**Makima** is the main antagonist of *Chainsaw Man Part 1: Public Safety*. She was the leader of the Public Safety Devil Hunter organization who takes Denji under her wing, giving him a happy life compared to the suffering that he endured during his childhood days. Initially acting as a helpful ally, she is later revealed to be a powerful and intelligent devil as old as the history of humanity known as the **Control Devil** who was feared by human beings for several centuries and several other nations, including the United States. She then proclaimed herself to be an admirer of the Chainsaw Man, the entity that was sealed in Denji's body, and planned to either be devoured by him or use his powers to eradicate all of the devils that have plagued humanity for years in order to bring a better world under her control.

She is voiced by Tomori Kusunoki in Japanese and Suzie Yeung in the dub.

## What Makes Her Magnificent?

* Is the direct organizer of Part 1's events, with nearly every character one way or another being a pawn that she exploits taking advantage over their strengths and weaknesses to be the one who had been advancing no matter what all was the outcome.
* Is a tragic villain who herself had been raised through emotional exploitation by the government who lovelessly used her as a mere weapon for them to exact their supremacy, leading to her longing for a genuine familial connection with the others which she feels she will eb able to achieve on her utopia which is her dream. This is demonstrated through her has a genuine admiration for dogs for being loving her one-sidedly. Kishibe notes that Makima was only as ruthless because she was as ruthlessly raised when finding her reincarnation Nayuta, and even Pochita deep down does sympathizes with Makima and wants Denji help achieve her dream by raising Nayuta with love albeit be far from as ruthless as Makima was.
	+ This gives her a huge advantage over many villains like most of the non-humanoid, non-Fiend devils who are villains that lack any sort of redeeming qualities, the Yakuza members that include Debt Collector & his grandson Samurai Sword, who she performs an Eviler than Thou on, and her purely evil rival, Santa Claus, who serves as a darker foil that is an even bigger sadist than Makima who also has her own, even more disgusting niche while lacking anything remotely redeeming about her at all.
* While ruthless and factors in her own personal, subjective biases, she is a genuine well-intentioned extremist who wants to create a utopia when the world is under her control, where the innumerable flaws she believes the world has is fixed using the Chainsaw Devil by convincing or controlling the Chainsaw Devil to join her crusade and use his abilities to delete concepts from reality.
* Through her contract with the Prime Minister, she is essentially immortal with any sort of fatal hit she can transfer to a random Japanese citizen, most who were displayed to have been convicts, in the form of illness or accidents.
* Recruits Denji to her Public Safety Division under promises of food and residence to keep a closer watch on him.
* Teamed Denji up with Aki Hayakawa, a Devil Hunter who fiercely hates Devils due to the Gun Devil's attack, and Power, the Blood Fiend to lower Denji's guard and to use them to (according to the Government) retrieve the Gun Devil's part for Japan, but actually to traumatize Denji into accepting her plans.
* Having either been the one that hired Akane Sawatari or simply anticipating her attack, she uses her as her pawn to weaken the Divisions of Public Safety to strengthen her control over the Division.
* When Sawatari ends up attacking her, Makima mops the floor with her assassins effortlessly, and with the names she gets from the Yakuza, uses a ritual to decimate Sawatari's team.
* Having approached the Yakuza, when they smugly refuse her demands for the names of all Sawatari hired for her operation by self-righteously proclaiming themselves 'a necessary evil', Makima performs a Eviler than Thou on them and force the Yakuza leaders to cow down to her while she shows who the real necessary evil is and rightfully mocks them for being cheap imitations using excuses to commit their crimes.
* Has frequently strengthened the control over the lives Denji and the fiends and clear out any potential wrinkle such as when Denji's other love interest, Reze, existence prompts Denji to consider running away from Public Safety.
* Having anticipated the arrival of a wave of dangerous international assassins out for Denji, Makima has multiple bodyguards present to successfully protect her most prized asset while dealing with her rival on ambitions for world domination, the purely evil Santa Claus.
* By taking control of animals such as rats and birds, she was able to bug nearly all of Japan to force all of her enemies to a corner.
* Upon the Gun Devil's arrival, she uses the abilities of all the Devils & Fiends, as well as of all the humans & the contracts with other Devils they possess, that were all under her control to strategically defeat one of the most powerful devils on Earth, the Gun Devil by transforming him into the Gun Fiend, even being able to exploit the contracts of deceased humans like Sawatari, Yutaro Kurose and Michiko Tendo, while tipping Denji on the Gun Fiend's arrival to manipulate him into killing the Fiend for good.
* Is able to manipulate Denji to be fully taken control over her, and break his contract with Pochita despite admitting how hard the task was due to how content Denji was even at the terrible life he had forced to work for the Yakuza.
* Ran a propaganda displaying Chainsaw Man as a hero. Although Denji thought she did it out of gratefulness, she was actually doing this so that humans will fear chainsaws less and less, biding her time that the Chainsaw Man becomes weak enough for her plan.
* Using the Chainsaw Devil, Pochita, as her own ace in her sleeve, she thwarts an otherwise brilliant trap by Kishibe, showing who the biggest planner of the series really is.
* Has a skewed admiration over Pochita as a worthy enemy due to being her uncontrolled polar opposite that is the only one immune to her powers, and so enwraps him on a Xanatos Gambit, in which she either takes control over him for his goals or he joins her, or that Pochita devours her instead, either way succeeding in building some sort of connection to her and winning either way.
* Is able to defeat Pochita in a fair fight, and then resurrects him due to her being skeptical of her worthy enemy be that able to be taken down so easily, to which she ends up defeating him again.
* Is such a tight planner that Makima was nearing total victory over her ambitions, Denji was only able to defeat her through an unexpected ambush by taking a huge gamble on if she really did memorize his scent.

## What Makes Her a Baddie?

* Sacrificing or endangering countless lives as collateral damage to further her plans, with loads of people having been harmed when whatever hit dealt to her is transferred to a random Japanese citizen as an illness or accident as a result of her contract.
* Has Angel Devil use his powers to wipe out the village that raised him in order to test the full effectiveness of his powers.
* While she trumped the Yakuza and gives them deserved karma for their atrocities, for that she has an eye removed from their loved ones, who were probably innocent, to intimidate them into giving her the information she needed.
* Was heavily implied to be the one that hired Akane Sawatari for her terrorist attack, or is at the least confirmed to have known Sawatari's plans and allowed her attack, to sabotage Public Safety to strengthen her control over it.
* "Kills" Reze when Denji plans on running away with her to strengthen her control over Denji's life, before placing her under her control.
* Mocks Quanxi as a corpse when she surrenders herself for her Fiend girlfriend's safety and "kills" them all to absorb their powers for her to control.
* Emotionally exploits a vulnerable teenager like Denji, building his happiness to only tear it down and make him suffer so that she can break his will and thus his contract with Pochita, and in order to do so she turns his brother figure (Aki) into the Gun Fiend and forces Denji to kill him to save numerous innocents, or killing his sister figure (Power) in front of him and laugh while revealing the truth that he killed his abusive father to further gaslight Denji.
* Sought to use the Chainsaw Devil to erase devils all across the world as well as the concepts of which fear they embody to rid the world of things she feels the world is better of in her own subjective opinion, as she enforces a totalitarian rule to the entire world, not caring about the impact to life once the respective devils associated with them got erased (including bad movies), even planning to erase her sisters War, Hunger and Death.
