Makima was a perfected example of the Japanese idea of femininity. Like a walking stereotype she never broke protocol rules until a minute before her death. So much was she drilled with that strict traditionalism that even when being stronger than the Gun Devil she still submits
not many people notice it but the difference between makima and kishibe’s sitting pose shows that she respects kishibe as a senior. you can see she sits in seiza style while kishibe is more relaxed/chill
