Chainsaw Man's Pochita Gets Pumpkin Carved Tribute for Halloween

By Evan Valentine

The Chainsaw Man anime adaptation has hit the ground floor running, with countless new viewers experiencing the bloody and tragic world of Denji, the Shonen protagonist who wants a simple life while having chainsaws burst out of his face. To get into the spooky season spirit, one Denji fan has recreated Pochita using a Jack O'Lantern to go viral and pay some serious homage to the story that arrived thanks to the creative mind of mangaka Tatsuki Fujimoto.     

Pochita and Denji met following the Chainsaw Devil receiving a mysterious injury that had it clinging to life, with the young human offering his blood to help in saving the supernatural canine's life. With the two becoming best friends, the dynamic duo spent their years living in squalor while simultaneously attempting to collect enough money to live by hunting devils. While Pochita might be an adorable devil on its own, he can be used as a chainsaw himself and his fusion with Denji has resulted in the Chainsaw Man's creation. With Denji running into Makima and being granted a new lease on life, Chainsaw Man might be in the running for the best new anime series of 2022.

Pochita O' Lantern

Twitter User Ed Pan Art shared this adorable new take on Pochita, transforming a pumpkin into a "Devil O' Lantern" to help in celebrating Chainsaw Man as the first season continues thanks to the animators at Studio MAPPA:

Unfortunately, Pochita won't be seen much following Chainsaw Man's first episode, with the devil now functioning as Denji's heart following the Yakuza's betrayal thanks to the Zombie Devil. While Pochita might not have a physical form as he once did, he remains Denji's heart and is seeking to learn more about his best friend's dreams as the young man is no longer under the control of the Yakuza. With Denji now joined by the likes of Power and Aki, his devil-hunting career has jumped to the next level.
