#Maybe dying was really the only thing Akutagawa could do to redeem himself.

Do you think atsushi has a black and white viewpoint? Can you show examples of that?

I mean, I guess? Why does this ask sound like a literature textbook reading comprehension exercise afvjtcarcnkyvarvkufsgb

I don't think the issue with Atsushi is him having a black and white view as much as it is him being superficial and quick to judge; he has a very high consideration of Dazai because when he first met him he looked extraordinary and good to him, and nothing about Dazai Atsushi finds out is going to change the positive opinion he has of him. He first saw Akutagawa and Fitzgerald as ruthless evil people when he first met them, and that's everything they're ever going to be to him. The issue with Atsushi is that he won't change his mind easily; but I don't think that necessarily means he sticks to black and white views. He loves Kyouka despite he's seen the most ruthless side of her in more than one occasion. He understands where Lucy comes from. He admires Dazai despite knowing he's committed crimes in the past. He even came to forgive his abuser the orphanage director, to an extent. In Dead Apple, he says “a boy always uses the claws of a tiger in order to live”– that does sound like he contemplates there's no true good or evil, and you could hardly expect any less from the Bungou Stray Dogs protagonist.
