Who????
power (パワー) is one of the main protagonists of the manga series chainsaw man. previously the blood devil, now blood fiend, she works in sector 4 of the tokyo division as a public safety devil hunter. she can manipulate her own blood, most often shaping it into weapons in battle. she has a thirst for blood, meat, and proving herself as superior to everyone.
power's extremely childish, haughty, and conceited. her ultimate dream is to cause humans as much pain as possible and has little sympathy for them in general. she chooses to work alongside humans only for the pure sensation of violence and blood when killing devils. when asked which side--humans or devils--she supports, she says "whichever one is winning". the only being she's ever empathetic to is her pet cat, nyako (/meowy).
because she sees herself as superior to everyone else, she often blames her own faults on others and credits herself for any victories. most of her team sees her as an annoying brat but learn to tolerate her.
Why I like her
i’m not sure. shes just…so silly and awesome is the only way to explain it. shes so stupid but in a way thats characterized because its just her nature as a devil(man). powers a great “non-human human-esque” character because of this. shes just off-kilter enough where shes the perfect amount of not annoying but just silly to me.
her arrogance is just so funny IDKKK its comforting having such a chaotically unloyal, unaware character in such a violent story
Elaboration
(cause its easier & more consise to state my reasonings for why i love her so much in points)
- muse for when idfk what to draw (i like her character design a lot, especially how her horns are her blood & when shes real charged up she gets bigg(er)ass horns on her head)
- love of her cat
- cocky, loud, abrasive, annoying, stupid but in a fun way
- bounces off of others (ESP DENJI!!!! (and aki too i guess)) well
Fun Facts:
- the horns on her head are blood (i think i mentioned this like 2 times prior in this but lol fuck u)
- she loves all meat and hates vegetables
- she ranked 1st & 3rd in the csm popularity polls
- she found nyako (or nyako found her?) after she finished murdering a bear in a forest (random idk)
- tatsuki fujimoto stated in an interview the inspiration for her personality was john goodman in the big lebowski
- while its more difficult than controlling her own, in fiend form, she can control others blood too
Her and Denji
i love love love how their friendship is characterized so bad. even though denji falls in love with every remotely feminine creature ever his sibling-esque dynamic with power never turns into a romantic thing. theyre just stupid idiots who bounce off each other so well.
theyre both very similar but they bicker a lot at the same time and its jsut feiuhfwelhfw such a good way of writing a simple, friendly friendship. the absurdity of how power er acts is very interesting to see interacting with denji (hes weird asf too so it works out).
