Robviously posted:I am legit surprised that they haven't gone the One Punch Man route and just gotten another artist to tell the HxH story at this point. I'm sure Togashi gets a say in if that's even a possibility but still. It's almost certainly the case that Togashi doesn't want anybody else handling his work in this instance.

So what they're saying is that no one has seen CSM and HxH in the same room at the same time. Hmm...

Everyone's saying the announcement is gonna be for an anime adaptation, but I think the announcement is going to be that Hunter x Hunter is coming back with Fujimoto as illustrator. nah that's not funny

apparently a lot of people are pissed that this is ending so soon because we still haven't gotten a deep dive on makima's backstory, meanwhile i am thankful

It's very Fujimoto of the author to do something like this, so I will probably like this sudden end.

While re-reading, I have a theory on how Denji beats Makima. Makima thinks that Denji's contract with Pochita was for Denji to live a normal life. So Makima purposefully put Denji through hell to try and ruin that so he'd break the contract, presumably freeing Pochita and thus Chainsaw Man himself. However, Denji's ACTUAL contract was to show Pochita his dreams. We don't know what happens if a contract is broken - presumably the one who breaks it dies, or suffers some kind of punishment. Well, what if someone ELSE breaks the contract? Is Makima breaking the contract between Denji and Pochita by ripping them apart? If so, I wonder if whatever punishment is dealt to contract breakers will be dealt to her.

Makima: When I said eat me out Chainsaw Man I didn't mean it like this! Also some great callbacks to the Reze fight. Denji hiding in a pile of corpses to catch Makima off guard reminds me of how Aki managed to attack Reze. Oh and the Power chainsaw has little horns :3 Mulderman fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Dec 4, 2020 |

Yeah. It's definitely something. I mean... just... It's very foreshadowed, it fits with the tone of the series, and it's completely hosed up. I haven't seen anyone call it beforehand, either, which is another point for Fujimoto. Leaving aside the last part of the solution for a moment, that was a good trick on Denji's part. We saw Reze use a variant with a head body split all the way back in chapter 46, but keeping that going for this long? Kishibe's right. Denji's the best Devil Hunter alive. (Looking back at the first chapter earlier today kinda confirmed it. The way Denji killed the Tomato Devil was a total pro's approach, complete with figuring out some tips for safe disposal. Easy to forget with all the crazy later, but Denji started the series as a near ten year veteran in a game where people who survive three years are ancient.) Yep. This manga's a classic. All that's left now is the epilogue. Really excited for the final chapter next week. I knew I could trust Fujimoto's pacing. Lightning fast as it might be. Edit: Holy crap. The shot of Denji slicing into Makima with a chainsaw? That's a callback to the promo art! This manga. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Dec 4, 2020 |

So this should be completely unrelated to CSM’s erasing ability since it’s Denji eating her right? He just thought that since eating her isn’t “attacking” it’d bypass her immortality contract.

I would assume that Chainsaw Man's unique ability will work on Makima, though. Otherwise Denji will have a terrifying surprise in his toilet in a few days' time.

Darth Walrus posted:Last chapter damned well better be about Denji tracking down the Blood Devil. It's likely to come up, I think. Making a point of Power and Denji working together to kill Makima while Poochita was just a decoy suggests that the Blood Devil is going to be part of the epilogue. That said, there's a lot of other things that make sense for the epilogue. Denji and Power's relationship was really important, but it wasn't the central dynamic of the manga (as seen with Power being gone for most of Bomb Devil without hurting the arc), so spending the whole thing on finding the Blood Devil would be a little odd. I mean, just to start, Public Safety's down to just two known living employees (Denji and Kishibe), so that's probably worth a panel or two to handle how the government's going to cope. Kobeni's devil is still up in the air, we might find that out. Reze and the other hybrids can revive, so that probably is worth a bit of time to sort out. And then, if we're talking central dynamics in the manga, there's Denji and Makima, and there's Denji and Poochita. For Makima, there's seeing how this chapter plays out in the longer run. For Poochita, there's the fact the door is gone. He and Denji can see each other in dreams now. And dreams have been a significant recurring theme here. I dunno. There's a lot of directions to go here. I can't call which way things are going to wrap up.
