CHAINSAW MAN POCHITA NEAR DEATH STATE APPEARANCE (DEVIL FORM)
After disappearing from his battle with the Four Horsemen and Weapon Devils, Pochita is reduced to a “near-death state”. In this state, he appears to be a small orange canine-like devil with a chainsaw-like appendage protruding from the centre of his head. Handles emerge from his body allowing him to be wielded like a chainsaw, and his short tail is in the shape of a chainsaw's pull cord.
CHAINSAW MAN POCHITA NORMAL APPEARANCE (DEVIL FORM)
His true devil form is of a large, humanoid devil with four arms and a chainsaw protruding from each, with another chainsaw coming from the front of his head, similar to Denji's hybrid form. An intestine still connected to his stomach is wrapped around his neck, resembling a scarf or a collar.
CHAINSAW MAN POCHITA HYBRID FORM APPEARANCE
After making a contract with Denji, Pochita assimilates himself with him, fusing with his heart and becoming part of Denji's anatomy, thus creating a hybrid. This allows Denji to become Chainsaw Man by pulling the chainsaw cord in his chest. In this state, Pochita is smaller, has lost the chainsaw on his head, all his appendages, both handles and has blood vessels connected to him. Pochita however still retains his trademark cute canine face. Denji's chainsaw cord is also directly connected to the top of Pochita's head.
CHAINSAW MAN POCHITA PERSONALITY
Unlike most devils Pochita communicated solely through barks and whines like an actual dog. However, after fusing with Denji, he is able to communicate with him in his mind. He continuously communicates with Denji through dreams, warning him to not 'open the door'.
Pochita deeply cared for Denji after his life was saved by the human, despite the devil's general hatred toward humankind. He willingly gave up his heart to Denji so that he could fulfill his dreams which Pochita loved hearing about. He also shown that he knows Denji very well and is able to mimic Denji`s personality and behaviour to fool Makima.
Pochita exhibits a more erratic personality when in his true devil form, as shown when he quickly murders anyone who expressed even the slight bit of hostility towards him in the burger joint. However, even in this state he remembers his friend Denji's wish of trying a hamburger that isn't rotten and going on a date with a girl, which leads him to kidnap Kobeni. Later, he tells Denji that he always dreamed of being hugged, but his strength made that impossible, implying that his murder spree at the burger joint was accidental due to him being unable to properly control his strength around others.
He also seems to answer the calls of help from humans and devils alike, proven when he saved both Makima and Kobeni from their problematic situations, though he later brutally assaulted the former after completing his task. Despite this, his love for Denji remained, as he was keen to fulfil his friend's dreams, and later even sacrificed himself to save Kobeni.
