#bsd abilities

[cyanimanga]

Got to meet the wonderful Danny Motta today, we were kinda matching lmao

Some about his panel below

He ranked (most) BSD abilities on a tier list

which I highly agree with lmao

Super funny guy, got to argue with him over abilities with the rest of the panel audience. Overall, great experience meeting Danny :D

[sorcerersandskillusers]

Just rewatched The Dead Apple and noticed something about Fyodors ability.

Every other ability that doesn't have a manifestation and is brought to life by the fog follows these 2 rules.

They form a copy of their wielder with a blank face with glowing eye's, and they have their Gem weak spot on their foreheads.

The only abilities that don't follow these rules are ones that have a manifestation and even then the humanoid ones still keep the gem on their forehead.

But then theres Fyodor, his ability not only manifests in a different outfit, but with a fully detailed face.

And his gem is on his hand, which is completely different to every other ability.

So Fyodors ability has not only completely ignored the drive to kill its wielder, but also does not manifest like any other, It breaks all three rules of the fog. The only other abilities to have faces are Elise and the Tiger, both of which have physical forms with faces outside of the fog. does this mean that Fyodors ability can actually manifest as a physical person outside the fog too? is that how he's communicating with the outside world from the prison? it opens up so many questions.

But there is one other ability that also breaks all three of these rules; Atsushi's

The tiger has its gem on the back of its neck, it also has a full face and at one point it attacks rashomon instead of Atsushi which is the only other time an ability deviates from attacking its user.

We know Fyodor was the one who told Shibusawa about Atsushi, and that he somehow knew his ability was special even before it had manifested. there is some connection between them that hasn't yet been explored and I'm really excited to see where it goes.

BSD is one show where details like this are rarely just coincidences, and considering how much mystery there is around Fyodors ability I'm sure that there is way more going on then it would first seem.

Analysing this gave me a new theory about Fyodors ability but I'll put that in a separate post, for now please tag me if this post inspired any new theories for you, I'd love to here them

The World?

Chapter 119 Spoilers

I was rereading Beast and near the end when Dazai is talking about the world taking place in the book, there’s this panel;

To paraphrase, it basically says that things written in the book switches places with the real world. So, the world isn’t the original.

And we know Fyodor wrote in the book, not to mention that in 119 Fyodor mentions that the book is their origin and originally I took this as a metaphor but then…why would a world need a bookmark as Fyodor called Atsushi. A world inside the book would need one but not the original.

So, the world we’re seeing could just be an alternate timeline and the original world is far away. This could also explain why everyone didn’t really die but instead get ‘materialized’, turned into atoms or dust or whatever. Their existence ripped out of the world, because it’s not their original world.

BSD CHAPTER 114.5 SPOILERS!!

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ASAGIRI

I AM GOIGN TO BREAK INTO HIS HOUSE WHAT THE FUVKKKKKKKKKKK

BRAM IS ALIVE HE HAS TO LIVE HES NOT ALLOWED TO DIE HES GOTTA LIVE HES JUST GOTTA

Also. TRIPLE SINGULARITY ?????!!!!!?!??!!!?

WHATTTY THE FUCK IMLISSEIBG MY MIND IM GONE IM ON THE FLOORRRR WAHT

Also fyodors ability!!! Tbh it wasn't what I was expecting exactly, but I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE BODY TSKING ON HIS LOOKS LETSSS GOOOOO

WHERE ARE MY BOYS ATSUSHI AND AKUTAGAWA BRO BRING THEM BACKKKKKK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Also SPEAKING OF THEM- REMEMBER THE THING AT THE END IF THE ANIME THAT ATSUSHI AND AKUTAGAWA WERE GONNA FIGHT? THATS THE TRIPLE SINGULARITY. IF. IF U DIDNT ALREADY KNOW.

Also fukuzawa protecting aya and bram calling aya "my princess" 😭💔

IM REALLY WONDERING SBOUT THAT SINGULARITY....... WE GOTTA BRING VERLAINE OUT OF THE BASEMENT FOR THIS ONE 😭

Hidudhwjdjrjwjejrhshwjwhrhkfkd

Also props to soukoku for doing nothing but look pretty this chapter. Love that for them

WHERE. IS MY BOY NIKOLAI HIM WORRIED ABOUT HIM 😭

My mind can't get off that singularity.... The abilities in BSD are one of my favorite things 😋😋 and singularities are so Jejfjsjwfjjwbdjfjejsjdbejdfbjdjsjs

Also FYODOR JSUT WONT STAY DEAD 😭 but is IS possible to kill him, just use poison or smth like that like dazai said. But he ALSO said "it wouldn't do to die by my hand" does that mean fyodors ability doesn't work on dazai? Is dazai the only one that can safely kill fyodor????? And if he is, does that mean fyodor is going to fight dazai while akutagawa and atsushi fight the triple singularity?

Or is it that fyodor will have the triple singularity kill him so he can become the singularity? I don't think so tho, seeing how it was only semi-senitaint at the end of the anime.. plus, fyodors goal seems different.

What IS fyodors goal here? What is he trying to achieve here? But besides that, since he took control of bram, I'm guessing he now has the ability to control all vampires. What does he plan to use the vampires for?

Idk but I'm absolutely losing my mind. We FINALLY got a fyodor ability reveal !!!!!! And although it wasn't as interesting as some of the theories, I'm just glad we finally know. It would make him really annoying tho..

[tulipe-rose]

Assuming the special division for unusual powers is the one that assigns names for each Ability, they probably named Dazai's Ability 'no longer human' in tribute to the fact that only humans are affected by Abilities, such that being unaffected by them is alien, and therefore branded as 'not human' (take Lovecraft for example). The painful part is that they called it no longer human in recognition to the fact that he was once human, making it all the more tragic for him. Imagine telling a middle schooler he was no longer considered a human; he literally just lost his humanity, and will probably be abused for it, the adults should've seen suicide coming from a mile away.

[haiisze]

Has Fyodor always hated ability users, or did he get that hate from the peoples bodies he took over?

This panel tells us that fyodor inherits the feelings and perhaps even personality traits of the people that killed him. And after a bit of thought, I realised that maybe fyodor didn’t always hate ability users and his hate was born from the hate of others.

We know that fyodor has been alive for god knows how many centuries and that the people he takes over are conscious right until he takes over.

This panel proves that

He probably has taken over at least one person who hated ability users and maybe even some of the people started hating ability users the moment they realised what was happening

Anyways-thank you to whoever is reading this! This is the first theory I’ve ever posted. I know it’s short and everything, so if you have any suggestions please tell me. If you don’t think this is true or want to prove me wrong, go ahead.

[diary-ofamadwoman]

Does Fyodor being introduced twice has something to do with his ability?

As we've seen in Dead Apple, Fyodor is the only one who isn't attacked by his ability. This is also the only case where the crystal is not placed on the forehead but on the hand instead.

As far as we know, his ability works with touch, which might explain why the gem is on his hand but not the difference to the other abilities.

Fyodor states that Crime and Punishment are friends and it seems like his ability when separated has a certain degree of consciousness, or that Fyodor is able to control it.

This contradicts what he told Sigma (that it's his ability that's in control). While it was obviously a way to trick Sigma, I wonder if there's a bit of truth in Fyodor's words.

Who's the puppet and who's the puppeteer? A role Fyodor loves to play, one that allows him to be in complete control of others' actions. Wouldn't it be interesting to see him in the opposite one - that of a puppet? Perhaps something's stronger than him and leaves him with no option but to obey...

Back to Fyodor's two introductions. One is in ch.12 (vol.3), while the other is in ch.37 (vol.9)

Could this symbolize that Crime and Punishment are indeed two separate entities? Or that Fyodor and his ability are? Why otherwise would Fyodor need two introductions unless it is necessary in order to introduce the two different characters?

Bungou Stray Dogs Original Abilities

I made the following abilities for Bungou Stray Dogs that are free to use with credit. The name of the abilities are mainly based off of the titles from the works of authors and poets.

Last Update: 25/08/24

╰┈➤

The Snake Song by R. K. Narayan: This ability allows the user to transform into a huge serpent. They gain all the characteristics and abilities of one, enhanced to a somewhat supernatural degree. The user can also grow and shrink as per their will in this form, from the size of a normal snake to the size of a two-and-a-half storey building.

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell: This ability allows the user to manipulate their shadow to do their bidding. The strength of the shadow depends on the intensity of light around it i.e. more the light, the stronger the shadow. If more than one shadow is formed by a light source, the user can control all of them at once. However, the attacks will be much weaker as the ability will be split between several shadows.

A Living God by Yakumo Koizumi (born Lafcadio Hearn): This ability allows the user to bring their echo to life. They can use it to relay messages and find hiding spots of specific targets by their will for up to thirty minutes at a time. However, this ability can work only in a closed rooms with hard walls.

War and Peace by Lev Tolstoy: This ability allows the user to induce either positive or negative feelings in its targets. They can induce a sense of violent rage which can suppress the affected person’s thoughts and cause them to blindly attack others as well as induce a sense of peace that replaces the rage with bliss and serenity. However, this ability can work only in a limited area and the user’s mind may divide to handle the opposing forces.

There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale: This ability allows the user to converse with the flora and fauna environment to the point of convincing them to act as personal messengers and spies. However, since the user has such a strong connection to nature, dangerous and unstable situations like violent conflicts can cause a lot of mental anguish.

Daffodils by William Wordsworth: This ability allows the user to induce a sense of blissful peace into anyone they touch after activation. While it is useful for calming people down, it can also be used to hypnotise people into a state of such penetrating ecstasy that not only does it render them completely ignorant to their surroundings but causes the victim to experience intense desperation and need to feel that kind of serenity for days after breaking out of it.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol: This ability allows the user to transport anyone they touch into a pocket dimension called Wonderland upon activation. It is frequented by characters such as the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter etc. who take on absurd forms and try to keep the target inside Wonderland by the means of bizarre requests. However, the target can escape by ignoring the characters’ demands and finding the exit. This ability is quite similar to Lucy’s.

‘The Scottish Play’ by William Shakespeare: This ability allows the user to imbue anyone with misfortune if anyone except themselves whisper the name ‘Macbeth’. The user has no control over what the misfortune is or when it will happen as the ability only assures them that it will happen with certainty. They may also revoke the curse by uttering the words, ‘fair is foul, and foul is fair’.

Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl: This ability allows the user to manifest a fox-like phantom which can steal any object the user tells it to do so but on the condition that the stolen object is used to help someone.

Vasilisa the Beautiful by Alexander Afanasyev: This ability allows the user to call upon a magical doll named Vasilisa to aid them in various tasks. Vasilisa can perform simple actions such as scouting, delivering items or providing advice. She can also heal minor wounds or provide temporary boosts to skills, adding to her role as a helpful and protective companion.

[kore-of-the-underworld]

I have a theory for season 6

First thing first, the background: The whole DOA's plan. From the purpose that pushed Fukuchi to do that: massive war in the future that killed millions of people all around the world, more severe than Great War which ended 15 years ago (before the main storyline). Then fueled as well by the hate to corrupted people in the government body who caused those issues. Therefore he tried to combine all armies in the world under one command leader, Army of Mankind to mitigate the future war. Therefore, a strong current incident/terror should be made in order to make the United Nations realize how important that thing is. And as Fukuchi confirmed, the proposal of DOA's plan came from Fyodor, which means he told Fyodor about the massive future war.

Now here several scattered info from Stormbringer novel apply in: The future big war Fukuchi mentioned is probably a singularity war. The Great War (the beginning of several major issues in BungoSD) as confirmed in Stormbringer novel, European countries competed to create singularity to be a weapon. Why singularity? Because, only singularity has enough energy to harm the world. Ability alone is considered as not harmful as it can't raze the world on its own because one of the ability principles: Ability has an output ceiling. This output ceiling doesn't exist in singularity (more about this in Stormbringer)

Three major powers during the Great War: England, France, and Germany competed to achieve that goal. Germany found a theoretical way to create a powerful singularity (not the normal clashing ability way as singularity from this method has limited energy, it'll run out). Then a rebel scientist in France managed to be the first one to realize that theoretical plan into reality. He created the first singularity that can be weaponized from the theory Germany found, yes, the birth of Guivre singularity (Paul Verlaine). Germany then stole the research file, shared it to their ally: Japan and another singularity was born: Arahabaki (Chuuya). Hearing German + Japan's success in creating singularity that has enough energy to destroy the world, France tried to steal Chuuya (that time was still 7 y.o.) from the lab in Japan. But the plan failed and that destructive Arahabaki incident happened. Soon after that, Great War ended with a ceasefire signed by France, Germany, England (as confirmed in 55 Minutes about the ceasefire process)

Now you might have realized which one amongst the three major powers during the Great War didn't have singularity (from that method) as a weapon. Yes, England. Tho they created the Shell (by H.G.Wells, first mention in 55 Minutes) and One Order. The Shell vs the new singularity: The Shell energy itself caused massive annihilation, a singularity effect, but fun fact, the energy was not enough to destroy Guivre singularity, instead it made Guivre stronger

Now, combine those things together with facts in Season 5. All of us witnessed that entity at the end of Season 5, right? Based on info in Stormbringer, that entity high probability is a singularity from Fukuchi's ability created from the same concept as Guivre (Verlaine) and Arahabaki (Chuuya) creation. Yes, few rare people in the world can create powerful singularity with near-UNLIMITED amounts of energy just by using their own ability. These people are called having "self-contradicting ability". Chuuya's original ability that created his singularity is "ability to amplify other abilities". Does it ring a bell? Yes, Fukuchi's ability is ability to amplify the effectiveness of any object he uses as a weapon, so theoretically Fukuchi is one amongst the special people. Full process about creating the singularity in Stormbringer

Now the question, why did that entity suddenly appear? Here is the crazy part of my coping theory: Another bigger and powerful party is involved. Huh? Yes. [Note: This is just me connecting the dots so I might be wrong] Remember which major power country doesn't have the singularity weapon during the Great War? Yes, England. What if England was behind this? Why? Remember we've seen Fyodor, Fitzgerald, and Agatha Christie (from the Order of the Clock Tower of England) were on call a long time ago in the manga. So, they know each other. Remember again who proposed the plan to Fukuchi? Fyodor. What is Fyodor's ultimate goal as mentioned the first time during the Cannibalism arc? Remove the sinners (ability users). So, what if the appearance of Fukuchi's singularity was planned so England can capture it (somehow) to be their weapon?

Now, add another thing from Stormbringer, Verlaine ,Chuuya's older brother who is also currently one of the 5 executives of Port Mafia, mentioned the Storm that will happen in the future. The only time Verlaine will appear again to give his assistance What is the Storm? He never gives specific explanations. This doesn't end here because Verlaine too has connection with the Order of Clock Tower, well... more to he caused an issue to them Verlaine destroyed the Order of the Clock Tower's credibility beyond repair as he easily killed 3 members of the Order and assassinated the Queen (glad the Order used body double) during her coronation. So, what if the other purpose of England doing this was to restore that? other than to obtain a powerful weapon (a singularity).

This also might somehow explain about why Fyodor can easily believe Chuuya was under control. Well, we don't know Meursault Prison's location, but it might be in France (as Meursault is a real location in France). Remember the thing France did during Great War? They tried to steal Chuuya from Japan. Now with Chuuya destroyed Meursault prison, France has strong reason to capture him. Plus Fyodor specifically targeted Chuuya to appear there. Remember when Nikokai asked him whether he wanted to change item? Fyodor basically said no need as he had assistance already (Chuuya).

I also think adam might come back or might save chuuya if he ends up being captured

but yeah this is all i have

[sorcerersandskillusers]

Random thought, if Dazai touched the holy sword that Bram was stabbed with, would it just turn into a guy?

Since Solzvene was a person at one point and an ability turned thier corpse into metal, would Dazai touching it revert that and turn the sword into just meat and bones?

"You've earned no favors yet." -NLH

Ability structure/ anatomy:

-Abilities are made of energy. Both in Earth's dimension and in their own, the only difference being that their own dimension is adapted to their construction. That is to say, their state of existence is handled differently in each dimension.

On Earth:

-Abilities display their physical forms using Earth's atmosphere, light and gravity. They automatically adapt their own sense of gravity to the space they exist in, as they are not entirely physical on Earth.

They are physical enough for humans to come in direct contact with but not enough to be damaged.

As their forms on Earth are seen as variables, they have control over dematerializing and rematerializing at will from their human host.

Control and regulate the speed of their descent from a high jump. Which they can preform through temporary detachment from our gravity, as it does not bind their form energy.

-Abilities are bioluminescent. The level of energy / power coursing through them radiates to the exterior through glowing limb extremities most of the time.

Abilities can be damaged on Earth. Though only the physical form. As soon as the physical form sustains too much damage, the ability retreats to its current host and is on stand by from anywhere between hours and up to a month and more as they take the time to regenerate. Seeing as their physical form represents the extra energy the host body couldn't comprehend, the energy doesn't return inside the body, but it compacts itself and materializes into a small gem. (Much like we've seen in Dead Apple but they won't all be red).

*at school*

Bully: are you gonna do my homework or not nerd

Kajii: are you gonna pay me?

*lemon bomb blows up*

Kajii: *unharmed* what the fuck

Part 1

[note-boom]

Something about bsd abilities and trauma and also literature as escapism to face reality better. Something about Atsushi's fantasy being all about strength and self healing and a rampaging "beast beneath the moonlight" when reality forces him to rely on others to heal and emphasizes his empathy and "weakness." Something about Dazai's escapist fantasy and character trope as something "no longer human" when he actually is very much human. Something about Yosano's fantasy being a world where "thou shalt not die" when reality keeps making her face death. Something about Kunikida's desires to be a "lone poet" against the world with just him and his ideals realised when reality is full of people he can't abandon. Or Kenji escaping into a world where he is "undefeated by the rain" and putting his entire soul into living that dream out. Or Akutagawa being (philosophically) consumed by his "rashoumon" when reality shows he doesn't always have to devour and overtake....

Hi :3 You already know why I’m here :>

And yes technically you’ve already done this but-

Q analysis and I will give you my soul :>

Q Character Anaylsis

My old analysis of Q was kind of bad so here is a new and improved one! No spoilers hopefully :3

Q is a very complicated character in my opinion, simply because we don’t know much about them despite multiple approaches and Dazai fearing them, they have this air of mystery to them that is very interesting in my opinion so- let’s take in the literature base first, Dogura Magura by Yumeno Kyūsaku.

In Dogura Magura the narrator wakes up in a hospital, finding out that he was originally an experiment and killed his mother and wife and he inherited his psychotic tendencies. The novel is inspired by Freudian Psychoanalysis- an idea that people could be cured by making their unconscious a conscious thought and motivations, and by that gaining "insight".

So, relating this to Q, their ability is a mind control that forces illusions on people who intentionally or unintentionally harmed them, we can relate this to Freudian Psychoanalysis since Q makes an unconcious thought (I assume fear?) conscious as an illusion that drives people to attack others because of it. Q thinks of their ability as a curse because they know how dangerous it is, and we also know that abilites can influence the user as well so perhaps Q's psychotic nature is due to their ability and how they grew up.

Q has some major issues on how they see society as well, their hatred of their ability was obviously a result of how people treated them and perhaps they feel that society deserves to be forced to see their fears (we know that Q has "fun" when using their ability on others after all). Their personality seems to flip flop between being an innocent child and being sadistic, they are good at following directions and ignoring their wants.

When Q was captured by the guild, we saw that they were easily influenced, they took answers that were given to them and believed it easily, even when it was something that mentally harmed them or made them hate themselves even more. Q's appearance could also relate to their personality since it seems split, half black and half white hair, different shaped pupils, etc.

Though we know that character designs in BSD are based off of the popular works of the authors so I might just be reaching for straws
