hey, so, I regret disappearing from these reactions for a minute, but I'm back now... this is about where the season has built up enough material that I can start really talking anyway, so I figure this is as good a time as any to jump back into it!
this is the episode where I really started feeling sorry for Denji, because like... I think that what Denji actually wants is pretty obvious. he's looking for genuine affection. he got what he "wanted" from Power, but... no he didn't. he did the physical act of touching her, but there was no emotion to it... no care. to anyone watching this situation, the emotionally sterile nature of the deal was obvious. but I think Denji has a harder time seeing that, and it's not just because he's stupid. Denji could imagine this sort of encounter all he wanted, but I think his life has taught him that he _had_ to pay, if he ever wanted it to happen to him for real. he doesn't know how people become loved... he has no experience with it, and doesn't know how it works. all he knows is that nobody would ever want it from him, just for being himself. instead, it's all about transactions, bartering, or trading. he's been trained to expect that no one wants anything to do with him, if he doesn't incentivize it with some form of payment. and since childhood, this became his normal.
from the beginning, we've seen Denji live off of scraps, not just in terms of physical resources, but in terms of meaningful relationships. in the first episode, he basically says that someone as poor as him has no shot at dating, because he's completely undesirable. but more than that... his self worth is 100% transactional, in a very literal way. he knows how much money each of his body parts is worth. he has the expectation that people will rip him apart and take pieces of him, even knowing that it hurts him, and his quality of life is irrelevant.
and so, he made that deal with Power... "I'll get your cat back if you'll let me touch your chest" is just another transaction. without the payment, Denji knows he couldn't expect the end result. he knows that nobody finds him worthy of anything... he's always had to put up some form of collateral. but even when he pays for the act, it doesn't mean anything. he wants to receive some form of genuine sentiment... but he doesn't know how to give sentiment either.
it all goes back to his financial insecurity. he grew up in a situation where nothing was truly his. if he had anything valuable, it was instantly forfeit, due to the massive debt he was saddled with. so he learned to desensitize himself to loss, remove his expectations of ever keeping anything, and never truly feel desire or affection for anything... not so much that losing it could hurt him. losing everything was a foregone conclusion. even losing Pochita hasn't really hit him the way it would hit a normal person. how could he have ever expected to keep something that good?
but this leads to these massive intimacy issues, where Denji isn't willing to invest hope, or love, or desire into any particular person. and he doesn't realize what the roadblock is. why isn't this thing he wanted actually satisfying to him? why isn't there any warmth, or comfort? this is the way that Denji has been dehumanized, in every sense of the word. and then Makima comes in, and plays right into it.
she shows him the kind of physical intimacy that would actually feel good. something that comes from observing people, and figuring out what they respond well to, at least on a physical level. you can almost believe the affection is there. but as soon as she gives him even just the smallest taste, it's "kill the gun devil, Denji." because nothing is ever free. nobody would give Denji anything just for being Denji. there's always a catch. it's the transaction again. and Makima knows how much importance Denji puts on this goal of achieving physical intimacy... so she sets the price sky high. but this is actually a transaction that Denji is already familiar with.
being willing to put himself in danger used to be the only thing anybody ever thought was valuable about him. he made the bulk of his money devil hunting with Pochita, and people paid him well, because nobody else wants to do that job. facing things that are dangerous and scary was the only worth that Denji could squeeze out of his meager life. so when someone asks him to hurt himself for them, he doesn't bat an eye, or think it's weird at all. he doesn't question it, even a little bit. if someone truly cares for you, they should want to keep you out of danger, not send you into it. but nobody has ever really wanted to protect him before. Denji has only ever had maybe one other entity that wanted to keep him safe... and Pochita ended up dead. Denji couldn't keep him. he couldn't protect him. there's no sense in giving care that will be guaranteed to cause you grief later.
as long as Denji doesn't feel affection, he'll never feel the fear of loss. as long as you never expect to be treated well, you'll never fear being treated poorly. if you're at rock bottom, even being told to eat a cigarette for pocket change makes you feel like it's your lucky day. and in a world where fear lends power to the enemy, being desensitized to it is a pretty steep advantage. the only cost is all of the love that Denji could be feeling if he ever aimed high enough to let something really matter to him.

Hello again, I'm ready to answer your questions (no spoilers). 1) The anime cut out the information about how many specific Gun Devils killed from each country and how long it took for each country to die, the anime only said the general figure of 5 minutes 1.2 million dead. Here's the list: Japan - 27 seconds, 57912 dead: United States - 124 seconds, 548012 dead: China - 37 seconds, 316932 dead: Canada - 7 seconds, 8481 dead: Soviet Union - 210 seconds, 155302 dead: Hawaii - 0.4 seconds, 780 dead: Mexico - 2 seconds, 6088 dead: India - 15 seconds, 29950 dead. 2) You might have a question, since the gun devil is so strong and caused such great destruction, then what about demons with more terrible concepts like death and nuclear weapons and so on ..., why did they not show themselves and do not cause great destruction? Well, this question will be indirectly answered in the upcoming film about Chainsaw Man, which will be a direct continuation of season 1 or in season 2. 3) And so the demon Ghost, well, I think there is no point in explaining why people are afraid of ghosts. I will explain about his abilities, namely invisibility and intangibility, quite consistent with the concept of ghosts. Let's start with invisibility, he can turn it off if he wants to show himself to people, now regarding intangibility, he can touch others, but at the same time they cannot touch him and, accordingly, cannot physically harm him, but if you see further in the series how someone manages to harm him, then there are quite understandable reasons for this. 4) By the way, did you read my previous comment explaining episode 4 of Chainsaw Man?
