The Fans Have Spoken: Chainsaw Man Part 2 Has Officially Fallen Off

by

A major ongoing discussion about Chainsaw Man centers on whether the second part of the story is any good. People have strong opinions on both sides, and these opinions range from honest assessments to clearly biased ones. It’s likely this debate will continue even after the manga finishes.

Reactions to the second part of Chainsaw Man are very mixed. However, Shueisha has now shared some official data about how popular it is – as much as they typically do. While even this data isn’t perfectly objective, it probably doesn’t show part 2 doing as well as its fans would like.

Chainsaw Man’s Popularity Poll Proves Part 2 Is Failing

The official results of the third popularity poll for Chainsaw Man are in. As expected, popular characters like Denji, Makima, and Reze all ranked high. However, it was surprising to see Asa as the only character from the second part of the series make it into the top 10, landing at number ten. Overall, only four characters from part 2—Asa, Nayuta, Yoru, and Li’l D—ranked within the top 20.

I’ve been following Chainsaw Man part 2 for a while now, and it’s actually been going on longer than the first part. It’s interesting because a lot of the characters we loved from part 1 haven’t even been mentioned. If, after all this time and development, the new characters in part 2 still don’t connect with fans the way the first group did, I think it would be a pretty clear sign that this part isn’t as strong.

The recent popularity poll was probably heavily influenced by how well the Chainsaw Man movie did. Reze won by a large margin, receiving more than double the votes of Makima. However, the significant difference in votes between characters goes beyond just recent interest, suggesting other factors are at play.

Why Chainsaw Man Part 2 Isn’t Working For Fans

Many fans feel that Chainsaw Man part 2 hasn’t lived up to expectations, and it’s easy to understand why. Although there are still some exciting and touching scenes, the story has been held back by a slow pace, questionable choices, and characters that some viewers haven’t connected with. Overall, after several years, part 2 seems to have more weak moments than strong ones.

The new characters introduced in the second part of the story are the most affected by this issue. Besides Asa and Yoru, most of them don’t get much development or play a significant role, leading many fans to wish for the return of the original characters. This is especially frustrating when characters like Kishibe and Reze are suddenly written out without a clear explanation.

While some criticisms of Chainsaw Man part 2 seem excessive – it actually excels in several areas compared to part 1 – it’s definitely not the continuation fans expected. The recent popularity poll confirms that part 2 has significant issues that weren’t present in the first part.
