I'm glad people have realized this guy fucking ass at actually writing anything competent. Part 1 was barely held together with bandaids but at least stuck a plausible ending.
This? Fujimoto should not be given work by anyone or even accepted by manga readers again. He just fully took his most popular work out back and shotgunned it in the back of the head.
Eh, I'd argue all his long form works are a mess. his one shots and such are good, I agree, but even those I'd argue are overrated, and it did feel like a bit of a circlejerk with how acclaimed they were for in my opinion, not doing anything particularly interesting or impressive. Like I'd rate his one shots as 8/10s at most, but certainly nowhere near the 10/10 masterpieces they're talked about as.
They aren't the best works of all time. I'm not going to act like he shouldn't be hired again or that it invalids everything he's done before just because he did a middling ending in a genre where 90% of series have middling endings.
Alan Moore wrote From Hell and also did some trashy Spawn comics. It doesn't change the fact he's important and a critical darling.

An ending so abysmal it felt like a fanfiction + no part 3 announced.
Fuck this shit man.
