He was smitten with her and didn’t realize who she was.
Makima underestimated Denji and didn’t memorize his scent.
This is what led to her failure.
Makima/Denji twisted dynamics started very early in the series, and while Denji was completely smitten by Makima and couldn’t see what a monster she truly was, we, readers, understood how little she actually thought of him.
Denji was nothing to Makima
Makima treated Denji like a dog, and she didn’t even shy away from showing that. Moreover, she called him a dog and fed him like a dog. Makima knew that Denji was easy to manipulate due to his attraction to her, and she understood that he would be the most loyal pet for her as long as she gave him a chance to be by her side.
We have to admit that this strategy was working for quite some time. Denji was indeed amazed by Makima, her beauty and power, and he was eager to serve. Truly like a dog. But his eyes weren’t meant to stay closed forever.
It was completely over after Makima had killed Power, one of Denji’s best buddies. He managed to trick her and defeat her then, and it was an incredible moment. But how is he capable of beating someone as powerful as Makima?
Makima always underestimated Denji
While Makima could understand the power of the Chainsaw Devil, she thought very little of Denji. As we’ve said, he was just a loyal dog to her, and nothing more.
When Makima first met Denji, she noticed that he smelled like half human and half devil. Which means that she can use smells to identify people and devils around her.
However, she didn’t realize that she was fighting Pochita, and not Denji, which allowed him to suddenly attack her. Some fans think that it was a plot hole, but we disagree.
Denji himself said that he decided to risk everything because he believed that Makima had never truly cared for him, so she couldn’t remember his scent. Makima paid little attention to Denji because she never thought she’d need that. He was nothing to her. But she was wrong.
That’s how not bothering to memorize Denji’s scent led to Makima’s defeat. Had she been more careful, and had she seen Denji as a real threat, she would have remembered what he smelled like and realized that the whole thing was a ruse. But she didn’t, and that became the reason for her failure.
