Quick Scoop: The ending of Chainsaw Man depends on which ending you mean: the manga’s recent finale ends with a bittersweet reset-like conclusion centered on Pochita/Denji, while the Reze Arc movie ends with Reze being defeated, briefly spared, and then killed off-screen by Makima’s side of the conflict.

Manga ending

The most recent manga ending that surfaced in March 2026 is described as a quiet, emotional close after 8 years and 232 chapters.

Reports say Pochita makes a sacrifice that resets the timeline or gives Denji another chance, with Denji and Asa’s tragic path changed and the story landing on a hopeful-but-bitter note.

Another summary describes the final scene as Denji and Power walking off to get food together, suggesting a calm ending after the chaos.

Reze Arc ending

In the Reze Arc storyline, Denji defeats Reze in a brutal fight, drags her into the sea, and chooses to spare her at first.

Reze later returns, but Makima and the Angel Devil ambush her, and Reze is killed before she can transform again.

In plain terms

So, the manga’s ending is about sacrifice, memory, and a possible reset, while the Reze storyline ends with Denji’s brief mercy followed by a tragic kill.

If you meant the anime so far, its “ending” is mostly the Reze Arc fallout, not the full manga finale.
