Makishima is the kind of guy who's fascinated by humanity's darkest impulses—cruelty, savagery, all of it. He wraps this obsession in a veneer of humanism, but really he's drawn to the worst in people. As an anarchist, he's dangerous in multiple ways: his schemes are calculated and ruthless, and he's equally lethal in a direct fight. What makes him genuinely scary is his charisma. He's a natural evangelist with an almost supernatural ability to convince people, backed up by an impressive way with words and narrative.
He's a voracious reader and loves quoting literature, dropping references to classic works into conversation like it's nothing. His signature weapon is a barber's razor with intricate engravings along the handle—simple but effective, and very on-brand for someone who appreciates the finer points of violence. Fans often note that his combination of intellectual sophistication and actual brutality is what sets him apart; he's not just smart, he's genuinely compelling in a way that makes his nihilism feel almost reasonable.
