You know what we need more of in BSD?

Sibling dynamic Ranpo and Kyouka.

It’s right there, Asagiri and Bones literally handed it to us but we hardly ever talk about ittt

[lowestechelonabomination]

you know what, screw it. Here's a list of my headcanons on ADA members' sleep schedules:

-Dazai: probably makes himself sleep deprived as a form of self sabotage. Stays up until 5-6 a.m. regularly, only sleeps for more than 5 hours whenever he passes out from being drunk. Frequently oversleeps in the morning, shows up at the ADA at a different time every day because of how erratic his sleeping is. Has a headache nearly 24/7 and permanent brain fog, can't concentrate on work ever because even just thinking takes so much effort. Probably thinks that the "has trouble thinking" thing is a good thing because then his brain is too exhausted to throw overly negative thoughts at him. Used to pull all-nighters all the time in the PM because he mostly worked at night, so now he's just used to not sleeping at night and doesn't see why he should fix it. No one trusts him with sleep meds like melatonin, so they begrudgingly let him be Like This as long as he isn't too much of a threat to himself

-Kunikida: has precisely 8 hours of sleep per day written out in his Ideals, and tries to stick to it whenever he can. But his workaholicism frequently conflict with this, and so he often ends up staying up until 3-4, writing reports and the like, and then feels extremely guilty in the morning and buries himself in more work. In college he would go for days without sleeping because he wanted to always turn in all of his work on time, then eventually dropped out because he realized that he could not let himself do this any longer, and his previous position as TA was good enough already. Definitely has revenge bedtime procrastination but will never let himself admit it

-Atsushi: usually gets enough sleep, but will often have nightmares in the form of flashbacks, so he wakes up tired anyway. Has trouble falling asleep for this reason too. Kyouka silently gives him things to help him sleep on bad days, and makes sure he's getting at least 6 hours every night. Having the tiger in him helps him deal with exhaustion and gives him a little more energy

-Kyouka: because of her past as an assassin, she isn't used to sleeping during the day. Stays up very late because she can't make herself fall asleep any earlier. Sleeps very lightly because she's used to having to jump up and fight at any moment. Thinks that getting 5 hours of sleep is enough. Is very tired all the time, but doesn't let anyone really see it. Has some mild brain fog. Atsushi helps her sleeping issues just like she helps him with his

-Kenji: hello daytime drowsiness! Gets enough sleep at night, but still frequently finds himself falling asleep during the day due to his ability. Yosano tried introducing him to caffeine to help him stay awake, but then he started bouncing off the walls and accidentally broke almost everything he touched because of how much energy he had, so now he's banned from caffeine and the rest of the ADA makes sure he has his naps whenever he needs to

-Yosano: knows the effect of sleep deprivation very well. Gets 7 hours often, but is always ready to stay up late helping people. "Caffeine addiction" is an understatement, and there are empty energy drink cans littering her entire workspace. Sleeps pretty lightly, and is ready to get to work at any moment because she's a doctor, and sometimes people need help at night, whether it's from injuries or if they just need someone to talk to. Will often stay up very late on weekends because she also has revenge bedtime procrastination, but, unlike Kunikida, she calls it exactly what it is. The third Friday of each month is dedicated to a late-night drinking session with Dazai where they talk about all of their problems. Ranpo often accompanies them, but eats candy instead of drinking because Ranpo and alcohol are a terrible combination. Kunikida was roped into the gathering a few times as well, but only Ranpo has any memories of what happened during those times

-Ranpo: pretty burned out most of the time, but doesn't know why. Executive dysfunction makes it so that he can't make himself work during the day, and then the guilt sticks with him for the rest of the day. Often overthinks at night. But he still gets 9 hours of sleep regularly. Crashes pretty early in the night (compared to other ADA members, at least), but will stay up all night when given the chance to binge something like a show or a new mystery novel, typically one of Poe's. Stays up late with Yosano, but mostly on weekends

-Tanizaki: is probably still recovering from the sleep schedule most students have, but is doing very well with sleeping otherwise. Naomi often forces him to sleep enough. Thought his sleep schedule was just okay, but then looked at the rest of the ADA and realized that he was doing a lot better than almost all of them

-Naomi: gets about as much sleep as you'd expect from a student with a part-timer in a detective agency. But she still tries her best to get enough, and on the days where she barely slept she'll stay home and rest. Overall, she seems like she'd be pretty responsible

-Fukuzawa: tired all the time. Running an agency takes a lot of energy, and he has a huge workload. Will often pull all-nighters at the office and then slide in and out of microsleeping the day after. His office is separate from the rest of the ADA, so he zones out in there a lot. Drinks tea as a source of caffeine. Dreams about becoming a cat and getting to sleep for 18 hours a day. Fukuzawa is used to working alone, and so often refuses help from people. He sees himself in Kyouka, and notices the fatigue she tries so hard to hide simply because he did the same. He has explained to her how long the recovery process from the nocturnal lifestyle will be, and tries to help her whenever he can. He helps all of the members, really. He lets Kenji sleeps when he needs to, allows Dazai and Ranpo to slack off, will often try to redistribute Kunikida's workload, worries about Atsushi, and helps Naomi with homework during breaks. He really, really wants to be a cat sometimes

attraction

ship: shin soukoku / akuatsu, kunikidazai 

genre: slow burn romance

prompt: akutagawa is pining and has no idea what to do about it

notes: ada akutagawa, sequel to satisfaction 

It’s been at least a month since the announcement of Dazai and Kunikida’s wedding, a month since Ryunosuke left that dreaded anonymous love letter on Atsushi’s desk.

And yet, Atsushi has not figured out who wrote the love letter. Or maybe he did, and Akutagawa just didn’t know, or maybe Atsushi is even avoiding him…

God knows, all Akutagawa knows is that he’s locked in the bathroom on his former mentor’s wedding day while Atsushi bangs on the door.

“Ryunosuke, you are coming to the wedding, you fucking lawnmower!” He yells from outside.

Akutagawa puts his head into his hands. He’s ready, he changed up his normal top to a short sleeve white blouse without ruffles, it revealed all his scars and bruises, but it was a cute top that Atsushi picked out. Atsushi even tied his tie, fixed his hair, and everything, but here he was, insecure once again.

“He probably doesn’t even want me there…” Akutagawa responded from the bathroom.

“Then why would Dazai-san invite you?” Kyouka said from outside the bathroom, her tone much softer than Atsushi’s.

Ryunosuke had actually forgotten she was there…

Atsushi sighed, “Even if he didn’t want you at his wedding, which he does, I would want you there. Ryuu-san, pleeease!”

… The truth is, Akutagawa could never say no to Atsushi, especially when Atsushi uses his personal nickname for Akutagawa.

The sound of it alone brings color to Akutagawa’s sickly pale face.

“... Okay,” Akutagawa hesitantly agrees, fixing the little cat hair clip in his hair before unlocking the door to the bathroom and opening it.

Atsushi is in a similar outfit to his agency wear, a short sleeve white button up with the addition of a bowtie instead of a typical tie, as well as tan suspenders instead of black.

Kyouka, on the other hand, is wearing something a little more fancy than Akutagawa and Nakajima, simply because she’s the flower girl. Her dress is a tank top, knee length white dress with a dark blue lace collar, a dark blue ribbon around her waist as well. Atsushi has placed a flower crown of blue hydrangeas on her head, as well.

… She’s quite adorable.

“Are we ready to go?” Kyouka asks.

The trio leave the apartment, and make their way towards Fukuzawa’s house.

--

It’s awkward. It’s horribly awkward for Akutagawa. It’s such a small wedding, it’s really only the agency there, with the addition of some guild members, Gin, Higuchi, and a small appearance from Chuuya before he quickly leaves.

Akutagawa had never felt so much relief seeing Chuuya leave.

He ends up sitting next to his sister and Higuchi, Gin wearing a dress Akutagawa had bought her for her sixteenth birthday a few months ago, and Higuchi wearing a simple suit as they watch Kunikida and Dazai.

Fukuzawa got ordained specifically for this wedding, and probably only this wedding. So, up at the altar are Fukuzawa, Dazai, Kunikida, Atsushi, and Ranpo.

There wasn’t a need for a whole set of groom’s men, so the two best men were picked out and left at that.

… Akutagawa found it hard to look at anything but Atsushi. Looking at anybody else made him feel awkward and out of place.

… But Atsushi was a safe ground, the reason Akutagawa went to this event in the first place.

If it was hard to not look at Atsushi, it was even more difficult to not imagine being up at the altar with him. Declaring vows, holding hands, kissing… It made Ryunosuke giddy, feeling his face heat up.

Kyouka poked fun at him earlier about it, saying that him and Atsushi were probably going to be married next.

It’d be so nice… Akutagawa thought, But I don’t think he thinks of me in that way.

Pining is awful, so Akutagawa has discovered. It’s fucking painful.

When the reception starts, Akutagawa makes a run to the bathroom and locks himself in a stall for at least 30 minutes.

He washes his hands and hand at least ten times, as if trying to wash away the thoughts of Atsushi.

They don’t leave.

--

Akutagawa is sitting at a table at the reception awkwardly, watching Kyouka and Atsushi dance from a distance with some others when Dazai approaches, taking a seat beside Akutagawa.

“You don’t look like you’re having a lot of fun, huh?” Dazai starts.

“... I’m having a hard time with feelings, but congratulations on your marriage. Please don’t let my feelings concern you,” Ryunosuke replied, looking back over at Dazai, “It’s supposed to be a happy day for you.”

Dazai smiles a bit, shaking his head. His attire isn’t much different outside of the flowers in his hair, and a new brooch on his chest. His coat has been forsaken somewhere, probably Kunikida’s car.

“Thank you, but your feelings won’t upset me. I know they don’t have a whole ton to do with me,” answered the brunette, “Your feelings have to do with the kitty cat over there, huh?”

Ryunosuke blushed, looking away from Dazai, “Don’t tell him.”

Dazai lets out a fake gasp, putting a hand to his chest, “Ah, I would never! For this is a Romeo And Juliet tale, a beautiful romance written by Shakespear himself! And yet, I am just a supporting character for sir Romeo.”

“If it wasn’t your wedding day, I would kick your ass.”

Dazai chuckles, “You should, anyway. But anyways, I hope things go well for you, blah, blah, blah, all the other shit you’ve probably already heard. You need anything?”

Akutagawa fell silent, shrugging as he looked back at Atsushi, smiling and laughing with Junichiro.

“I think I know what you need,” Dazai responds, standing up from his seat as he holds his arms out to Akutagawa, “A good, old fashion Dazai hug!” Akutagawa smiles a bit as he stands up, taking the hug from Dazai as he rests his head on his former mentor’s shoulder.

… Dazai’s hugs aren’t nearly as nice as Atsushi’s, but it feels nice to finally get attention from Dazai after all these years.

--

Fuck it, tiger lilies, Akutagawa thought, quickly pointing to them on the menu for the cashier to place the order. He paid for the flowers, and was given a date to pick up the flowers as Akutagawa left the flower shop, pulling out his phone and beginning to dial a familiar number.

“Kunikida Doppo speaking, what can I do for you?”

“How did you tell Dazai-san you liked him?

Kunikida sighed from the other end of the phone while Akutagawa starts his walk down to the train station, “Not even a hello?”

“Hello, Kunikida, how did you tell Dazai-san you liked him?” Ryunosuke quickly rephrased.

“Well, it’s difficult to say because I truly didn’t end up telling him.”

“So he was the one who confessed?” “In a way, yes. We are talking about Osamu here, he already figured out that I loved him through his connections to just about everyone in Yokohama. So what happened was Osamu invited me to dinner, told me he knew about my feelings, and that he returned them. We started dating shortly afterwards,” Kunikida explained.

“Ah, you had it easy... “ Akutagawa replied, nervously tapping his fingers on his knee, “... I can’t seem to get my love interest to pick up on my feelings. They’re oblivious.”

“Hmm, you’re in a tough spot, then.”

“I don’t know who to go to anymore… I’ve spoken to Dazai-san, Higuchi, my sister, now you…” Akutagawa sighed, “It seems like no matter what, they can’t seem to figure it out, and I don’t want to be super blunt about it either… That’s just embarrassing.”

Kunikida fell silent, “I have an idea. To understand someone who is oblivious, you should talk to someone who was oblivious. You should talk to Poe, Ranpo’s boyfriend, they were in a similar situation. Poe might be able to give you some advice.”

Akutagawa smiles a bit as his train arrives to get back to the agency, “Thank you, Kunikida, I’ll get to it. I have to go, have a good afternoon.”

--

“Jinko, please think about this for more than five seconds. Please,” Ryunosuke says sadly, watching Atsushi pause from walking into their shared kitchen with the tiger lillies Akutagawa had just bought for him.

Atsushi turns back to him, “Think about what?”

Ryunosuke feels himself freeze up, trying to quickly come up with a response before eventually stuttering something out, “N, nevermind. Don’t think about it.”

Atsushi gives him a strange look, and then shrugs as he goes to put the flowers in the vase, and Ryunosuke goes to make some tea. His heart aches as Akutagawa pulls down a tea bag, then coughing into his hand.

“You look upset,” Atsushi comments, standing besides Akutagawa. Akutagawa hadn’t even noticed that his face was scrunched up into something of hurt. It’s understandable, but now was not a good time for that.

“... Do you have any idea how long I’ve been trying to tell you this? You just keep brushing me off, if you don’t like me, please just say it,” he replied, the words fell out of his mouth without a thought. The moment he said it, Ryunosuke felt a wave of regret wash over him as he quickly tried to distract himself, continuing to make his tea.

There’s a moment of silence. Akutagawa can’t bear to even look at Atsushi, so scared of his response, scared to burst into tears just by looking at the other.

“... Ryunosuke. I like you a lot, you are my very best friend. I don’t know what you’re trying to say, though, and I can tell it’s hurting you,” Atsushi replied, his voice is calm and full of worry, “What are you trying to say?”

“Think about it. Just… Think about it, please, Atsushi. I’ve been so obvious, practically the whole agency knows,” Akutagawa pauses to rub his eyes on his sleeve.

Atsushi reaches out and places a hand on Akutagawa’s shoulder, spinning his friend around to look at him. Akutagawa’s eyes are watering as he holds his entire cup in his hand, then setting the cup down on the counter.

“Do you just… Not get it? What else do I have to do? Jinko, this is fucking ridiculous, we’ve been doing this for months now. Are you really this dense?” Ryunosuke said, to which Atsushi fell silent, not responding.

Akutagawa didn’t know what to say, just staring intently at Atsushi with his heart pounding when Atsushi reached out for Akutagawa, cupping his face in his hands and bringing their lips towards in a swift motion.

Ryunosuke is left in shock for a moment, he had never really kissed someone before. Higuchi kissed his cheek once, though that might be the most he’s ever gotten.

… Regardless, it’s nice. Akutagawa quickly relaxes against Atsushi, moving his hand over the one Atsushi has on his face.

And when Atsushi pulls away, Akutagawa has to resist from pulling him back into the kiss. Atsushi smiles at Akutagawa, he is still holding the other’s hand as he speaks.

“Was I right?”

Ryunosuke nodded, “Yes, you were.”

“I didn’t think you actually liked me back,” replied Atsushi.

“... Please say you’re joking.”

“I wish I was.”

Akutagawa chuckles, hiding his smile behind his hand, “Jinko, you are dense.”

Atsushi smiles once again as he pulls the other into a hug, “Yup!”

… They are not going to hear the end of this from Dazai.

Yokohama and BSD Locations - Japan Trip 2017

I recently got back from a trip to Japan, and it was easily the most amazing experience I have had in my life so far! I was also lucky enough to spend a day in Yokohama. I found a lot of BSD spots!

The first place I visited was France-yama Park! The feeling here was so peaceful, it was hard to believe that just through the trees was one of Japan’s largest cities. I also like anything that has an antiquated feel to it, so I spent a lot of time here taking in the feeling and scenery. (Plus, in the manga and anime when Dazai is here alone gazing into the distance he has such an amazing look on his face. The face he makes when he is alone and drops his mask is a treasure.)

Just up the path from the France-yama Park there is the Harbor View Park! It is a popular date spot (and one of the spots Atsushi takes Kyouka to), but it was too cloudy to see anything (I wish I could have gotten a good picture of Yokohama Bay Bridge, but it was not meant to be). And on the same street is the police station Kyouka was going to turn herself in at before Akutagawa had to show up and impale Atsushi. My mom thought it was hilarious that I was so excited to stand in the exact spot where Atsushi was stabbed by Rashoumon.

America-yama Park was another place my mom thought I was a complete nerd. This is where Fukuzawa sees a cat on the wall and so desperately tries to coax it to him with a treat, but the cat just nonchalantly jumps off the opposite side of the wall. I always felt so bad for Fukuzawa! He just wanted to pet the cat. Hopefully someday he will be able to.

I think this building only appears in the manga, but it is the building where Poe and Ranpo meet for the first time for a detective game. I literally just stumbled on it between America-yama park and the white phone booth and have no idea what this building would be other than apartments. The detail in the railing is very pretty, though. 

Then of course I had to see the white phone booth where Atsushi calls the mafia. There really is something about Yokohama where there are modern skyscrapers and attractions with historical buildings and parks scattered everywhere. It almost feels like every turn you make takes you into a new era or a unique world. Wandering around made me feel like I was in a dream (a very BSD themed dream).

At the bottom of the hill we wandered the Motomachi Shopping District! Episode 2 is my favorite episode, partly because of the hilarious interaction we get with Dazai and Atsushi walking down this street and being met by a very angry Kunikida! I think that scene was were I fell in love with the show, so standing here and browsing the shops was absolutely amazing!

Time was limited, and we were getting tired of walking at this point, but I did see part of Yokohama’s China Town. There were a few gates like this that we came across. It’s not the exact gate from the anime, but I was super excited all the same.

One of my favorite places in Yokohama was Yamashita Park and the great view of the Marine Tower! There are so many great scenes that take place here (including the chapter about Atsushi’s past and the orphanage director *sob*). The views from this park were breathtaking! If I could I would spend an entire day here taking photos and sitting on a bench reading.

Then we walked toward the Red Brick Warehouse and got a great view of the skyline and some of the scenery they used in the first Bungo Stray Dogs ending! Plus I finally got a picture where you can make out the Yokohama Bay Bridge and it doesn’t completely blend in with the clouds. If you pause the first ending at just the right time you can see the penguin and elephants that are around here. And when I saw those arches I about cried! The scene from the ending with Atsushi, Dazai, and Akutagawa with books in their hands standing in that spot has always been a symbol to me of what Bungou Stray Dogs is about.

The Customs Enforcement Division Annex is between those beautiful arches and the Red Brick Warehouse. We stopped for a quick picture of the Annex before going to the Red Brick Warehouse for lunch. The shops and restaurants inside were all very trendy and high end, but I ended up finding a beautiful Japanese wallet (the wallet I brought wouldn’t hold nearly enough coins to make it convenient in Japan with all the coins they have), and now whenever I pull out my wallet I think about the Red Brick Warehouse and all the treasures and memories!

The Kanagawa Prefectural Office was along the way. I can’t really remember where I saw this in BSD (so if you know feel free to enlighten me because it has been bugging me since I saw this building). 

My favorite building in Yokohama is the Port Opening Memorial Hall! it was on this street where Atsushi brought Q’s doll to Dazai and my Dazatsu fangirl inside me screamed for weeks (the way Dazai looked at Atsushi is so sweet)! Everything about that scene was so beautiful, and the building itself is absolutely gorgeous! The architecture in Yokohama absolutely floored me so many times! Seeing these buildings in person is so different than I expected. I’m sure people were wondering why two American tourists were staring at this building for so long, but I was too in awe to care.

I was also super excited to see the Nihon-odori Station entrance and the building above the station! The station entrance is because this is where Dazai takes Atsushi after stopping Q’s curse and escaping from Twain. It is also the entrance Kunikida uses in the manga in the chapter they used for the OVA. Which I took as further proof that the building above the station could be the model for the Armed Detective Agency! Doesn’t the building look very similar to the one in the anime? Plus it’s near where Atsushi was trying to take the doll to Dazai AND where Kunikida tries to catch the train when he meets Aya. It’s not officially the building they used for the ADA, but it was good enough for me.

It was also fun to see Yokohama Stadium and the park just outside the stadium. This park was used in a chapter of Bungo Stray Dogs Wan when Dazai is challenging a dog in the bushes and it turns out to be Karl the raccoon! It might also be the setting for other BSD Wan chapters, but I’m too lazy to check right now.

My mom’s favorite building was the Museum of Cultural History. The dome with the aged copper and the pillars are so beautiful! It was hard to get a shot where the dome didn’t blend in with the sky. We also saw an elderly gentleman sitting on the corner painting a picture of the building! It is yet another gem amid the modern buildings in Yokohama.

One of the last stops was the Marine Park, where we got a lot of great pictures of the Landmark Tower and the Cosmo Clock 21! It is also the location where the filmed the second ending song’s music video. I used aching feet as an excuse to sit down and get some tea from the vending machine, but I really just wanted to sit there longer and enjoy the view. 

The last building in Yokohama we visited was the Yokohama Museum of Art! Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to go inside, but I was really excited to tell my mom about the fight between Akutagawa, Gide, and Odasaku that was set here in the anime! The building was all decorated for a big event!

This next place isn’t in Yokohama, but the tour we were on took us to Ginza for a couple hours one afternoon. It was before opening hours, but I took a lot of pictures outside the bar Lupin! I remember thinking, “Oh, I’m standing where Dazai, Ango, and Odasaku stood right before they all got super drunk.” I think this alleyway was my favorite part of the trip! It was an amazing feeling to be standing where three of my favorite authors once stood. (And look at the “Melos” sign! Dazai wrote a short story titled “Run, Melos!” I’m so happy I could die). 

This is a very small BSD promotion, but there was a comic about Dazai and Kunikida having to solve a case in Hakone, a famous location with tons of hot springs. The hotel they stayed in in the comic was The Prince and I got a picture of the hotel from onboard a lake cruise! 

Finally, our trip ended in Osaka where Odasaku is from! We got to eat at a famous curry house Jiyuken (”Freedom House”) where Odasaku frequented as well as seeing the shop Meoto Zenzai that inspired his first famous short story “Hurry for Marriage” (Fun Fact: the title Meoto Zenzai is translated as “Hurray for Marriage” but it is said the same as the name of the desert the shop is famous for, a sweet red bean desert that is split into two bowls, like a “his” and “her” bowl). Our guide told us that the street in the middle picture looks very much like the Osaka that Odasaku would have known. 

and that is the end! Thank your for looking at all these pictures and reading how I gush over Bungou Stray Dogs and Japan! I am already planning on making it back to Japan and trying to see where Dazai and Ango lived (Ueno), Dazai’s grave, Musashino (from Kunikida’s short story), and hopefully spending more time in Yokohama so I can go inside more of the buildings and go to Cosmo World! 

If anyone else has been or is planning on going I would love to hear your experiences or what you want to see! Yokohama such an amazing city! I can’t talk about it or hear about it enough!

[bungou-stray-dogs-indulgences]

You know that "who you should fight" meme? Could you do a BSD version of it, if it's not too much to ask?

(Ngl this may be the best thing I’ve ever answered)

WHO YOU SHOULD FIGHT

ADA

Atsushi: You win(?)

Walk right up to him and beat the ever-loving shit of him. He’ll apologize to you. An easy fight, just don’t slip in any tasteless orphan jokes, it’ll have the opposite effect intended and he’ll take you the fuck out with the pure intent to prove he’s worthy. You could beat him but the psychological weight of crushing someone so innocent will ensure that you never feel right again. Fight him if you have no soul.

Dazai: You lose

He’ll turn the whole affair into a big joke. If you, by some stroke of luck, actually hit him, he’ll probably just say ‘harder daddy’. The psychological effects of brawling Dazai will be devastating either way. DO. NOT.  FIGHT.

Ranpo: You win

Honestly, it’s hardly worth your time. He hasn’t eaten anything but chocolate cake and cheap lollipops for the last six years, not to mention any form of physical exercise. He’s got pale-ass noodle arms and a muffin top (don’t believe the official art’s lies. The bitch eats solely from a candy shop and looks like he just topped off a cycling session with Jillian Micheals? Get the fuck out). Just don’t bring a Jolly Rancher shiv because he’ll eat the damn thing. Undoubtedly fight, just be prepared to book it like a fucking librarian after you knock him out because the rest of the ADA will come after you.

Kyouka: Depends 

Look, fourteen’s a shitty age even when you’re not dealing with pressing morality crises.There is nothing Kyouka wants more in this world than to dial herself, let Demon Snow rip and raise her kill count to thirty seven. But all you gotta do to keep her at bay is debate on morality like Matthew fucking Murdock in Netflix’s Daredevil. If you can successfully hold her back with discussion on ethics (and how hers will be jack-shit if she slaughters you) you have a slim chance of victory. A great fight if you need to practice for speech class.

Kunikida: You lose

You might think victory’s as simple as tossing his notebook in a nearby water fountain and watching him flip a lid, but this is an absolutely awful tactic and the inside of your head will be decorating the sidewalk in mere milliseconds. He beats Dazai’s band-aid wrapped flanks on the daily and he won’t hesitate to destroy yours. If you fight, at least your cause of death can be listed as ‘blonde beefcake’s rippling biceps’.

Kenji: You win

Just feed him a few bowls of Spaghetti-o’s before you deck him and the little blonde bitch won’t stand a chance. You can smack him back into the cultist backwater rice paddies he crawled out of easy as smacking a crippled fly. A perfect fight for abusing a fourteen year old without getting into too much trouble. 

Fukuzawa: You lose

You might think you could dress up in a kitty costume and sneak up to him. And you could. It would be easy, in fact. He’s so focused on the cuteness he won’t notice any maliscious intent. Despite this his reflexes are simply too quick and he’ll still take you the fuck out when you make your move. A bad fight from all angles. You’ll have to fend off his adopted, dysfunctional ADA children too. Just don’t.

PORT MAFIA

Akutagawa: Depends (99.5% losing chance. risky.)

Yeah, you’re fucked. Akutagawa won’t even wait until you initiate, he’ll be the one attacking you, probably over something minor and stupid like the color of your pants is personally offensive. Rashomon will be slicing and dicing you into a smoothie for cannibals before you know what hit you. The only way you make it out alive is if by some stroke of luck Dazai happens to be in a one hundred mile radius and Akutagawa’s senpai-radar starts going off. Fight only if you bring My Chemical Romance vinyls to punt at him; they’re his biggest weakness .

Chuuya: Depends (99.75% losing chance. Cross thy fingers and pray)

Facing Chuuya is a bigger risk than that board game. He’s practically impervious to all close-up melee and he’s too small of a target to be hit with anything from afar. You might think you’d have a fighting chance if you knocked his hat off; after all, that’s basically all he is. A hat rack prone to alcoholism. But that fury will only make him stronger and he’ll crush you like you’re a cum-covered Dazai body pillow. As with Akutagawa your only glimmer of hope for survival is if bandage-kun happens to be close by because Chuuya will prioritize and leave your now crippled ass in the dust that he punted you in. Only fight while intoxicated. (Both of you. Not just him. It’s more fun that way. Much like Turkish oil wrestling but with more gravity.)

Mori: You lose

If you want to fight him you’ve obviously got a death wish and I’m not going to stop you. There’s easier ways to go though, man. Easier ways. His expression won’t even change when he whips out that scalpel (I don’t believe that man’s ever been to medical school) and filets you like a fresh caught tuna, on its way to a B-rated fast food join. Your body’s gonna get left on the pavement for the stray dogs. (No, I’m not gonna finish that joke. Low hanging fruit. I have some dignity.) If you want to die that bad, just go see if Dazai will suicide with you. It’ll be significantly less painful

Elise: I fucking dare you

I mean, you probably could take her out, she’s like seven. Mori will let her play skip rope with your small intestine after she’s recovered. Rest In Peace if you even consider it.

Kouyou: You lose

I don’t know what would inspire you to be so stupid. She’ll just let out a dignified little chuckle and shove that umbrella sword so far up your ass you’ll be tasting acid rain for months, and she’ll do it all in the most ladylike way possible. Unless you’re ready for your innards to end up in a teapot, served with chocolate-coated orange wafers at tea break, just don’t fight.

Oda: ???

He’s fucking dead. What are you gonna do, kick his headstone, maybe plant some weeds over his grave? Just don’t mention the burnt orphan soup, or he’ll literally rise and put you in his coffin instead. If you’re willing to dabble into necromancy, knock yourself (or him, in this case) out.

Q: Haha

I get why you’d want to fight him, I really do. He looks like a miniature Cruella Deville on an acid trip. But you just don’t have a chance. Hit him. Go ahead. As soon as you so much as brush him he has the power to destroy your shit like it’s never been destroyed before. Will annihilate you from the inside out. The deadliest emo thirteen year old there’s ever been; avoid at all costs!!!

Higuchi: You LOSE

You might think you have a chance because she doesn’t have an ability. But you’re gravely mistaken. Higuchi is bitter. Higchi is ruthless. Higuchi does not give a fuck about anything other than getting Emotagawa-senpai to notice her. She has nothing, nothing to lose and she will not rest until she’s pulling your tonsils through your asshole in the hopes that Akutagawa will give her a thumbs-up for slaughtering you. DO NOT fight. She stands to lose nothing and gain everything.

THE GUILD

Hawthorne: You lose

You might think that you’d have a fighting chance because he’s a priest and priest’s aren’t supposed to wreck people’s shit but he will see your sins and you won’t even see him coming. Try to punch him his ability is literally activated by injuries. Knocks you out with a psalter hymnal and ships you off to Bible camp while you’re unconscious.  Only fight if you have never sinned, not once, ever.

Steinbeck: Depends

If you’re from the city he’ll destroy you. Farm boys always tear apart city people no questions asked. If that fact doesn’t dissuade you then just prepare yourself not to be freaked the fuck out when he jack-knifes his own neck and starts sprouting flora. As long as you keep your cool you’ve got a 30/70 chance. Only fight if you bring a metric fucktonne of weed killer.

Poe: You win (biggest douchecanoe award, but that’s about it)

Physically, sure, you could sneeze within fifty feet of his pasty ass and take him down. But really? Do you really want to hurt him? He’ll stare right into your soul with those sad, sad eyes and wonder just what he did to inspire such bitterness in you. If you can still fuck him up after that then you’d best kiss your spirit goodbye because it’s descending to the seventh level of fiery hell as you read this. Plus, honestly, there’s no true triumph against a man whose best bud is a raccoon. That’s just too rad. If you can deal with the pressing moral consequences and a pissed off  raccoon, go for it. (You monster). 

Mitchell: You win

All you have to do is push her hospital bed down the stairs and pretend it was an accident. Her comatose ass can’t do a thing to stop you. Fight if you’re ready to run from angry hospital staff.

Fitzgerald: You lose 

You know, this sentient sack of Benjamins deserves it, in all honesty, but don’t try. Him and his power suit will kick you into the next millennia before you can say ‘old sport’. Prepare to be crushed by capitalism.

Melville: You win

He’s like eighty and his ability’s a goddamn floating whale. As long as you don’t throw down at Sea World, you’re good. Fight as long as you’re not in front of an assisted living facility; the CNAs will think he’s a resident and defend him.

Lovecraft: Depends

Attack him while he’s trying to nap and he’ll be too lazy to get up. Otherwise… yeah, just google ‘Cthulhu’. You’ll get the idea. Don’t fight: there’s no beating weaponized tentacle porn.

Montgomery: You lose

Go right ahead and try, she’ll whisk you away to her Melanie-Martinez ass torture dimension and let Anne mop the floor with your teeth. It’s kind of like challenging God. Unless you want to spend eternity in an unsexy rip-off of the 50 shades Red Room, DO. NOT. ENGAGE.

Twain: You win

Twain’s all talk, anybody that walks around with their titties hanging out 24/7 is definitely trying to distract from something. In this case he’s trying to fool people into thinking he’s not a dictionary-definition pussy. Rip the heads off his muppet babies and he doesn’t even have an ability anymore, the schmuck. Fight when you’re looking for a quick self-esteem boost. 

Alcott: You win

This poor woman does not deserve to be tortured anymore than she already is by the weight of her own social awkwardness, but if you really insist: make a derogatory comment and she’s basically down for the count already, no physical contact necessary. If you really want to dominate, just steal her glasses and she instantly morphs into a significantly less foxy Velma Dinkley. Also significantly less prone to self defense. An A-1 fight for when you’re looking to cement residency in Hell.

OTHER

Ango: Depends

You would think his beanpole ass would be an easy target. You’d be wrong, though. So very wrong. He’s been chugging tomato juice like it’s his job for the past forever and he’s got a snazzy pair of handcuffs he’s just dying to break out. If you sabotage basic safety features on his car, though, he’s a goner. Just sneakily unbuckle his seat belt while he’s driving and you’ve basically defeated him right then and there. A good fight for practicing strategic tactics and subtle vehicle vandalism.

Fyodor: You lose

Just ask A how that one turned out. Actually, ask anyone in the manga what throwing down with Fyodor entails. (Unless you only watch the anime, then just wait for the season three that we’re probably not getting) He’ll escort you personally to the gates of hell with a flick to your forehead. Then he’ll step right over your still-warm corpse and start playing the cello with that unnecessarily wide leg-spreadage. Mess with this sentient ushanka hat and he’ll uSHANKa you.

Vulcan: o_o; *The cloak descends--and a small "burp" comes out from under it* Giovanni: "And now, it is time for you to die ignorant of this world--which, really, is not much different than how you were born into it..." Akitaru: "Okay, enough of this..." *takes up a fire extinguisher, blasting Lisa's flames* lisa: why are you doing this? they protect me....from the fear....the sadness.... Akitaru: "If you have to bury yourself in them...are they really protecting you, or are they imprisoning you? Why do you look so insecure?" lisa: *attacks* shut up!

Dazai: "Yes. I think he wants my approval." atsushi: ...wait, didnt you give it to him after the incident on the moby dick? Dazai: "Approval isn't just a one-time thing. You have to keep giving it." atsushi: ...i think i see what you mean....but it makes me wonder how he fell in love with me. here i am thinking he hates me guts...aaah, its so confusing like, why is he like this? and even then he's still hella agro on me! odasaku:...hella agro? atsushi: (thinking: shut up! it slipped!) Dazai: "Hmm...He may be hella agro out of a desire to get closer to that person who receives my approval, his hatred warping into some form of what he considers 'love.'" atsushi:....with all due respect, that's fucked up. odasaku: yeah, that is pretty damn unnerving. Dazai: "Yeah, maybe he should get therapy." Lucy: *soft slap on Atsushi's arm* "See?" atsushi: yep. exactly. but im not sure if we can exactly 'convince' him. seeing he is on the enemy side, after all. Dazai: *sighs* "It's something he has to want to do himself...or have a friend take him." atsushi: .... *lightbulb* we could ask chuuya! Lucy: "...'We'? I think if Dazai asks him it will end badly."
