#Sakunosuke Oda

[nihilo-sensei]

Something else I noticed that I haven't seen anyone talk about: I think Oda saw himself in Dazai to an extent. Oda didn't tell Dazai to go into the light to honor his memory, he did it because he knows "better than anyone" that the path he wants his friend to walk is better than the one he's on. That's, I hope, common knowledge in the fandom. But I don't think it's just he and Dazai's circumstances that Oda saw parallels in. The descriptions of Oda back when he was a teenage assassin are very similar to descriptions of Dazai when he was that age: Lifeless eyes and voice, detached demeanor, and bleak philosophical outlook.

Oda was as cold-blooded as they come when he was a contract killer. He went from that to being someone he took care of orphans and sincerely loved them to the point where losing them destroyed his will to live. If he could change that radically, why do some people still assume that Dazai hasn't despite all evidence to the contrary?

I’ve finally gotten around to reading the BSD light novels besides 55 Minutes. (I’m starting Storm Bringer today!) After marathoning them, I’ve never been more confident in my assessment that the people who think Dazai is a cold-hearted psychopath who doesn’t care about anyone but himself or that he hates Akutagawa or that doesn’t see himself in Aku or that he doesn’t care about the Agency or that he only does good to honor Oda have no textual ground to stand on.

Oda: if I had a nickel for every time I had to carry an injured teen with gunshot wounds wearing a long black coat and threatening to kill me, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Dazai: My feelings for Chuuya are strictly platonic.

Ango: I see...What color are his eyes?

Dazai: Ocean blue, not in a weird way but in a way your ship can get lost in their waves and you’d never want to escape because it feels like an adventure and discovering new things in life...

Odasaku: Right...

Ango: What color are my eyes?

Dazai: Idk brown? Shut up Ango I'm talking about Chuuya.

Between Dazai calling Oda a "balm for the soul" to Mori and him giving Akutawaga a whole lecture about how he couldn't beat Oda in 100 years.

I love the mental image of Dazai just going into tangents about how great Oda is around other mafia members and them being completely baffled when they meet him, and he's like the most underwhelming person ever.

Mafioso: "Why does one of the top five executives never shut up about you?"

Oda: "I really don't know. He's been like that since I tied him to a bed and force-fed him porridge"

Mafioso: "YOU DID WHAT!?"
