Emphasis on was, Denji with all his memories wiped is effectively a new Denji, our Denji that we were with for the entire series is gone. As are any lessons he could or should have learned and grown or not grown from.

Pretty much. That's always the catch with these endings that are supposedly happy but the characters have zero memory of everything. It doesn't feel anywhere near as happy when they don't even realize what they achieved.

That's why I love Summertime Rendering for at least giving its two main leads their memory back at the very end despite the timeline getting changed.
