Who is Pochita?

Pochita was created by the devil to be a walking, talking, chainsaw-wielding weapon of destruction. However, Pochita is not completely under the devil's control and is often agitated, much to the dismay of those around her.

Pochita is a powerful and destructive force, but he's not completely evil. He has a strong sense of justice and often helps those in need.

His title is Chensō no akuma [チェンソーの悪魔] which literally means Chainsaw Devil. It is worth remembering that despite the name Akuma, the Japanese view of demons differs from the West.

What is Pochita's true form?

Pochita is often portrayed as a small orange canine devil with a chainsaw-like appendage protruding from the center of its head, with a handle allowing its use as a weapon.

This kawaii appearance portrayed when fetching images from the anime is actually her near-death state. His true form is that of a large humanoid devil with four arms and a chainsaw protruding from each arm and head.

Pochita lost her form after disappearing from the battle with the Four Horsemen, turning into a barking canine pet.

Did Pochita die in Chainsaw Man?

Denji is killed while trying to kill a Demon at the request of the Yakuza. Pochita is also badly injured, but the two had made a deal that allows Pochita to fuse with Denji, reviving him as a human-demon hybrid with Pochita's saw ability.

Pochita supposedly died after merging with Denji. However, at the end of the Public Safety arc, Pochita manages to connect with Denji subconsciously.

Basically Pochita is alive, it just changed its form and remains the heart of our protagonist. His dog form remains without the chainsaws.
