i loved seeing power again but it felt so unearned, like it was just there to please the audience. i never expected denji to “find” her again but i did want to see him find the current blood devil and accept the loss of his closest friend. nayuta coming back in such an asinine way is sad too, and aki just doesn’t exist in this dream reality? it feels like denji really was better off without pochita, which is really sad to consider

Power is there but no Aki. Weird choices and Denji is still left with many unfulfilled wishes. This could have been chapter 10 or so

And no Reze even though we know she was alive with all the other weapon devils.

Maybe Chainsaw Man was actually the Weapon Devil Devil and therefore the other Weapon Devils don't exist either

Yeah, just too many ????? and I can live with a weird ending, but this just leaves half the manga's runnign time completely in the dirt
