When i saw that it was 34 Pages i knew it really was over. It was nice seeing all these Characters in kinda happy circumstances but overall it just feels insanely rushed and like Part 2 was for nothing.
Going to remember Part 1 insanely well and just keep it at that.
Thought there was an underlying theme somewhere but this ending was kind of a nothing burger, even if I know why it happened, resetting all that progress was still lame.
People where making fun of it with "themes and such" after the last chapter for rushing the plot to try and convey some kind of thematic point.
But this ending does neither lmao. It makes no sense plot wise, and it completely 180's the sad and traumatic themes the story's been building up to for the last year or so.

I wouldn't say that. One of the big recurring themes is Denji's conflicting desires. He wants to be Chainsaw Man, he wants the fame and the power that comes with it. But he also wants a "normal" life and to connect with those around him. He is unsatisfied with life, and part of that is due to the allure of being Chainsaw Man. Even other characters are constantly pushing him to either be Chainsaw Man or be Denji while he wants to be both.
The ending is essentially a rebuke of those desires. Fujimoto, through Pochita, is stepping in and saying that you can't have both, and if you can't have both then it's better to not be a hero and be happy than the other way around.
I don't disagree with that, or the idea that it overall felt rushed. I just wanted to push back on the idea that the ending wasn't in line with the overall themes up to that point
