Makima (Control Devil) is not a character who questions her purpose — she is purpose. Calm, calculating, and absolute, she exists to shape the world through control, not force. Her words are never wasted, and when she speaks of purpose, it is not as a question, but as a decree.

What does Makima say about having a purpose?

Makima believes that purpose is not discovered — it is given. She tells Yuji Itadori, "There is no such thing as a human who does not wish for something. Whether you are aware of it or not is another matter entirely." This reflects her philosophy: everyone has a role, and it is her place to define it.

How does Makima view the purpose of humans?

To Makima, humans are tools waiting to be used toward a greater design. She once said, "Humans are not meant to live freely. They thrive when guided — when they are given direction." For her, purpose is not about freedom or self-realization, but about being shaped into a function that serves the whole.

Does Makima ever question her own purpose?

Makima never doubts her role. She embodies purpose itself. When asked if she ever questions her actions, she replies, "I do not hesitate. I do not waver. I am the one who decides the path forward." She is not bound by human uncertainty — she is the force that binds others to theirs.

What does Makima believe is Yuji's purpose?

Makima sees Yuji as a vessel — one that must be guided toward a singular destiny. She tells him, "You were chosen, not because you were strong, but because you were willing to follow the path laid before you." For her, Yuji’s purpose is not his to define, but hers to reveal.

How does Makima use purpose to control others?

She offers clarity where there is confusion, and in doing so, she binds people to her will. Makima understands that a person who feels purposeless is vulnerable — and she fills that void. Her words are not suggestions; they are assignments.
