Top 10 Coolest Things About Makima

Makima enters ‘Chainsaw Man’ as the calm face of Public Safety while quietly steering the biggest moves in the story. On screen she recruits, reorganizes, and executes operations that change how devil hunting works in Tokyo. The anime shows her authority, her unnerving precision, and a few glimpses of abilities that reach targets from miles away. Here are the standout facts the show reveals about how she works and why everyone around her follows her lead.

Division 4 Boss With Real Pull

Makima leads Tokyo Special Division 4 and sets priorities for devil hunting across the city. She decides who gets recruited and who gets partnered and she signs off on risky field operations. After major incidents she briefs higher ups and keeps resources flowing to her teams. The anime shows other divisions deferring to her plans and timelines even when they come from outside Tokyo.

The Temple Ritual That Erases Enemies From Afar

During the coordinated attacks on devil hunters she performs a ritual at a mountain temple outside Kyoto. With blindfolded staff and a list of names she turns spoken targets into crushed bodies at long distance. The prisoners who speak the names die during the process which underscores how restricted and costly this move is. The sequence confirms she can eliminate hostile operators without ever stepping onto a battlefield.

Survives A Point Blank Assassination On The Train

Makima is shot at close range during the nationwide hit on Public Safety personnel. She later stands in the same carriage unharmed and recovers control of the situation. The scene establishes that conventional gunfire is not enough to take her down. It also explains why attackers pivot to capturing Denji instead of trying the same approach again.

Identifies People By Scent

Early on she tells Denji that she can recognize him by how he smells. The anime pays this off as she tracks him and reads situations with quiet certainty. This lets her sort allies and threats in crowded scenes without obvious cues. It also hints at heightened senses that support her leadership work in the field.

Puts Denji And Power Under Aki For Control And Growth

Makima assigns Denji and Power to live with Aki and operate as a unit. The setup gives her a stable way to monitor two volatile fighters while giving them structure and support. She uses check ins and orders to keep their goals aligned with Public Safety objectives. The arrangement becomes the backbone of Division 4 missions shown in the anime.

Merges Surviving Teams After The Attacks

Following the ambush on devil hunters she consolidates multiple Tokyo divisions under her command. The move keeps specialized personnel together and reduces gaps created by casualties. It also puts every key operator on one roster for faster tasking. The consolidation explains how later operations deploy mixed squads without red tape slowing them down.

Brings In Kishibe To Train The Problem Children

Makima assigns veteran hunter Kishibe to break in Denji and Power after their early showings. She gives him the freedom to use extreme methods to sharpen their combat instincts. The training raises their survival odds before the next wave of organized enemies arrives. It shows how she invests in talent when raw power needs discipline.

Runs The Response To The Katana Man Crisis

When coordinated shooters and the sword wielding hybrid hit Tokyo she directs the counteroffensive. She secures Denji as a priority asset and tasks teams to track the enemy handlers. The anime shows her calling in help from Kyoto and pushing fresh squads into the city. The follow through ends with Public Safety regaining control of the streets.

Uses Blindfold And Clearance Rules To Guard Secrets

Anytime her more unusual work happens the anime shows strict blindfold protocols for nearby staff. Even allied hunters are kept from seeing details unless cleared. The rule set limits leaks and keeps enemies from learning how her abilities operate. It also explains why her teams follow tight instructions during high risk moves.

Centralizes Gun Devil Intelligence For Targeting

Makima briefs hunters on how fragments of the Gun Devil draw toward each other. She uses collected pieces to predict where strong devils will surface and then sends units to those locations. This system ties routine missions to the larger pursuit shown across the season. It also clarifies why Division 4 keeps finding bigger fights as the pieces accumulate.
