Biography
Power (Japanese: パワー, Hepburn: Pawā) was a Devil that were primordial beings born in Hell from human fears where she embodied the concept of blood.
After killing anything around her, Power came upon a starving cat who she decided to take under her care. She had intended to fatten up the animal with the intention of eating it afterwards. Due to its animal calls, she began calling it Meowy and had it accompany her as she continued killing anything in her path. Over time, Meowy grew well-fed but by this point Power came to see the cat more as a companion and pet.
As Makima was telling Denji that she would pair him with someone to patrol together and do small-scale missions, Power showed up telling Denji to grovel before her and introducing herself. She asked him if he was her new partner, and noticing that she was female, Denji got excited to work with her. Denji and Power go patrolling on the rooftops with Power rapidly becoming bored and striking Denji on the head as she demands blood. Denji thinks to himself that Power was crazy and wondered as to how he would manage to touch her boobs. After a while Denji, ended up frustrated that there were no devil around and Power boasted that it was likely due to her history as being a fearsome devil that was scaring all the other devils away. Suddenly, Power smells the scent of blood and races off across the rooftops in pursuit of battle with Denji following behind her. She leaps off of the roof and creates an enormous hammer made of her own blood which is released from her wrist. She slams it down onto a Sea Cucumber Devil which had a civilian devil hunter trapped in a nearby phone-booth causing an explosion of blood which soaks her entire body. Power proudly proclaims that the glory is hers and laughs manically. Makima arrives to the scene and chastises Power for killing the Sea Cucumber Devil even though another devil hunter had already engaged it. She also chastises Denji for letting Power get out of control. After Makima calls her excitable and possibly unsuited for work as a devil hunter. Power freaks out and accuses Denji of ordering her to kill the devil. Denji indignantly rejects her lies and the two argue back and forth until Makima asks them to be quiet. Power and Denji go back to patrolling with Power staring at the contents of a vending machine, and notices a cat nearby. She tells Denji that she only gets along with cats and that she hates humans due to her instincts as a devil. She confesses that she hates devils too since one of them stole her pet Meowy from her and that she would do anything in order to get him back. Denji claims not to understand being able to go so far for just a cat but would understand it if he was trying to touch some boobs or help a dog. Power makes Denji an offer that if he gets Meowy back for her, she'll let him touch her chest. Denji suddenly starts cursing the devil who kidnapped her cat and enthusiastically agrees to kill the devil for her.
Denji gets permission for him and Power to go out an outing and they take the tram. Power tells Denji that only he would be able to fight the devil as it would use Meowy as a hostage against her if it sees her. Denji looks at her skeptically but decides to go along with it after focusing on her chest. He tries empathizing with her by talking about Pochita and how that even if he is gone, Pochita is still inside him. Power rudely rebuffs his words saying that Pochita is just dead which annoyed Denji. Power leads Denji to the house where the devil is, but accidentally reveals that was earlier story was just a cover. Denji catches on and tries to attack her but she knocks him out. Power drags Denji into the house and reveals that her intention was to bring a human to the Bat Devil in exchange for Meowy's freedom. The Bat Devil picks up Denji and drains his blood to regenerate his arm. As Denji is dropped the floor, Power looks down on him and states that humans really are foolish since he was tricked by her. Power demands that the Bat Devil return Meowy to her but the Bat Devil complains about drinking Denji's blood and found it disgusting. As punishment towards Power the Bat Devil eats Meowy. Power reminisces on how she met Meowy and she empathizes briefly with Denji losing Pochita, before the Bat Devil picks her up and swallows her whole. The Bat Devil says that she tastes disgusting before flying towards the city with Denji clinging to him, demanding the return of the boobs that were promised to him. After Denji kills the Bat Devil, he saves Power and Meowy from his stomach. Power asks him why he went so far to rescue her even after she deceived him, and Denji makes a groping motion in the air. Power comments that his motives are foolish, but since Meowy lived, she would let him feel her chest. As he celebrates, the Leech Devil attacks them while they are both weakened and eats Denji's arm. Denji asks Power if she can move and she responds that she cannot, forcing Denji to fight though he is unable to fully transform due to a lack of blood. The Leech Devil indicated that she would let Denji go, but when she states that she would kill Power and Meowy, Denji refuses to leave and leaps into battle. Power watches in shock at how far Denji would go just to touch a pair of breasts. She comments that his bloodthirsty and reckless way of fighting makes him look like a demon. Just as Denji is about to be defeated and eaten by the Leech Devil, Aki saves them by using his Fox Devil. Aki states that Denji and Power are to be debriefed and that Meowy will be taken to a veterinary hospital for a check-up.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Power was a Devil whose true form was that of a tall humanoid with four arms and a mostly pale-skinned body. Her head has a pointed appearance with a red color, sharp teeth, and two circular eyes with cross-like pupils. She also has long horns, resembling how her Fiend form looked with too much blood, and longer hair in this form. Her chest has an open rib cage showing a chest cavity full of intestines up to her neck. Her arms have red coloration from hand to elbow. She has four-fingered hands and large claws. Her legs have the same red coloration from the mid-thigh down, ending in heel-like feet and she has a cat-like tail. On Earth though, she came to possess the corpse of an unknown woman or girl with long hair shown as being blonde in colour. As a Fiend, she has red and yellow eyes that form a cross pattern, sharp teeth with defined fangs, and light red horns protruding from the top of her head. If Power accumulates too much blood, her horns become larger and more curved, and she can sprout additional pairs of horns from the sides of her head. Upon taking a human form, she came to be a Fiend and was known as the Blood Fiend (血ちの魔ま人じん, Chi no Majin?).
Power is a compulsive habitual liar; after getting in trouble with Makima for killing a Devil when she wasn't supposed to, Power immediately blamed Denji and claimed he told her to kill it.[10] She also blamed Denji for eating all of the emergency food that the team collected even while she had crumbs on her face, and when accused of abandoning a fight because she was scared, Power falsely stated that she ran away merely because she was hungry.
Powers and abilities
In her original form as a Devil, Power claimed to be greatly feared to the point where other Devils would flee from her scent, though this is quite possibly just boasting. As a Devil, Power possesses all of the standard Devil abilities, such the ability to make contracts with humans for a price, restoring her health by consuming blood, take over a dead human body and their consciousness, becoming a Fiend, and reviving in Hell after being killed.
