On Twitter, a fan art that features Pochita transformed into a small anime girl got lots of reactions online thanks to its creativity, but some fans noted how it seems rather questionable.
Pochita Memes and Fan Art
If you’re an anime fan, you’re probably already familiar with Chainsaw Man as it’s arguably this season’s hottest show. In case you aren’t, the series is an anime by MAPPA that’s based on the manga of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Its first part was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from December 2018 to December 2020. After a break, the series continued with Part 2 which began serialization in Jump+ last July 2022. Chainsaw Man is set in an alternate version of Earth where devils that are borne out of human fears have emerged. Each devil represents a human fear, and the more it’s feared, the stronger it becomes. Devils are a threat to humanity, so devil hunters exist to keep people safe. One such devil is Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil who entered into a contract with the main character, Denji. While Pochita’s appearance was only limited to the first episode (aside from some flashbacks), he became a fan favorite because of his cute appearance. Thanks to his popularity, lots of Pochita memes and fan art were made and shared online, with some even seeing Pochita cross over with other popular series like Spy x Family.

Chainsaw Man Fan Art Shows Pochita as a Cute Anime Girl

It went viral internationally when it was reshared by Twitter user @NezukoSocial. Check it out here: This fan art is incredibly well made as the anime girl version of Pochita seamlessly blended with the show’s art style. Many fans also thought the same and loved this cute alternate depiction of Pochita, though some Chainsaw Man fans found the art to be questionable. After all, the violent nature of the series is definitely not for kids, so some fans have a hard time seeing Pochita as a cute anime girl that must be protected. While you probably won’t see Pochita anytime soon in the anime, you can see Denji and company in the next episode of Chainsaw Man which releases today on Crunchyroll.
