I CAN'T STAY CALM AT ALL

I saw a rant about how the back and forth between Fyodor and Dazai is ridiculous at this point and like. I think that’s the point. The point is that one is not actually superior to the other in regards to intellect so they are ALWAYS going to be stuck in this cycle of ‘well I thought of/planned/predicted that!’.

The difference is in their connections and what those connections are made of. I find it fascinating actually that Fyodor thinks he’s won because he STOLE gravity away from Dazai and claimed Dazai didn’t even know how to use it when he had it! The thing is though, Chuuya doesn’t seem to be under Fyodor’s control anymore and he hasn’t ever chosen the people who try to use him like an object over Dazai. And despite the four years of separation (which was longer than their time together) he always came when Dazai expected him to.

And I’m thinking he expects him to now which would ultimately be what tips the scale in Dazai’s favor. Because where Fyodor sees a tool Dazai sees his partner. I’m also thinking Chuuya isn’t the only key to success here and that was why he chose Sigma too (if the points where he thinks about the ADA not using each other is any sort of foreshadowing).

And thus, to the Dazai we know today 🥺

Is this real??? I'M SCREAMING AAAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭

My mind at 3 AM :

Dazai : sweet but psycho. psycho but sweet

Joking. He's not a psycho. He's the sweetest boy ever

I found a post about it's kind of hard to fit all of the arc in one season and I agree

It's really difficult starting from when Ranpo, Poe and Oguri and Agency became runaways and chased by the HD, Dazai's arrested by Jouno, Tachihara's backstory, Yosano's backstory, Dazai and Fyodor's in jail, Nikolai and Sigma, Fukuchi (I don't want to discuss this grandpa), the leader of DOA, Kunikida's jail break

Akutagawa's death, vampire outbreak, bram's reveal, Tachihara broken from the book's spell, Jouno betrayed fukuchi, Aya's reappearance, ADA's meeting, Ranpo's backup plan, ADA's counterstrike and many more that I may forgot to list.

Maybe it's good if they just split up the season and make it season 5. Where s4 ends with the reveal of DOA's leader and proceed to s5 that is vampire's outbreak and all. And if they want to animate any of the novel, I think it'll be the Origin of The Armed Detective Agency.

After watching bsd wan ep 11

I remember oda's dialogue with gide about he and ango want to stay by dazai's side and they understand of how lonely dazai is

Genius indeed...

No one:

My friend: I think the author is trying to use the turning of vampires to symbolize the COVID pandemic, even people strong like Chuya are vulnerable, and everyone should stay home and quarantine like Dazai and Fyodor to avoid it.

Me:

Me:

Me: Wow, that is... Wow. I wish I can give you a trophy.

This feels like dark era Dazai and it kind of terrifies me 🙂.

And I was stunned for a second by this :

about the last part (4A) of the novel, when dazai says mori gave him a injection, it was meant to us to interpret like a vaccine maybe?

Yeah, it should be understood as a normal injection.

Dazai hurts himself all the time so I’m not surprised that Mori, as a doctor, has to give him shots sometimes to treat him.
