#is it meta squared if im also in a way making assumptions on the idea of my perceived characterisation of denji? oh fujimoto your mind

One of my favorite things about this arc from Part 2 is how Denji has a perpetual face of someone who's stumbled into the wrong room by accident and is completely out of the loop.

Which is precisely the point.

Denji is part of a narrative where everyone else is treating him as the idea of the (diegetic) character of "Denji/CSM". A narrative where he is supposed to play the character of "Denji/CSM".

This is no longer about the protagonist's story, but the story of the idea of him.

Denji is now a stranger in his own narrative.
