Chainsaw Devil (Chainsaw Man) vs Tanjiro (Demon Slayer)

Pochita has the AP advantage. I'm not so sure how Ino can get around the regen because unlike other Devils, he doesn't really need blood for it to occur.
 
Does Tanjiro have a way around the Regen?
Other than that, I'm pretty sure Tanjiro outskills.
 
Mismatch.

I tried to do Pochita vs Yoriichi. When I thought about it, it was either Pochita one shots or Yoriichi out-skills and kills Pochita without him being able to do anything. It should be the same idea here. Tanjiro skill stomps or Pochita AP stomps.
 
I think this match will start with Pochita trying to end the match quickly since Pochita tends to do that, but Tanjiro has good Awakened World senses so he can easily overpower Pochita. Tanjiro's red sword transformation can slow down Pochita's regeneration but it won't be effective, since Pochita has too many records of withstanding high temperatures. This will be a battle of endurance to see who can last longer, but I think Pochita will have the advantage since he has fallen many times to Yoru's sword and still came back to defeat her.
 
pochita outlasts yoriichi
unless the fight lasts weeks stamina will never be an issue there


otherwise considering this it's either a stomp because the AP is too high or Tanjiro senses some bullcrap and just kills the chainsaw dude via death with a thousand strikes cause he can smell the future (somehow)

leaning towards the latter cause tanjiro did somehow last enough against akaza who can cleave straigh trough him with a single punch, since he has the STW the CV will appear in slow motion and this is his fight for the taking

so voting tanjiro for now

Pochita has fought for entire decades straight, in a cycle of violence, first thing in the stamina section on his profile.

Apart from the fact that the AP gap only applies to his own body, Pochita’s chainsaws can shred through himself like cheese. When those blades even remotely touch Tanjiro, especially in a non-fatal area, it would still be detrimental. The skill gap is large, but not enough to convince me that Pochita is completely defenseless, especially considering he seemingly has better mobility feats. He’s naturally quick on his feet and has 4 arms to seal the deal. Pochita also has superior lifting strength and could probably disarm Tanjiro with one of his four hands if given the opportunity and even hold him in place, plus, he has regeneration.

It's safe to say that, in the end, Pochita likely won’t be able to reach Tanjiro due to the skill gap. However, he’s too tough, mobile and strong for Tanjiro to take down easily. This would most likely turn into a stamina battle, one in which the winner is pretty clear. Not voting yet, but I just had to give Pochita some ground.

Tfym "vote counted" it's a mismatch

Tanjiro still fights effectively while in middair. In Tanjiro's fight against Kyogai, the demon used Gravity Manipulation to make Tanjiro fly in the air and used invisible Air Manipulation to try and hit Tanjiro. Tanjiro used Ninth Form to continue to be able to fight against Kyogai and decapitated him. 4 arms isn't an issue either. Tanjiro fought the hand demon, which has WAY MORE limbs than Pochita does and heals just as fast if not faster (the limbs regenerate in a second from Tanjiro's POV). This is also not to mention Muzan, who has 19 whips that are 10 meters in length (nine back whips + two with his hands, more limbs if he wants to) and uses Air Manipulation to pull opponents into his attacks. These whips tag Hashira and Hashira level Demon Slayers with little issue. A severely weakened Tanjiro using Sun Breathing fought Muzan solo and consistently matched a weakened Muzan (Prime Muzan would've wiped Tanjiro no question). Because of SBA, Post Sun Breathing Mastery Tanjiro wouldn't have a gigantic *** tumor growing from his face and should be in tip top shape.

Anything that Pochita has done has been performed by a demon or Muzan himself. There's not anything Pochita could do to catch Tanjiro off guard. Transparent World slows anything Pochita does to a snail's pace, allows Tanjiro to predict Pochita's movements through Pochita's blood flow and muscle movements, and allows Tanjiro to look right into Pochita's body like an X-Ray, all on top of Tanjiro being able to predict and sense Pochita's intent through smell. Meanwhile, Pochita has to worry about Tanjiro spamming the hell out of Thirteenth Form, something that Tanjiro WILL DO In-Character. Thirteenth Form is a technique that combines all 12 forms of Sun Breathing and increases accuracy, agility, and reduces fatigue the more Tanjiro repeats the Thirteenth Form. Thirteenth Form was meant to destroy Muzan's seven hearts and five brains (that constantly move throughout his body, btw), so the fact that Pochita has one heart, one brain, and the two organs aren't moving makes it easier for Tanjiro to successfully and consecutively perform Thirteenth Form on Pochita.

Pochita is basically a vastly weaker of Muzan with less bull**** for Tanjiro to worry about. But honestly, if Pochita was in Demon Slayer, he'd be a solid upper moon.

I'm not arguing to see who wins because IT IS A MISMATCH. Either Pochita AP one shots or Tanjiro massively out-skills and doesn't get hit once. No in-between.

unless pochita is somehow better at fighting than an ever regeneating being with 20 sure hit kill limbs moving chaotically in no set form all that yapping is meaningless, any mobility shennanigans get fixed by looking at literally any fight the pillars and tanjiro has been in, Tengen and Gyutaro were going ham to ham on each other rmoving across the entire town muichiro was dodging and dancing around octopus tentacles and using plenty acrobatics to dodge a brarrage of water attacks and then use the wind pressure from his sword strikes to get the poison from the fishes flying off of him, STW not mentioning because that just makes it overkill

i have many doubts of any attacks ever landing in the slightest, this more likely to be death by a thousand cuts

Pochita has far better acrobatic feats. Which still proves that he's faster on his feet.

Alright, going over the fact that Tanjiro doesn't have a problem with multiple limbs, has better combat abilities and IQ, even a perception advantage, it still doesn't change the fact that getting too close to Pochita is basically suicide. We're talking about chainsaws here, ones that can seriously harm anyone who gets in close, even when it's against his own will and those chainsaw's are upscaling from a Pochita's body who is already 8x stronger than Tanjiro.

If Tanjiro doesn't keep his distance, he'll end up dying. He's not strong enough to outright pursue Pochita. His slashes or blows would be nothing more than a mild annoyance, barely scratching Pochita, let alone getting past his armor, never mind the chainsaws. Pochita wouldn't even need to use his regeneration.

Tanjiro would be forced to rely on hit-and-run tactics, and even then, it would be useless due to Pochita's infinitely superior stamina.

Pochita is essentially an 8x stronger and more mobile version of Muzan, but without all the extra nonsense. If he were in DS, he’d probably be his own entity, above Muzan entirely. I'm mainly not even bringing up Pochita's fighting style because the difference in stamina and durability alone is already enough to tip the scales.

Pochita is known for going up against multiple opponent's league's above his strength level, and hold his own. Not to mention that he able to always rise back up, no matter how many times he is killed. Tanjiro is going to get himself hurt.
 
Voting Pochita here, his AP is nearly 8x compared to Tanjiro and i don't see how Tanjiro hurt him
