My last remaining hope for asa's recent characterization about her sudden unthoughtfulness (from a character who trait is overthinking) and extreme adaptation to the point of comformity has to do with famine's influence. Ever since she started working for the church asa has become indifferent and apathetic toward kiga actions as well the consequences of hers. Only last chapter asa reacted against yoru but that quickly brushed aside without further conflicts between them like an expected breaking point in their trust for each other. Who would accept on keep on living inside the same mind as her assaulter? who not only hurt you but the person you love?
In moments of huge revelations asa doesn't bother to think much about them: a initial reaction and she still keeps on working for the church/kiga, and well she doesn't reflect on her romantic conflicted feelings for denji/CSM. The guy who dumped you and, due to it, pushed you to suicide, is the same who save you and you been dedicating your life to...
One may say this is the result of character development due falling devil arc, but "progression" shouldn't feel this negative, plain and out of screen. Maybe it has to do with a trauma response but that option requires more work and time to elaborate on it. Either asa is just sadly getting eclipsed by denji to give him the maximun attention writting-wise, or she's been influenced by something else in the story. Like nobana said, after all she went through it's not normal to be this normal. Suddently, asa has become a fami-like person.
She has become less a human and more an animal who just accept anything coming to her. Losing her roof, personal belongings (important things like her mom memories) and her right arm, that just happened. Devils(!) aren't capable of feeling pain or sadness, quoting Barem. Isn't that just... tragically boring on purpouse? A case of devilhood where for denji is bloodlust and for asa is apathy at cruelty?
Maybe Asa has already starved and kiga molded her into her doll without no one noticing, and next on the list is Denji.

Part of Yoru’s offer to Asa was to give her life so she could live more selfishly and then Yoru steals Asa’s first kiss???? Whack :/

Chainsaw Man Chapter 156
It's been a hard two weeks for us, but it's been even harder for Denji...
Mr. Yoshida, welcome back, glad you're here to h-
Why do I even bother
Well, it looks like Public Safety is now roundly against Denji and his freedom (same as it ever was), not even Fumiko has an ounce of sympathy for our boy.
Legally no longer his own, his dear sister's fate unknown, without an ally in the world, and currently being stripped for parts (are they trying to run down his regeneration?), who is to be our young Hybrid's savior?
ASA MITAKA
IT'S A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU BACK!
unless it's a renegade Nayuta, I'm not the kind of perv who can differentiate girls by their ankles.
BUT IT'S BEEN A LONG FOUR MONTHS

Thinking about the date between Denji and Asa and like most of the fics I've read set it in a bar: what if the bar was the one where he went with Reze and consequently there are all the memories related to her?
As if there is still the same bartender, who is obviously happy that Denji has found one on his level - sounds offensive I think - and who continues to remember both Reze and Power, sending our protagonist into a spiral of truly painful memories. It's obviously in all of this that Asa would be a bystander who doesn't understand what's going on, but who through bits of Denji's speeches maybe understands that he's not just a half-criminal pervert, but that he's been through a lot.
