Denji was definitely smart for someone with his brash sort of demeanour and antics.
Street smart though.
He knows when to haggle for a 14¥ Apple, Or knows when to avoid a street-fight, he knew how to code-switch, he knew how to make a quickbuck by being a "plug".

"Well why do you, you know, do everything you do?" Yoshida ask first. They both stop walking.
"I grew up like that, Working for the underground isn't easy- I guess I picked up some stuff from child'hood "
"That makes sense, and—".
" I know, Why do you act the way you do" Yoshida was slightly unsettled he might as well deem it as a insult.
