I said it before, but removing/condensing ch 2 from the anime did a number on how first time viewers perceive Denji.
You miss out on great characterization/foreshadowing and a better understanding of why he feels stuck with Makima
i think one thing that goes under the radar is that fumiko was a VERY negative influence for him and his violent tendencies here. when she takes him to karaoke and he feels that adrenaline and danger, hes having the time of his life. like giving him a taste of his favorite drug
