In the 167th chapter of the Aging Devil arc, Yoru renews her offer to remove Denji's sex drive with a makeshift knife. When she reaches into his pants to crush him, a buried recollection surfaces, and the two unexpectedly begin making out in the alley.
Picking up a scrap from the ground, Yoru shapes it into a knife, hiding from Denji that she used her power to do so before walking up to him. Still rattled by her offer to cut off his penis, he hears her ask once more whether he truly wants his sex drive gone. Told to drop his pants, Denji panics, backs out of the bargain, and knocks the blade from her grip. Yoru retaliates by thrusting her hand into his pants, meaning to crush his testicles. That act, however, dredges up something buried in her mind, namely the kiss she once gave him back at his old apartment. She plants another kiss on the bewildered Denji, the two fall into making out, and Yoru begins pleasuring him. A short while later, Denji climaxes onto her hand.
Yoru secretly forges a knife and presses Denji again to let her end his sex drive, but he refuses and disarms her.
Reaching to crush him, Yoru is overtaken by the memory of their earlier kiss. She kisses him anew, the pair make out, and Denji ejaculates on her hand.

Look, the origins of this viral showdown trace back to a single tweet that playfully juxtaposed Reze's enigmatic allure against Bakugo's expl...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
