powa!
Chainsaw Man is now making his way through his debut anime season, and an incredible cosplay is helping to highlight how awesome Power is! The anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s popular manga series was the most anticipated anime premiere of the year overall, and it’s hard not to see why now that the series has released its first two episodes. Things got off to a fast and explosive start with the introduction of some great heavy hitters loved by manga fans like Power, who will only get scarier as the anime continues.
With Denji joining the Public Security Devil Extermination Unit Special Division 4 for his future fights as the titular Chainsaw Man, he was introduced to two other members of his team, Aki Hayakawa and Power. While we have yet to see Aki in the middle of a new fight, Power herself has already shown the types of “power” at her disposal with her immediately interesting dynamic with Denji. Now artist @sparklekonplay has perfectly tapped into Power’s wild energy with a demon-fit Instagram cosplay! Check it out:
In this Sparkle cosplay, we see how she faithfully recreates every detail of Power in her cosplay, from her hair color ranging from pink to blonde to her signature accessories. like her pair of horns and her eyes of demonic possession that characterize her.
In addition, the attitude that accompanies Ashnikko’s music perfectly complements this characterization work, Sparkle faithfully manages to bring this demon to reality, showing us why this anime that premiered in the fall season is so loved. In fact, his opening has been one of the most reproduced on YouTube.
The success of Chainsaw Man
On September 19, 2022, the most recent trailer announcing the premiere of Chainsaw Man in October was published. In just a couple of hours since its publication, the video has become one of the most popular anime and has already racked up over 7 million views on YouTube and another 8 million views on the official upload on Twitter. This results in around 15 million cumulative views in just one day.
Despite the great success that this means for the franchise, it seems that not everything has been positive (at least, for the animation team in charge). It was mentioned that each Chainsaw Man episodes will have a different endingthis translates into an impressive work of animation every time the adventure of the week ends.
This has attracted the attention of anime fans who have not missed the opportunity to make memes about it among the community:
