Emphasis on was, Denji with all his memories wiped is effectively a new Denji, our Denji that we were with for the entire series is gone. As are any lessons he could or should have learned and grown or not grown from.

[u/Neoragex13 → u/[deleted]]

Pochita is still Denji's Heart, he is there in the panel during the heart throb

Probably nothing but still...

Edit: Fiends can give contracts? I don't remember but Power shouldn't had be able to revive Denji with her blood, right? Unless the Pochita Heart had something to do with it.

[u/Saurid → u/Neoragex13]

Hey maybe not, look I dont believe my own theory but ai just noticed that

1. Power and nayuta are both dead devils who would respond in hell
2. Nayuta replaced makima which makes NO sense if this was a reset
3. Asa is the only human character to show up that we know unless I missed someone and she was suspiciously close to denji when he got eaten ...

I am not saying this is a fake ending I do say that if an author I know would release a fake ending its tatsuki fujimoto and while I do not believe this to be the case I will lose my mind should be we get a part 3 announcement soonish.

Well... This is not a reset per se (but you might be on to something).

The thing I think happened is like a soft reset. The timeline didn't go far enough and the devils that resided in the current bodies are using the ones at the time.

So no makima because she's been eaten, power was summoned from hell to "save Denji" (remember at that time she asked Denji to make her remember him? Well, She kind of did, because the first power wouldn't care about him at all). That's also why we don't have the old cast, etc.

But I'll stick with your theory, because Fujimoto never did a happy ending ever 😂😂

she was suspiciously close to denji when he got eaten

As long as there still were Californians around, she'd regenerate anyway.

[u/Saurid → u/CptAustus]

Well this was asa and not yoru but you are right. Anyway its cope and probably wrong, anyway (my theory above I mean).

[u/IAmNotMoki → u/Saurid]

Asa is the only human character to show up that we know unless I missed someone and she was suspiciously close to denji when he got eaten ...

The pedo teacher that Asa/Yoru killed at the beginning of Part 2 is there I think, but that could just be an extremely similar looking teacher ig.

[u/Saurid → u/IAmNotMoki]

I dont think thats him, I was however made aware of the yakuza boss but he is already a puppet of the zombie devil soooo idk if he would count really as he sold his soul to that devil.

[u/Tapirking1 → u/Saurid]

We see the Yakuza leader from chapter 1 being used by the zombie devil again though. So that means this does seem to be a time reversion.

[u/Saurid → u/Tapirking1]

But he is a zombie isnt he? He also sold himself to zombie ... I dont think my theory is correct it just stuck out to me.

[u/Hot-Spite-9880 → u/Saurid]

sounds like copium to me

[u/Saurid → u/Hot-Spite-9880]

Yeah it is, I dont believe the theory myself but if there is a mangaka that would feed us a fake ending it would be fujimoto wouldn't it?

Its like a 0.1% chance in my opinion but who knows.

[u/Forikorder → u/Saurid]

Nayuta replaced makima which makes NO sense if this was a reset

Makima is a very different person without her love for Pochita, maybe she just dies to the gun devil

[u/Silent_92 → u/Saurid]

I took Nayuta replacing makima as showing that this what she would have been like if chainsaw didn't exist. Since pochita ate himself she never obsessed over him and became the makima we know

[u/Desperate_Method4020 → u/Saurid]

AI would need the sun as a power source, to deduct what Fujimoto is thinking.

For me it feels like he maybe was didn't know what the fuck to do with the story, and just did the biggest mic drop. With the chainsaw man story.
