Cool to see the ideas like importance of movies or cult-like religious movements that Fujimoto later refines in Goodbye Eri and Chainsaw Man. But while it has the signature chaotic nature of Fujimoto's works, Fire Punch lacks cohesion and sometimes feels too random, with some plots and themes abandoned hastily to get to the newest shocking thing.

Hmmmm... not sure about this one. Feels like Fujimoto maybe went a little too over the top with the darkness. Kind of like The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Definitely check the CWs if you're gonna read this.
