A thorough examination of the chainsaw man's makima: who is he, what is his purpose, and what is the shocking end result?

Hello, I am KENTA, a Japanese who loves manga! The anime “Chainsaw Man” is currently airing to rave reviews. The most important character in its first part is Makima. She is the leader of the Public Security Anti-Magic Specific Section 4 and has begun to play an active role in the anime as a reliable boss for Denji and as the main heroine of the first part of the series. However, her shocking identity and the dramatic drama surrounding Makima and Denji and its ending are still burned into the minds of readers.

In this article, we will examine who Makima was, what he thought, and what he wanted to do. This article contains spoilers for the first part and up to episode 106 of “Chainsaw Man,” so please be careful if you haven’t read it yet. Let’s proceed with a thorough discussion of Makima.

The Personality of Makima

First of all, let me give a brief description of the character of Makima. Makima’s first appearance is in the first episode. You have a strange smell, don’t you? You smell neither human nor demon," he said to Denji, who had just obtained the heart of a chainsaw man. With these words, the story of the Censorman began.

For Denzi, Makima was the one who taught him how to live like a human being. She taught Denzi to eat bread with butter and jam, guided her to work, to live with Autumn and Power, and to fall in love. The first half of Chainsaw Man is the story of Denzi’s attainment of humanity, and Makima was his guiding light.

Makima’s appearance is that of a beautiful, intelligent woman with long reddish hair and golden eyes, and she is favored by the main character Denji and Aki Hayakawa for her beauty. She prefers to dress stylishly in a black suit and pants at work, and her calm personality and kindness to her co-workers make her well-liked by Denji, Aki and others.

On the other hand, however, he is also feared by high-ranking devils such as Power. He is one of the strongest devil hunters in the world, and has extraordinary physical abilities beyond those of ordinary people, such as being able to sever his neck in an instant and revive himself even after being shot through the head.

Makima’s Identity and Purpose

Makima’s true identity was at the heart of the story of Chainsaw Man. As we approach the end of Censorman, we see more and more suspicious descriptions of Makima. In episode 74, a demon from the future predicts the worst possible future in which Autumn and Power will be killed by Denji, and asks for help from Makima to change that worst possible future. However, this is not the case, as Makima’s words cause Autumn Hayakawa to lose her ego and turn her into a puppet to be manipulated.

Furthermore, Makima is a demon of domination, an entity that the U.S. government had been trying to defeat by making a contract with a gun demon. In other words, Makima was the main heroine and the last boss of Part I, and the cause of most of the events that took place in the film.

Makima’s goal was to use the chainsaw man to create a better world. He wanted to use the power of the chainsaw man to eliminate all the factors that caused people to suffer, such as war and famine, and to build an ideal world. However, the destination of that ideal could have been a peaceful but not free world.

Power and Weaknesses as a Demon of Domination

Makima’s ability as a demon of domination is the power to manipulate beings lower than himself at will. Any living being with a will, whether human, demon, or animal, can be controlled as soon as Makima believes it is lower than itself. Specific examples include severing the head of an enemy in an instant, or erasing the will of an opponent and bringing it completely under control.

However, there are weaknesses in the Makima’s abilities. First, it cannot dominate beings stronger than itself. The chainsaw man and the demon of darkness cannot understand his ability, and he could not control Kishibe. Second, even a person who has dominated can escape domination in some way. In fact, angelic demons once remembered memories that were erased by their domination ability and attacked them. Denji also appeared to have once surrendered to Makima and had his personality erased, but he regained his ego by ingesting the blood of power.

Finally, the contract between Makima and Japan is only valid against hostile attacks against Makima. In other words, an attack without hostility could cause damage. Makima’s invulnerability was defeated by a non-hostile attack.

Fate and Consequences with Denji

The ambitions of Makima, the most powerful demon of domination, ultimately came to an end through a causal relationship with Denji. Makima was made a hero in order to weaken the chainsaw man. However, Denji’s ingestion of Power’s blood causes the blood demon to make an unexpected comeback, and Denji regains his own self-discipline.

Ultimately, Denji defeats Makima and chooses to become one by eating her in order to eliminate Makima, who is immortalized by a contract with the Prime Minister. With this, Makima left this world and Denji regained peace.

However, Makima’s power as a ruling demon did not completely disappear. She was reincarnated as Nayuta and became involved in the story in a new way.

Conclusion.

The story of “The Chainsaw Man” makes us think deeply about human desires and ideals, domination and freedom, through the character of Makima.
