#just because the other items in his dislikes list are all-nighters and working overtime which we KNOW he does all the time

[monstersqueen]

anyway though. about ango and betrayal, since metas and reactions depends more and more on treating it as fact

????

if what happened in dark era was that it seemed like ango joined mimic but in fact he was spying on them for the mafia and the reveals stopped there

no one would say ango betrayed mimic

given that what he was doing in the mafia for the special division IS what he was doing in mimic for the mafia, we shouldn't say he betrayed the mafia either

moreover, the current special ability division betrayal isn't on either; given the situation, the special ability division has been taken over by its own enemy - or at least ango has cause to think so. he's still acting as a special ability division, just independently/outside of orders

----------

there's a truth to this idea that ango has betrayed every organisation though. it's that he betrayed his friends. that is a lot more difficult to explain, but for everyone involved - ango included - it does count as a betrayal

plus the fact that we the readers/viewers are constantly misled as to which organisation ango belongs to 'oh he's a mafia member - wait no he sold the mafia to mimic - oh no he IS a mafia member - WAIT WHAT HE WORKS FOR THE GOVERNMENT' and 'of COURSE he's a government agent the seventh division IS a government agency - oh actually he is working with dazai ???' i get why it's popular

but ango is not actually a chronic backstabber, there's just no reason to assume we actually KNOW what he truly is loyal to

especially since. as i said previously. he DID betray the special ability agency way back in dark era :p

#myposts #...yeah i'm going to rewatch the break up scene now... #bsd march 2023 not lb #sakaguchi ango #sakaguchi ango (bsd) #also. from the inside. i don't doubt ango consider some of those actual betrayal #just because the other items in his dislikes list are all-nighters and working overtime which we KNOW he does all the time #it makes sense betrayal is ALSO something he does regularly #which. given. (let me dig up the ango quote i use ALL THE TIME) #'Dazai¸ Odasaku #I am no different. As part of an underground organization whose duties must be kept secret¸ as a skill user who hunts other skill users¸ #I have been engulfed in the darkness of the government for too long. I shall never walk in the light again.' #MAKES A TON OF SENSE #but if we're going to consider it all betrayal of the same level #then i wish more time could be spent thinking about ango's time in mimic #because if it's all betrayal and ango dislikes betrayal #(and consider the core of his work 'a skill user who hunts other skill users' to be betrayal) #then he must have disliked bringing mimic to ruin not just because it killed odasaku #and so. did he feel sympathy for their tragedy? or understanding for their goals ? did he make friends there too ? #LIKE. WHAT WAS MIMIC LIKE FOR ANGO #anyway this was my monthly ango rant.
