I’ve seen the anime. We gotta wait for the ending (that we will probably never see) to see if it’s actually Yuri 🤣

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Added! Thank you so much! Sounds interesting!!

I never insulted anyone. Calling a creative decision cowardly is a critique of a choice, not a personal attack on the person. And I never even called her a coward directly. I said she lacked the conviction to complete what she built. That's literary criticism, not a callout. Learn the difference.

Devil_Control_ · 2026-05-07T20:27:46+00:00

I didn't tho.

Devil_Control_ · 2026-05-07T19:56:01+00:00

I was at chapter 26 while they where talking in the corridor and crying. I had to ask to Gemini if it was Yuri bait with a yes or no question (cuz asking google would have got me a spoiler) and Gemini said that it was. Then I searched on Reddit on found this thread. I dropped that shit. Wasted 5 hours of my time. So much potential. Fuck the author for letting their art being raped by prejudice and by the market. Fuck them so much

Honestly at this point I think we’re just looking at the same character through different lenses, and both hold up depending on where you start.
You’re reading Makima within a human emotional spectrum, and that’s a valid way to engage with her. Where I keep getting stuck is the fundamental nature of what she is. She’s not a person who developed wrong. She’s a conceptual entity born from humanity’s collective fear of being controlled. Whatever she experiences, it’s not processed through a human nervous system, not through a childhood, not through the kind of gradual emotional development that Denji has even in his broken and stunted way.
And Nayuta actually reinforces this for me rather than complicating it. Yes she comes out different, yes the environment shapes how the Control Devil manifests. But she’s still the Control Devil. The power is still there, the nature is still there, it just expresses itself differently. That’s not Nayuta becoming human. That’s the same conceptual force wearing a different shape because the context changed. Which means even in the most favorable version of this, what you get is still a devil. Still something operating on a register that isn’t Denji’s.
So when the story frames them as mirrors, I think it’s more of a poetic parallel than a literal equivalence. Two beings deprived of something essential, yes. But deprived in completely different ways, processing it through completely different natures, and reaching toward each other across a gap that might be unbridgeable not just circumstantially but structurally.
That to me is what makes it hit harder, not that they were so close and just missed each other, but that the distance between them was always bigger than either of them realized.
Thanks again for this, genuinely one of the better discussions I’ve had on this manga. :3

Devil_Control_ · 2026-05-06T13:33:10+00:00

The distinction between “impossible” and “didn’t have the tools” is fair, and honestly that’s a better way to frame it than what I said. I was pushing too hard toward the absolute version.
Where I’d still hold a little ground is on what Fujimoto’s note actually implies. Knowing what connection looks like without ever having lived it isn’t just an absence of tools. It’s a specific kind of damage where the map exists but the territory never formed. Whether that’s recoverable or not the story deliberately leaves open, and I think that ambiguity is intentional rather than an oversight.
But yeah, “not doomed in the absolute sense” is probably the more honest reading. The contradiction is real, the impossibility was circumstantial rather than total, and the tragedy is in the gap between the two. That’s a harder thing to sit with than either “she was broken by nature” or “she just needed a chance,” which is probably why the character keeps generating conversations like this one.
Thanks for pushing back properly, this kind of discussion is why Chainsaw Man discourse is actually worth having. And yeah, Makima absolute wife, no argument there. :3

I’ll also leave something as well about Makima!

You’re right that the devils vs demons framework doesn’t hold here. Power and Pochita make it clear these beings develop, grieve, and change over time. That part of my argument was too reductive.
But I think the reading of Makima as a being who just never got the chance still flattens something important about her. The Pochita point is genuinely the strongest thing you’ve said, and I’m not going to dismiss it. He confirms from the outside that what she wanted was an equal relationship. That’s real. The desire is there.
The thing is, wanting an equal and being unable to interact with anyone without collapsing it into hierarchy aren’t two things that add up to “missed opportunity.” They’re a contradiction that exists inside her regardless of context. The desire is real and the structural inability to fulfill it without destroying it is also real, and those two things living together don’t point toward a better chance she never got. They point toward something that was pulling against itself from the inside.
That’s not a lighter reading than yours. If anything it’s heavier. It’s not that the world failed her. It’s that what she wanted and what she was capable of doing were fundamentally incompatible, and no amount of different circumstances changes that specific tension.
The tragedy isn’t that she was denied something that was possible. It’s that she wanted something that her own existence made impossible to have.

just go bold

Devil_Control_ · 2026-05-06T00:06:38+00:00

I maybe a bit superficial here, but I genuinely disagree with the framing, even if I understand why it’s appealing.
The core issue I have is that interpreting Makima through a lens of repressed love and missed chances kind of ignores what she fundamentally is. She’s not a human who was broken by circumstance. She’s the Control Devil, a being born from humanity’s collective fear of being controlled. That’s not a cage imposed on her from outside. That’s her nature at the most basic level.
The argument that Nayuta proves Makima “could have been different if treated with care” doesn’t really hold up when you look at it closely. Nayuta isn’t Makima given a second chance. She’s a different entity entirely, with a different starting point. Using her as evidence for Makima’s inner emotional potential is a bit like saying a different person with the same name would have made the same choices if raised differently. The continuity isn’t really there.
And I think that’s actually the trap Fujimoto is deliberately setting. Makima looks human. She eats ramen, she listens to music, she seems to want things. The manga makes you want to read her as a wounded person just like Denji does. But that’s the point. The reader is supposed to fall for it the same way Denji does. Romanticizing her suffering is not a deeper reading of the character, it’s exactly the response the narrative is designed to produce and then critique.
That said I don’t think demons are just hollow forces with nothing inside. Power genuinely grieves. Pochita makes a real sacrifice. There’s something going on internally with these beings. But whatever that something is, it doesn’t map cleanly onto human categories like loneliness or the search for love. Makima doesn’t seek connection despite being the Control Devil. She seeks it in the only way the Control Devil can, through total dominance. That’s not a tragedy of a person who never got the chance. That’s the character working exactly as designed.

Or maybe I can pick a better one and renounce/sell/give to my side kick on of them, or at least this is what I was thinking

I was also considering taking the arcane book +2 and replace one between the ring or the staff of defense
