Chainsaw Man: Pochita Papercraft by Hotar

8 Nov, 2022

Pochita, who is Denji's partner, is the key to the Chainsaw Man story. He is a chainsaw demon who takes the form of a dog.

What are some interesting facts about this one-saw demon figure? Check out the discussion below!

1. Nicknamed Hero of Hell

In his heyday, Pochita turned out to be a legendary Chainsaw Devil figure.

He is known for his reputation of slaying all the demons in front of him. Pochita is so strong, the Four Horsemen and Weapon Devils even have to intervene to fight her.

Because of his reputation, Pochita has been dubbed the most feared demon by the devil and the Hero of Hell.

2. Changed to his weakest form due to the fight with the Four Horsemen and Weapon Devil

There is a certain reason why the once-feared Pochita ended up becoming the form we know today.

While fighting against the Four Horsemen and Weapon Devils, Pochita is seriously injured and unwittingly ends up in the human world. His form also changed into a very weak dog.

If there was no Denji who gave him the blood, maybe this one demon would die.

3. Denji's a loyal partner with a harmless contract

As is known, usually the devil always demands a contract with a price that is quite large to be redeemed by humans.

One example is Himeno's Ghost Devil and Aki's Fox Devil who both ask for limbs as payment or the Curse Devil that sucks Aki's life every time it is used.

Pochita is the exact opposite. Although his strength is very large, he does not demand strange things from Denji.

Instead, he volunteered himself to be the heart by asking Denji to continue to show his dreams.

4. Can erase the existence of demons

There is one reason why Pochita is so feared by demons that he is nicknamed the Hero of Hell.

In addition to chainsaw abilities and high-level regeneration, Pochita has a unique ability that scares demons, namely erasing existence.

So, every demon that Pochita eats will never again be able to be reincarnated and also forgotten by mankind. This is what explains why there are some unheard-of tragic things in the world of Chainsaw Man.

The only one who still remembers Pochita's demons is Makima, who incidentally is a Four Horsemen.

5. Weak against the popularity

As Makima explained, the more feared a demon's name bears, the stronger that figure will become.

The same is true for the opposite, if the name of the devil is loved and admired, he is even weaker.

Makima himself had taken advantage of this by making the name Chainsaw Man popular so that Denji had weakened in their peak fight.

6. The idol figure that Makima loves

Even though the demons are afraid some even admire Pochita.

One of them is Makima who incidentally is part of the Four Horsemen. Because she is obsessed with Pochita, the girl justifies any means, including using Denji to live with the chainsaw demon.

This is indeed ironic considering that the human Denji is considered a pet dog while the dog-shaped Pochita is considered an ideal partner for Makima.

7. The dream is simple, just wants to be hugged

Just like Denji, Pochita's dream is also fairly simple.

He just wants to get a warm hug from the person he loves. Unfortunately, while acting as a Hero of Hell, Pochita never got what she wanted.

His dream came true when Pochita was at the lowest point in her life when she often hugged Denji while sleeping.

8. Voiced by Shiori Izawa

The character Pochita is voiced by Shiori Izawa.

Before voicing Pochita, Shiori had voiced several characters from other popular series such as Argo and Pina from Sword Art Online, Mary Hughes from Fairy Tail, and Kanata Ubuyashiki from Demon Slayer.

Those are interesting facts about Pochita, the cute chainsaw demon feared by the demons.
