Makima has unlimited power, total control over her own mind, and decades of accumulated knowledge. She also only ever genuinely cared about three people. This is what she actually was — and how she saw everyone around her.
In this Chainsaw Man video essay I break down Makima as a character from the ground up: why she can’t feel pain or fear, how she planned the entire first arc before it started, what her apartment says about her, and the sorting system she seems to run every person through. Aki got pity. Denji got obsession. Power barely registered at all. Kishibe was the only one she couldn’t manage.
