How Pochita Saves Denji
Pochita's powers appear after his merger with the socially awkward demon hunter Denji. His powers are themed around chainsaws, with Denji using them to summon chainsaws from both of Denji's arms that are sharper, stronger, and more effective than standard chainsaws. Denji's head is also transformed into a chainsaw-styled head, with an extended jaw of large, sharp metal teeth, all the while enhancing Denji's strength and speed to super-human proportions. This form is a hybrid between Denji's human body and Pochita's true, fully realized demon form.
