The Chainsaw Man character most Gojo-like power has never been Makima

When fans of Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen talk about powerscaling, there is one popular discussion that seems to surface time and again. One assumption is to compare Fujimoto's scariest character, who has an ability comparable to Gojo Satarou and his Unlimited Void. While Chainsaw Man fans believe it to be Makima, as she is the Control Devil, who is the embodiment of domination itself.

But after taking a closer look at Gojo's power, Makima is not the one who could remotely stand up against him. Many fans believe it is Cosmo, the Halloween girl. And once you understand how Cosmo’s power truly works, the comparison becomes impossible to ignore.

Cosmo’s “Halloween” is Chainsaw Man’s closest equivalent to Unlimited Void

On the surface, Gojo’s Unlimited Void and Cosmo’s Total Understanding are built on the same terrifying principle: force your enemy to absorb more information than any conscious mind could ever hope to process. Both techniques drag the target into a pocket dimension, both strip away autonomy, and both overload the victim’s cognition so intensely that the battle effectively ends on the spot.

But the key difference that fans repeatedly point out is simple and devastating.

• Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen overwhelms your mind by making you feel like you’re perceiving everything.
• Cosmo in Chainsaw Man overwhelms your mind by making you actually understand everything in the universe.

This distinction matters. Unlimited Void is infinite in sensation; Halloween is infinite in content. Where Gojo gives you “endless detail of the information in front of you,” Cosmo gives you total comprehension of literally everything that exists inside the universe. That’s why victims collapse into a semi-catatonic loop, capable only of thinking and repeating the word “Halloween.”Makima has nothing even remotely like this.

Cosmo’s ability is permanent, scalable, and horrifyingly efficient

Makima’s toolkit, for all its broken versatility, never demonstrates true cognitive annihilation. She manipulates, compresses, dominates, and rewrites, but she never breaks someone’s mind through infinite knowledge, the way Cosmo does. Meanwhile, in Chainsaw Man Cosmo, he hits the following marks:

1. Permanence

Gojo’s domain ends when his domain ends. The brain overload stops. Cosmo’s Halloween does not. Once activated fully, the victim will stay trapped in their semi-catatonic knowledge loop until they die. Santa Claus is the perfect example: she burns alive, unable to even think of saving herself, because the only thought left in her universe is “Halloween.”

2. Multi-target potential

When Santa tried to transfer the damage to her puppets scattered across Japan, they all got affected. That means Cosmo’s power can potentially spread across multiple minds simultaneously, something Makima never demonstrates.

3. No defense, no counter, no escape

The only requirements appear to be eye contact and the victim repeating “Halloween” after Cosmo says it in Chainsaw Man. Once those conditions are met, the mind is gone. There is no contract, bargaining, resistance, or way to think of a counter move because the ability steals thought itself.

Cosmo vs. Gojo: a debate fans still love because it exposes how wild Chainsaw Man really is

Fans of both these fandoms have debates have spent thousands of words debating whether Halloween and Unlimited Void. People argue:

• Gojo’s is infinite; Cosmo’s is finite.
• Cosmo permanently breaks the brain; Gojo temporarily overwhelms it.
• Gojo affects crowds; Cosmo has only shown one confirmed victim at a time.

But the bottom line remains that Cosmo is the closest thing Chainsaw Man has to a “Gojo-like” ability. Not Makima. Not Darkness Devil. Not even Pochita’s fear-erasing power. In the end, Makima may dominate bodies and reshape the battlefield, but Cosmo dominates minds in a way that mirrors the core mechanics of Unlimited Void far more closely.

In fact, if you removed the word “Halloween” from the ability and just described the effect, most people would assume you were talking about a curse technique straight out of Jujutsu Kaisen. So when fans ask which Chainsaw Man character has the most “Gojo-like” power, the answer has never been Makima. It’s always been Cosmo, the quiet, smiling embodiment of infinite knowledge and cognitive collapse.
