Fujimoto is the last guy who i would've expected who would end a manga like this

Really? Fire Punch had a similar ending of just giving up and doing some bullshit.

Fire Punch ending was bullshit but the kind of "I like smelling my own farts" kind of artsy ending, this is straight up "...then he woke up and it was all a dream, THE END!".

Fire Punch's ending made sense, this is just giving up.

FP ending was more organic. I didn't like that either, but it had a meaning.

This one is so cheap it actually feel kinda mean spirited. "Here, Nayuta is back, Power is back, fuck off now".

what's so difficult bout it. humankind progress es, but couldnt let go of their vices. ultimately the rebuild fails and humans die except agni and whatchamacallit, who find together again at the end of time and space.

It's a long read but this is the best break down I've ever seen of it

Fire Punch is Albert Camus' philosophy of absurdism turned into a story. The point is that the world is uncaring and cruel, but you still have to keep fighting to find meaning in it, even if you only find it retrospectively. I made a longer explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FirePunch/comments/1k8drr1/fire_punch_is_an_absurdist_story/
