Chainsaw Man: Makima, INTP.
Makima is INTP, like the author of Chainsaw Man. Fujimoto, Tatsuki. To understand such an idea it is necessary to understand one thing and one thing only, what is the manga about? what is the point of the story.
Chainsaw Man begins with the idea that the protagonist has a dream. This dream is noble, simple and is impossible for his hands to obtain such happiness. The story continues by telling us the adventures of our protagonist, Denji, a wild young man who doesn't know any better.
Because of his innocence... Denji is slaughtered, mutilated, and thrown in the trash. As if it were something without value, without purpose and without any future. Denji is replaceable and is treacherously executed by people who see him more as an object or a tool than as a young man. A young man in search of something, in search of a dream.
Eventually Denji finds a reason beyond himself, beyond what he was told he deserved. In the graveyard, Denji finds something that gives him a reason and strength to fight and die for, something worth living for.
They share this dream, how nice it would be to dream that such a dream is more than this sad reality. Lost in the forest of misfortune, Denji and his love pass the time, as a pastime. They have nothing but each other and that's why they have everything, except what they told him was forbidden.
When Denji survives or rather is reborn, he finds Makima's idea. In this idea Denji entertains himself, finds a world of infinite possibilities and sees the world for the first time. A machine his machination, his imagination begins to take on a life of its own. He could only obtain it in this way, being perfect and being the one who controls the cards that life denied him.
Makima's idea is perfection, control, the impeccable, what cannot be judged and is all powerful. What gives the freedom to be yourself. Every piece must move as one wishes, every piece has a value, and every piece can and should be replaced when the moment is the perfect moment. The majestically flawless and the perfect movement of absolute ideal. Fujimoto, Tatsuki has to be perfect to achieve said dream.
Denji is controlled by this self-created ideal, his wishes are his command. His whims are a objective and his ways will eventually be justified. Denji is controlled by his idea of being flawless, perfect and absolute. Denji ends up being one more piece. Which can be replaced, devalued and discarded when the moment requires it. Denji is the representation of the author's fury and passion, he is the counter idea of what is perfect. Denji is wild, stupid, unconscious, childish, absurd, in love and above all he is a welll... just a stray dog.
Denji keeps saying that he hates it when people talk bad about his dream. Denji hates being told that his dream is nothing more than a mundane thing and doesn't deserve to be called a dream. A dream above all is pure, and everything else is everything else.
When Denji realizes that this idea is consuming him and that this idea is only treating him as a tool, Denji decides to do something that very few would dare to do. Denji kills this idea and with it the chance to find such happiness or at least by that route. Because denji, Fujimoto Tatsuki, has realized that being perfect cannot be a dream. It's nothing more than a nightmare.
When Denji wakes up from his dream, the nightmare disappears. Denji hears the barking from his past again, they call him, claim him, lift him up and tell him stand up son of a bitch because you are not the only stray dog hereeeeeee and he is no longer chained, he is no longer anyone's pawn. He is finally free, from the idea of him, so cruel and so severe... and so unlike him.
Once again Denji hears the cars go by outside and he runs after them like the young man he just wanted to be once, like a dog chasing cars. So wild, so passionate, so bravely stupid and he finally remembers who he was before the world dares to tell him who he is. Denji returns to his consciousness and is finally able to continue dreaming a new dream. Or maybe it's the same dream.
