Both by Tatsuki Fujimoto and by Yoshihiro Togashi are some of 's most popular manga, delighting fans with their creative plots and engaging characters.

. Given that she has never been able to form a relationship in which she is not holding power, she has little regard for human lives, but she is obsessed with Chainsaw Man who she hopes will eliminate all the evils of the world. Hisoka has a similar disregard for human life but differs in his obsessions. Hisoka is attracted to powerful and potentially powerful people, who he delights in defeating in battle.

In chapter 393 of down to a movie theater and tries to convince him not to interfere in the gang war between the various Kakin crime families by picking a fight with the Phantom Troupe. While their conversation is very interesting, even more interesting is that Hisoka seems to be in the theater just because he casually wants to watch a movie.

Makima isn’t affected by most films, but the few that do touch her affect her greatly, even causing her to cry. Given how in her real relationships, movies provide her with a unique experience that she can only wish for in reality.

It could even imply that Togashi, who is a very influential older mangaka, might have been influenced by the much newer Fujimoto’s work. No matter what the reason for it, this minor similarity between Hisoka and Makima is a very fun detail for fans of both and to appreciate and speculate on.
