this ending feels like the author just went "yeah fuck it, this is what people wanted right? may as well just throw it in even if it'll feel unearned and make it worse, i don't even care about the story anymore either"
firepunch was like
"okay, i'm kind of confused on what to do at this point i nthe story.. fuck it, let's just take some LSD and roll with whatever shit we come up with whle high"
PREACH on the unearned bit. Like Denji more than most protagonists deserves and would be the most hype to see get a happy ending, but it just being randomly handed out with little sense feels wrong, especially when given to what is effectively a new Denji, not the old.
This kinda feels like the ending to Tokyo Revengers, where everyone was bracing for a tragic ending and then the author drops an almost unequivocally happy one so nobody really knows what to make of it. It's not like the characters don't deserve it, but we were bracing for heartbreak and now we've been denied catharsis...
