>Denji into cartoon villain territory
Bro, look at picrel. It's straight out of Tom and Jerry or Looney Toons. He's already a walking cartoon, as for villain he achieved that status when he tried to kill Asa in cold blood.
>that is also a decision that can justify the killing of Denji from Asas perspective
You're right, but Fujimoto might do this. Lets say Death offers him a favor but only one, and Nayuta's revival is involved. The answer is cut short and left off-screened like many conversation scenes in Part 2, and as such we don't know which favor Denji chose. We're left to speculate. We just see him go and follow her orders and attack Asa for "some" reason. You would be saying he did it for Nayuta because the cliff-hanger ends in him making a chocked face once Shi mentions she can bring the dead back to life. This implies he's doing it for Nayuta, but come 10 chapters later and we find out he did it for a harem. That's kinda how off-screened scenes and cliffhangers are used, for pushing ambiguity until the horrible reveal.
