Honestly, this volume is amazing just to build up to that final panel alone. Incredible use of diverting expectations and surprising the reader. I wish there was more context to be had and more talking between Denji and Asa. I know that they don't talk and we can't really get in depth stuff from them, thats the whole point, but it still would be such a benefit considering most people talking about this stuff seem really confused at this point. I'm kinda just along from the ride as well, but I do also enjoy the desperate vibes going on. We gotta keep on living and all that jazz. Even if we think that things are still going to be fucked, as Chainsaw Man says in this chapter, we still have "hope."
