Rewatching this series has allowed me to notice the quite frankly hilarious exchange between Kunikida & Jun’ichirou during Atsushi’s entrance exam.

Jun’ichirou is trying to act tough with threatening Kunikida until he—out of nowhere, says this shit:

And Kunikida, understandably, is like excuse me??

Now, you can see the exact moment Jun’ichirou realizes he fucked up. Idk how much improv experience Tanizaki has, but I doubt he intended to make his demand that kinky, and it shows.

But it’s too late to change his bad boy act now, so he doubles down.

At this point, you can tell Kunikida takes a moment to lower his blood pressure, before he just resigns with a “this may as well happen” sort of face.

Like IMAGINE. You tell your colleague to pretend to be a psycho bomber and he asks you to do THIS shit??? Like Tanizaki do you have something you wanna share with the class?

You gotta hand it to Kunikida for keeping a straight face the whole time though, goddamn. He may be a tightass, but he committed to that role.

#and poor atsushi. who has never witnessed a crime before. is like ‘i am uncomfortable & i would like to leave.’ #like YEAH buddy UNDERSTANDABLE #bungou stray dogs #bsd #bsdrewatch2023 #bsd rewatch #doppo kunikida #kunikida doppo #junichirou tanizaki #tanizaki junichirou #atsushi nakajima #nakajima atsushi #atsushi’s entrance exam #naomi tanizaki #tanizaki naomi #jun'ichirō tanizaki #tanizaki junichiro #junichiro tanizaki #bsd kunikida #bsd tanizaki #tanizaki bsd #kunikida bsd #neo queen serenity’s posts #bungo stray dogs #bungou gay dogs #jun'ichirou tanizaki #tanizaki jun’ichirou #bsd analysis #bsd meta

you know i think my biggest agenda as far as fanon & aus go has to be partyboy tanizaki. look at him. he's so unassuming you know he has something going on. once he was at a bar for a case with dazai (one of the scenes in the bonus story in untold origins) and kunikida lectured him about it and he was so startled. but i think my guy gets around. you want to party? he knows a guy. swears up and down that he's never ingested alcohol underage before but can drink atsushi under the table. how he does this is never explained because atsushi literally has regenerative tiger powers. taught atsushi how to apply waterline eyeliner because you have to dress right for a party. every time he comes into work hungover he brings ranpo donuts so that ranpo doesn't snitch.

The thing with Tanizaki Junichirou is that he isn’t boring, we just know next to nothing about him and why he’s the way he is. We know that he doesn’t consider himself brave, and that he claims that his ability isn’t suited for combat, which is actually severely underplaying his talents, if not an outright lie, because Light Snow absolutely is useful in combat, though we’re rarely shown this in practice, because Tanizaki tends to avoid direct combat. Unless Naomi is threatened, in which case he’d literally burn the world down to keep her safe.

credit to easygoingscans

Disregarding the squicky nature of their implicit relationship for a moment, Tanizaki’s devotion towards Naomi borders on obsessive, surpassing the extent of that which could be normal between either siblings or lovers. We can only speculate what kind of upbringing would have caused this.

We only really see glimpses of Tanizaki’s true capacity a few times. But it’s not just his ability that’s downright terrifying (crashing a civilian truck into Steinbeck, almost assassinating Mori during cannibalism), but his personality too. Tanizaki is always teetering on the edge of morality; he makes the conscious choice to be on the side of good, but he canonically offered to join the Port Mafia in Yosano’s place, which says a lot about what kind of person Tanizaki is. That’s not the kind of offer anyone could make if they were truly opposed to committing atrocities. Rather, Tanizaki making this offer is telling of the idea that although he understands where the line between right and wrong lies, he wouldn’t have second thoughts about crossing it, given a half decent reason.

I could argue than Tanizaki has roughly the same amount of ethical integrity as Dazai, that is to say, none at all. Their employment at the Armed Detective Agency happens to be a result of their conscious choice to be morally upright, in contrast to someone like Kunikida, who could probably never offer to join the Port Mafia, even if it were for the sake of an friend, due to his strict moral code.

Despite all of this, we know nothing about what made Tanizaki this way. We know that he used to be a student alongside Naomi, but that’s about it. Tanizaki’s innocuous previous profession tends to misdirect our thoughts away from reading deeply into Tanizaki. It creates an illusion of normalcy, you could say. But, upon second glance, it’s bizarre that Tanizaki could get written off as boring or simple, by both the characters in the story, and by us, the readers.

I think there is a lot of shots in the dark I could make at what kind of tragic backstory Tanizaki has been keeping secret, but I am going to conclude this post on an open ended note: What is Tanizaki hiding?

#tanizaki junichirou #junichirou tanizaki #bsd tanizaki #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd meta #bsd analysis #tanizaki might actually be the most batshit insane character in the series #I mean this in the nicest way possible #my shot in the dark for his backstory is that it might end up one of the most horrifying origin stories yet

[nihilo-sensei]

Some of Dazai's favorite things in the whole world are the moments when Atsushi and Kunikida's competing brands of being socially out of the loop collide. Atsushi was essentially incarcerated in an orphanage until he was 18 while Kunikida has always been hyper-focused on his ideals and goals. Whenever Atsushi runs into some slang or a meme he doesn't understand he asks Jun'ichirō or Yosano about it.

(He avoids asking Dazai 'cause he knows Dazai will just lie to amuse himself.)

When Juni and the doctor are unavailable, though, he asks Kunikida. That's normally fine, but when the questions veer into the crude and obscene without either of them knowing, amazing things happen. Dazai still hasn't recovered from the time a case led the agency to monitor an American message board with a little help from Google translate — and no help from Dazai despite him being fluent in English. Atsushi looked up at Kunikida and initiated an exchange that changed Dazai's life forever.

"Kunikida-san, what's a 'Cleveland Steamer'?"

"I don't know. Is it relevant to the case?"

"Maybe?"

"Hold on, I'll Google it."

Dazai's ribs hurt for days afterward.

Kunikida: You slept with Tanizaki?!

Atsushi: I didn't know what else to do! He has these big, sad eyes!

Ranpo: Wow, really sounds like you had no choice.

[xinesthetic]

Tanizaki's and Kunikida's friendship has got to be the most underrated dynamic so far. Literally has never seen anyone mention them despite the two definitely being close? We see them seemingly seamlessly work together both in Dead Apple (if I remember correctly) and DOA arc as well as Atsushi's entrance exam, both in anime and the novel. Like Tanizaki is Doppo's go-to when he needs extra hands for a plan or a scheme against Dazai and not only and you're telling me no one discusses that or thinks about it at all? Absolutely foul if you ask me

Personally would love to think that since Tanizaki is one of the younger ADA members Kunikida was the one to teach him how to hold a gun (tho I would Not be surprised if he already knew) or maybe even tutored him and Naomi a bit in terms of math.

I noticed that, in the English dub, the ADA refers to Tanizaki by his first name rather often. It's actually pretty rare to hear his last name in the dub, and I wish I knew why.

It can’t be for the simplicity of referring between him and his sister, since everyone calls her Naomi in both versions.

It’s not a logistical (“mouth-flap”) choice either, I’ve noticed them saying it even when a character is facing away, and their mouth isn’t visible, so it’s not that.

I admit that I do like the choice, since Jun’ichirou is the same age as Atsushi—who also gets referred to by his first name by the rest of the ADA. It follows the trend of calling anyone 18 and under by their first names, too, since this also applies to Kenji and Kyouka.

It may be a small change, but it’s a consistent one, so it had to have been a conscious choice.
