the reason why i want kenji and chuuya to interact so bad is that they are both so selfless that it hurts them, they both try to understand other people, help them, and think so much about other people in their life rather than themselves.

the way that that chuuya embraces anger as a defense mechanism and how kenji uses optimistic behavior as a defense mechanism so it can it can bottle up his anger is so interesting to me. then they're both so strong at a young age and had to persevere through so much like ugh.. the way that chuuya forgave verlaine after what he did to him and the way kenji chose to help tecchou after what he did to him..

and it's like you see them interact in wan and anthlogy. they get along so well there and i feel like they would in main manga too. they're both so understanding and like the parralels between corruption & kenji's unhinged side of his ability like.

they would be such a power duo.

I touched a little on Dazai in the first post so I'm gonna add some more examples to that.

Mafia Dazai, black coat worn over the shoulders. He is a member of the mafia, but eventually, he leaves. Unlike other characters, he is not tied down to the mafia and does not see himself as purely mafia. Even if his blood is "port mafia black." His loyalties sway, he might be mafia, but he is not loyal to Mori.

When Dazai is with Oda, he doesn't have a coat. With Oda, he isn't a port mafia members, he's just a kid. He's not a demon prodigy or a monster, he's just Dazai. He doesn't need a coat because there is no side, it's just him.

When Dazai joins the ADA and becomes a "Good person" he chooses to wear a light coat. Similar and somewhat resembling Odasaku as Oda was seen as "a good man." He wears his coat properly because he is committed to his loyalty to the ADA unlike his relationship with mori and the pm.

Dead apple Dazai. The colour might be white here but it does not fit the white as a "Good guy" colour thing. It's more being used as a colour to signify that they are a group. Much like the decay of angles who are "bad guys," but their main common colour is all white.

Once again, Dazai has sleeves and refuses to use them. We know that he was only playing them from the start. He is not loyal to this group.

Anyways that's all off Dazai with his coat.

His jail outfit is a whole different thing because for starters it's a uniform for the prison so it can't really follow the same guidelines for coat theory.

guys order of the clock tower arc is going to be wild you know

agatha christie, charles dickens, JANE AUSTEN guys i hope we get to see pride and prejudice as an ability

maybe they can even sneak oscar wilde in (i know that he's from ireland but come on) he would be such a sass king god he would rival dazai on that one

i want sheakespeare to be there too and please god let asagiri make him speak that way

you know, like "whomst could haveth seenth this come forth, that blessid ben thei that suffren persecusioun for riytfulnesse, for the kingdam of heuenes is herne" or something like that and then everyone just stares at him while he confidently holds his head high like he made a genius point and then agatha just sighs and translates and turns out he just said something like "what are we having for dinner"

but during a crisis or an important scene he suddenly speaks perfect modern english, zero goofiness, which makes it at least 50x more impactful

make it happennnn

Remember that one scene where Poe said he wouldn't know what to do with himself if he actually managed to kill Ranpo?

I feel like that's exactly the type of situation we are now seeing with Nikolai's reaction to Fyodor's (possible) death.

If Poe had succeeded in defeating Ranpo he would be just as lost as Nikolai is right now and if Fyodor had survived (and continued to survive in the future) Nikolai would have the same type of playful rivalry with him as Poe and Ranpo currently have.

PM and ADA deal Theory

Hey guys, friendly reminder that Mori is likely still gonna ask for someone from the ADA to join the PM. It honestly hurts my soul to think that the ADA will lose someone this soon after all the shit in this arc went down but Mori isn’t one to care about that kind of stuff. 

SEASON FIVE SPOILERS

This is about 1.7k words so be warned

I know a lot of people are sold on the theory that it’ll probably be Tanizaki since Asagiri is big on foreshadowing and Tanizaki does have a homicidal side but I don’t think he’d let himself be put in a position to where his sister might be in danger or get a target on her back. He’d probably run away or kill the people in question before that happened. Not to mention since his run in with Akutagawa and the black lizard that he sort of hates most if not all of the mafia members. He was so ready to go to war with the PM to defend the agency and someone like this would be super hard to control, deal with the ADA or not.

Mori isn’t stupid, in fact he’s very calculating and very cunning and who are his biggest obsessions? He’s always so focused on Dazai and Yosano but both of these are off limits in his eyes. Yosano is off limits because of the terms of the deal with Fukuzawa and Dazai is off because Mori wants him to come back on his own. Now we have Kyouka, Atsushi, Kenji, Ranpo  and Kunikida left to choose from. 

Kunikida is off the table I think because he’s a child bombing away from just completely breaking. There is a part of me that believes Mori could pick Kunikida solely to break him and watch Fukuzawa and Dazai suffer but Mori is also the type of boss that doesn’t want to waste powerful allies if he doesn’t need to. I mean, he’s literally letting Tachihara choose his loyalties, he’ll probably still get punished severely but Mori isn’t one to just waste men unless it’s for good reason or worth the risks. Also Kunikida is Fukuzawa’s successor and something tells me that Mori doesn’t wanna deal with the strict moral types. 

Ranpo is definitely off the table. Fukuzawa would go batshit if Mori picked him. He just lost his childhood best friend. Do you think he’s gonna let Mori take his son next? No he will not. Also Ranpo would blatantly refuse to work with him. He’s smart enough to survive but Ranpo is disinterested in most things and Fukuzawa is really the only one who can make him do something. I don’t think Mori would want to deal with that either. 

Now we have Atsushi, Kenji and Kyouka. Mori usually chooses children to take under his wing because they’re easy to manipulate and easy to mold into his ideal subordinates. However Kyouka was already in the mafia once and Kouyou even used up her slight favor with Mori to let her leave the mafia with no consequences. I don’t think he’d want to deal with the hassle of internal conflict since Kouyou would be pissed if he took Kyouka away from the light that she enjoys so much. However much Kouyou wants to deny that she can’t help Kyouka anymore, she’s only human and she’s very much attached to the Kyouka who shares a similar past and ability. 

Kenji’s situation is kind of hard to determine. As stated, Mori does prefer to mold and manipulate children rather than adults but Kenji is kind of an oddity among humans. Not because of his ability but because of his personality. He’s very much a “you fuck around and find out” type of guy is willing to believe the best in people despite what they may do or have done. I don’t see many reasons why Mori wouldn’t choose him other than there are better options than Kenji. Sure Kenji is super powerful with a very useful gift but there are other members that would fit his goals better. 

Now Atsushi, he’s the biggest contender for the mafia recruit in my mind for a few reasons. Now we saw in the series that there were gonna be three main villains (The Guild, the Decay of Angels and the Order of the Clock Tower) and now we have finished out with two of them. This means that we’re possibly getting into the last major arc or two of the main plot of the story and there are still so many unanswered questions about Atsushi. 

Atsushi was deemed the envy of all ability users by Fyodor which was why Shibusawa originally held an interest in him. My question is why Fyodor was interested enough in Atsushi to know of him and what is their connection that Fyodor was even able to know of him. Fyodor is a genius but the orphanage headmaster said that he was a randomly dumped toddler and he lived most of his life in a cage in the orphanage. This in itself is fishy but I’ll get to that in a second. Moreover, Atsushi’s ability seems like it just resists almost all other abilities with the ability to cut through space itself and high regeneration abilities that causes most wounds to go away instantly when he’s in his full tiger form, most other abilities don’t affect him when he’s fully a tiger. 

Who is called the most powerful ability user? Natsume is, and he is able to turn into a cat. Seeing the pattern here? When did the headmaster die? When he was trying to find Atsushi and talk to him again. It’s very suspicious timing and I wholeheartedly believe that he was silenced by someone who didn’t want Atsushi knowing something important about himself. And then we have the seven billion bounty that was put on his head because of his ability. I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that Fitzgerald, who wanted to find The Book, wanted the tiger so badly that he was willing to spend that much. 

Asagiri is a beast at foreshadowing and he doesn’t do anything for kicks, all of his moves are deliberate. There is something about Atsushi that we’re missing and I’m willing to bet that Mori, who was going to accept the bounty, wants to know what it is as much as we do. Atsushi’s strange ability, the holes in his past from before the orphanage, Fyodor and Shibusawa’s interest in him, his correlation to Natsume, his probable connections to locating the book and the fact that Dazai was coincidentally there to save him when he came to Yokohama? Yeah, there’s definitely something up with Atsushi and the poor kid doesn’t even realize it. 

So yes, I do think that Mori either a) wants to figure out Atsushi’s situation in relation to everything or b) he knows something and wants to exploit it out of him. My second point is that Mori wants to break Dazai down and build him up as the perfect PM boss. Mori is someone who manipulates and breaks from the sidelines then watches conflict and in the aftermath, glues the pieces of what once was back together in a collage of his own liking. He knows he can’t beat Dazai but he can make him suffer. Who is Dazai the closest to at the agency? Atsushi. 

Dazai always says, “Atsushi and the others” while making sure Atsushi makes it out alive in any situation that he is in. Dazai has a big soft spot for Atsushi, the kid he took in as a mentor and the kid who wholeheartedly believes without any hesitation that he is a good person. He brought his own chair and made a home in Dazai’s heart without his permission. Atsushi knows he was in the PM, knows he’s the reason for a lot of Akutagwa’s issues, knows about some of the atrocities he’s committed but still smiles genuinely at him. Of course he doesn’t know everything but Atsushi is probably Dazai’s biggest apologist (It’s not Akutagawa but that's for a different post). Atsushi is the personification of Oda’s last wish to Dazai and Mori definitely knows that he can hurt Dazai by hurting his beloved mentee.

Mori is also very aware of the new generation of soukoku. If he’s able to wrangle and manage Akutagawa (he’s alive shut up) a little more because Atsushi is his partner then all the more reason to choose him. Atsushi covers all the bases, a mysterious power that could make his organization that much more untouchable, mess with Dazai, mess with the agency and manage his own employees better. It doesn’t help that Atsushi’s mental state isn’t the best. He’s not a kid but he’s traumatized and doesn’t have the same development other 18 year olds do, and that can be just as easily to manipulate as a child. It would be difficult because Atsushi genuinely believes in Dazai with everything he is but every person is able to break and Mori is especially good at that. 

I know that Fukuzawa’s ability is the reason we don’t see any more late night weretiger situations but Atsushi has so much more control now than when he did at the beginning of the series. It’s also very much possible that Mori is looking for a degree of uncontrollable tiger to help him with his goals. It’s also been confirmed that pain can manage his transformations as seen with his collar in BSD BEAST. 

It also doesn’t help that Asagiri tends to go through the trauma route to have his characters develop and experiencing the “darkside” of Yokohama just may be what he thinks Atsushi needs to develop more. 

So yeah, I think Mori may choose Atsushi as the new PM member but don’t quote me on this if I’m wrong, it’ll be embarrassing. They also may just throw this plotline out the window since both sides suffered this past arc, they may find it illogical to go through with the deal when the truce between the PM and ADA is still sensitive but I doubt it. Mori isn’t one to care for those things.

Piano: what? No, it’s because I kill people with piano strings

So Dostoyevskys ability is.. when someone tries to kill him they die instead?

So the soldier is dying because he tried to kill Dostoyevsky?

So you simply can’t kill him? Just like with Dazai?

And here maybe this is the vampire from the helicopter?

This is a reminder that:

BSD characters may look cute (like Kenji, Poe, Chuuya) but let's not forget that's for the anime style!

Like Poe is treated like he didn't take out an assassin and act perfectly, tricking the hunting dogs with Ranpo but he is shy and scared?? That man isn't scared, he may look like it but he was in guild, that (could) means he may or may not have killed someone before.

Then Chuuya, fandom started to treat him more like his canon self than how they did before, I agree. But still? Chuuya literally broke a wall with hd bare strength and wasn't even using his ability back then! (First season when Dazai was chained) And fandom sometimes forgets how strong he really is.

Also Kenji, that boy is treated like he is not strong while if you look closely you can see similarities between his and Chuuya's abilities (except the main gravity and strength part): both is have a controlled form and a corrupted form. Kenji's isn't as bad as Chuuya's but it's still similar. Also in manga I think how Fukuzawa found him was cause he moved a mountain or something (I didn't read that volume yet, so it may not be true) so his ability is scary and strong.

Gin also looked as a soft girl in fandom while she is literally an assassin! She can kill someone before that person can understand what happened! (I think it's mentioned/ referred in season 2 when higuchi was trying to find Akutagawa and get confronted by Tachibara, Gin, and Hirotsu)

There are more characters who just get soft boy/girl treatment while they literally are a strong, well written and overall not very "soft" characters

(they may be soft towards the people they knew but it still doesn't change their character or who they are or what they can do)

Coat theories!!! Akutagawa's turn!!!

Now you knight think, Akutagawa has one coat and he wears it all the time.

He does, but he doesn't. He has his coat, but on occasion, he gives it up.

His black coat is given off to Atsushi, leaving him with a white shirt.

I do not remember where I was going with this, I've been thinking about it all day and idk what my original thought process was.

These images are just chillin in my phone tho.

Something about ying and yang. Black and white. Morals and changing allegiances for the good of thw world or somtjinf.

And now my auto correct is on cfa m FUCK. *crack

I will just post this and try to fix the mess later. Enjoy

Also something something Atsushi despite being against the pm values using the power associated with death to do good + Akutagawa using his death ability to further the actions that Atsushi takes and trusting atsushi completely.

[cloverandstuff]

// ch 113 spoilers

Alright, my own little theory and people are fully allowed to correct me on any of it.

Fyodor was revealed to have been around for a very long time. He was around when Rome was still standing and when Bram still had his people.

Point is, he's old.

But a point to note is that, although it is stated that he looks the same age as before, he doesn't have the scar in the anime.

At no point in the manga or anime before this chapter does Fyodor have this scar on his face. (And the scar does looks like it's a healed scar, like on Fukuchi. Meaning, it has been on him for a while.)

And they also talk about killing him, in the flashback in 113.

Assuming that they actually went through with it, and killed Fyodor-

I think this might mean is that, Fyodor isn't necessarily immortal so much as he is incapable of staying dead.

His ability may be something that allows him to resurrect himself, and return himself to his original body.

He can still get injured, he can still get scars and be limited by abilities. Hell, he can be fully killed, torn limb to limb and be proclaimed dead. He's not immune to all that. He is just immune to permanent and traditional death.

I'm not sure how this might connect to his ability to seemingly kill others with a touch. I might read the book "Crime and Punishment" to see if I can get anything from that.

It might even be possible that Fyodor's immunity to staying dead might not even be his ability, and it's just him being something inhuman. His true ability might be the touch of death thing he has going on.

But I do think this is all connected to how he seems to think of death as some kind of salvation, especially for those who have abilities or were affected by them in a negative manner.

It also might explain why he wants to eradicate the existence of all abilities.

Because he think of death as this kind of salvation, and something that inherently belongs to every human.

If an ability can overcome 'The Great Silence', then it must be against the nature of God, right? Why ruin the sanctity of death, why ruin the rules that govern the world? Abilities must be eradicated, and that means anyone who has an ability and was directly affected by the ability must be eradicated as well. Because they are no longer 'of God's world'.

Well, these are all my thoughts on all this. I really encourage y'all to share your thoughts cause I'm going crazy with theories.
