Wild thought, but I don't think skk's relationship was ever truly substantial until corruption got into the mix.

I don't think they even spent that much time working together prior to the events SB.

Yes, they were still a powerful duo. They still maintained their relationship with bickering and teasing. But it was all a little shallow, never something deeper going on.

Which made way for so much misunderstanding and miscommunication to occur between them. They couldn't read each other well- Dazai didn't always predict Chuuya's wild actions, and Chuuya never saw Dazai past the manipulative demeanor/playful facade, so he never truly trusted his words on things.

That can also be proven by Chuuya's dynamic with the Flags, his doubt and anger and mistrust. While you can chalk his behavior to what happened between him and the sheep, a part of me is confident that his surface-relationship with Dazai played a part in that as well.

Dazai and Mori were Chuuya's first impression of what the mafia world is, so anyone in the mafia should be like them, correct? That is what he was sure it was like: constant demeaning and manipulation, nothing genuine or real. So the flags' actions were always fake in his eyes, till the day they showed him a photo and he realized... Maybe they weren't.

But that deters us from the main point.

Skk's dynamic continued to be that of shallowness, which I imagine made way for many serious arguments between them when they were 15 for how differently they viewed things. They never really sat down, never had a moment of peace to just... talk or dwell or communicate. Never even bothered knowing the other past what they already know. Chuuya was simply Dazai's dumb and loud dog. Dazai was simply a suicidal freak and a bastard to Chuuya.

Until SB's events happened...

Specifically, this scene:

Clearly, this was the first time Dazai has shown that he cares about Chuuya without any filters or connotation. This was the first time Chuuya has seen Dazai being directly genuine with him.

And as mentioned, this was the first time Dazai was ever completely serious with Chuuya.

All because of Corruption.

And it would remain a trend from then on. Dazai's tone would always shift at the mention of using Arahabaki, of Chuuya's free will, of turning to Corruption as a last resort (see: corruption analysis).

These moments were raw. These moments were real.

And Chuuya would witness those moments that disprove his initial thoughts of Dazai simply being a heartless, soulless and twisted person. With confusion the first few times, then comprehension so deep it shifts his worldviews entirely.

Corruption forced soukoku to work along for more missions, forced them to see each other at their worst, lowest instances. Forced Dazai to witness Chuuya's quiet moments, forced Chuuya to experience qualities of care Dazai only reserves for special, special people...

Forced them to intensely understand one another, whether they liked it or not.

And ever so slowly, the trust that was built was something no one can ever shatter, no matter how many years of separation urged them to...

"What's with you, asking something like that?"

It's that moment. The moment sokouku's relationship became something so, so much more...

in the wake of chapter 118 dropping, i think the “maybe naomi is the third akutagawa sibling” theory is fun. and i also think it’s interesting that both she and gin are named after works by their respective authors and are not based on an author themself. probably nothing, but still interesting!!!

Hold on Akutagawa having a brand new outfit in the last episode. And what if he got recluted by a new organization? (The Order of the Clock Tower perhaps???)

Plan on making 'Join the Port-Mafia, we have cake!' flyers for the next time I cosplay from BSD.

We will see if I will follow through with the plan or not in six months.
