“I’ve always… loved listening to you talk about your dreams. This is a contract. I’ll give you my heart. In exchange… show me your dreams.“
Pochita (ใใใฟ?) is the titular overarching protagonist of the Chainsaw Man manga and anime series. He is the Chainsaw Devil (ใใงใณใฝใผใฎๆช้ญ Chensล no Akuma?) who embodies the fear of chainsaws. He was the original Chainsaw Man (ใใงใณใฝใผใใณ Chensล Man?) prior to becoming Denji‘s heart.
Appearance
Devil Form
Near-death State
After disappearing from his battle with the Four Horsemen and Weapon Devils, Pochita is reduced to a โnear-death stateโ. In this state, he appears to be a small orange canine-like Devil with a chainsaw-like appendage protruding from the center of his head. Handles emerge from his body allowing him to be wielded like a chainsaw, and his short tail is in the shape of a chainsaw’s pull cord.[1]
Pochita as Denji’s heart
Normal
Pochita’s true Devil form is of a large, humanoid Devil with four arms and a chainsaw protruding from each, with another chainsaw coming from the front of his head, similar to Denji‘s Hybrid form. He towers over regular-sized humans and possesses dark armored plates or scales that cover his entire body. An intestine still connected to his stomach is wrapped around his neck, resembling a scarf or a collar. It can be used to carry people like Kobeni Higashiyama or impale opponents with brute force.[2][3]
Hybrid Form
After making a contract with Denji, Pochita assimilates himself with him, fusing with his heart and becoming part of Denji’s anatomy, thus creating a hybrid. This allows Denji to become Chainsaw Man by pulling the chainsaw cord in his chest.
In this state, Pochita is smaller, has lost the chainsaw on his head, all his appendages and both handles. Pochita also has blood vessels connected to Denji. Pochita however still retains his trademark cute canine face. Denji’s chainsaw cord is also directly connected to the top of Pochita’s head.
When preparing to fight Makima, Denji removed Pochita from his body. Pochita then took on a Hybrid form similar to Denji’s to fool Makima, with the only difference being that his arms were covered in the armored plates or scales he has in his true Devil form.[4]
Pochita, a Devil who initially communicated like a dog, gained telepathic abilities with Denji after merging with him. He deeply cared for Denji, even sacrificing his heart so Denji could achieve his dreams. Though erratic in his true form, Pochita honored Denjiโs wishes and tried to help both humans and devils in need, ultimately sacrificing himself to protect others. Despite being a Devil, he respected humanity, consuming dangerous devils to prevent harm. When disguised as Denji, he chose to kill Makima after realizing her ideals conflicted with his values.
Abilities
The Chainsaw Devil, feared by all Devils and rivaling even the Primordial Devils, is an immensely powerful entity able to withstand countless attacks and cause international turmoil over the desire for his heart. Makima, one of the Four Horsemen, saw herself as inferior and relied on public support to weaken him.
Abilities and Powers:
- Devil Powers: Chainsaw Devil possesses standard Devil abilities, including making contracts, healing by consuming blood, and reviving in Hell after death. Despite dying repeatedly, he relentlessly returns to kill other Devils.
- Contract with Denji: Initially, Pochita formed a contract with Denji, granting him power in exchange for blood. Later, after Denji’s fatal injury, Pochita became his heart so Denji could live a “normal life.”
Physical Prowess:
- Speed: The Chainsaw Devil is incredibly fast, overwhelming opponents in an instant, even dismembering the Hell Devil before it could react.
- Durability: He survives extreme physical damage, from concussive blasts to atmospheric re-entry, with minimal impact.
- Strength: His immense strength makes basic social interactions difficult, accidentally harming others due to his power. He can destroy buildings and decapitate enemies with a single strike.
- Healing: He can regenerate completely from just his heart, even under extreme damage.
Unique Devil Abilities:
- Devil Erasure: By consuming Devils, he erases their “name” and existence, removing concepts like nuclear weapons or historical events from public memory. This erasure can be partial, as with the War Devil, whose partial consumption halted new wars.
- Chainsaw Appendages: Chainsaw Devilโs chainsaw appendage extends from his head and limbs, acting as functional chainsaws.
- Chain Entanglement: He can detach his chains to capture and pull in opponents.
- Body Assimilation: He can fuse with humans, as with Denji, becoming his heart in exchange for Denjiโs normal life.
Devil Transformation: If Denjiโs contract breaks, Pochita can take over and revert to his true Devil form, recalling Denjiโs dreams. Though he was defeated by Makima, Power later restored their contract.
