Denji's Father is an unnamed man who was the father of Denji. He serves as a posthumous character pivotal to Denji's character and background throughout the story.

Appearance[]

Of the little that is seen of him, Denji's father seemed to have the same hair color and style as his son.

Personality[]

Little is known of his personality, as he was deceased prior to the chronological beginning of the plot. Makima describes him as an abusive alcoholic, who was violent enough with Denji to the point where he was killed by his own son in self-defense.

It is also implied that he had an addictive personality, losing large amounts of money to the Yakuza resulting in a massive debt which Denji later inherited.

Plot[]

History[]

When Denji was young, he killed his father out of self-defense, as his father was in a drunken aggressive state and he feared for his life. His father's murder was ruled a suicide by the adults in Denji’s life as acknowledging his death as a murder would mean they would be unable to get any money from his death. After his death, Denji inherits his debt to the Yakuza.[1]

Intro arc[]

When resting in an abandoned shack with Pochita after killing the Tomato Devil, Denji remembers the time when he visited his father's grave with the Debt Collector. He also recalls the Debt Collector mentioning that his father hung himself while reminding him to pay his father's debt.[2]

Control Devil arc[]

Makima, when revealing her intentions to Denji, reveals that she investigated his past and knows that his father died not from suicide, but rather from being killed at Denji's hands in an act of self-defense. His supposed suicide was, in reality, a ruse created by the Yakuza in order to have Denji inherit his debts.

Denji had been repressing this fact behind a psychological barrier, which is represented by a closed door, and when the memory comes to light, Denji sees himself as a child, standing over his father's wounded and bleeding corpse.[1]
