The ending of the popular shonen series, Chainsaw Man, has been compared to the original TV ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which saw fans split over whether it was good or bad. The ending of chapter 232 of the series ended with a scene where Denji and Pochita were reunited, which was seen as a good-and-bad goodbye. The chapter also included a series of events that followed, imagining a world without ChainsawMan absent from the series. The final chapter saw the return of fan-favorite character Power, who found Denji after the battle with the Zombie Devil and entered a contract with Denji. The series ended on a wholesome ending with Denjid meeting with Denjin and his love interest, Asa Mitaka.
