The Chainsaw Man Ending is This Generation’s Neon Genesis Evangelion

Similar to the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Chainsaw Man shifts focus away from the plot to deeply examine Denji’s character and the manga’s core ideas, revealing the author, Tatsuki Fujimoto’s, thoughts about his work. Both endings go beyond the story itself, feeling like a direct conversation between the author and the reader. While not everyone will enjoy Chainsaw Man’s conclusion, those who do will recognize how it captures a similar experience to watching the final episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion – Episodes 25 and 26 – for a modern audience.
