Just How Rare Are Ability Users, Anyway? (I did the math.)

*whips out calculator* Well, with @scalpel-mom-mori‘s help, I may have an answer to the question that has been plaguing me since I looked into Asagiri’s worldbuilding. God help me.

Yokohama Data

So, I looked at confirmed ability users who work in Yokohama, and counting the Hunting Dogs, there are 31. If I place BSD as occurring around 2010 off of how widespread flip phones are with a few smartphones, Yokohama’s population is 3.689 million. Going off of these numbers, 0.000840336% of people are Gifted. In easier terms, 1 in every 119,000 people. 

Ah, but I have a feeling this number is still a bit high. Due to the Book and the fact that the Port Mafia and the ADA both operate out of Yokohama, there seems to be a higher than normal concentration of ability users in the city. After all, Atsushi wasn’t born there, and neither was Kenji. So, accounting for a slight skew in favor of ability users, let’s say about 1 in 120,000 people are Gifted. Plus it makes the math easier. 

Now, worldwide, there’s about 7.8 billion people. This would mean the worldwide Gifted population is about 65,000 people, which is about the population of the Cayman Islands. 

A city like NYC, with about 8.4 million people, would have around 70 Gifted. 

However, this number accounts for people with artificial abilities (Chuuya) and those who weren’t born with abilities but inherited them (Tsujimura and Kyouka). Subtracting them from the Yokohama total means Yokohama only has 28 naturally-born Gifted. 

28 Gifted out of 3.689 million means about 1 in every 131,750 people is naturally Gifted, which is still skewed in favor of ability users. 

Using these new numbers, the worldwide naturally Gifted population is somewhere around 59,203. Because of the skew, this puts the number of actual natural-Gifted closer to 59,000 or lower. 

NYC would therefore have around 64 Gifted or slightly less, depending on how unusual a city like Yokohama is (and, consequentially, how much the Yokohama data is skewed). 

Now, this is a good enough for most purposes, but I watched Dead Apple today, so let’s take a look at Shibusawa and see if his data matches up with my calculations above.

Dead Apple Data

According to Kunikida in the briefing at the beginning of the movie, 128 fog-related incidents were confirmed. The map shown basically puts these incidents at population hotspots around the world–big cities. Now, we get several shots of Shibusawa’s collection room, which shows all his ability crystals arranged in a grid.

I had to use some rough guestimation because many of the shots are at inconvenient angles and the goddamn room is circular. From what I could tell, abilities are stacked 2 deep in sections of 8 visible rows with 7 columns. There are 20 sections divided by pillars, each of which conceal a single column of 8 abilities, also stacked 2 deep. However, one section is a door, so there are only 19 sections of abilities on the first floor. 

My math went as follows: 

(8 rows * 7 columns * 2 deep * 19 sections) + (20 dividers * 8 abilities * 2 deep)

Given what is visible, it seems that there are 2,448 abilities on Shibusawa’s first floor. There’s a second floor, but there aren’t enough clear shots of it in either the movie or manga adaptation for me to guestimate with any degree of accuracy. So he really has even more than that.

To use a technical term, that’s a shit ton of abilities. If the Yokohama data is correct, that’s 4% of the world’s ability users. Again, this doesn’t even account for Shibusawa’s second floor. 

For the sake of argument, let’s just say that his smaller second floor contains half of what was on the first floor. Total, that’s 3,672 abilities, or 6% of the world’s Gifted. That’s how many people Shibusawa killed for their abilities. 

Now, he hit 128 cities according to the Special Operations Division. On average, he picked up about 28 ability users in each city (rounded down). If my math for Shibusawa is at all accurate, it actually props up my first calculation of the approximate Gifted population worldwide. Why?

That’s how many natural-born Gifteds live in Yokohama. 

*snaps calculator shut* Thank you for reading, and do please feel free to correct my math or add on. I find it highly suspicious that my math worked out so well.

If anyone asks me what Bungou is I'm just going to show them this because this is honestly so well out together that it would be a crime to not show them.

[gently offers]

[bdosamu]

So I don't know why I'm only hearing about this now but there's going to be a new light novel for BSD called "Storm Bringer" and it's going to have Paul Verlaine???? Why aren't we talking about this???? Also its teased in "Fifteen" in the epilogue, and people were right when they said that the hat Chuuya has now isn't the same as the one he was given. Apparently Mr. Verlaine decided to take his hat back. (Then again Chuuya could have gotten it back at some point. Who knows? The book isn't out yet.)

Anyways I can't wait for BSD: Storm Bringer to come out!!!

[bdosamu]

Why aren't more people talking about Snowpiercer 2020? It's really good, they eat the rich so fucking hard and the characters are so diverse! The twists and turns are well played out and when you think one thing is going to happen BOOM, something bigger and better happens.

Also Till is a lesbian Icon.

I love her so much ♡

About the Song during the fight between Nine and Bakugo and Deku.

*warning there's spoilers*

The song is called Might+U.

So @bdosamu and I were talking and they figured something out.

Initially I had been bothered by the name of the song, mostly because All Might had nothing to do with the fight. But I figured, creative licence right? Maybe its because Deku inherited All Mights power and he was sharing with Kacchan? Wrong.

@bdosamu grabbed me by the shoulder and said, Koi its not Might+U, it's Might Plus Ultra.

At this point it suddenly made sense. They were using sheer force- with all their Mights. They were going plus ultra. Might plus ultra.

Its a pun. We kinda laughed but then since we were already analyzing it we decided to work through the lyrics. Heres what we got from it.

The song opens with "You are not alone." At first look yeah hes with Kacchan but also lets go back to the sports festival.

When Deku was against Shinsou he got trapped within the mind control of the purple haired boy. He was helped out of it by the predecessors of one for all. So this lyric may mean that hes not only with someone physically but also in the sense that the predecessors are with him.

@bdosamu also mentioned that the line "We'll reach out to you" applies to this because in many of the manga panels depicting the predecessors, they are reaching towards Deku.

Another line to support this is when they sing "not all for one but one for all." This is a direct mention of the quirk and how its meant to be shared.

This is all very sad but makes sense.

But theres more! Who is singing the song, we mused. Then it clicked for me.

Nana Shimura, All Mights mentor and predecessor. She was the only person I could think would sing it, especially with it being a womans voice, but also, Shimura is the one usually reaching out in the panels and is the only woman known to hold One for All.

She is singing the song and trying to reassure Deku and possibly Bakugo.

Aaaaaaaaagh.

Congratulations on the announcement of Bungou Stray Dogs: BEAST movie! Hashimoto Shohei (Akutagawa Ryunosuke) and Torigoe Yuuki (Nakajima Atsushi) have already confirmed they will reprise their roles for the project. In addition, The Founding of the Armed Detective Agency and Dazai's Entrance Exam will also get stage play adaptations later this year. DEAD APPLE will get its own stage in 2021.

Here is Harukawa's response to the reveal.

This is such a touching moment, especially if you remember that Kunikida hasn't been the nicest or best towards Atsushi. Sometimes he breaks him down, like when he tried to save Kyouka, Kunikida told Atsushi he wouldn't be able to do it. Kunikida didn't originally want Atsushi in the detective agency and Kunikida often criticizes Atsushi attitude/reaction towards situations. They did bond however because Kunikida knew Atsushi would be strong, he trained Atsushi and he's mentored him alongside Dazai and the others. Atsushi was nothing but worried for Kunikida's health once he heard that he went missing and possibly died, he was never told he was alive or being brought to Anne's room. Once he does see Kunikida though he instantly hugs him because that's his mentor. Someone he bonds with and his friend. He doesn't even notice Kunikida's hands are missing because he's so relieved to see that Kunikida is alive.

Also, Atsushi hugs Kunikida so hard he knocked Kunikida off his feet as well as Kunikida's glasses. Adorable.
