When the main character Denji is all alone in life, he comes across an injured dog;Pochita. Denji heals Pochita by giving him his blood and they are never separated again. Denji and Pochita try to pay off the debts left by his father by becoming devil hunters for the yakuza in order to survive. Denji’s biggest dream is to live a normal life. He often tells Pochita how he wants to live if they are free one day. He thinks about the possibility of being killed by a devil during this dangerous job and says that in such a case, he wants Pochita to take his body and have a normal life and a normal death. His fears come true and one day, while he is being torn apart during work, Pochita gives Denji his heart. All he wants in return is for Denji to live his dreams and show them to him. Thus, Denji becomes Chainsaw Man. That’s all the part of the story that interests us.

Chainsaw Man has some of the elements that I like in anime, such as strange-looking devils, fight scenes with lots of brutality, a main character with a saw coming out of his head and arms. I’m also curious about what will happen in the second season and the development of the characters. Still, I’m not sure if I would have watched it if Pochita was not in the show. Because no event or character deserves Pochita’s sacrifice. Pochita made the wrong choice. How do I know? Because I know Pochitas very well.

One of them would come around the corner when I felt the loneliest. I always fought with the devils inside me and the devils on the street thanks to Pochita’s I know. They gave me strength when it was hard for me to go on. I was very, very angry with people when I was little, I didn’t even like being a human for as long as I can remember. Pochitas calmed my anger. Their fur was like magic, I would pet them and my restlessness would decrease. When I didn’t even want to get out of my bed, I could leave my house with the hope of seeing one of them. I poured my heart out to them when I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I know the streets are dangerous for stray dogs. I know they belong in warm, loving homes. I knew it wouldn’t continue like this. Because there were Devils. That’s why I wanted to tell Pochita to stop. Don’t give up on your life for anyone. It won’t end well.

I can’t stop what Pochita will experience in the Chainsaw Man universe. I can’t stop what Pochita will experience in my world either. There’s an ache in my heart. I had to let my anger out somehow. I found this pattern. I said I’ll crochet a little. I’ll write a little and feel better.

The difficulty level is intermediate. Sewing the handles and legs can be a bit challenging for a beginner.

I wish there were more photos. I especially like to see photos in the patterns where you can hold it in your hand and understand its size. Even if the size of the finished toy is given in the pattern, I don’t know why, seeing it with photos in your hand helps me visualize it and know what I want. Of course, I may need this because I have a problem with never being able to guess the dimensions of anything from numerical expressions. On the other hand, I found the explanations quite sufficient. The tips and advice given were useful. I have only one criticism: when crocheting the handles, we should have been told earlier to fill them with stuffing material. The dimensions of my first Pochita, which I crocheted with YarnArt Jeans Plus, are as follows: length 20 cm / 7.8” height 13 cm / 5 “. I think I will crochet this yarn with a 3.50 mm hook next time. This was the first time I crocheted a yarn of this thickness with an X stitch and it was very stiff. And I have to admit that my fingers hurt a lot when sewing the legs.

Little Pochita is much more comfortable for me. It could be because I sew more comfortably or because I am more experienced since it was my second time crocheting. When crocheted with a 2.20 mm crochet hook, its dimensions are as follows: length 15 cm/ 6 ” height 9 cm/ 3.5 “. I changed the shape of its eyes to make it an angry expression. I also sewed its legs at different angles. It was very fun for me to change its expression in this way.

The shape of the handles was not exactly as I wanted. When I improve myself a little more, I want to adapt it to my own liking. Still, it looks very cute as it is.

The most difficult part was sewing the legs. I spent a lot of time sewing the right and left sides to look the same. In the end, they turned out the way I wanted. I could only find time to crochet and assemble the pieces at night. We can think that being very sleepy made it difficult for me to sew the legs. I know that there are many people who will understand me. I hope it will be easier for you.

I found this pattern at a time when I needed it psychologically. I would like to thank the pattern designer Hannah James. Crocheting Pochitas that will not sacrifice themselves made me feel good. I hope it will be equally enjoyable for you. If you have any points you would like to add or think differently, I am waiting for your comments.

Now, where I live, people have set their eyes on Pochitas. Pochitas who gave their hearts to us thousands of years ago and want nothing more in return than to live a beautiful life with us. They want their blood. This time, I am faced with something even more terrifying than devils: Traitors. How will I fight them? How will I calm the anger that has begun to flare up inside me again? I don’t know how to pull myself together. I know one thing, no one in any universe deserves Pochitas.
