Character Analysis Of Makima
Today we are going to talk about the character of Makima in Chainsaw Man anime.
MAKIMA
Makima is one of the main characters in the first arc of Chainsaw Man. Early in the story, we learn that she is a senior member of the Public Safety Devil Hunters and leader of an experimental unit Tokyo Special Division 4.
Appearance
Makima is a beautiful woman who appears to be in her mid-twenties. Her hair colour is a light red, normally kept in a loose braid with bangs reaching just past her eyebrows and two longer side bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are yellow with multiple red rings within them. Her outfit consists of a white long sleeves white shirt, a black tie, black pants and brown shoes.
This leads us to her first appearance, where she finds Denji after he first transforms into the Chainsaw Man and offers him to join her squad. Makima appears to be the most caring and friendly person in Denji's life, the first one to treat him as a human. He even develops romantic feelings for her right after their first encounter.
Unfortunately, for Chainsaw Man, Makima turns out to be the control devil and has the power to control any other being. But to control someone, she first needs to convince herself that she can defeat that being. So, Makima uses Denji’s romantic feelings to trap him in her plan and slowly weakens him to attempt to take over Chainsaw Man’s powers.
Personality
At surface, Makima seems to be a nice, gentle, social and friendly woman, she is seen almost the entire time wearing a smile on her face and acts relaxed and confident even during a crisis. Makima keeps a calm and decisive demeanor as a Devil Hunter, always acting on her own with little to no resistance from other officials.
Despite being the leader of various Divisions, Makima is willing to put her subordinates on the line in order to fulfill her own goals.

Goals Of Makima
When the control devil is initially introduced, we learn that Makima aims to control Pochita and use the Chainsaw devil’s power of devil erasure to create an ideal world. In her ideal world, the element of fear, death, and conceptually bad movies don’t exist.
But in Chapter 96 of the manga, after believing to have defeated Pochita, Makima shares that she wants to spend a happy forever with him. She even claims it will be an honor to get eliminated by him if she gets defeated.
How Did Makima Die?
In the 96th chapter of the manga, Pochita and Denji cleverly defeat and kill Makima after deceiving her with a duplicate body of Chainsaw Man. But that's only the end of Makima's story. The control devil lives on. Unless consumed by Pochita, every devil is sent to hell after death. Then, if they die in hell, that devil is reincarnated in the human world.
Since Pochita didn’t consume Makima after killing her, she soon gets reincarnated back onto Earth. Fortunately, after each death, devils don’t have the memory of their past. So, it is revealed in Chapter 97 that the reincarnated version of Control Devil is Nayuta, an innocent young Chinese girl with no bad intentions. At least for now. Not to forget, she is just one of the Four Horsemen that Pochita has to worry about.
