what can Atsushi's outfit tell us about his role, not only in the ADA, but the entire story?
(I'm slowly starting to cross-post everything from my tiktok analyses to tumblr and twitter. I'll link all of the original videos at the end of each post!)
let's first talk about what I think of as the Central Theme™️, something echoed throughout all aspects of BSD: the balance of light and dark. I have an entire tumblr post talking about it which you can read here, but for those of us who need a tldr: every character, organisation and even action is sorted into the category of "dark" (evil; yin; black) or "light" (good; yang; white). the PM is considered the "ruler of darkness," and the ADA the "guardian of the twilight."
when we first meet Atsushi, he is dressed in clothes that are ill-fitting and look very uncomfortable. we very quickly learn that his biggest internal conflict surrounds his lack of self-confidence- he thinks of himself as a nobody who belongs nowhere... and this is echoed in his outfit. in a city divided into black and white, he wears grey. his clothing does not only give us an insight into how we are supposed to see him, but also into how he sees himself!
this is where I want to bring up a point Asagiri sensei mentioned in an interview once- he chose Atsushi to be his main character because he felt that he could easily change the course of Atsushi's life. the RL Atsushi Nakaijima was not as well-known as the others, leading Asagiri sensei to feel as though he was more malleable than the others.
(translation via Popopretty1)
anyway, back to the costume design.
some people know this, but others have never heard: the outfit gifted to Atsushi in episode 2 (chapter 2) is comprised of items donated by each member of the Agency.
(I'm sorry for the Tanizakis but this image is just too helpful)
this outfit indicates a hugely important shift for Atsushi; the difference between being a nobody and becoming a somebody.
he became someone, because the Agency believed in him, far before he believed in himself.
the best part about all of this, to me, is that Atsushi still has a very long way to go! his character development so far has been so incredible, though, and comparing the Atsushi we know now to episode 1 Atsushi genuinely makes me tear up 🥺🥺
I hope this makes sense!! here's the original video link ~

Wip Jail!
In light of the cover reveal for @bsdcafezine I thought I’d share my struggle for it xD
When I first jumped into this piece I kept reassuring myself that I had a cheat brush to help me with the light effects… but as seen in the vid that brush did not give the effect I wanted so I manually did the shadowing and worked on the light from there on orz hhhhhh
The rendering took a while idk why procreate sped it up so much 😂
My lineart process was all over the place,, I kept jumping between different characters orz
and yes I replaced Tecchou with Sigma because one of the contributors said their favorite was Sigma so I added them in instead,,, sorry for the lack of Hunting Dogs here TT
I struggled with choosing a font for the text too… only to resort to writing it o n my own lol
Thank you for watching!! <3

(this is way longer than i intended but i didnt wanna dlete anything)
I love atsushi! i dont think he's boring, but he's not the favorite character (kunikida, my beloved <3)
I think that atsushi is in a cast of characters who all have estblished identities and backstory trauma and he seems like a fish out of water for the first bit (despite also having backstory trauma- but we don't know that, except for the one clip of "get out you good for nothin" that they play every 5 minutes)
atsushi spends so much time reacting to these other people (because we as the audience ALSO need to get to know them) that we end up knowing them better than atsushi!
but it doesnt make sense for that to be the case. so he looks like a boring mc, when in reality he's a very good mc surrounded by a shit ton of side characters who have enough development to be mcs THEMSELVES.
Is dazai the mc? is fyodor? no? so why do we spend 6 episodes on the THIRTY MINUTES of them going through the prison (yeah we're seeing atsushi and the airplane thing at the same time, but it's not as exciting as the prison arc was, was it? at least in my opinion)
What about The Dark Days? or Ranpo's three backstory episodes with the president? no atsushi to be found, and those are some of the most highlighted episodes!
the side characters hold as much of the stage as atsushi does-- sometimes MORE than atsushi does! and as a result he seems less interesting
when really he's very interesting, but he's surrounded by people whose backstories are freely given out while for our dear Sushi we only knew about the abusive orphanage (and next to chuuya's backstory that looks bland. its not bland! but like. next to dazai's?? on the surface it LOOKS bland)
GUYS
Y’all honestly need to give more love to atsushi bc he’s underrated in his OWN SHOW.
“But he’s a boring mc-“ Nuh Uh
He’s literally connected to the book somehow, his ability can literally rip other abilities to shreds,
Plus the theories on how he ended up in the orphanage and how much else he doesn’t even know happened to him bc he somehow forgot LITERALLY GETTING TORTURED BY SHIBUSAWA.
(My hc is that the headmaster definitely forced atsushi to be a cannibal-)
Like, his character is genuinely so interesting, and he’s one of the most mysterious characters in the show.
Same w Byakko. Like, an entirely sentient ability? Hello?
Plus all the shit w the headmaster?
And yet people say he’s boring… 😐
