May 2024 · 6 minute read

Chainsaw Man is a popular manga series written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It follows the adventures of Denji, a young man who becomes a hybrid of a human and a chainsaw devil, and his friends and enemies in a world where devils and humans coexist. One of the most beloved characters in the series is Power, a blood fiend who joins Denji’s team of devil hunters. But what happens to Power in the manga? Is she really dead or is there a chance for her to come back? This article will explore the fate of Power in Chainsaw Man and the implications for the future of the story.

Power’s Life as a Fiend

Before we discuss Power’s death, we need to understand what she is and how she came to be. Power is not a human, but a fiend, which is a devil that possesses a human corpse. Power is the fiend of the blood devil, which means she can manipulate blood and use it as a weapon. Power was originally a stray cat that was killed by a devil hunter and then revived by the blood devil, who took over her body. Power retained some of her cat-like traits, such as her ears, tail, and personality.

Power met Denji when he was captured by the yakuza and forced to fight in a devil coliseum. Power pretended to be a human and offered to help Denji escape, but in reality, she wanted to use him as bait to lure out the bat devil, who had kidnapped her pet cat Meowy. Power and Denji managed to defeat the bat devil and rescue Meowy, but they also attracted the attention of Makima, the leader of the public safety devil hunters. Makima recruited Power and Denji into her squad and assigned them to various missions to eliminate dangerous devils.

Power and Denji developed a close friendship over time, despite their frequent arguments and pranks. Power also became friends with Aki, another devil hunter, and Himeno, Aki’s partner. Power learned to care for her teammates and even sacrificed her blood to save Denji from dying several times. Power also showed signs of growth and maturity, such as when she decided to spare the violence devil after learning that he was a victim of abuse, or when she comforted Denji after he lost his first love.

Power’s First Death

Power’s life as a fiend came to an abrupt end when Makima revealed her true nature and betrayed her team. Makima was actually the control devil, a powerful entity that could manipulate people and devils with her voice. Makima had been using Denji as a pawn to achieve her goal of creating a perfect world where she would be the supreme ruler. Makima had also killed many of Denji’s friends and allies, such as Aki, Himeno, Angel, and Quanxi.

Makima invited Denji to her apartment and told him to open the door, where Power was waiting outside with a birthday cake for him. As soon as Denji opened the door, Makima pointed her finger at Power and blew her torso off, leaving only her legs and head. Makima then proceeded to torture Denji and force him to watch as she killed his other friends. Power was seemingly dead, but her consciousness was not completely gone.

Power’s Revival and Second Death

During the final battle between Denji and Makima, Power was awakened by Pochita, the chainsaw devil that resided inside Denji. Pochita explained that Power’s consciousness had transferred to Denji, because he had drunk her blood before. Power had made a contract with Pochita to save Denji from Makima, and in exchange, she would give up her body and become part of Denji.

Power emerged from Denji’s body as a blood fiend, with a more demonic appearance and a mask resembling Pochita. She attacked Makima with her blood powers, but Makima easily overpowered her and shot her arm off. Makima offered Power a chance to become her pet again, if she gave up Denji’s body. Power agreed, but it was a trick. She grabbed Denji and tried to escape, but Makima shot her in the back and stopped her.

Power then made another contract with Denji, giving him her remaining blood and asking him to find her after she was gone. She told him to look for the blood devil in hell and bring back Power. She also told him that she loved him and that he was her best friend. Power then disappeared, leaving only her mask behind. Power was dead, but she left a hope for Denji to see her again.

The Future of Power in Chainsaw Man

Power’s death was a tragic and emotional moment in Chainsaw Man, but it was not the end of the story. The manga has entered a second part, which is set in a school where Denji is enrolled as a student. Denji has lost his memories of his past life, but he still has Pochita and Power’s mask with him. He also meets new friends and enemies, such as Nayuta, a mysterious girl who claims to be Makima’s reincarnation, and Kishibe, a former devil hunter who wants to kill Denji.

The second part of Chainsaw Man has not yet revealed the fate of the blood devil or the possibility of Power’s return. However, there are some hints and clues that suggest that Power is not completely gone. For example, in chapter 53, Denji has a dream where he sees Power and Meowy in a field of flowers. Power tells him that she is waiting for him in hell and that he should come find her. Denji wakes up and feels a strange sensation in his chest, where Pochita is.

Another clue is in chapter 52, where Nayuta tells Denji that she can grant his wishes, but only if he kills her. She says that she can bring back anyone who died, even if they were devils. She also says that she knows who Denji wants to see the most, implying that she knows about Power. Denji is tempted by her offer, but he decides not to kill her, because he does not trust her.

The final clue is in chapter 50, where Denji meets a girl named Reze, who looks exactly like his former lover, who was also a bomb devil. Reze tells Denji that she is his girlfriend and that they have been dating for a month. She also says that she knows about his past and that she can help him find Power. Denji is confused and suspicious, but he also feels a strong attraction to Reze.

These clues suggest that Power is still relevant to the plot and that Denji has not forgotten her. They also raise some questions, such as: Who is Reze and what is her connection to the bomb devil? How did Nayuta become Makima’s reincarnation and what is her true goal? What is the nature of the contract between Power and Pochita? And most importantly, will Denji ever find Power and bring her back?

The answers to these questions are still unknown, but we can hope that the second part of Chainsaw Man will reveal them soon. Power was a fan-favorite character who brought humor, action, and emotion to the story. She was also Denji’s best friend and possibly his true love. Her death was a heartbreaking loss, but her legacy lives on in Denji’s heart and mind. We can only hope that Denji will fulfill his promise and reunite with Power someday. Until then, we can enjoy the new adventures and mysteries that Chainsaw Man has to offer.
