How Did Denji Kill Makima

Reading Chainsaw Man now and genuinely shocked. How did a relatively new Devil Hunter like Denji even manage to take out the seemingly all-powerful Control Devil? The method was wild.

In 'Chainsaw Man,' Denji defeats Makima by using the 'eternal devil contract' he made with the Prime Minister, effectively transferring his life to her so that she bears the curse intended for him. This creates a moment where she can be attacked. He then consumes her, erasing her existence. Speaking of devil hunters facing impossible odds, 'The Blood Of Devil Hunter' takes a more tactical approach — the protagonist is an ordinary human who has to outsmart supernatural threats through preparation and sacrificial pacts, making every victory feel hard-won and brutal.

In Chainsaw Man Denji surprises Makima by delivering the decisive blow, ending him. Because Makima can not die unless forgotten by others, taking advantage of Pochita's special treatment toward Denji. Denji made a contract with Pochita(because Pochita is the Chainsaw Devil). He agrees to let Pochita dream every night, and in essence, Pochita forgets Makima. It's a very clever reflection of the proverb "knowledge is power." Having erased her memory, Denji makes his final howling cut (in more ways than one) for a critical hit on Makima just as she was about to land. Thus, she died instantly.

Wow, what an intense final chapter of "Chainsaw Man"! Unkillable Makima was actually killed by Denji. Here is the juiciest part. Denji and Chainsaw Devil Pochita entered into a new contract. This contract forces Pochita to forget everything about Makima and thereby turns her human. Denji then uses this opportunity to give her the final blow. Incredible, right?!

There was a fascinating twist with how Denji killed Makima in 'Chainsaw Man'. He had Pochita forget about Makima, exploiting her ultimate weakness. This allowed Denji to finally end her.

Do you remember one of the crazy endings in "Chainsaw Man"? Cut it out! Makima. Was eliminated by Denji in a "never-saw that coming" kind of way at the end[won]? With the powerful ally Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil to his rescue In a very smart maneuver, he made a deal. They both agreed. Not to mention Makima, Let's make a deal now-- This means that Denji was given enough time to deal her a final fatal blow in turn. That was really dirty and cheap of him to do that, wasn't it?

How did makima death change Denji's fate?

That final confrontation rewired everything for Denji — not in some neat heroic-upgrade way, but in this messy, human-aftershock way that stuck with me. For years his life had been a chain of immediate, childish wants: a hot meal, a warm bed, someone to like him. Makima exploited that simplicity and turned his need for affection into a leash. Her death ripped that leash off and left him standing in a world where the rules were suddenly his to interpret. Without Makima's control, Denji gains something rare: real choice. That freedom isn’t glamorous — it comes with guilt, nightmares, and the knowledge that many of his past actions were staged or coerced. He has to rebuild trust with others, relearn what he actually wants beyond surface pleasures, and confront how much of himself was manufactured by someone else. Narratively, that shift pushes him out of puppet territory into the messy gray of agency. He’s still impulsive, still hungry for simple comforts, but now his decisions bear the real weight of consequence. For me, that’s the most compelling part: watching a character whose life was literally choreographed learn how to improvise. It’s heartbreaking and oddly liberating, and it makes 'Chainsaw Man' feel less like spectacle and more like a study in what freedom costs — which, honestly, is exactly the kind of story I can’t stop thinking about.

does makima die because of Denji or another character?

That final confrontation in 'Chainsaw Man' still sits with me like a cold aftertaste. I’ll cut straight to it: Denji is the one who kills Makima — he delivers the decisive blow. But the scene isn’t a tidy one-on-one knockout; Fujimoto layers it with manipulation, clones, and psychological trickery so the victory feels earned, confusing, and bleak all at once. What made it sting was how personal it was. Makima had been pulling Denji’s strings and rewriting what he wanted, so the act of killing her reads like both revenge and a reclaiming of his own agency. There’s also that annoying, fascinating ambiguity about which Makima actually dies: she’d been using other bodies and creating near-identical versions, so the narrative leaves you thinking about identity and whether the Control Devil’s influence truly ends. For me, Denji’s act is the climax of the series’ themes — power, longing, and the cost of freedom. It’s messy and imperfect, and I like that: it doesn’t let you walk away whistling. I still find myself turning pages in my head when I think about it.

That finale punches you in the chest. In 'Chainsaw Man' Makima (the Control Devil in human form) is defeated — Denji kills her during the climax of the story. It isn’t a neat, heroic goodbye; it’s brutal, complicated, and fueled by decades of manipulation and trauma that Makima inflicted on everyone around her. Denji’s choice is violent and final in the moment, and the scene is written to feel like both revenge and heartbreak. What complicates things is what comes after: the Control Devil’s power and essence don’t simply vanish from the world. A little girl named Nayuta shows up in the aftermath and is ultimately connected to Makima’s nature — effectively a rebirth or reincarnation of that same force. So yes, the Makima who held power and authority is killed, but the thematic cycle continues through Nayuta. For me, that bittersweet loop is what sticks — justice served, but the world keeps turning, and new problems rise from the ashes. It left me unsettled and strangely satisfied at the same time.
