Hand-to-Hand Combat: Makima is very a proficient combatant, despite not usually being seen fighting. She was capable of defeating a weakened Pochita by herself and only using her fighting skills, she even managed to rip Pochita's heart from his body by restraining him after she defeated him. Makima is seen partnering Aki with the Angel Devil stating that he is the most powerful member of the 4th excluding Kishibe. She also tells Aki that the Angel Devil is lazy and that he doesn't have to be friendly with him, only to use him well as he could be a valuable asset. Immense Strength: Makima possesses a great deal of physical strength allowing her to fight effectively in hand-to-hand combat without relying on any of her subordinates. Her strength was great enough to overwhelm Pochita's weakened form and shatter his chainsaws with her strikes. However, at the same time, in Chapter 97, she can be perceived as a tragic character who only wants to feel love and empathy as she attempts to create a world where everyone is equal to her footing so that she could build a familial relationship due to the fact that she was never shown one as the government raises her to be a ruthless, cold and no-nonsense woman that leads the Public Safety to exterminate devils and bring world peace in the present day. After her death, she is now reincarnated as a child named Nayuta, who is a docile and weaker version of her with no memories of her past. Appearance Force Manipulation: Makima has been shown to offensively manipulate an invisible force in a variety of way similar to Darkness Devil. This force can be used to damage her weak targets internally by simply staring at them. Depending on the situation, she can use this power in other various way such as:

Acquired from completing a Challenge Mission in BULLET X CHAINSAW after the update patch. [8] Trivia [ ] Makima also realizes that she is not a good person and deems herself as "necessary evil"; a weapon under control of the Japanese government, just like Gun Devil which is under the control of the American government. She is not afraid of her plans derailing, since whether her plans fail or succeed, she will almost always achieve something she wants. In the end of the manga, it was then revealed that Pochita knew about Makima's own ambitions and goals to create a better world so that she could stand equal with other humans and form a familial relationships in the end due to her harsh upbringing with the Japanese government while seeing Pochita was the only entity that is on equal footing as her which in turn forming a rather toxic fanaticism towards him and trying to have a lovely life together by eating and sleeping together. However, in the end, Pochita ended up finding Makima's methods on building her ideal world to be wrong and as a result, he decided to have a philosophical chat with Makima about movies before going to battle and after Makima was defeated and reincarnated, Pochita then entrust Denji to fulfill Makima's goal by embracing her with hugs a lot so that her ideal world can be realized. Aki Hayakawa However, at the same time, Makima's calm and collected demeanor led to her absolute apathy on winning and losing the battle as in the end, Makima also perceives some of her losses as an absolute win in the end especially when it comes to fighting the Chainsaw Man which she obsessed at. This was shown where she dismissed Kishibe warnings about if she lost the battle against the Chainsaw Man and will be eaten by him in which she still considered it as an absolute win because she intends to become part of the Chainsaw Man itself and still tries to harness his powers. Her calm and collected behavior was also shown during the battle in Chapter 87, seemingly apathetic if she doesn't win the battle against Chainsaw Man or not despite using hybrid devils on her own disposal to defeat Chainsaw Man, knowing full well that she will lose the battle. Makima also possesses a huge sadomasochistic tendencies during the fight against Chainsaw Man as during Chapter 88, she is seemingly possessing a rather elated face as Chainsaw Man tied her and the brainwashed hybrids before cutting them off, indicating that she had a lot of fun during her battle against Chainsaw Man. The Chainsaw Devil is perhaps the only individual Makima has ever shown genuine interest or affection towards. Furthermore, Pochita is one of the only people who she does not believe to be beneath her due to his legendary status and power.

Appearance

In addition to all of this, Makima also shows a rather condescending and elitist behavior, viewing Denji as nothing but an obstacle for her to meet Chainsaw Man and also viewing him as unworthy for the title due to his appearance and mannerisms alone. When Denji asks her if bad movies will exists in her utopian world, alluding to their date in the cinemas, Makima then answered his question by saying that she has no hesitations to remove all the bad movies from earth, reflecting her determination to bring a world where human race experience no suffering and misfortunes. Your necessary evil is just an excuse to justify your own crimes. Those excuses are unnecessary to society. The truly necessary evils are always kept collared and controlled by the state." It is also stated that she is on the humanity side, claiming that she attempts to save humanity from the devils that were plaguing this world. Despite some of her ruthless behavior, she has no hesitations to call out several hypocritical Yakuzas about justifying themselves being a necessary evil as she needed their cooperation to further her own plans seemingly saving humanity. In addition, Makima showed a bit of a glimpse of the humanity in her when she cried during her time with Denji watching the third film about a man seemingly reconciling with his lost friend. Makima is also shown to be the serious and calm person on her job as she made herself a no-nonsense authority figure for the Devil Hunter bureau itself while mostly spend her time as a person who has limited emotions over the course of the story. Despite this, Makima is shown to be a respected figure by the Devil Hunters as according to one of them, Aki Hayakawa, he owed Makima deeply because Makima saved her life from a dark and troubled past while another one, Madoka, also respected Makima due to her respecting the decision to quit the bureau after the massacre towards the Devil Hunters happened. At the end of the day, it was then revealed that Makima herself only views Chainsaw Man as a possession that she was obsessed with while revealing that her seeming goal to make a better world is just a mere second objective for her as she contemplated to live with Chainsaw Man in a happy live together forever. Her trait on severely underestimating Denji as nothing but an obstacle comes bite her hard at the end as she was killed by the thing that she hated in the first place and was turned into a minced meat to be eaten Denji despite that he ate her to show love for her. Makima's final battle at the end with Chainsaw Man was inspired by the Shinobu vs. Koyomi fight in the Kizumonogatari III movie according to a tweet by Fujimoto.

As he is relaxing, he can see happy and carefree citizens leading peaceful lives. Yulha then questions him to guess how many Nikkes are on the nearest street at this moment. While he doesn't see that many, she admits to not knowing herself since there are Nikkes that pose as humans. All one has to do is walk around unarmed and most won't be able to tell the difference. She explains that Nikkes don't just want humans to survive, but want them to live in peace and it's because of them that the Ark exists. Though they can't survive on the surface, Triangle and the Central Government are responsible for maintaining the peace. With a new sense of understanding, the protagonist sits with Yulha while taking pictures of humans and Nikkes coexisting in perfect harmony until the night creeps in. She intercepts Reze when she is going to meet Denji at the Café using her ability to travel as a mischief of rats. She tells Reze that she too likes the country mouse and talks about going to help a friend who lives in the country, stating that catching the mice which ruin the fields gives her peace of mind. She disarms Reze with the help of the Angel Devil who is waiting on the rooftop above the alleyway. She is standing in a pool of Reze's blood when she tells the Angel Devil that she told him to bring Aki with him. She sees it as considerate that he didn't bring Aki along as he wouldn't have wanted to kill a woman. International Assassins arc At the end of the day, it was revealed that Makima is nothing but a psychotic fangirl who views her making a better world as a secondary objective for her as she attempts to have Pochita for herself while planning to live together happily ever after. In the end, she was then defeated after she severely underestimating the person whom she views as an obstacle to her plans at worst and a mere lapdog at best. Makima speaks with Kishibe about the potential threats that will be coming their way, including a rumor that Quanxi is coming which Kishibe is unhappy with. She states that it is no use taking precautions against her and that the one they really need to be worrying about is Germany's Santa Claus who is rumored to have died of old age, but is still the biggest threat out there. Makima can channel the power of her victims by summoning them through chains connected to her body. It has been shown that she can use the abilities of the Angel Devil, Future Devil, Snake Devil, Punishment Devil, Spider Devil, and Zombie Devil. Even deceased individuals can be controlled in this manner. Makima was able to form a squad of weapon Hybrids, three of which (Reze, Quanxi, and Katana Man) were former enemies who now behaved affectionately towards her. This suggests that Makima can control individuals outright as well as warp their personalities in subtle ways. Makima's control can be broken however, as seen with Angel Devil.Initially acting as a helpful ally towards the protagonist, Denji, by taking him under her wing and making him as a pet, she is also the leader of the Public Safety Devil Hunter organization who tried her best to make Denji's life happy to the point he tried to find another purpose in life and becoming a happier person compared to what he is in the past due to the suffering that he had endured during his childhood days. During her first appearance, she was portrayed as the seemingly Big Good of the manga, even managing to save Denji from his hellish life and tries to make him happy by coddling him and even made companions just for him to form a rather big and strong family that were integrated together while Makima acts as a motherly figure or an actual ideal girlfriend towards Denji. Her motherly figure can be shown when Makima attempts to cheer up Denji by either inviting him on a date to watch movies together or letting him stay at her home when he fell asleep in the park bench. Makima also shows herself to be a dog person as she owns several dogs in her own apartment.

Makima was the first character Fujimoto had a solid image of as she is a character in "Breath of The Stars", one of the serialized works in Fujimoto's head, out of many fantasy stories he imagined in Junior High. In truth, all of the inhuman and ruthless things she had done over the course of the manga are the foreshadowing to revealed that she is something worse: It was revealed that she is actually The Control Devil who exists a long time ago and was feared across the globe by humans and devils alike with the intention of bringing the worst kind of peace into the world. Her true personality were revealed to be that of a compulsive liar and manipulative sociopath who willingly use other people and devils as mere chess pawns to further her own goal while in addition, revealing herself to be a huge sadist as it was revealed that Makima had groomed him to have a happy life at first before crushing it all to pieces as she gaslights him for all the seemingly terrible things she had done so that she could sever the pact between Denji and Pochita. High Alcohol Tolerance: Makima has an exceedingly high tolerance for drinking alcohol; able to out-drink both Aki Hayakawa and Himeno without showing any signs of being debilitated by the vast quantities of liquor/ethanol. [12] However, due to her contract with the Japanese Prime Minister, it is likely that any damage her excessive drinking would have caused was redirected to a random Japanese citizen. Makima's character voice in the English dub of Chainsaw Man anime, Suzie Yeung also provide the English voices for Yulha, Admi, and Noise.Makima appeared to respect Aki's judgement and abilities, assigning him to take care of Denji and Power in his apartment because she trusted him more than anyone else. However, in reality, she only saw him as another pawn in her overarching scheme concerning Pochita.
