I think the people saying Denji just regressed and everything is pointless are missing the point. It's negative character development. He's way more devil-like now, I don't think part 1 Denji would have done this. #csm191

There is no such thing as he does this because he's human/he goes that way cuz he's a devil. Everything he does is 200% human. Just like Fumiko and this guy. As is literally anything Nayuta and Angel do 200% devil behavior.
No, there's definitely a difference between how humans are characterized in csm and how most devils are. When humans do evil they usually have some kind of ideology reason for it, even if it's just to convince themselves they're right. I don't think you could have a devil version of Yoshida.
I'm not saying Denji is acting like this because he literally has a devil heart if you thought that. It's because of his personality and traumatic experiences.
I get it ye, what he does makes perfectly good sense but his shenanigans don't take him at all to the other side, unless we were equaling devildom = trauma.
Judging by how he treated the tree people in Aging's world he does not have much respect left for human life. He was torturing them when before he refused to kill a bunch of civilians for attacking him and felt terrible for killing Santa's dolls.
what if Death manages to be the kindest horseman, could that allude to the allegory of the kiss of death, or yknow, a merciful/peaceful death for Denji as a means to escape from all the pain/trauma he’s been suffering throughout the series
Kind of difficult to say that someone still idk half a day at most removed from finding out his little sister was murdered acting irrationally is devilish.

Denji is as much "devil like" as any human is inherently a cruel and deceitful creature.
