The 12th ending theme of Chainsaw Man has sent a wave of discussion in the anime community. The ending revealed an encrypted message within it. The unearthing involved a mysterious figure that looked like the character of Makima. The creator of the series, Tatsuki Fujimoto, has put an additional panel to his genius storytelling and creative work.
Fujimoto’s detailed work was found only by analyzing the spectrogram, which was embedded in the audio of the ending theme. Fans’ speculation started to raise questions about whether all the other ending themes also have a hidden message in them or not. This finding was an easter egg for them.
The Illusive Portrayal of Makima in the Soundwaves
The surprising fact came to view with a thorough analysis of the spectrogram in the ending theme that gave a visual representation of sound frequencies. A user @chainsawpedia on X (formerly Twitter) found out that there was a hidden image within the audio waves, which gave the figure of the Public Safety Devil Hunter, Makima. It encapsulates the series’ unpredicted surprises and hidden meanings.
This finding was remarkable to fans as they were starting to resolve the complicatedness of Makima’s character in the series. It produces a shocking alarm of her omnipresence and overshadows her role as a puppet master in the Chainsaw Man series. The audio’s play trick took the concept of storytelling to a new level.
By discussing the various implications coming from this single hidden message the fan community started to share their own spectrogram. Some have begun to review earlier ending themes in search of similar hidden content. This turned into a treasure hunt for the fans.
Makima’s Omnipresence Takes on New Meaning in Chainsaw Man
The hidden content made it clear how Makima’s overarching presence has influence throughout the series. She has manipulated and controlled those around her, particularly the protagonist Denji. The idea of audio’s hidden message proves that her capabilities extend beyond the matrix.
The clever use of this technique to hide the content in the spectrogram is not unusual in the anime verse, but it is definitely new for Chainsaw Man. It showcased an amazing level of thought and creative work done for the show’s production from visually pleasing graphics to spooky kinds of music.
For those who are not familiar with Makima. She is regarded as one of the most complex and morally suspect characters with a charming look. Her existence and desire remain covered in mystery. Thus the hidden message makes the finding much more interesting.
As the news of this spreads throughout the anime community, it makes one thing certain, the series will continue to surprise and delight the viewers to the same degree. It is also clear that Tatsuki Fujimoto and the production team are fully committed to providing a rich multifaceted experience for the anime enthusiasts.
Chainsaw Man is available to watch on Crunchyroll as of 17th Aug 2024.
