Chainsaw Man doesn’t hold back when it comes to dishing out blood and gory trucks to anime fans, with Denji finding his role as a chainsaw fiend, allowing him to shoot chainsaw blades out of his arms, legs and face. Thanks to Denji’s relationship with his loyal canine friend Pochita, he was able to gain the immense devilish powers now at his disposal, with one cosplayer seizing the opportunity to bring to life the most adorable addition to Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Shonen franchise.
Ending up on Denji’s doorstep after suffering a near-fatal injury, Pochita forms a bond with the Shonen protagonist, whose duo battled demons to make sure they survived their brutal world. As the pair could only afford to eat a small amount of bread in an attempt to pay off the debt the Yakuza held over their heads, Denji and Pochita were eventually betrayed by gangsters who made a deal with the Zombie Devil. With Denji torn apart and left for dead in a dumpster, Pochita bonded with his human companion, and the Chainsaw Man was born. While Pochita may not recur in his past form in future episodes of Chainsaw Man, he remains close to Denji’s tough, literally.
Instagram Cosplayer Pisc3svenus shared this adorable re-imagining of the devil responsible for giving Denji his powers, as Pochita became a fan-favorite anime character in record time after debuting in the first episode of Studio MAPPA’s Chainsaw Man anime adaptation:
The first two episodes of Chainsaw Man excelled in giving anime fans a detailed look at Denji and his world, with the first season of the anime adaptation set to release a total of twelve episodes. Expect plenty more bloody battles before the first batch of episodes come to a close, with Pochita giving Denji the power he needs to cut through the bands of devils in his path. With the likes of Makima, Aki, and Power joining the Shonen hero on his unique quest, Pochita will loom large whenever chainsaw blades pierce his skin.
