Power&kobeni

Power (パワー Pawā?) is the tritagonist of the Public Safety Saga. She is the Blood Fiend (血ちの魔ま人じん Chi no Majin?) who embodies the fear of blood and a Public Safety Devil Hunter working under Makima's special squad. Power is childish, greedy, and almost entirely self-motivated. She tends to fight as if she has something to gain and is certain of her victory, and has no problems with running away from a fight where she is outmatched.[7] She feels the need to boast her superiority over her fellow Devil Hunters due to her status as a Fiend. She has no loyalty to humans or Devils, openly admitting that she will join whichever is the winning side.[8] Power also enjoys the thrill of a fight and enjoys showing off her strength and proving her own superiority. When she was in front of an swarm of zombies, she got excited and told Denji to watch carefully how she single-handedly defeats all of them.[9] She is highly egotistical and often claims she is capable of doing things she cannot actually do, only to abandon them halfway through when the situation turns sour for her. She frequently deflects the consequences of her actions to those around her.

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,[11] and when accused of abandoning a fight because she was scared, Power falsely stated that she ran away merely because she was hungry.[12]

Power is also rude, unkempt, and feels as though those around her should clean up after her. She self-admittedly rarely bathes or flushes the toilet and sees humans as being overly sensitive for caring about their hygiene so much.[13]

Power has a tendency of imagining several ways of making humans kneel and suffer. When they were trapped in a hotel due to the ability of the Eternity Devil she spent most of the time there "planning" to win a Nobel Prize and become Japan's Prime Minister so she could raise up their taxes up to 100%.[14]

She has no problem gossiping and talking about her friends behind their backs; sharing the secret of Aki's shortened lifespan with the Angel Devil.[15]

Power sees no difference between pork, beef and human meat; being willing to eat all of them, even if the meat is disgusting zombie flesh.[16] She hates vegetables, throwing them away when she finds them in her meal.[17] Power is an insatiable glutton, eating all of the stored food that the team needed in order to survive the Eternity Devil's trap and hoarding food for herself at the Division 4's newbie welcoming party.[11][18] When asked by Aki about what reward she could want as part of their mission, Power stated that she desired to suck a human's blood until they die. When promised Denji's blood, Power became ecstatic at the prospect.[6]

After returning from Hell and witnessing the power of the Darkness Devil, Power develops severe PTSD, being completely afraid of being alone and feeling that she will be swallowed by the Darkness Devil. As a result, she needs Aki and Denji to help take care of her, helping her to eat, bathe, and sleep, revealing a more vulnerable side.[19]

Though she is extremely selfish, Power was able to experience compassion for the first time towards her pet, after only caring about the smell and taste of blood and the feeling of death when she was killing something. This compassion prompted her to act for the sake of another being when her pet Meowy was kidnapped.[20] Power also begins to care for a select few close friends, such as Denji, as evidenced by getting him a birthday cake, and later putting herself in direct danger in order to protect him. She also appears to care about Aki and is saddened and afraid when he becomes the Gun Fiend. Contrary to her core values, Power developed such extreme loyalty to her friend Denji that she denied her impulse to sacrifice him to Makima in order to save herself, ultimately saving his life at the cost of her own, and proving that she is capable of putting others before herself.

Kobeni Higashiyama (東ひがし山やま コベニ Higashiyama Kobeni?) is a former Public Safety Devil Hunter who started as a new recruit working under Makima's Special Squad, before later resigning from being a Devil Hunter after the battle against the Darkness Devil in Hell. She serves as a major supporting character in the Public Safety Saga.

Kobeni is generally demure, soft spoken, and often anxious. She is exceptionally cowardly with few moments of courage.[5] Her first confrontation with the Eternity Devil leads to her being paralyzed with fright and babbling.[6] She is shown to easily crack under pressure and breaks down in tears when the group becomes trapped in the hotel and she is confronted with the possibility of them all starving to death without any rescue.[7] Her fear can also make her remarkably clumsy.[8]

Her sense of fear causes her to take drastic action in order to save herself such as turning on Denji and threatening him at knifepoint once a Devil promised to free her in exchange for Denji's life.[9] She even went as far as accusing Hirokazu Arai of being a spy for the Devils because he defended Power from Kobeni's delusional accusations.[10] Despite how she acted towards them in her panicked state, she did feel remorse for her actions and gratitude towards Hirokazu for shielding her when they were attacked.[11]

However, when Kobeni gets into action she had proven to be cool-headed and efficient, ruthlessly dealing with both the Katana Man and Akane Sawatari and forcing them to retreat; only breaking down in a panic once the fighting is over.[12]

Despite being forced into a line of work that she hates by her family, Kobeni still cares about them as she sends her money to her brother to support him through college and chauffeurs her family around in her car.[7][13] And despite wanting to quit, she initially stays because it was the day she was going to receive a bonus.[14]

Kobeni is shown to be skittish when hugged repeatedly by Himeno, but tolerates her antics.[15][16]

Kobeni is shown to enjoy alcohol, especially when it is paid for by someone else.[17] Her hobby is to eat tasty things.[18] She loves the flavor of ice cream which she has only experienced three times in her life.[19]
