speaker_1HOST
Oh, boy.
speaker_0HOST
We have to talk about Makima from Chainsaw Man.
speaker_1HOST
Just saying her name in anime circles causes a visceral reaction.
speaker_0HOST
Makima is the embodiment of the control devil.
speaker_0HOST
The source notes her brilliant, deceptive introduction in the narrative.
speaker_0HOST
She appears as a highly competent, polite, and reassuring leader within the Public Safety Devil Hunters.
speaker_0HOST
This raises an important question.
speaker_0HOST
How do you fight an enemy whose power operates on a conceptual, psychological level? The article details the mechanics of her existence.
Mario LopezHOST
lot going on there.
Courtney LopezHOST
Bass X Makima.
Courtney LopezHOST
It's a series premiere.
Courtney LopezHOST
It's on Netflix.
MiriHOST
[laughs]
NobuHOST
We did wanna name her Makima, 'cause her ears are so big.
MiriHOST
She's always listening.
NobuHOST
She's got big ears.
speaker_0HOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
Eventually, he's brutally betrayed, merges with Pochita to become Chainsaw Man, and is recruited by a mysterious woman named Makima into a government devil hunting organization.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
Their overarching goal is to hunt down the incredibly powerful and infamous Gun Devil.
RyanHOST
So, you know, she's not going to die on you like she's like she definitely has Denji's back.
RyanHOST
But she drank too much blood, so now her ego, as Makima describes it, is way overblown.
RyanHOST
She's very selfish, and so they have to drain her.
RyanHOST
So she, as a fiend, does not turn into just a straight devil.
RyanHOST
So...
RyanHOST
I would say that's probably the biggest difference.
RyanHOST
But the biggest takeaway from this beginning is that Makima goes on a date with Denji.
RyanHOST
And it's not the date that's the big thing.
LaserKidHOST
So we're mainly going to talk about the voices for the main characters here, and I suppose the best place to start is the main character herself, Motoko Kusanagi, voiced by Suzy Jung.
LaserKidHOST
That's Makima in Chainsaw Man and Shisui in Apothecary Diaries.
LaserKidHOST
And oh my god, I am very used to...
LaserKidHOST
Perfect casting.
JosephHOST
Yet in the anime proper, it's replaced by Yohei Azakami, Jairo Zeppel from Steel Ball Run, and Ayumu from When Will Ayumu Make His Move.
JosephHOST
Tartoria is voiced by Tomori Kusunoki, Misha Necron from The Misfit of the Demon King Academy, and Makima from Chainsaw Man in the PV, but then in the actual anime is voiced by Mayu Izukiya, Rina from Million Doll, and Aria Enwa from Q.
JosephHOST
Not sure what this shakeup was for, but as far as I can tell, both sides of the coin were just as good.
JosephHOST
And my favorite character.
