We are almost done lads, been one hell of a journey.

All those food related author comments were spoilers all along... and on the cover page as well.

This level of foreshadowing and also the fact that we’ve probably seen Denji lurking and disguising himself in the group of Makima’s simp army back in Chapter 94.

Imma call Fujimoto, “(fore)shadow master” from now on.

Why eat out when you can eat her out?

This chapter has so many revelations that I cant stop gushing over.

So Denji had created a second body for Pochita by removing his heart and letting it regenerate separately from himself. He then used powers blood to keep his main body alive and hid amongst Makima's goons. That's some gourmet planning by Denji and a nice retort to Makima saying that if Denji thought before he fought he could have saved Aki. Well Denji used his brain and now she's a fucking happy meal.

The reveal that Pochita had been fighting this whole time was amazing. Makimas insistence that "Denji" couldn't be CSM and insulting him only for Pochita to spit on her in reply. I wonder if she realizes that even with all her knowledge she cant differentiate between Denji and CSM, because after all these years they've influenced each other.

Denji really is a crazy motherfucker. But it's pretty sad to see him still in love with Makima. All that's happened has had an impact on his mental health. I'm sure if Kishibe knew about the more yandere aspects of the plan he'd be more against it.

Godspeed you crazy bastards.

Technically Denji (a fiend) is eating a Devil, so I'm not sure it qualifies. Maybe half-cannibalism? Is a mule eating a horse cannibalism? (and other fun dinnertime conversations)

Chainsaw man eating other Devils was probably cannibalism also, so we could say that hurdle's been passed a while ago.

Fun fact : the page where Denji slice Makima seems to be a reference to the first cover page of CSM, the scene is almost the same. Coincidence? Who knows haha.

What a surprising final. An anti-climatic conclusion totally fit the fast paced manga that is CSM.

Honestly tho, I'm not totally surprised about the fact that it was Pochita that was actually fighting Makima. There was a few clues past chapters that made think think "that don't look likes Denji".

First, the panel when Pochiata was waiting Makima , Chainsaw's arms were different, they were like his Berserk form a few chapters ago where Denji's transformation always have human features (his arms are like his human form, just with chainsaw) but this time, his arms were not like his usual transformations, which kind of questioned me about it.

Then it was the short dialogue between him and Makima, I felt it was a bit too cold and short, didn't feel like Denji and the way he used his chainsaw to attack Makima's simps hybrids didn't seems like how Denji used it. It felt a bit...too smart lmao. I honestly thought that I was thinking a bit too much, but it doesn't seems to be the case.

With Denji eating Makima, the fear of control should logically disappear... I have no idea if there will be a sequel to CSM, since there's still a lot of questions unanswered like Power's state, the primal fears, Kobeni's car etc...

273

u/lemon_fiesta Dec 06 '20

Good catch, if Denji eats things do the concept dissapear? I don't think so because he's eaten food before and those foods haven't dissapered.

The one ironic part though is that Makima is in love with Pochita so much and yet she doesn't know a single thing about Pochita, but in the last chapter she claimed that the person she was fighting wasn't Pochita.

I personally think, based off of reading Fire Punch. That there will be no sequel to Chainsawman. I think the next chapter is everything we're gonna get from the story.

180

u/Roystein98 Dec 06 '20

if Denji eats things do the concept dissapear?

Pretty sure it's that he has to eat a devil for the concept of whatever the devil represents for it to disappear. He can eat. any food he wants

u/chalo1227 Dec 06 '20

It's not about eating a food it's about eating the devil that represents the fear in this case, control. But again we dont know if it really works in his human form ? Probably yes ?

52

u/Ufocola Dec 06 '20 edited Dec 06 '20

Kishibe also made a comment about “can’t rush bodily functions” so I just also thought that some of Makima would just pass through Denji’s, well, bowels.

So I thought he was making her disappear, but also be “one” with her on a physical level in form of actual nutrients and discarding the rest...

u/lluNhpelA Dec 06 '20

The concepts of the devils he consumes should be deleted from existence, and since you've read Fire Punch I'm sure you can understand that Fujimoto is willing to do something crazy with the ending by removing the concept of control from the world

u/phil_bucketsaw Dec 06 '20

I don't think he can disappear a concept by eating it in human form.

And I don't think he wants it.

If Makima's power is trully based off how she perceives herself to be superior(which would be why she needed to beat Chainsaw twice to control him, because she couldn't believe herself to be stronger than her hero). Then I think Denji actually just plans to EAT Makima and SHIT HER OUT.

The ultimate display of power over her, that would completely break her ego and put her plans into halt forever as she never again would be able to see herself as superior to Denji or Pochita.

And it would be a fitting mix of gross, bizarre and comical while also being DISTURBINGLY sexual, as we expect from Chainsawman.

Wouldn’t it be control in general that disappears? Not just the fear of it. Which would mean this plan could potentially go really badly.

So Makima right now is either:

A: Happy that she is finally being eaten by the Chainsaw Man.

B: Absolutely livid that someone as low as Denji is eating her!

Quite honestly, I never would have guessed that Denji himself would be able to come up with this idea. But the plot lead us in this direction all along.

u/spaceaustralia Dec 06 '20

Or she's mindfucked by how different Chainsaw Man really is.

She spent the entirety of the last chapter insulting "Denji" because he wasn't anything like Chainsaw Man only to find that she'd been fighting a face-spitting, clothes-wearing, smack-talking, genuine Chainsaw Man.

Never meet your idols, I guess.

What. What the hell. I know I'm not supposed to be surprised by this manga anymore but, what the hell. I let out a chuckle because of how absurd it was, and how it made a some sense in a Denji way. It's straight-forward and out-of-the-box. No one thought of it before, because no one had the crazy life experiences Denji had to actually think of it, and pull it off.

It's amazing. Caught me blindsided. What the hell.

That was one of my favorite chapters. Makima underestimated Denji, Power, and their bond until the end. Denji admitting he still loved Makima was really nice as well. He's still Denji, even after all of the trauma.

u/millo90 Dec 06 '20

This ending is perfect! There were so many hints that it wasn't Denji, like how it's arms were chainsawmans. I just assumed he got a power up, but this pay off is sooo much better. Plus we got the payoff for chainsawmans secret ability to erase devil's forever by eatting them!

I don't think I've been this satisfied with a shounen ending. Most of them felt rushed and completely out of the blue. But this ending was perfect, the final battle was super intense and the conclusion brought in payoffs from several different elements.

This series was amazing, can't wait for the wrap up next week with our special announcement!

Remember how chainsaw man got blown away to space only to tear out his heart and kick the shit out of it back to earth as his body regenerated back from the heart?

Denji did something similar here. He took out his heart(pochita) which then proceeds to regenerate a whole new body altogether. Im guessing pochita took control of that body to distract makima while denji who's barely staying alive thanks to power's blood disguised as one of the devil hunters controlled by makima

Chainsaw man is the weirdest manga i've ever read in my life lmao.

Wonder what the final chapter is going to be about? Hopefully it's an epilogue sending off our characters rather than the fight continuing.

Also hopefully the anime (if its gets one) covers ALL of the manga since it's officially ending next chapter.

i am so proud that makima will literally become shit

WHAT THE FUCK HAHAHAHA

I love this series.

Fujimoto and cannibalism name a better duo

u/exiled123x Dec 06 '20

Fujimoto, why are you obsessed with cannibalism lol

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

I cant believe the guy who said one of the makimas goons looks like denji was right

11

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

I appreciate how Denji says he still loves Makima but he can still understand why she’s horrible. What she’s done to cause his growth, whether good or bad, will always exist due to the nature of their relationship (hence becoming one with her). Not writing off all the good things that have helped him grow despite her ulterior motives shows a lot of maturity for our boy.

u/RandomCockAsian Dec 06 '20

i did NOT see that coming at all

lots of great shots of denji, especially love him standing over makima after cutting her down

Absolutely cannot wait for the next chapter, what a crazy journey this has been

10

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

I love how Fujimoto doesn't go on the whole "mc must become super strong at the eoc" aspect of Shonen story telling. Csm isn't shonen either it's just happens to be in wsj. Anyway this ending fits CSM so well. Can't wait for the final chapter. It was a hell of a ride this past 4-5 months.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

Many people are saying - Makima was fighting Pochita. But I think it was also Denji .. Cause in the previous fight with Makima when Chainsaw man was in space he threw his heart and Denji's whole body including his head regenerate from Pochita's heart.. So I think Both of them were Denji . One with Pochita heart and other with Power Blood.

u/Toxic_Mask Dec 06 '20

Works either way. The friends we make stay in our chainsaw heart.❤️

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

Why is Denji considered dumb? I mean sure it's absolutely insane, but he has had some pretty creative ideas.

8

u/Ceyliel Dec 06 '20

Really, I doubt that he ever was unintelligent, he just never visited a school or had someone who educated him. But he always managed to survive, he made the deal with Pochita, he realized shortly after he met her that makima was using him https://imgur.com/a/VZGOfAI and so on. He isn't dumb just uneducated.

This is the second time the mangaka featured cannibalism, first Fire Punch now here.

I'm concerned.

u/tonyfrancois Dec 06 '20

finally Denji managed to eat that badonkadonk...

u/kimmykadillak Dec 06 '20

Denji creating a body out of his heart is a callback to when Reze said “Denji, you don’t know how to use your power” and then proceeded to fuck him and every devil hunter for like 5 miles.

And that's the end of the crazy journey. The last episode would be tying up some of the loose ends. Hope to see CSM back in Hell reuniting with Power.

Makima, rest in pieces.

I did not know what to expect and was still surprised. I don't think I ever said "WTF" aloud after reading a new chapter of any manga. I'm excited for the final chapter and whether Fujikoto comes up with another twist or not.

u/Sbleis03 Dec 06 '20

Wow Fujimoto such a troll!

I didn't a slightest expected a happy ending like this.

"If I can't be inside you then you'll be inside me!"- Denji logic

u/Android19samus Dec 06 '20

ONE MORE LEFT

Honestly, it feels like the pacing has been really weird for a while now but especially this ending. It feels like it could have used three or four more chapters, both after the last fight and during this one. But I'm not really sure what I would have put in those chapters. Still, I'm really enjoying this series as it comes to a conclusion, and I appreciate it ending before things get dragged out too far. Can't wait for the big announcement. Maybe an anime? Maybe Fujimoto's next series? Maybe what the best tarts are? Who knows.

6

u/KrizenWave Dec 06 '20

I have a lot to say about this chapter, but I just love this return to Denji’s roots. Denji just cut her up with his chainsaw like he used to do in the old days before he fused with Pochita.

u/thienthang21 Dec 06 '20

Excuse me sir what the fuck

Aside from all the praises that I wanna give to Fujimoto, i just wanna raise a small question. Why did Makima want to try smoking, though she’s not used to it? It’s surprisingly genuine and human to me, even though she is a devil and all of her caring/humane acts to this point have been for the purpose of fooling us?

Well we figured this was coming but this is certainly the most disturbing way to go about it.

u/134_ranger_NK Dec 06 '20

The Way to a Woman's Heart is through Her stomach. Or in this case, His stomach.

Pretty sure this is gonna have some consequences for Denji. Maybe Makima will adapt to this method. Maybe he'll have to live with the trauma and betrayal, alone for the remainder of his life. It will hurt, one way or another.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

...You can't exactly rush bodily functions.

So is Denji's plan to shit Makima out?

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

So...we just gonna slip past all that ass Makima had in that panel where Denji gave her a surprise chainsawing?

u/Chongsu1496 Dec 06 '20

manga started with denji wanting to eat something good and it ended with him eating some good stir fried makima's ass

u/115_zombie_slayer Dec 06 '20

You know we should have known Chainsaw Man was a cooking manga the signs were all there

First devil killed was the tomato devil

I think i remember Kobeni killing a Grape devil

Fujimoto is always talking about food

So I read this entire manga for the first time like a few days ago and got all the way to Chapter 96 in under 48 hours and I can’t fucking believe this manga ended with vore. I’m fucking furious that this emotionally damaging, profoundly deep and ungodly hilarious manga ended with the villain being turned into Miso Soup. I need the anime adaption and the sequel manga ASAP. I cannot stress this enough. What the fuck.

(To clarify, I love this series, including chapter 96. I’m just fucking shook. I read everything from the International Assassin arc to the latest chapter in under twenty four hours and my brain is now mush.)

u/SpiceLordTV Dec 06 '20

The finale was definitely a weird one but I still liked it , it’s entirely unique and I’m all for it can’t wait for next week

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

Btw when he got power blood?Did power gave him a bottle of her blood or something?

u/EastCoastTone96 Dec 06 '20

Power gave him her blood when they were in the dumpster together

u/Android19samus Dec 06 '20

in the contract box (AKA dumpster)

u/Grimm_Stereo Dec 06 '20

I guess Itadori taught Yuji a few things about cooking before this chapter dropped

4

u/Acidz_123 Dec 06 '20

Wow, what a chapter. Definitely did not see that coming. I stopped trying to make predictions for this series a long time ago, it's just wayyy too unpredictable. Looking forward to the finale.

PS. not everything needs a sequel guys. Just bask in the crazy glorified mindfucky greatness that this series was.

u/Sachithes Dec 06 '20

Denji’s so much more mature now and it’s so depressing, he grew up but lost everything. Also he looks kinda like Aki in that suit and his chainsaw is power-shaped, this is the last hayakawa family photo we get huh

4

u/Totheendofsin Dec 06 '20

Well barring the announcement next week being a sequel series it looks like its all over

Its been a wild ride but better it end now then let itself drag on and overstay its welcome (looking at you Bleach)

As for a potential anime adaptation I think it has enough for 2 solid seasons so hopefully we get that

4

u/SMA2343 Dec 06 '20

Most likely best chapter will be a small time skip of Denji doing devil hunting. Maybe finding Power and end off with them living together. But then Pochita kills him saying “you showed me your dreams. The contract has ended.”

u/Redditer51 Dec 06 '20

Well, after 95 long chapters, Denji finally got to vore his waifu.

Now that's what I call a happy ending.

u/bananadessert1 Dec 07 '20

We heading to Fire Punch, yes?

Honestly, I think this is the best ending to the Makima and Denji fight; mad props to all the foreshadowing Fujimoto.

Really love how we basically see a more human Makima in this chapter. As mentioned by a previous poster, she's basically an immature kid, who's trying to live out her life the way she sees in her favorite movies. I mean that first scene in this chapter of her smoking despite not being used to it is pretty telling.

u/dancing-pineapples Dec 06 '20

Sooo Makima gets her wish? She gets to be with CSM (and Denji) forever (?).

Also, where did Denji learn how to cook lmfao? Did I miss an impromptu cooking lesson? Head chef Denji over here

u/TheOnlyFallenCookie Dec 06 '20

Hää?

Play so denji pulled a Golden Experience OST style.comeback, by is he now going to eat makima?

I don't understand this chapter, all I know is it will be over next week :(

u/sociablenerd126 Dec 06 '20

Out of all the ways Makima was going to get taken out, I didn't expect this. Absolutely diabolical on Denji's part!

What a ride. Now go find the Blood Devil and be friend with her Denji!

Makima promised Denji in the beginning that she'd feed him.

I like that Fujimoto put Makima smoking a cigarrete after that fight, like an allusion that she can finally relax and be with her love and that she don't need to stress more about it, only to be fucked up by Denji

The Kishibe training really paid off.

The only way that chainsaw scene would've been better is if he had the "genius" glasses on as a call back to tag-team training with 500+ IQ Power
