#like atsushi obviously seems like life and tanizaki seems to be death but theyre both...well there is something anyway

[note-boom]

Just some thoughts again for this episode sorry but....

Kyouka protecting Atsushi

Tanizaki getting triggered when they hurt Kenji (maybe not as unhinged as he is with Naomi but HE WAS PROTECTIVE OF KENJI)

The way the water the ADA stood next to rippled as soon as they stood up and decided to choose the path that led to less loss of lives...a ripple effect??

YOSANO'S BUTTERFLIES ANIMATED I AM OBSESSED

ALL the character moments like Kenji encouraging the ADA, Tanizaki being frustrated and protective, Kunikida never letting any of them die, Yosano saving them all with her ability, Kyouka going back for Atsushi, poor Atsushi being so out of the loop -

I wonder where the hideout Yosano was going to take them to was going to be....

#also idk if this belongs in the main post but i am obsessed with the way each agency member has a similar aged parallel to them #like a parallel within the agency that really plays off the whole life/death symbolism #like yosano/ranpo....dazai/kunikida....kyouka/kenji....and atsushi/tanizaki #hear me out the first have yosano as an angel of death and ranpo in his backstory confront an angel of death #yosano with a bloodstained past and ranpo with a fairy happy one #and then obviously kunikida with his ideals for life and dazai with his ideal to die #kyouka with her past as an assassin and kenji with his past as a farmer (cultivating life) #and then atsushi and tanizaki being....rather extremists but also just slightly ambiguous where they stand in this dichotomy #like atsushi obviously seems like life and tanizaki seems to be death but theyre both...well there is something anyway #BUT how in the end all of them choose life (yes even dazai) and how all of them still understand the deadliness and death of the world #armed detective agency my beloveds honestly #i cherish them all so much #and also even though the similar aged thing doesnt really work out here im gonna say fukuzawa and naomi can be a parallel #for the sole reasons that both are here really because of someone else even if one is the pres and the other a clerk #but fukuzawa is all about 'you are CHILDREN please be safe' #and naomi is like 'im gonna die with you or not try and stop me' #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd season 4 #bsd s4 spoilers #bsd spoilers #spitting nonsense #bsd musings #armed detective agency #rambling in the tags sorry
