Meaning behind Dazais bandages

Ok so I've noticed something in the anime that could potentially give a clue about the meaning of Dazai's bandages or at least he wore those over his eye during his days with mafia so bear with me.

In prison arc of the anime there have been moments when Dazai was mad/suprised and consequentially reverted back to his way of thinking when he was a member of Port Mafia: using and manipulating people, employing similar tactics to Fyodor.

And in all these moments there was something else that could be observed: his hair concealing one of his eyes, almost like it was used as a makeshift bandage.

Second thing I'd like to point out is in the finale when Dazai shows his plan was based on trust in other people and how he didn't control them or use them. His eyes specifically are in the clear view here, with his hair blown out of his face.

In this scene in particular he even holds the hair out of his eyes.

It reminded me of when he first started "living for others" back in season 2 when he first listened to an advice of someone else and received help from another person, moment where his world view changed forever.

So this is where the actual theory starts, I believe his bandages never had an actual use because in the scene above we can see his eye is healthy, but that they were always meant to showcase how much of the world he saw/was able to see. In all the moments he had something obstructing his vision he could see an incomplete version of the world and relationships: only way he knew how to interact with people was to use them and to manipulate them into furthering his own goals. But once that "obstruction" was gone he could actually see those subordinates looked like allies and people he could trust. So they weren't put on him by his own hand but by Asagiri as a way to show us how Dazai thought about people and relationships and how he was blind to the proper way of handling them.

I'd like to touch on Beast Dazai as well: I think he wore the bandages because he himself decided to limit his world view and how he perceives people around him- choosing to always make them his tools instead of allies. Even though he knows he can trust other people from the knowledge of canon Dazai he received from the book, he never had his own Oda to take off his bandages and show him how to live for others like canon Dazai had. The best he can do is to die for someone else.

In conclusion: All bandages ever were was a symbol of his limited world view, how he could only see people as tools, as things he can only control and manipulate but never receive help from or trust in them. When Oda took them off and made him live for others Dazai himself started trusting more and in the end got to where he is now: blindly believing that someone else would solve a problem he couldn't alone without any of his input. And having something he never could when he didnt see clearly: allies.

[originalaccountname]

what's your stupid thing you think Dazai learned during his two years in hiding while keeping himself busy

[spliqi]

higuchi thoughts of the day: as much as i love the idea of her having some devastatingly destructive ability… her having a healing/support ability would explain so much of her character. like. her high ranking in the mafia despite (as far as we know) not being extraordinarily strong. her assignment to akutagawa + his resentment of her + her being so overprotective of him. the irl author’s connection to mori and yosano. dw about it

[trix1erose]

a sigma sketch in trans colours! a little gift for a mutual- i think they’ll know who they are. hope you’re doing okay mate, well wishes from a fellow queer, i hope things start looking better soon <3

[sad-emo-dip-dye]

I always forget that this is also Dazai’s official introduction to the Mafia and for the past year he’s just been hanging out with Mori

[hellonoblesky]

The way I’m clinging for dear life to my theory that the ending victory of this arc will only be achieved by all three skk generations teaming up (as yet another display of moral grey and necessary evils and the strength of relationships chosen over relationships forced into that is so inherent in the bsd story) in the wake of ch 109 bc it’s the only thing stopping me from bawling.

[soukokumychildren]

favorite characters besides Soukoku?

Ranpo and Poe. Nikolai is growing on me. Wish Karma had more screen time

[altruistic-meme]

i love having sisters because they help me assign my silly blorbos to different omegaverse genders and also call Mori a tsundere

[plinko-mori]

Hii daddy, its me again. Im kind of obsessed with mori now after browsing through your page (i already thought he was a complex character before but now that admiration has turned into obsession) and im here to let the bsd fans know another fun fact — Mori, in the war (with Yosano), did exactly what Fukuzawa feared he would have to do if he joined the war hence didnt do it in the first place. Dont mine me writing a mori centric fanfiction soon TvT

WHEN YOU WRITE THAT FANFICTION SEND IT TO ME PLEEEEEEEASE 😭😭😭

Also no worries I love reading and answering asks <3

[lemon-pilled]

[sleepinghellokitty]

*Ranpo and Poe are doing something absurdly dangerous* Poe: I think Houdini did something like this once! Why, if I recall correctly, he was out of the hospital in no time! Ranpo, deadpan: Well that's encouraging. Karl:
