chusvs's review against another edition

Es una saga que deja muchos cabos sueltos, muchas narrativas que podrían haber seguido y no lo han hecho, dudas que ojalá se hubieran resuelto y acaba con un vacío existencial muy poco recomendable para las 2 de la madrugada (hora en la cual me acabé este último tomo en un binge reading de una semana aprox); pero eso ya es responsabilidad mía.
A Chainsaw man le pasa algo parecido, pero esos momentos inconexos e incoherentes, esas dudas sin resolver se hacen mucho menores (también a expensas de que salga una secuela, a ver qué nos cuenta). La verdad es que tengo muchas ganas de que Fujimoto siga creando; me flipa su estilo de dibujo, su narración visual (y más en su última obra) y creo que los errores que ha ido teniendo los está resolviendo de obra en obra, más relacionado, a primera vista, a una visión global de la coherencia del guion y de las ramificaciones que crea.
Pero tronks, encima es super joven, tiene mucho camino por delante y ahí estamos pa leerle.

I read this series to get a better idea of Fuji’s work while reading Chainsaw Man. I think that’s shaped my perspective while reading this. The series is a lot more experimental. CSM has a lot more polish, but that doesn’t mean this is bad, some of the rawness of this series feels almost more human and impactful. The themes of humanity’s self-destruction and the love of family are similar to themes in Fuji’s later works but they’re expressed here with less subtlety and I appreciate that a bit. For a magic apocalyptic story having very human elements grounds it very well.

A lot of time skips in the final installment of the series.
All throughout, Agni and Luna lives on through every millennia, with Luna maintaining her position as the 'tree' and protecting Agni. In the end, they have found their way into each other again.
Overall, I liked the story. It was fairly easy to read, and the art in every panel is always well done. Fujimoto really knows how to create such interesting characters. You'll find yourself liking them even more in every chapter. Each volume definitely keeps you on your toes and makes you want to immediately reach for the next one.

Agni was immediately attacked by San after he arrives to the village, claiming that he wasn't the Agni-sama that he knew. He kills San in the process, touching his leg and engulfing him in flames. Luna extinguishes the fire on Agni's body and touching his face, made him reborn and forget all his memories. Luna asks Neneto to take care of him in exchange for her becoming the tree that saves humanity. For the time being, Neneto takes care of Agni, naming him San.All throughout, Agni and Luna lives on through every millennia, with Luna maintaining her position as the 'tree' and protecting Agni.

I have a love hate relationship with the last chapter.
Also, the camera! It survived being lost in the woods for Gods knows how long and then combined times kips of 90 years. What is this camera made of? Recycled Nokia phones?
Anti-climatic ending but what else could be expected.

Fire Punch is like nothing else. It's sad and depressing and violent and dark but also deeply experimental and thoughtful and ends almost beautifully. There's plenty of stuff I've read or watched that felt like the creator splashing what they were thinking on the page/screen as it goes but nothing so cohesive as this. It's imperfect but it feels like it's entirely intentional and all coming from one kind of twisted but very singular mind.
The ending isn't what I expected at all, but still feels like it's what it was always heading towards somehow. I'll be thinking about it for a long while.
