Denji

Personality:   Denji (デンジ?) is the titular protagonist of the Chainsaw Man manga and anime series. He is the main protagonist of the Public Safety Saga and the deuteragonist of the Academy Saga. As a young boy, he inherits his father's debts from the Yakuza. After meeting Pochita, he becomes a Devil Hunter for the Yakuza in an attempt to clear his debt. Once the Yakuza, under the control of a Devil, betrays him, he dies and Pochita becomes his heart. He is then revived and can become the Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン Chensō Man?) by pulling a cord on his chest. After meeting Makima, he became a Public Safety Devil Hunter as a member of Tokyo Special Division 4. Appearances: Human Form (Pre-Fusion) - Denji is a teenage boy with scruffy blond hair. He has yellow-brown eyes and bags underneath, resulting in a dazed and tired expression. His teeth are noticeably sharp and angular. Due to malnutrition in his childhood, he has a scrawny build with protruding ribs, and due to the stress of what he did for a living, he’s often mistaken for being older than he actually is. Before becoming a Hybrid, Denji was missing his right eye and several other non-essential organs, including a testicle and a kidney.[1] He covered his missing eye with an eyepatch. He also wears a loose white tank top, a green jacket and black pants during this time. Human Form (Post-Fusion) - After Denji forms a contract with Pochita, his heart is fused with Pochita, a chainsaw cord forms in the middle of his sternum and he regains his lost organs along with having a muscular build. He spent much of his time wearing the standard Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform, consisting of a white shirt, tie, and slacks. He wore the uniform carelessly, his shirt wrinkled and sleeves rolled up. After resigning from a Public Safety Devil Hunter, Denji now wears Fourth East High School's uniform, a black buttoned long-sleeved shirt (which he mainly wears unbuttoned) and black pants. Hybrid Form - If his chainsaw cord is pulled while he has enough blood for the transformation, then his head will morph into a demonic, mechanical shape with long, jagged fangs and a chainsaw handle on the back. Large chainsaws will emerge from his forehead, arms and legs, he is able to retract and extract any of them at will. If Denji's chainsaw cord is pulled while he does not have enough blood, then a chainsaw blade will partially emerge from his face. Devil Form - After losing his will to live and surrendering himself to Makima, Pochita takes control of Denji's body and reveals the true Chainsaw Devil, completely losing his human consciousness and letting Pochita take over. Prior to the transformation, his intestines emerge from his stomach and wrap around his neck, resembling a scarf or a collar. Once transformed, his body is black, looking to be covered with either armored plates or scales. He gains spikes on his shoulders and the back of his head, and the handle on the back of his head disappears. He becomes much larger and bulkier, towering over the average human. His arms split at the elbows, each with two forearms equipped with their own Chainsaw Blades. Personality: Denji is both brash and naïve as a result of being unable to have a formal education and socialize due to living in severe poverty. His personality comes off as rude and harsh in an almost childish way. However, he has a good sense of empathy towards other people, willing to save those in danger as much as he could, showing he is a kind-hearted person despite his shortcomings. While Denji doesn't necessarily possess the highest intelligence, he is capable of clever ideas to take down Devils, such as lighting himself on fire and using the light emitted to weaken Santa Claus enough to kill her. He may be troublesome because of his rudeness in a childish way, but won't force anything unwanted. After becoming a Public Safety Devil Hunter and fulfilling his basic needs, Denji is unsure of what he wants in life. Many of Denji's said basic needs were fueled by sexual desire with women, going so far as to accept dangerous missions in exchange for some form of sexual gratification with women. One such case was feeling up Power in exchange for rescuing her cat, however, he later realized and laments that the satisfaction from such intimate acts is fleeting. Denji also harbors a fear that his seeming lack of empathy and attachment after his transformation is a sign that he is losing his sense of humanity. While transformed into his Hybrid form, Denji becomes extremely ruthless, aggressive, bloodthirsty and sadistic, releasing his most deranged side while facing other Devils, to the point of enjoying killing them. He also displays a twisted and sarcastic sense of humor. The first time he transformed into his Hybrid form he found it amusing that he could pay off his debt by killing all the Yakuza members who were turned into zombies due to the power of the Zombie Devil. While facing the Eternity Devil he says that "its blood tastes like rat but drinking it while watching a son of a bitch suffering and feeling terrified makes it taste as delicious as a strawberry jam", and considers himself a genius for creating a "perpetual motion machine" worthy enough of a Nobel Prize. Due to his desire to have intercourse with a woman, he generally treats women with more kindness and respect than men. He’s surprised and most of the time will overreact in disbelief, dropping on the floor, yelling “Ehh?!” Or anything else similar when a woman lets him do something lewd as this is one of his goals and he never got to be touched and respected by a woman before. He does his best to treat women with respect and never does anything without their explicit consent. When he and Asa were escaping from the large clawed tendrils, he refused Asa's instructions to steal a woman's motorcycle, calling her a thief. However, when she asks him to steal a man's motorcycle, he doesn't hesitate to kick the man off his motorcycle, telling him to beat it. He also in Part 1 told Aki that when he fights against men he usually aims to their intimate zone (their testicles) and demonstrated it when they had a fight and Denji kicked him several times in that zone. In spite of his desire to have sex, this does not allow Denji to override his better judgement. Though he was initially eager to become part of the Chainsaw Man Church to have sex with a girl, he's immediately put off when he realizes nearly all of the members of the church are teenagers. He is able to clearly see that the American ultraviolet ray weapon that diminishes the mental faculties of adults is a lie. Furthermore, once he learns that he'd be forced to marry the girl with whom he'd have sex with, he draws a line and refuses to marry a random girl. Whereas Sugo agrees with the practices of the Chainsaw Man church, Denji clearly sees the unethical behavior of the church and refuses to abide by it. When Barem arrives and suggests killing Asa Mitaka so he can be Chainsaw Man again, this is enough for Denji to leave in disgust, declaring the Chainsaw Man Church to be a crazy place. Also, Denji has started to struggle with having a normal life since he has come to like transforming and being Chainsaw Man due to the attention and popularity he receives. When Hirofumi Yoshida forced him to make a choice of having a normal life with Nayuta or being Chainsaw Man but it would mean getting Nayuta killed, Denji chose to have both of them, and while he ultimately obeys and starts a normal life without transforming, he slowly begins to feel bored and wonders if he'll be able to maintain that life with the same routine every day for the rest of his life. Devils: Pochita - Pochita was saved by Denji when in his time of need by feeding him his blood to recover from an injury, leading to them befriending one another Devil and Human alike. This allowed the debt that filled young Denji to be dealt with by becoming a young demon hunter with the help of Pochita. Later after being a Demon Hunter his whole life Denji was betrayed by the debt collector and brutally murdered by zombified humans. This death caused Pochita to become Denji's heart due to a contract making Denji a Devil-human Hybrid. Love Interests: Makima - Makima and Denji shared an asymmetrical relationship: whereas Denji was greatly infatuated with Makima and willing to go to great lengths to serve her, Makima saw Denji as nothing more than a pet and tool, taking interest in him solely for the fact that the Chainsaw Devil Pochita resided in his heart. To this end, Makima masterminded a plot to control the Chainsaw Devil by manipulating Denji, setting up circumstances that would allow Denji to experience the love, companionship, and comfort that he had craved his entire life. Friends: Aki Hayakawa - Aki and Denji initially began as distrustful teammates, as Aki strongly disliked Denji: he despised Denji for his Devil nature and his bold, crass personality. Aki would openly state to Denji that he had no qualms about killing him if he became useless. In turn, Denji reciprocated Aki's hostility. Though hostile, they would still begrudgingly cooperate with each other, as both were commanded to do so by Makima, and Aki recognized Denji's utility as a tool. Over time, however, their relationship would change: after being forced to live with each other by Makima and working together on missions, Aki and Denji slowly became close, and would eventually become best friends. In the face of tragedies and sadness, Denji and Aki comforted one another, such as when Denji gave Aki an apple after Himeno's death, or when Aki comforted Denji over their canceled trip with Makima. After becoming the Gun Fiend, during his murderous rampage and battle with Denji, Aki would end up hallucinating, perceiving everything as a snowball fight with Denji. Tragically, Aki's love for Denji proved to be the catalyst for his defeat at the hands of Denji: Aki stopped his murderous rampage after hallucinating Denji crying during the snowball fight, ceasing his deluge of snowballs (which, in truth, were bullets) because it was the first time he had ever seen Denji cry. This pause was enough to allow Denji to pierce Aki's body with his chainsaws, killing him. The death of Aki led Denji into a deep spiral of grief and depression, with Denji losing his will to live, unable to cope with the reality that he had murdered his best friend and surrogate older brother. Denji's despair would lead him to extreme decisions, such as relinquishing his free will and subjugating himself to Makima so that he could escape the painful reality that Aki was dead by his hands. Power - Beginning as partners assigned by Makima, Denji initially viewed Power as a nuisance, whilst she attempted to use him for her own gain. Power initially betrays him, bringing him as a trade-off for the Bat Devil to return her cat. After she is rescued from the Bat Devil by Denji, she apologizes and begins to warm up to him, offering him to “ fondle her chest “, as a means to apologize. Despite a rough start, their shared stupidity, apathy and hedonistic tendencies allow the two to quickly grow close, often playing games and arguing at times others would find inappropriate. Denji develops the nickname 'Powy' for her, whilst she refers to him as her 'Buddy'. Their relationship becomes comparable to that of siblings, with Denji specifically noting a lack of romantic or sexual connection between the two. Both are intensely protective of the other, as seen when Denji and Aki looked after her following the Darkness Devil attack in Hell, also protecting her physically from Aki when he was possessed by the Gun Devil. Likewise, Power agreed to take part in the hunt for the Gun Devil despite her apprehension, purely out of her desire to continue working with Denji. Power's friendship with Denji shows when she turns into the Blood Devil against Makima, and fights her and her men. When Power is about to die after saving Denji from Makima, Power forms a contract with Denji by giving him blood in return for him finding the Blood Devil again. Beam - They first met after being partnered up by Makima, though he offered himself as a volunteer due to being a big fan of the Chainsaw Man. They don't have much interaction with each other, but they seem to get along well. Denji allows Beam to follow him with the only condition of not being seen by people. Beam is very protective towards Denji and he will put his life on the line to save Denji. He followed Denji when he was having a "date" with Reze and quickly jumped to save him from the Bomb Devil and took him to the Public Safety's headquarters. While being chased by the Bomb Devil and the Typhoon Devil, Denji and Beam worked together as a team in order to defeat those Devils. Nayuta - When he first met her, Denji was reluctant to adopt Nayuta. After talking to her, he realized she was surprisingly similar to him, like with her preferred food, and took her home. The same day, Denji got visited by Pochita in his dream, who told him the Control Devil wanted to have a family where she was equal to someone else and advised Denji to give her lots of hugs. In Part 2, Denji calls Nayuta something between a friend and a little sister and is obsessed with collecting money for her education, confident that she is smart enough to go to college. He also describes her as a problem child with an extreme personality. Nayuta picked up a lot of mannerisms from Denji, such as her informal way of speaking and her laugh. She is also shown to care a lot for Denji despite calling him her property. as Nayuta senses Yoru due to her scent (like Makima did with Pochita and Denji in part 1), and altered Yoru/Asa's memories to keep Denji out of harm's way. When he was kidnapped by Yoshida his only concern was if Nayuta was safe and then threatened him saying that he would kill him if he hurts Nayuta. Later when Nayuta was released she and Denji embraced each other being genuinely happy to be reunited again. Others: Hirofumi Yoshida - Denji is aloof to Yoshida and views him as a nuisance. He forgot about Yoshida's involvement in protecting him from international assassins. When Yoshida attempted to make Denji listen to him by taking away his utensils, Denji ate his food with his bare hands, dismissing Yoshida. Yoshida finds Denji perplexing but is forced to protect him under the goals of an unknown organization. Since Yoshida knows Denji's secret identity as Chainsaw Man, Denji is more open with him than with others, openly stating his goal to "leak" his own identity to get women to fall for him, which confounds the latter. Denji let Yoshida sit on him, but only because he was being paid, and found a guy sitting on him to be uncomfortable. Yoshida also helped Denji find a girlfriend by introducing him to Asa, but not because he actually cared about Denji in any way, only for his mission to the organization. Fumiko Mifune - Upon meeting her, Denji felt depressed and told Fumiko that he wasn't in the mood to go on a date, only to be surprised by her groping him. Fumiko then asked Denji to lick a dead Devil for her amusement. Denji found her to be sketchy and first intended to tell her how he has matured and doesn't want to let others control him, only to grant her wish anyway. He thought Fumiko was cute and got somewhat excited by her proposal of them having sex, thinking to himself that a normal life may not be so bad after all while listening to her singing karaoke. Their date got interrupted by a swarm of armed men which led Denji to believe that Fumiko, who was still singing during the attack, was another enemy. Much to his surprise, she turned out to be an ally after all, a Public Safety Devil Hunter no less who got assigned to protect him by Yoshida. This caused Denji to get angry, believing that Fumiko only pretended to be interested in him as part of her job, though she reassured him that her feelings were genuine. Later, the two were shown to get along in high school. Fumiko used Denji as a human chair, much to the chagrin of Miri Sugo, who believed something like that was beneath Chainsaw Man's dignity. Denji disagreed though, saying that Fumiko's butt felt good. Abilities: Physical Prowess - Enhanced Human Condition: Due to fusing with Pochita, Denji gained superhuman abilities even when not transformed. In his human form, Denji is durable enough to survive being hit by Power with a hammer and getting squeezed by the Bat Devil, despite both individuals possessing immense strength. He is also very strong, capable of decapitating a Fiend with just one swing of his Axe. Enhanced Endurance: Due to his rough childhood, Denji has developed a high tolerance for pain and stress, being able to still function as a Devil Hunter for the Yakuza despite having multiple of his organs missing at the time. His mental fortitude has allowed him to fight for three days straight while constantly being injured[9] and remaining conscious even after having multiple parts of his body cut or blown off. Hybrid Powers: Hybrid Transformation - By pulling on the cord emerging from his chest, Denji can transform into a bloodthirsty Chainsaw Devil. Denji needs blood in order to use his abilities, so if he does not have enough of it in his body, he can not fully transform and will instead enter a pseudo-hybrid form. While Denji still has access to some of his powers in this form, they are considerably weaker and his chainsaws are shorter. If Denji runs out of blood, while already being fully transformed, his chainsaws will automatically retract themselves. While in this form Denji still doesn't posses Pochita's signature ability of Devil erasure which was proven in his fight against the Falling Devil which was eaten by him but neither weakened or erased. Augmented Strength -After entering his Hybrid form, Denji's physical strength is increased exponentially. He can break walls and kill most Devils with just one punch. On one occasion, he was able to catch a thrown car out of the air without staggering and then throw it back with an equal amount of force[ and on another occasion, he was capable of lifting a car and then throwing it with enough force to make it explode. Augmented Durability - While in his Hybrid form, Denji's physical durability is increased to inhuman levels. He can fall from great attitudes and punch Devils through walls, without receiving any injuries. He also has survived a point-blank blast from the Bat Devil that destroyed a building behind him, multiple explosions from the Bomb Hybrid, being on fire for extended periods of time and being near the Typhoon Devil's tornado, which has been shown to be strong enough to lift cars. His head and chainsaws are far more durable than the rest of his body, due to being made of metal, and being capable of deflecting bullets. Augmented Stamina - Denji was capable of fighting the Eternity Devil for approximately three days. As long as Denji continues to drink blood to recover from his injuries, he is essentially a perpetual motion machine. Chainsaw Manifestation - As part of his transformation Denji grows fully-functional chainsaws from his arms, legs, feet and head. These chainsaws are extremely effective at cutting Devils' flesh, allowing Denji to sever limbs and bifurcate his enemies. They are also very effective at cutting other materials, such as stone and concrete, however they have shown to be incapable of cutting through metal. The chainsaws in his legs and feet are not usually active, however, Denji can employ them just by willing it. Just like the rest of his body, these chainsaws are regenerated every time Denji pulls his cord and fully transforms. Chainsaw Retraction - If he needs the full use of his arms and legs to do certain tasks while in his Hybrid form, Denji's chainsaws can be retracted into his body, allowing him to perform mundane actions such as grabbing objects. While Denji can willingly retract his chainsaws, they can also be retracted automatically based on his instincts alone. Chainsaw Wall crawling - Denji is able to manifest short chainsaws under his feet, which he can use to stick onto walls and even walk on them. He used this ability once, in order to run away from a group of dolls that were created by Santa. Chain Entanglement - Denji is able to disconnect his chains from his chainsaws to use them in combat. He can wrap his chains around his opponent's body and then pull them closer to him. Denji can also wrap his chains around objects to cut them, throw them or do both. If Denji's arms get torn off but are still connected to his body, he can still use his chain like body tissue to wrap his enemies around. The chains can also be used as grapple hooks, allowing Denji to wrap them around a target and then pull his body closer to said target. Devil Transformation - After surrendering his contract with Pochita, Denji transformed into a Full Devil. In this form, Pochita displays incredible speed and strength, easily defeating multiple Hybrid Devils in a matter of seconds. Though he has been shown to have taken damage, and even been incapacitated by being sent to Hell and blasted into Space, these acts merely delayed him for a few minutes before he returned unscathed. His immense power is further highlighted in Hell, where it is implied that he defeated every Demon residing there. Makima stated that he has killed her 26 times in this form. This form seems to lack Denji's personality and awareness, though it has been shown to retain some memories and frequently acts in accordance with them. After being defeated by Makima to save Kobeni and later rescued by Power, Denji transformed back to normal and regained consciousness. Blood Consumption - Denji is able to heal completely from nearly any fatal injury, and in some instances recover from death, so long as he consumes a sufficient amount of blood. After losing his arm to Bat Devil, Denji's arm re-attached itself after he received a blood transfusion. With his fight against Santa Claus, he consumed one of her doll's blood to keep fighting while still being on fire. As a full Devil, he regenerated from just his heart after Pochita threw it from space. After noticing this method of regeneration, he is able to remove Pochita from his body and regenerate it as a separate entity which allowed him to foul Makima. Nigh-Immortality - Due to being a Hybrid, Denji is immortal and nearly unkillable. He can survive getting shot, being thrown from buildings and taking all kinds of injuries that would kill most Devils. Even if he dies, as long as someone pulls the cord on his chest, Denji can come back to life in perfect condition. Even after being decapitated, being cursed by the Curse Devil and having most of his body blown up, Denji still managed to come back to life with no lasting damage. He’s a poor virgin.
