Makima is one of the most beautiful and strongest characters of the critically acclaimed manga series Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto. She initially appeared as a cute young woman who is an ally of the main protagonist, Denji. Makima took Denji under his command and made him her pet. She is also a high-ranking Devil Hunter and is a leader of the Public Safety Devil Hunter organization. Makima was the one who helped Denji in finding another purpose in his life.
However, later in the series, Makima showed her true colors, and around Chapter 75, the readers came to know that she is a really powerful devil who is as old as the history of humans. She is renowned as the Control Devil, who serves as one of the main antagonists of the Chainsaw Man manga series. So, here are some amazing facts about the lesser-known antagonist of one of the most popular manga series.
Makima Wants To Save The World
Makima started her journey as a beautiful, cunning, and manipulative character. Since Denji is attracted to her, she made him her pet in exchange for a romantic and sexual relationship. But at the same time, she also threatened to fire him if he ever disobeyed her. Initially, she was an ally. However, later she was revealed to be the Contro; Devil. Despite being the antagonist, Makima’s true goal is to save the world. Makima claimed that she would use the power of the Chainsaw man to get rid of hunger, death, war, and all the painful struggles and create a better world for humanity.
However, the path Makima chose to walk indicates something else. She is way too intimidating, and in the manga series, Kishibe was even ready to summon the Hell Devil as his entire squad wasn’t enough to control Makima. Chainsaw Man can erase the existence of any devil just by eating him. Makima is planning to use this power to her own advantage by controlling Denji.

Different Perspective Of Makima’s Name
The author of Chainsaw Man, Tatsuki Fujimoto himself, revealed that he started making fantasies stories in his head when he was in Junior High School. There were several serialized works in his head, but only one of them managed to come out, and it is none other than Chainsaw Man. She created Makima to symbolize domination. Also, she is the very first character Fujimoto has a solid image of. However, during a recent interview, Tatsuki Fujimoto revealed an entirely disturbing fact about her.
According to this, Makima is kind of a motherly figure to Denji. He explained that how the latter is always looking for a motherly figure because of his rough upbringing. Fujimoto asked, “By the way, isn’t a Chainsaw originally a tool to cut wood?” And continued, “If you cut the ‘ki’ out of ‘Makima,’ you get ‘mama.’ Denji has always pursuing material things.” Now, the readers will have an entirely different perspective of the final events that took place in the first part of the Chainsaw Man manga series.
Makima Has Frightening Physical & Supernatural Abilities
Makima is one of the three strongest characters of the Chainsaw Man manga series. So, it goes without saying that her power level is off the charts. Only the Darkness Devil and Denji can stand up against this beautiful young lady. The thing that makes Makima this strong is the fact that she is immortal. She is a Control Devil who came into existence along with human history. Makima had died a total of 33 times during the main story. However, she still exists as one of the antagonists of the Chainsaw Manga series.
Makima’s supernatural abilities include all the Control Devil abilities. She can control and manipulate anyone who she thinks is inferior to her. She can also force them to make a contract with herself or any other devil. Makima can also crush her opponent by giving her a curse. However, in order to use this curse technique, she needs to be in a higher place. It is also important for her to know the name of the target, and she has to sacrifice a human as well. Makima can cause damage to her target just by showing her index finger towards them. Not only that, but she can also crush her opponent from the inside just by a mere glance.
