Makima (マキマ) is the Public Safety officer who took/adopted Denji as a human pet after the chainsaw incident. Her role in Chainsaw Man is to be the overseer of everything that conspires, and she is later revealed to be the Control Devil ( 支 配 の 悪 魔 ) that has been living for thousands of years.

Makima is the main antagonist of the Public Safety Saga and is finally put to rest after Denji eats her body. She embodies fear, control, and conquest in Chainsaw Man .

" I want to use Chainsaw Man... to create a better world. " Makima

Appearance

Makima is a light-red-haired woman who rocks a loose braid with bangs - nearly reaching her eyes. She is described as extremely beautiful and alluring, with two side bangs reaching the chest area of her shirt.

Her yellow eyes possess multiple red circles that embody control and domination. Her choice of clothing is a regular off-white office shirt with long sleeves, a black tie, black pants, and brown-colored shoes.

Biological Information

Makima is a female devil who embodies the peak of strength in the current world of Chainsaw Man . Her strength comes from fear and control. However, she has already fallen at the hands of Denji.

Since Denji ate the deceased Makima, a comeback is quite impossible - especially since there's a new control devil in town.

  • Four Horsemen

Personality

Makima has a controlling and cunning personality. She wears a smile on her face and often seems like a nice, gentle lady at first glance. However, that's a part of her abilities as the Control Devil.

Despite all of this, she yearns for a genuine family, but that's not really possible due to her standing. Makima's true personality sees people around her as nothing more than "dogs". Therefore, in true fashion, she uses them however she likes.

She has promised Denji a sexual romantic relationship at many points, but at the same time, she threatens to exterminate him if things don't go her way.

Alas, Makima's ultimate goal is to live a happy life with Pochita for eternity. However, the Control Devil is unable to form equal relationships - therefore resulting in an all-out war.

Ability Rundown

Makima is a devil that can control anything and everything - making her one of the strongest individuals in Chainsaw Man. As a devil, Makima relies on "fear" and "control" as her primary power source and possesses all regular devil abilities.

She can make contracts with humans regardless of whether the contractee is willing. Makima has contracted the entirety of Japan with the Prime Minister. Therefore, any ailment or illness attacking her will automatically be transferred to a random Japanese citizen.

Due to this ability, she can be shot or mutilated multiple times, only to stand back up again with no visible scars or damage. Before the Public Safety Saga, Makima was killed 26 times.

Physical

Makima possesses two basic enhancement abilities that strengthen her to new heights.

Immense Strength

Allows Makima to make hand-to-hand combat her secondary domain without needing her loyal subordinates to do the job for the. Her strength can shatter Pochita's chainsaws in an instant.

Enhanced Smell

Makima relies more on smell than sight regarding interactions. This is also her primary way of remembering people.

Supernatural

Makima possesses two major Supernatural abilities that allow her to take control of others:

Domination

This ability allows Makima to control any being she believes is inferior to her. She can use Domination's effects to channel the abilities of any devil she has brought under her control.

This ability is limited to living beings and can also be used to control the dead. Makima can take memories from individuals by controlling them while changing their personalities in subtle ways.

Force Manipulation

Makima can use an invisible force to damage targets by performing subtle actions like staring. She generally uses the phrase "Bang! (バン!)" while using this ability.
