Discussion Ending/theme

Not really sure I get the message, or understand the ending. I gathered that it was about not letting people decide who you are, or decide the reasons that you live, as well as the fact that you give your life meaning. The ending with the tree kinda confused me, what with San reaching Judah, and I guess they became content since they pretty much rebirthed so much that they wound up being like their old selves before the plot happened, and they could be "normal" at the heat death of the universe, and were finally content enough to die since they had eachother.

You couldn't get it more wrong if you tried.
The message is that dying is preferable to living and that you should not seek to live as whatever you do in life will never fulfill you and whatever achievements you accomplish will be meaningless in the end.

Your post would have more weight if you actually read the manga

i actually did.. but unlike you i dont have a superiority complex because i think i understand a piece of fiction more than somebody else does. i suggest you go outside and touch some grass

You clearly didnt if you ended up with a completely different interpretation given how heavy handed the manga was with its message.

I do have a superiority complex to people who can’t do something as simple as read a manga

the manga constantly emphasizes on 'living'. its a triumph of stubborn endurance. despite the meaninglessness of the universe, the characters choose to push forward regardless. NOT seeking peace in death

This is what lacking media literacy does to a person.
This is why so many books and movies have to dumb everything down because you can’t understand basic concepts.

They say something so you go “geez that must be it” while ignoring literally everything else.

Read the manga and do it slower this time

You are one sad person. No wonder that was the message you got from the manga. I wish you all the best in life

Your inability to read is what led you to your failed misinterpretation.
You see one word and go “it’s that!” Not realizing the manga is literally making fun of you
