Twitter user “Pride 矜持 (@PridefuISin)” trended recently after sharing a visual of the character designs from the anime adaptation of chainsaw man and point out that “Makima has no butt”. In his post, which has received hundreds of responses, she simply wrote: «I’m here to inform you of the unfortunate news that indeed Makima doesn’t have an ass…sorry».
Of course always there is a possibility that fans have gotten “the wrong idea” about Makima’s proportions due to the wide variety of erotic illustrations made by artists. For this reason, multiple comments arose about it, highlighting: “He needs to do more squats, like in the fanarts.” “Makima never had a good figure, the fanarts deceived you.” “This whole thread is nothing more than bad people who refuse to understand that Makima is not drawn consistently.” “Bleach is still in the mud to be honest and Makima never had curves in the manga. The point of her character is that she doesn’t need an exaggerated body like, say, one of the basic female characters, to seduce and make anyone her dog and be willing to die for her.” “Whenever I look up Makima on social media I find shit from this guy, it’s making me tired.” “And yet she’s still the sexiest woman in the whole manga.” “All those damn artists lied to me.” “They thought I had a huge ass? Did they believe the artists?». «A female character with realistic proportions? How dare they? Anime fans are always weird and consume too much fanart/porn.” “Makima’s simps got a bucket of reality. Thank you so much MAPPA.” “People finding out that any One Piece girl is 500 times better than Makima.” “Makima simps are devastated.” “All the fanarts brainwashed the fans.” “Yeah, and what? Man, I don’t really care about Makima’s physical traits. I mean, that’s the bonus points, but I mostly love the features and personality of her even though she’s so messy. I don’t know, I love the way she would do anything for her goals.”
Synopsis for Chainsaw Man
The story takes place in a world where Demons threaten the peace of humans, making them targets to be eliminated. Denji is a young and depressed man who has sold several of his organs and works as a lumberjack and demon hunter to pay off his late father’s debt. Denji owns a dog (who is also a demon) named Pochita, who has chainsaws and which he uses to do his work. This is explained because humans can make contracts with demons. After returning home from a job, Denji is called in by a Yakuza to infiltrate a building and assassinate another demon. However, the plan was a trap to kill him as part of a Yakuza contract with the demon, gaining them more power. But Pochita comes to Denji’s aid and bonds with him, becoming a half-man, half-demon and acquiring Pochita’s chainsaws. Font: @PridefuISin on Twitter
