The "Makima Is Listening" meme originates from the popular manga and anime series *Chainsaw Man*. It features the character Kishibe holding a notepad, which is typically edited to display the phrase "Makima is listening." The original panel shows Kishibe saying "I lost my fangs a long time ago," while the notepad initially says "is listening." The meme's meaning stems from Makima's pervasive and manipulative nature in the series, where she often seems to be aware of events and conversations, even when not present. It is used to humorously imply that a powerful or cunning individual (Makima or another entity substituted in the meme) is secretly monitoring a situation, conversation, or group. The meme highlights a sense of being under surveillance or the omnipresence of a controlling figure, often used for comedic effect in discussions or online interactions.
