barem wants denji to be chainsaw man just like how makima did. but barem doesn’t understand makima. not like how pochita did. pochita knows that deep down, what the control devil wanted was an equal. someone to love her

it is so so wicked how he insults and belittles nayuta, makima’s reincarnation. nayuta is the control devil raised in an environment where she could be loved, where she could go to school, eat all the food she wants. however that isn’t the version of the control devil that barem loves, and so he hates her for it.

the parallels between makima and baremmm ugh. the way they both hurt and use what they view as a lesser, incomplete version of the thing that they worship. it’s so evil and so fascinating
