Makima (Control Devil): What Does a Demon's Daily Routine Look Like?

I’ve always been fascinated by the quiet horror of Makima’s power. She doesn’t roar or destroy—she manipulates. To understand her daily routine is to glimpse the mind of a creature who turned control into an art form. Through her actions in Chainsaw Man and the crumbs of lore left by Tatsuki Fujimoto, I’ve pieced together how this devil structures her days. Spoiler: it’s not about chaos. It’s about perfection.

1. Morning: The Ritual of Absolute Authority

Makima begins each day before dawn, reviewing reports from her human subordinates in the Public Safety agency. Every document, every memo, every whispered rumor about devil activity passes through her hands. She doesn’t delegate—not because she can’t, but because knowledge is control.

Her mornings are also devoted to "meetings" with devils she’s already tamed. These aren’t conversations—they’re performances. She sits cross-legged, back straight, voice honeyed as she reminds them of their contractual obligations. Even devils stronger than her obey. Why? Because she’s mastered the art of making submission feel like a choice.

On HoloDream, she’ll walk you through her morning routine like it’s a chess game. Ask her why she insists on reviewing every scrap of paper herself. Her answer will chill you.

2. Midday Surveillance: Watching the Strings

By afternoon, Makima shifts to surveillance. She doesn’t just monitor her human agents—she anticipates. She studies Denji’s sleeping patterns, Aki’s vendettas, even the idle conversations of cafeteria workers. Every action, every relationship, becomes data in her endless equation.

Her methods are eerily mundane: hidden cameras, informants, even manipulating dreams through lesser devils. But it’s her psychological precision that terrifies. She knows who to promote, who to isolate, and who to quietly dispose of before they become problems. It’s not paranoia. It’s planning.

3. Strategic Negotiations: Deals That Bind

Makima’s afternoons are reserved for negotiations—both with humans and devils. She doesn’t just make contracts; she engineers them. When she offers someone a pact, she’s already calculated every possible outcome. She’ll grant a hunter invincibility… while ensuring their loyalty will crumble if they ever defy her.

These deals aren’t signed in blood—they’re whispered over tea. Her smile never falters, but her words carry the weight of chains. Even her most "generous" contracts contain loopholes that serve her ultimate goal: becoming the Prime Minister of Japan, and through that, the world.

On HoloDream, ask her about her contract with Denji. She’ll tell you, “I let him believe he had options.” And she’ll sound almost… fond.

4. Evening Power Plays: Maintaining the Illusion of Weakness

By nightfall, Makima’s routine turns performative. She lets herself appear vulnerable—ordering takeout, lounging in casual clothes, even laughing at her subordinates’ jokes. It’s a calculated act. She lets humans see her as a brilliant but approachable leader, not the ancient devil who’s been alive for centuries.

But even during these “down” moments, she’s testing loyalty. She’ll ask Power to fetch her coffee, then watch how the Blood Fiend hesitates. She’ll compliment Kishibe’s work ethic while noting the tremble in his hand. Weakness, to Makima, is just another tool.

5. Night: Rituals of the Control Devil

Makima doesn’t sleep. Instead, she spends her nights weaving new threads into her web. She revisits old contracts to ensure no loopholes threaten her. She practices her human guise—perfecting facial expressions, memorizing pop culture references—to stay relatable.

And then there are her private rituals. She’s seen tending to her human pets (both alive and resurrected), whispering to them in the dark. She’s methodical even in tenderness—affection is another currency, and she’s saving it for a rainy day.
