THANK YOUUU 😭😭

Everytime I read this chapter, my heart hurts for both of them

Dazai tried to leave his life in mafia and start a new life at ADA as a person who wants to save people yet his past crimes preventing him to do so

And Ango wanted to atone his mistakes by helping dazai whenever he can. He felt guilty for oda's death.

They miss their days where they sit along, forgetting about their ranks or status, enjoying each other presence

I JUST CAN'T-

That hat looks really familiar...

Can’t wait for the ‘Sigma being done with everyone’s shit’ three minute compilation on YouTube once he’s animated.

It works..

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).

Despite of how dark and suffering dazai's eyes are, I'm still thinking how hot he is in his mafia attire... His face here is just-

How can they be so cute and precious 🥺

I have seen ppl say that the new chapter was trash because “oh Chuuya is now in Fyodor’s hands. Dazai isn’t doing anything he must feel horrible.” ?? I am aware you love Soukoku but let’s talk about canon fact here.

Dazai took Chuuya from the sheep, an immature group of homeless gangsters who fended for themselves in Suribachi city. That same Sheep that betrayed Chuuya because Dazai told them lies. Dazai, after Chuuya was stabbed and off a cliff, struck a deal with him that if he joined the mafia that the sheep would be fine. This was of course because Chuuya was cornered. His only family thought he was a traitor and the source of it was Dazai.

As stated before Dazai already made that decision when he had that phone call with Mori. In other words what he did wasn’t to protect Chuuya — he made that phone call before the sheep told Chuuya that they are his only power and belong to him.

Time skip here to the present main manga. They are adults. What happened happened. Dazai and Chuuya’s partnership is out of trust. The whole soulmate thing came from the producer not Asagiri. And you can see that there is nothing soulmate-y about them. The two dislike each other — as stated in their wiki, as stated in the novel Stormbringer and stated in many other works — the two dislike each other. But they are mature enough to know that they should set their differences aside for the sake of Yokohama.

Now we are at the current chapter where Chuuya is a vampire. Dazai is amused. He isn’t heart broken. He isn’t scared. He is amused. Amused that Fyodor decided to play such a wild card. Dazai and Fyodor are the same in a way that they see their allies and enemies as chest pieces. The same way how other geniuses in the series besides Ranpo (and to refreshes your memory ; Mori, Sasaki and Ayatsuji) they will use their brains instead of their attachments to others. Dazai not caring if Chuuya is in pain or in danger is canon. Dazai caring if Chuuya is in pain or not is not canon. Calling Asagiri’s writing garbage just because your stuck in your own headcanon is stupid.

Anyone can hate a character. Heck I was never interested in Dazai, Fyodor or Chuuya for that matter. But calling Asagiri’s writing garbage even though he fed you WAY too much Chuuya content than needed since he is only a support character is entitled and selfish. You may ship Soukoku however you want. Heck ppl who don’t ship it have to deal with toxic Soukoku shippers harassing others because they don’t ship it. But saying Asagiri sucks?? Just because you ship something and he himself is thinking of his story?

Wow. How the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom has fallen so low all because you can’t put your own headcanon away from canon.

Edit: also if anyone says that I am making SKK sound simplistic I am just scratching the surface of the main issue here. This is not a SKK analysis this is just to talk about the issue with ppl saying Asagiri’s writing sucks because of shipping reasons

What I got from the latest chapter of bsd :

ADA's plan is to kill bram so they need some incredible plans

What I mean from that is maybe they'll have the plan for breaking dazai out of the prison

Because dazai can nullify the ability and he'll make good use of it

About fyodor, I still can't connect the dots

And I'm starting to like jouno

Don't take this seriously. My thoughts are not that accurate after all. Basically this is just my babbling.
