Denji’s Past and Transformation into a Devil Hunter

When the show first started, we saw an extremely poor Denji who was working to pay off his father’s debt. In the process of paying off the debt, he turned into a devil hunter and sold his kidney and one eye to cover his father’s duties. Then, one day, we witness him being given over by his boss to a zombie devil, who then kills him. At that time, Pochita, which means Chainsaw Devil, replaces his heart with Denji. And Denji comes back to life and transforms into a hybrid devil after doing this to Pochita.

Denji’s Abilities and Powers

His human abilities and powers have been substantially enhanced after fusing with Pochita, transforming him into a superhuman. For example, he possesses superhuman strength, endurance, speed, and reflexes. Denji has the ability to change into Chainsawman by changing both his head and each of his hands into a chainsaw. In the manga, we also saw that he was able to create flexible chainsaws with his hands, enabling him to fight from a distance. He can also remove chainsaws from his legs.

With these skills, he may destroy every opponent in the fight. You will later see his more potent change into the devil. Essentially, Pochita has complete control over Denji’s body during this evolution, transforming him into a chainsaw devil.

Denji’s Transformation into Chainsaw Devil

He then changes into a chainsaw devil and gains four hands, each of which is equipped with a chainsaw. And all of his powers get better with the help of these chainsaws. This form can also be referred to as the strongest in the entire Chainsaw Man series. Furthermore, as everyone is aware, Denji possesses the power to consume blood, and he has achieved immortality thanks to this ability. Denji can be killed as many times as you choose with this power, but if he drinks the blood of any human or devil, he will be able to heal and regenerate. Additionally, manga readers are aware that Denji has a contract with two devils, something that anime viewers are unaware of.

First, he has a deal in his hybrid form with Chainsaw Devil, and he has another contract with Blood Devil, who is none other than Power. And as Denji was close to death, he made a contract with her, and Power offered him her blood to help Denji survive. Power informed him that Denji would need to locate the Blood Devil in his reincarnation.

Denji’s Weakness and Unique Skill

There is just one weakness that Denji has, and that is anemia. It’s also known as a low blood count. This weakness basically means that Denji cannot transform into his chainsaw man form if he is fighting his opponent and has lost a significant amount of blood during the fight. Let’s now discuss Denji’s unique skill and the reasons for it. It’s a little difficult to understand, so pay close attention. In the Chainsaw Man universe, all devils are born in hell, go to Earth following their death there, and die there as well. These devils again go back to hell.

Why Every Devil wants to kill Denji

Once they die, none of the devils remember anything from their previous lives. That’s not quite the case with Chainsaw Man Devil, though. If Chainsaw Man Devil kills any devil, then that devil will not go to hell. Which means that his existence will be erased from this universe. which is a very dangerous ability. That’s the reason why the devils all wish for his death. Because its manga is still in progress, we are unaware of the further special abilities that Chainsaw Man Devil will possess.
