The Chainsaw Man series, loved by fans since it started in 2018 by Tatsuki Fujimoto, became super popular. It sold 5.2 million copies worldwide in 2021.
Now, as the next part of the story gets closer and the anime version comes out, even more people are interested in the series.
The story’s main character, Denji, fights scary devils in intense battles and has funny conversations with characters like Power.
One character, Makima, has a big separate fanbase among the most loved characters in the series. Some might not know this, but there’s a connection between Makima and Patrick Bateman from the famous movie American Psycho starring Christian Bale, which made $34 million.
Analyzing the Parallels Between Makima from Chainsaw Man and Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
Makima looks like a friendly and calm woman who often wears a smile and acts confident, even in tough times. She talks professionally to her workers and hides her true Devil nature by pretending to be a human hired by a Devil.
Makima is a lot like Christian Bale’s character, Patrick Bateman, who’s famous for being a psychopath. They’re both certified psychopaths.
Bateman is a rich investment banker who pretends to be normal but is actually a serial killer. Makima also works in the business world and puts on a fake persona at work.
Strangely, they both commit murder in their workplaces. What’s more, they both wear suits and ties, and fans have noticed this.
The Sartorial Similarity Between Patrick Bateman and Makima
A fan noticed the similarities between Chainsaw Man’s Makima and Patrick Bateman and discussed it in a Twitter post shared by @CSM_analysis. The user was specifically addressing Makima’s attire in the series, which resonates with humans.
The user explained they think Makima’s outfits help show how much she cares about looks and “acting a certain way,” with strict ideas about how humans should be. Makima’s conservative dressing style complements her personality well.
I always think that most of her trait is inspired by patrick bateman, but less unhinged. She’ll do anything to erase anything thar is unprefect for human and the world, that jnclude erasing bad films. So of course she would dress perfectly too i think. pic.twitter.com/rwBpnB5rk5

One fan replied they think her traits are inspired by Patrick Bateman but less extreme. She tries to make everything perfect for people and the world, even erasing bad films, so she dresses perfectly too same as Patrick Bateman, according to the user.
