Four Horsemen

Warning: This page contains major spoilers for the Chainsaw Man series. Please read at your own risk.

The Four Horsemen (4人の騎土) was a group of four powerful devils that represent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Christian mythology.

Makima is heavily implied to be one of the Four Horsemen, due to her and the Conquest Horsemen sharing the same name in Japanese, which is domination (支配). There’s also many implications that she was affiliated with the Four Horsemen and was present during the battle of the Four Horsemen with the Weapon Devils against Pochita. She is even indirectly mentioned the three other horsemen by the fears that they embody, and how she intends to wipe them all out of existence.

History
The Four Horsemen are shrouded in mystery, even Makima’s past is mostly unknown, with very little information provided by Makima herself, except the fact that she was raised by the power-hungry government. The Four Horsemen and the Weapon Devils once engaged in a brutal battle against Pochita in Hell but at the height of the battle, Pochita vanished and is reduced to a completely changed, near-death form and somehow ended up on Earth, making the Four Horsemen unable to find him.
