Chainsaw Men’s Denji is one of the most intriguing and unique shonen protagonists in recent years. Denji is unlike any other hero because he is not an ordinary person: he is half-man, half-devil. Thanks to Pochita, his beloved devil dog, he gained chainsaw-related abilities. These new abilities resulted in a cord appearing on his chest that, by pulling it, he can unlock his skills at any time.
u/AffectionateWay721 portrayed a remarkable protagonist in his menacing devil form.

In appearance, they are dressed in the same clothes that Denji usually wears every day, but other details are noticeably different and unique to his devilish side.
