The Death No One Saw Coming

Minna-san… I am still recovering. The Makima death scene in the Chainsaw Man manga completely shattered my soul into tiny broken anime figures. After all her mind games, twisted affection, and god-tier dominance, who thought she’d go out like that? Sure, she wasn’t exactly best-girl material, but she was iconic! The Control Devil herself, reduced to a memory.

And the way it happened? Not flashy. Not explosive. But so painfully human. Denji didn’t fight her head-on like a classic shounen showdown. He cooked her. Cooked. Her. The sheer creepiness of that decision still haunts me at 3 a.m.

Denji’s Brutal Choice

Makima wasn’t just some villain of the week. She was THE Control Devil, the manipulative waifu boss who could order the Prime Minister to give her invincibility plot armor. But Denji, our chaotic cinnamon roll, saw through the manipulation. And in a weirdly intimate and disturbing twist, he found the only way to make sure she stayed dead.

It wasn’t rage. It wasn’t vengeance. It was… heartbreak. His way of saying, "You were everything, and now you’re gone." Honestly, the Makima death scene doesn’t feel like a victory. It’s more like watching someone bury the person who ruined and completed them at the same time.

Love her or fear her (or both, like me), the Makima death changed the entire tone of Chainsaw Man. It was a turning point, a moment where Denji stopped being a pawn and finally made a choice on his own.

But for us fans? We lost one of the most complex and terrifyingly alluring characters in manga history. I mean… who else gave us power-hungry girlboss energy like her? Looking at a leash is going to give us all PTSD from now on, that's for sure.

Should You Forgive Her?

Let’s be real. Makima did some messed-up stuff. Manipulating Denji with food, love, and that infamous pat on the head? Evil. But also? Iconic. If you’re re-reading the manga after the Makima death scene, you’ll probably feel weirdly nostalgic.

She was a villain we loved to hate… and sometimes just loved. And even though she’s technically "gone," Nayuta’s arrival means she’s not really out of the picture. Chainsaw Man stays winning.
