If you go with the theory that Dazai came from a super rich family and changed his identity once he was no longer with them, what if Bruce had met Dazai before he was Dazai?

Lol the whole "rich old-money Tsushima family" theory is very beloved to me, though im not sure how true it will end up. I have this inkling that Dazai's backstory is Not as dramatic as other's characters, but also at the same time!

Theory that Dazai was a rich kid with his parents having been tied in some way to the mafia (just like the Wayne family!) and then they suddenly die and at somepoint he is put under the care of Mori who's a trusted personal doctor of the family (and runs an underground clinic JUST like Leslie Thompkins, the Wayne's trusted doctor who runs an underground clinic on Park Row), and gosh thinking abt this potential backstory, dont you think about how if Alfred wasn't around, and Leslie was more of a control freak, she and kid Bruce would have marched up to Carmine Falcone's bedroom, slit his throat, and taken over the biggest organized crime family in Gotham. Oh. That's a cool batman au wait.

Ahh well anyways. Bruce meeting kid Dazai sometime during his misc. time going around the world and learning different fighting techniques and kid Daz or Shuuji or whatever being the. troubled. kid he is gets absolutley facinated by Bruce's quest for justice or whatever.

#NO NO BUT HEAR ME OUT #i have this theory: #Yokohama-elite Tsushima family gets tragically killed. #young shuji gets orphaned by the horribly traumatic event. his depression gets worse. his entire sense of morality gets tilted on it's axis #and shuuji is a smart cookie! he knows his family's money isnt honest. and his parents were involved with the port mafia. #and he knows that the Old Boss. who's been on a paranoid reight of terror in yokohama was responisble for his parents death. and he wants #VENGENCE! #well less death bc to dazai there's nothing more painful than losing the people he loves!! so he rather die than experience any more pain #enter Mori! who saves him and probably mentors him in many ways and shares his sentiments abt the mafia's Boss. so! he stikes a deal #'i'll take the knife and you can just watch. the port mafia will be in our hands in no time' dazai goes along with this plan because #a. he doesnt care either way b. he wants the man responsible for his parent's deaths dead. therfore! time to welcome the new leadership! #<- thus making dazai Asagiri's take on batman #ask
