(after all Fujimoto literally put them in his own karaoke place)

Here’s an edit from Ninjarastic so you too can experience how fun this scene is

No but you guys, the significance of the abrasive and crass song is very much just what the song is: a violent outcry at the pervasive sexualization of youth and theft of agency from children.

It decries the commodification of sex in our society: forced to work, put out of a job - sex is sold as a reprieve, as a business onto itself.

As Denji is attacked by older generations, much like the song, he lashes out. His agency, happiness, desire and sexuality are taken from him; he is used and punished for it in equal measure. It's something he's been struggling with his whole life.

(Denji and Pochita being stabbed by a mob of empty, hungry zombies who turned to gain power, taking their dreams from them, and Makima's manipulation of Denji's sexuality for her own purposes)

There is also something to say about this new girl being a mix of all the girls he's been in sexual or romantic contact with, mostly through trying to get him to do something in exchange for sexual favors, but also romantically, her strong physical resemblance to Asa and Reze

Is this what being normal is like? Having not a single moment to yourself, work killing you, the older generations constantly keeping you down, your sexuality never being free, even as you push against the cage? Well, maybe, but Denji is at least having fun with her despite it all.
