From Asagiri’s “Reception of Modern Literature” lecture at Chuo University’s Hakumon Festival. It's quite interesting, so sharing it here. It's confirmed that there'll be more arcs after this one is finished!

i've made this post before but truly so many of misa's fanon traits are just kiyomi's. "she thought she was special to light but actually he was just using her!" no that's kiyomi, misa knew the whole time and was fine with it. "he pressured her into killing people!" no that's kiyomi, misa was killing before she ever met light. "she deserved so much better!" no that's kiyomi, misa and light deserve each other and will go to hell but it's okay it's enrichment for them

i truly think the fact that misa is aware light's using kiyomi for the investigation is underutilized. the adultery is made 100% funnier when you realize that the entire task force (and misa) is in on it, and they still start wondering if he's actually two-timing because at this point in late-stage capitalightism light has stopped communicating with pretty much everyone

It’s interesting to me that Near never seems to have any hangups about being L during the canon timeline. There’s one scene where he rules out one possibility on the basis that it's “an insult to L”, but he doesn’t get caught up on it. It’s a mild consideration, something he uses as a guide to shape his plan, and then he moves on. But when we get to the C-Kira oneshot, there’s a notable shift. His hair looks longer and spikier; more similar to L’s hairstyle. He’s surrounded himself with giant card towers each in the shape of the letter “L”. He still carries the puppet version of L that he allegedly made “ugly” on purpose. The first thing he says when confronted with the news of a new Kira is that he’s considering what L would do. He starts calling the new Kira trash, calls it an insult to give him the same name, as if he idolises the original Kira - which is a drastic departure from the Near in canon who treats Kira like an insult to humanity.

It’s such a jarring change, and I feel like this has to be because of Mello. It’s telling to me that in Near’s one memory of L that he reminisces about, he also carries Mello’s puppet, on the same hand as his own, and he reflects on the fact that L chose “Mello or [him]self” as his potential successor. But we know, from Near’s speech in the warehouse, that Near doesn’t think of them as an “either or”. He always thought of them as a pair, who could never be good enough on their own. When he tackled the Kira case, he could act only as Near, because Mello was there to pick up the pieces where he fell short; but without Mello involved, he knows that to successfully fulfil the role of L, he has to think like both of them. He’s thinking about what L would do, but in many ways, he’s also thinking about what Mello would do. He has the careful, logical, patient half of L down, but he struggles to harness the bold, active, reckless part of L, because that was Mello’s half. It’s part of the reason why that bitterness comes out towards the end, where he denounces Kira and calls that “not very L-like”. He makes that statement on a whim, without thinking through the consequences. He acts quickly, a little impulsively, with hardly enough time to think through the consequences. He does what Mello would do.

I’m personally devastated that Mori and Fukuchi never got to meet. Not only would it be THE pettiest bitch-off the world has ever seen, poor Fukuzawa would be just sitting there in between them with no expression whatsoever as the Hunting Dogs, PM, and ADA just watched them with growing horror, unable to look away.

I feel so stupid. HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE ELISES BOW IS A DIRECT PARALLEL TO YOSANO'S BUTTERFLY!

Elise doesn't have is during the war and it being on the opposite side might represent how the butterfly is a symbol of hope and comfort for Yosano but Elise is a symbol of longing and regret for Mori.

im on my abuse cycle agenda again, so let me remind you that most of the abusers in it care about the recipients of that abuse.

mori has said in beast that he cares about dazai, but in the 15 light novel he says that a problem like dazai can be useful. he wants dazai to succeed but success to mori is very limited, meaning that the only way mori saw fit to raise dazai is to prepare him to be the mafia boss. he assumed they wanted the same things when all dazai wanted was to be happy and that the way to be happy was to survive the darkness long enough.

dazai has said that he believes that akutagawa could become one of the strongest members of the port mafia, that's including others like chuuya and kouyo by the way, if he could just play it smart. he chastises and belittles akutagawa to try to force him to use his head in the same way that he does, the same way that he had been ultimately forced to do. he pushes and pushes for akutagawa to get through the darkness when all akutgawa wants is to be useful to somebody.

akutagawa pushes kyouka to be useful. he wants her to work through the pain because he believed that eventually being useful would make her happy. and as we saw, akutagwa eventually realises that all kyouka wants to to be surrounded by people who love her, not to be a tool.

the headmaster wanted atsushi to be able to survive, koyo wanted kyouka to be able to thrive with her, most of them care about the people they abused. the only exceptions to the rule are abusers who see a goal greater than their victim or who are afraid of them.
