A new Shonen Jump series reveals the simple reason why Makima is able to manipulate Denji so easily and effectively in Chainsaw Man.
The master manipulator in one of the Shonen danceHis latest manga provides a great illustration of why Makima can easily manipulate Denji in chainsaw man. Daisuke Enoshima’s new Fabricant 100 series has very little in common with Tatsuki Fujimoto’s popular Chainsaw Man manga ostensibly, but one of its chapters could change that by introducing the top manipulative mastermind. the mysterious organization Mortsafe. While not much has been revealed about her so far, her philosophy of manipulation has obvious similarities to Makima.
In Chapter 6 of Fabricant 100 Ashibi and Fabricant 100 meet the head of the organization that hunts down the builder Mortsafe, a young girl crouching in front of a chessboard with a pose similar to the genius detective L in Death Note. She is eager to accept Fabricant 100 into her organization, but she is not so sure about Ashibi. She told the couple that the most important thing about a pawn is that it behaves predictably. Builder 100 is motivated only by protecting Ashibi so she can take his body parts after all other Builders have died. On the other hand, Ashibi, although seemingly motivated solely by avenging his family, may have some sympathy for more human-like fabricators as implied in his relationship with Fabricant 100. This would make him a much worse target for manipulation.
Fabricant 100’s Makima version is much more mysterious
This lesson in manipulation also applies to Chainsaw Man. Denji is a character whose motive is simply to have a physical relationship with a woman. Makima takes advantage of this by promising him romantic favors in exchange for Denji at her command. She uses her deep knowledge of his desires later in the story to make him extremely miserable and turn him into her mindless dog. This is consistent with her true identity as the Demon Controller.
While readers know very little about the Mortsafe frontman’s motivations, if she turns out to be a mix of Makima and L she will be an extremely interesting character to keep an eye on. Effective and menacing master-manipulators like Makima are pretty rare in the Shonen Jump series, so if she can live up to that example, she should take the series in some very interesting directions. taste. So now is the perfect time for chainsaw man fans looking for more series with characters like Makima to dive into Manufacturer 100 and watch her plan play out.
