Chainsaw Man has officially reached its final chapter, and the reaction online has been loud, emotional, and deeply divided. After years of buildup, the ending has left fans stunned and struggling to process what just happened.
Chainsaw Man’s ending leaves fans distraught
Tatsuki Fujimoto launched Chainsaw Man in 2018, and it quickly blew up worldwide. The story follows Denji, a broke teenager who merges with a devil and gets dragged into a brutal, chaotic world. The series built a huge fanbase both in Japan and internationally. The hype only grew after Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, pulling in over $163 million globally (via Box Office Mojo).
The story has now reached its final conclusion. The last chapter was released on March 24, confirming that there will be no continuation. This announcement caught many fans off guard, especially those who were hoping for a third part. Instead, the creator chose to end the story here, wrapping up a narrative that has lasted nearly a decade.
What shocked fans most was how the ending played out. The story essentially resets, sending Denji back to the beginning. While he survives and some elements remain, much of the emotional buildup and character development get undone. Long-running arcs and relationships are left hanging or erased, which didn’t sit well with readers.
Fans quickly flooded social media with strong reactions. One frustrated viewer wrote, “That was crap. Instead of resolving anything, the author just hit the reset button… Nothing mattered.”
A harsher take reads, “Honestly, if this is a true ending… It’s absolute garbage.” Redditors even accused Fujimoto of quitting on the story rather than properly finishing it.
Some fans are also saying that Chainsaw Man had an even worse ending than Jujutsu Kaisen.
Despite the backlash, the ending has sparked intense discussion across the fandom.
