Is Pochita the Strongest Devil in Chainsaw Man?
We would never have expected that Denji’s cute little canine friend would ever be strong enough to scare all the devils. But apparently the tiny form of Pochita is a ruse and he is a gruesome four-limbed chainsaw devil who is feared by all.
But what exactly makes him strong is to make all the monsters quiver in fear. Let’s find out!
Chainsaw Devil, who we all know as Pochita, is the strongest devil in the Chainsaw Man, after the Primordial devils. He is a devil that is feared by all other devils. He can wipe out the existence of the devils and prevent their reincarnation cycle.
All of Pochita’s Abilities Listed!
1. Devil Erasure
Devil Erasure is the ability of Pochita that makes all the other devils tremble in fear. He has the ability to consume the devil’s name and wipe them out from the memories of everybody they have ever encountered.
Chainsaw Man also prevents the reincarnation of the devils he has wiped out. This made Pochita a scary creature and they gave him the title “Devil of Devils”.
2. Chainsaw Appendages
Pochita is an embodiment of the fear of chainsaws. He has a saw in place of his head and four limbs. These saws work as actual chainsaws and tear through people.
Chainsaw Man can also disconnect the saws and entangle the prey to pull them closer. This is especially useful when there are multiple opponents to take care of.
3. Amazing Speed
Chainsaw Devil is known for his amazing speed. When he was fighting against Makima, he effortlessly tore through them without wasting a single movement.
The victims cannot even react to his speed. It almost looks like teleportation.
4. Tremendous Strength
Pochita mentions that he was so powerful that it hindered his ability to have a normal social life. He couldn’t hug people nor could he shake their hands, as these mere gestures could kill them.
Even small movements of his arms could kill the people surrounding him. He can effortlessly destroy buildings and kill multiple people.
5. Healing Power
In his original form, Pochita had extreme regenerative ability. He was able to completely regenerate himself just from the heart without needing any additional blood.
This ability is also exhibited when Denji removed his heart and allowed Pochita to completely regenerate and mimic Denji to fool Makima.
Will Power Return in Chainsaw Man?
Does this great devil even have a weakness?
The only weakness of Chainsaw Devil would be the fact that he feeds off the fear instilled in people. Meaning if people were to no longer fear Chainsaws his powers would be nullified.
Another factor to consider would be the emotional aspect, as we know Pochita cares deeply for Denji and any threat to Denji can potentially cause Pochita to not think rationally.
Chainsaw Man vs. Gun Devil vs. Control Devil: Who’s stronger?
Primordial Devils, Stronger Than The Most Feared Devil!
Primordial or Primal Devils are the devils who embody the fears that are naturally found in the human psyche.
To explain further these fears are innate and not acquired after birth. We are hard-wired to be scared of these things, for example, fear of falling.
