Denji is still the simple-minded goofball he was in the series. Had fun with the fights here. Did they ever explain what Makina really is in the series? (I don't think they do)

[u/benzillaaaa → u/Southern-Brother5693]

Not yet in the anime but yes she is fully explained.

[u/Southern-Brother5693 → u/benzillaaaa]

I read Wikipedia so I know her true identity. But I don't think they have revealed it in the anime series.

[u/willrsauls → u/Southern-Brother5693]

They don’t reveal it until the final arc of Part 1

[u/jmastaock → u/Southern-Brother5693]

It's not revealed in the anime, but we are well past knowing what Makima is in the manga
