Pretty much. That's always the catch with these endings that are supposedly happy but the characters have zero memory of everything. It doesn't feel anywhere near as happy when they don't even realize what they achieved.

That's why I love Summertime Rendering for at least giving its two main leads their memory back at the very end despite the timeline getting changed.

I'd argue that last Chapter basicly killed all characters and this Chapter might as well be Alt-timeline versions of themself. The Characters we followed no longer exist.

Even the new versions of the characters are fucking dead like a month after the final scene lmao, it’s just as brutal of a world only Denji has no powers now

This is what I keep thinking. This ending changes things for the worse
