challenging dark emotional medium-paced

This is a dystopian fantasy world. All sorts of f*ckery is happening here. Be warned that all triggers imaginable should be expected. Content warnings for everything under the sun. Everything is implied but not really shown. I don't even know what to think but it is absolutely wild.

Very disturbing, I prefer chainsaw man. But it was a striking and captivating story, maybe I will catch up another day.

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.
