In an interview back in 2017 with the author of Blade of the Immortal, Tatsuki Fujimoto opened up about his attraction for irrational and dominant women who are in “higher positions than men.”
“I also like domineering and irrational women. In college, there was a girl who was mean to me, and then, one day at school, my bicycle had fallen over. I was wondering what happened when she said, ‘I knocked your bike over, ha ha ha!’ I was so happy.”
A tweet elaborated:
“Chainsaw Man” creator Tatsuki Fujimoto revealed he is working on a new manga with the theme of “Femme Fatale”, he really likes the idea of such a woman who is destroying everything along her way. But it’s far from finished as he has still a lot to draw.

In the interview, Fujimoto reminisced about an incident from his college days when a woman who used to be mean to him knocked his bike over. He also empathizes with Denji from Chainsaw Man due to both of their masochistic tendencies, who are in love with the intimidating Makima.

A femme fatale is a sub-genre where the characters in question are mysterious, beautiful, and seductive women who can often woo men with their killer charms. This usually means trouble for the men. However, for Fujimoto, he considers them an archetype of literature and art.
A Femme Fatale, in simpler terms, can be described as a woman having authority over a man because of her enchantress and seductive personality. These characters are primarily villainous and morally ambiguous.

An excellent example of this is Makima from Chainsaw Man. Fujimoto shared how he adores the idea of making a manga around such a character who destroys everything along her way. Some fans also speculated that he might be planning for a spin-off manga for Makima, but everything is a grain of salt until official announcements are made.
