March 25, 2026 SPOILER ALERT The Era of Chainsaw Man is Over!! (Maybe???) - BakaBites EP 217
!!!SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE CHAINSAW MAN MANGA!!!

The sun has finally set on one of the most chaotically beautiful manga series of all time. Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man has finally concluded after more than seven series of serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump. And while anime-only fans are still reeling over what happened in the Reze movie, the rest of us manga readers are having to grapple with our emotions as Denji enters his new era in Chapter 232 of the series. With much to unpack and plenty to rant about, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage spend this episode diving deep, deep, DEEP into the finale of the Chainsaw Man manga and dissecting the series as a whole, theorizing what, if anything, might be in store next for our cast of misfit devil-hunting characters.

We here at Baka&Company are proud to announce our lineups for the next Super Bowl halftime performance!

The bakabois detail their ideal lineups to perform at the next halftime show, along with their favorite Japanese artists to headline the big show as well.
