5 manga that had better endings than chainsaw

A man with a chainsaw Part 2 ended with release CSM Chapter 232. While the ending of the manga is by no means bad (it's honestly much better written than most fans realize), the fact remains that A man with a chainsaw is another shonen manga that comes to an abrupt, almost rushed conclusion that stops the main story in its tracks to focus on a thematically appropriate conclusion rather than something that would be narratively satisfying.

Compared to other manga with similar endings, A man with a chainsaw Part 2 seems missing to me. There is a way to pull off an ending that focuses primarily on the themes and still leave the reader satisfied. The problem with A man with a chainsawThe ending is that the manga seemed to have more and more story potential – with Denji, with Asa, and with the apocalypse. This is partly the point of Tatsuki Fujimoto's end A man with a chainsaw with Chapter 232, but it's hard not to compare it unfavorably to other manga with stronger endings.

The ending of the Chainsaw Man manga is weird, rushed, and feels a little disappointing, but it carries more emotional weight than fans realize.

Dragon Ball pulled a rushed ending about themes and better than chainsaw part 2

Dragon Ball - Final Chapter

Although Dragon Ball finished his last battle while A man with a chainsaw no, both manga end quite abruptly. It's easy to take for granted these days, but the passage of time was a major part Dragon Ballstorytelling, so the big time jump after the Buu Saga wasn't necessarily a sign that the series was coming to an end. Dragon Ball it also seemingly sets up the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai as a new story arc, not a direct ending to the story.

Goku's departure with Uub is sudden and feels rushed, but it's thematically perfect ending Dragon Ball. Goku passes the torch to the next generation but stays true to himself as his true motive is to raise Ubu into someone strong enough to rival him – to bond Dragon BallThe central theme is that there will always be someone better than you and that this is a good thing. Like A man with a chainsaw, Dragon BallThe ending is controversial among fans, but that doesn't make it any less of a fitting conclusion to Goku's story.

Death Note's Ending makes up for the drop in quality of the second half

Death Note Manga End

The general fan consensus is that the other half of both Death Note and A man with a chainsaw are worse than their first halves. While Near & Mello appear Death Note is definitely worse than A man with a chainsaw Part 2, it's hard to argue that Death Note manga doesn't stick its landing better than A man with a chainsaw. After successfully outmaneuvering the Japanese Task Force time and time again, Light finally gets what he deserves.

Working with Melle, Near manages to outwit Light. Light's mental breakdown when Matsuda shoots him to death is downright cathartic. Light collapsing and crawling in death is the perfect climax Death Notea story that shows Kira is no better than the criminals (and occasionally innocents) he would kill to create his perfect world. It's an abrupt ending that robs the main character of a clear win, but a perfect conclusion that wraps up Light's arc and Death Note's themes flawlessly.

Neon Genesis Evagelion's Manga Ending is an excellent adaptation of End of Evangelion

Neon Genesis Evangelion Final Manga

funny enough Neon Genesis Evangelion the manga actually started publishing months before the anime even aired, but didn't end until 2016 when it was The end of Evangelion. The Evangelion the manga has some minor differences from the anime – mainly stemming from Shinji having more of a backbone in the manga – but the story follows all the same beats (albeit with a slightly different ending exclusively for the manga).

Like A man with a chainsaw, Neon Genesis Evangelion the manga cuts its legs off its main story at the last minute and goes into a chaotic finale that focuses mainly on the main character's development and the central themes of the story. Neon Genesis EvangelionThe ending is a masterpiece in all of its major mediums (anime, film, and manga), but the manga's ending deserves credit for giving Shinji arguably his happiest ending while still fairly portraying the main themes of the series.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean's reboot ends better than a chainsaw

Stone Ocean Manga Ending

A man with a chainsawThe ending honestly has a lot in common with the finale of the Joestar saga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean. Both series end with a reset of the timeline, giving the protagonists another – better – shot at life. The difference is that Stone ocean honestly holds its landing much better than A man with a chainsaw.

Stone ocean he systematically kills almost his entire cast, leaving only Emporio to fend off Pucci while the universe resets. The series ends with Emporia meeting Irene (formerly Jolyne) and being reunited with friends who no longer recognize him. It's a beautiful, bittersweet ending very much in vogue A man with a chainsaw Part 2, however, carries much more emotional weight thanks to Hirohiko Araki's masterful approach to the reset.

The ending of chainsaw man part 1 was literally perfect

Chainsaw Man part 1 End

A man with a chainsaw Part 1 truly has one of the best manga endings ever. Even if part 2 never existed, manga and anime fans would still be talking about how flawless and great A man with a chainsawThe first 97 chapters are. After having Makima under his thumb for the entire series, Denji ends up killing her and eating every bit of her body to make sure she can never come back. He then takes a new Control Devil, Nayuta, under his wing.

A man with a chainsaw Part 2 shows that Denji was never truly happy and ultimately wasn't responsible enough to take care of Nayuta, but the end of Part 1 promises real growth and character development on Denji's part, while bringing virtually every main character arc and storyline to a close. in many ways A man with a chainsawLink 's could have been better if the manga actually ended with part 1.
