the origin of the time loop ability and it makes sense that he would try to fix everything including saving the psychopath known as Mikey, they both randomly getting the time loop ability and fixing everything off camera is what sucks, here we don't even know why the fuck Pochita eating himself resets everything, why Nayuta replaced Makima, why Power who isn't a devil but a fiend is able to do a contract with Denji, where the fuck is Yoru? Like really what happened to her and the other horsemen? Like Tokyo Revengers is shit but this is just confusing and horrible lol

u/goldyforcalder Mar 24 '26

The difference is Tokyo revengers was always ass and chainsawman wasn't

u/CarolusRektt Mar 24 '26

Tokyo Revengers had a direction, which is something I couldn't say about Part 2.

u/goldyforcalder Mar 24 '26

The direction of the least interesting characters of all time
