Dragon Head Chapter 89 Discussion *spoilers beware*

It was a nice journey, but with a inconclusive ending.

And, sadly, it wasn't one of those good inconclusive endings...

OMG! That was one of the worst endings ever...

The ending is philosophical, it could be the last words of our 2 main leads or the start of their lives in the new world, Ako appreciated that she wasn't alone and had Teru at least in the end.



All in all, it's an open-ending if you are optimistic but realistically, I think those were their last days.

Of course Mochizuki did an "open ending". Although I think he implies that they'll die. How the hell are they supposed to survive here? No more helicopters.



Overall, I wish the author did some more unique things with the manga, less walking around ruins, etc. But it's a pretty good disaster manga. And of course foreign soldiers (probably the US) and the nukes.

So...I guess we won't be seeing a sequel or anime ever, huh?



RIP Iwada, you were a true bro.

the ending is quite open, nothing much explained about the cause of the castatrophe



we dont even know they will survive or die, but at least they were together at the end...

While I can't call this a great ending, or an expected one, in retrospect I think it is a, let's say "correct" ending. It doesn't explain everything about everything, it lets you wonder, it lets you think and figure it out for yourself.

the main theme was about people's fear and how they dealt with it when the world fell apart, and to that it did a good job until the very end.





I fully agree with this. The manga focused on the chaos, fear, psychological nature of such early-apocalyptic scenarios and left us as hopeless as the characters themselves. The sad truth is that no answer is exactly the answer the manga seems to try and represent, since it is from the perspective of the victims on the inside.



Could Japan be the only place where this happened? Could this have been caused by someone, or something? It doesn't matter. The only truth left in this world is ash and fear, and maybe there is no reason or need from even the characters themselves to look for more answers as the reality of the end is, in a way, a revelation.



You could say that the ones who figured out the truth were the ones who surrendered themselves to the fear first.
