#sub Arthur Rimbaud

[missy-0-piink]

Omg punishing Rimbaud by stripping him naked tying him down while you push a cold glass buttplug into him. Lick the tip of his dick or his nipples while you have ice cubes in your mouth. Pls I live for temp play with Rimbaud <3 <3

Stop omg-

Ffffuck

I just know that rimbaud would get so high pitched and breathy when you do this- his body jolting each time you flick a cube over his nipples or tip, no matter how much he expects it.

And it’s such a beautiful sight too, his body shivering with both arousal and cold, goose flesh visible on his skin. He hides the bottom half of his face in his scarf- the only thing he’s wearing, his face and chest absolutely flushed red, despite his sniffling and teary eyes pleading with you to stop.

He sobs- practically screams when you press the edge of the IceCube into his slit, And when you spit the Ice cube into your hands while letting your tongue warm up, he doesn’t even know what’s coming-

Well, I mean, he is, after you replace the chilly cube with your hot mouth instead

Stormbringer (And 15) spoilers ahead!!

Ough, Rimbaud becoming a singularity for Verlaine haunts me. I'm 99% sure Paul would be able to use Illuminations, now, but it opens up avenues for so much angst! Like, does he just activate the sub-space to sit in it, because Illuminations is Arthur's; At it's core, it's just as much his home as Rimbaud himself was, and it's all he really has left of Rimbaud in that way. Not to mention, the fact that Chuuya's, and by extension, Verlaine's, ability don't work in Illuminations. It'd be the ultimate safe-space for a man who believes himself to be less then human, somewhere he can be really be truly, actually, a person. Guivre can't affect him, there.

So, I was wondering what if there was a language barrier between reader and the BSD Cast...what would the charecters do?

Like reader speaks a language that none of the charecters speak.. for example Korean, Chinese or like Malay ...

This isn't a request it is more like a question..

Also, is it ok to write fanfiction about this AU? With credits ofc .

Hello!

Of course, it's okay to write fanfiction on this AU! I will be happy to read it. 😊

And to the languages

Self-Aware! BSD. World Building. Languages

I was planning to add this one even before I got the question.

Warning: English is my second language.

There are two types of languages, that characters can speak.

First - Cannon language.

Language, that character must speak, based on cannon information, or have a huge chance to know, despite not having any evidence in cannon.

What does it means?

Based on cannon information:

It means, that character from Japan will know Japanese (ADA, Port Mafia, Government, Hunting Dogs...)

Characters from America/England will know English (The Guild, Bram Stoker)

Characters from Russia will know Russian (Rats in the house of the dead, Nikolai Gogol /I will return to him in a moment/)

Japanese language is also 'universal' language, all characters knew Japanese.

Have a huge chance to know:

Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud knew French, because, canonically, they are from France.

Nikolai Gogol knew both Ukrainian and Russian, because real-life Gogol knew both of these languages and were raised, hearing these languages.

But! Languages, that real-life authors learned, aren't familiar to Characters.

RL! Nikolai Gogol could speak French, but BSD! Gogol can't, because it wasn't shown in canon.

To sum up, Characters can speak languages, that they spoke in manga/anime and their real-life prototypes learn since birth.

_____

Second - 'Sponge' languages.

Languages, that Characters... 'absorbed'.

What does it mean?

It means, that characters will absorb the language you read manga/LN on, and dub/sub of the anime.

Also, BSD Mayoi are available in English/Japanese/Korean/Chinese.

So, if you watch anime on Japanese with Korean subs, read manga on Chinese and light novels on Malay, characters will know these four languages.

Doesn't matter, how official dub/sub or LN/Manga translations, characters will absorb the language.

____

And if there are no dub/sub or translation on Reader's language?

BSD Characters will find online lessons, when they gain access to Internet search.

And, they won't try to travel into the real world until they can speak Reader's language fluently.

Concept: Executive Ace was a spy.

So I saw one of those bsd characters nationalities lists. And for some reason I was surprised by Ace being British.

Even though I shouldn’t be because I know his ability comes from “The madness of George III.” He’s very obviously British and I am embarrassed.

But it got me thinking because as far as we know there’s only been 2 other non Japanese members of the Port Mafia.

Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine who are both French.

Rimbaud’s the one I’d like to focus on because he was also an executive (sub executive in his case) like Ace.

And both of them hid their real names. Rimbaud went by Randou and Ace’s real name has to be Alan Bennett. Because he’s the one who write the playwright Ace’s ability gets its name from.

Rimbaud kept his name a secret because he was a spy. So what if that’s the reason Ace kept his a secret too. Ace in general is such a weird character. He’s never involved himself in any conflict despite being an executive.

And well, he’s an executive.

I get his ability is cool (read: horrific) and all but damn Mori your standards really slipped huh? Hired a man who hates you and thinks you’re a terrible leader and has no loyalty to your organisation.

What because he bought in his way in?

So I’m just like what if he was a spy like Rimbaud. His goal being to destabilise and destroy the Port Mafia from the inside. And that’s why he tried to recruit Fyodor to help him overthrow Mori.

And why he had a list of all the Port Mafia’s weaknesses.

Maybe Mori figured him out and kept him close for that reason. Then again Mori doesn’t exactly have the best track record with realising he has spies in his organisation.

And Fyodor deemed him a necessary sacrifice to his goal. I mean it’s not the first time he’s killed a Brit in this series so might wanna keep an eye on that Agatha.

I dunno there’s just something weird about Ace for a guy who shows up just to be killed. Though I know I’m probably reaching so who knows.

Meursault’s Origins

Hello everyone! (Or the approx 4 and a half people who will view this!) 

I was wondering recently why Meursault’s appearance in the anime/manga looked so damn familiar and it FINALLY clicked tonight! And I decided to share my likely insane revelation. Hint: It involves someone we already know.

My theory is that Meursault is an experiment that was based on Arthur Rimbaud’s ability “Illuminations” and then later perfected after the war had finished. From what we know about the Great War in the BSD Universe it involved a fair amount of ability users! From spies-- Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, to medics-- Yosano Akiko, Mori Ougai, to soliders-- Fukuchi Ochi, Fukuzawa Yukichi, even experimental life forms designed to turn the tide of a war-- Nakahara Chuuya. Basically the whole war became a clash of abilities so strong and volatile that it nearly tore the whole world apart. And who do we know who is fantastic at containing volatile entities/abilities and served in the war on the side of France? Mr. Randou himself. 

Exhibit A: The location of the prison itself. France is the known origin country of Arthur Rimbaud. He served the DGSS in it’s field operations division for many years there and remained loyal to them until losing his memories. I always found it odd that Meursault was in Western Europe since most of the major conflict arcs take place locally in Japan but this could explain the significance. Meursault itself is also a French word which could be another tie or simply a clue to its precise location. 

Exhibit B + C: We know that Illuminations is capable of containing extremely powerful abilities within its hyperspace AND capable of restraining Dazai when needed. Rimbaud literally retrieved an entity who defies the laws of physics in the form of Arahabaki and was also easily able to work around the possibility of nullification when battling Dazai in the Fifteen Arc by simply encasing him within a sub-sub space of his ability.  

Exhibit D: French researcher Pan and the existence of Black No. AKA Paul Verlaine. We already know that experimentation was happening in France at the hands of a citizen and that when the DGSS became aware they halted it. However, we know that the information gathered by these trials was not destroyed as it falls into the hands of the Japanese Government a short time later leading to ...

(Suribachi City built in the aftermath of Arahabki emerging due to war time experiments.) 

We don’t know exactly why the information was never destroyed. Unless there was reason to keep it under government power rather than riding the world of unethical, immoral instructions on human lab rats. Something like using it in further experiments themselves? 

Exhibit E: This is likely painfully obvious but it just looks similar! The yellow, glowing, floating squares evoke the same imagery. Which I admit could be a coincidence and why the cells are rounded rather than squares in the anime ... but the yellow, shimmering look is interesting. 

Now ... why would such a thing be needed? And why would such a thing exist specifically in times of war? Well I thought about and decided that maybe Meursault has a darker history than we imagined. I wonder if Mersault was designed to house prisoners of war. A prison that could entrap any ability user for an indefinite period of time sounds rather helpful when the enemy has strong Gifteds, right? Imagine Mori’s troops without Yosano Akiko or Japan losing Fukuchi Ochi’s Mirror Lion ability for combat? It could easily turn the tide of the war if enough ability users were removed from the battle field. It’s only once the war is over that it is converted to a maximum security prison 

And maybe all the other sneaky experiments contained within its walls are halted ,,, dense water anyone? It would suck to be waterboarded with as an enemy spy or to surround important locations where you do not want enemy forces marching into. Interesting technology at the very least and quite possibly the result of another gravity manipulator? Someone else we know? Such as Paul Verlaine, another French spy who was involved in experiments himself? It’s all very intriguing, my friends!

Psst...

Psst...

Rimbaud (or Verlaine) and you filling both of verlaines (or Rimbauds) holes.

👹AHHAHAHAHAAH👹

You don’t know what you’ve done

Since I already wrote bottom verlaine threesome, I’ll make Rimbaud the bottom this time 😼

————

Rimbaud, the poor thing, was sobbing

Your big strap fucking into his sensitive ass while Verlaine drove his cock deep into his throat was driving him crazy

He couldn’t think, he could only feel

And you were having an amazing time

The sight of Rimbaud, a usually modest and dignified individual, laying on his back, cock hard and leaking as his body twitched and trembled from the force of your thrusts, and the way the bulge of verlaines cock appeared and disappeared in rimbauds throat in tandem with his thrusts, long hair strewn about?

It made you wild

Not to mention the sounds, the sobbing, choking and moaning, as well as the gagging noises made your imagination run wild with the images of how Rimbaud would be looking right now, if you could see him, that is

His head was tilted back, the perfect angle for Verlaine to have his way with him, but unlucky for you because you could only see the bottom of his jaw, chin and lips (which were all coated with precum and saliva, by the way)

And Verlaine was feral, he must’ve been pent up because he ragged breathing and moaning was only making both you and Rimbaud even more aroused

And you could see Verlaine,

His face flushed red, eyes half lidded as he seemed intensely focused on rimbauds face and throat (you were slightly jealous), his hair sweaty and sticking to his forehead

You could also see the way his abs flexed as he humped into rimbauds hot and inviting mouth, the way he was slightly hunched over on top of Rimbaud with his hands placed on his chest for leverage to power his thrusts even more, arms flexing

But, tonight the focus was on Rimbaud, so you moved your gaze back down to him

And with so much of him stimulated, what other things could you do to tease him before you let him cum?

You moved your eyes to his chest, where his nipples looked so enticing, pink and hardened from the air that’s seems to always be cold to him

You leaned over, still thrusting into him, and you could see Verlaine give you a (frankly, adorable) look of confusion, before your mouth connected with one nipple as a hand connected to the other

Rimbaud jumped, his chest arching into you as he let out a surprised squeal while you sucked, licked, nibbled, pinched and toyed with his sensitive nipples

You could faintly hear an “oh, merde-“ (“oh, shit”) from above you as Verlaine sped up his thrusts

After a couple of minutes of that, with Rimbaud seeming like he was close to breaking (his broken moans evidence of that), you moved to wrap your hand around his neglected cock

The reaction was instantaneous, with Rimbaud twitching and moving erratically, struggling to take in the onslaught of pleasure from every major pleasure point of his body

He choked on his moans (and cock) as he trembled, tensing when you slowly pump his cock

It only took a few strokes before he was gone, whimpering as he toppled over the edge of pleasure as he came, semen shooting out from his cock in strings of white

His throat convulsing sent Verlaine over the edge too, with his loud grunting reaching your ears as he emptied into rimbauds mouth

Rimbaud went slack, body twitching as he heaved for air when verlaine pulled out

When rimbauds head wasn’t forced back like it was while deepthroating Verlaine, you could actually see his face and wow

He looked absolutely wrecked

Face flushed and sweaty, mouth parted with semen and saliva dribbling out, eyes barely open and rolled back, only the whites visible

He whined when you pulled out, his hole twitching around nothing as you got up to get the washcloth you had set aside, before returning and cleaning him up

(His whole body flinched as you cleaned up his dick, sensitive beyond belief, Verlaine was comforting him during the process 🥺)

Once you were all cleaned up, you laid beside each other, a comforting silence surrounding you

And though it happens rarely, Rimbaud felt warmth in your embraces

Keeping Up with the Port Mafia: Lore Edition

I might or might not have a favoured spot for the Port Mafia and Asagiri definitely has the habit of dropping lore and timeline all over the places, so I thought I'll compile an everything-we-know-about-the-PM (and some speculation maybe?) post in chronological order (mostly for my own reference). For easy timekeeping, time posts are converted to years-before-present aka Chapter 1 of the main manga, and characters' ages at the time will be in brackets, eg. Dazai (14). There will be spoilers for canon materials up until June '22 (to be updated if we get something new).

Let's categorise the PM history into three main phases: (1) Before Mori, (2) Mori's entrance and MPMGA (Make the PM Great Again), (3) Dark Era and the Present PM.

1. Before Mori (?? – 12 years ago)

Known members: previous boss, Hirotsu Ryuurou, Kouyou Ozaki (join times: all unknown), Randou (real name: Arthur Rimbaud, join time: 15 years ago)

Not much is known about the mafia during this period. What little is known, though, paints a pretty terrible picture. The Port Mafia was the biggest and most powerful underground organisation in Yokohama, but the previous boss was described to be violent, sadistic, and grew progressively even more insane and unpredictable towards the end of his illness, and his rule was described as a "bloody tyranny."

One [..] day, the residents of an entire housing complex died when their water tank was poisoned on the off chance that a rival organization's executive was hiding there. And on yet another day, the previous boss issued a citywide notice that anyone who spoke ill of the Port Mafia would be put to death and anyone who reported such talk would be rewarded. The entire city spent the next several years engaged in a witch hunt with everyone suspicious of one another. Yokohama became a city of traitors; over a thousand people were executed, many of whom were apparently known at the time to be innocent. (Dazai, Chuuya, age Fifteen LN)

While he maintained the power of the PM, the previous boss also caused the reign of terror over the city and directly led to its instability, as shown by smaller gangs taking advantage of the PM's reputation to sow more chaos without repercussions (Ch. 50, Fukuzawa and Mori's flashback), as well as the rise of groups like The Sheep, originally formed to protect orphans against the Yokohama underworld. We know he treated his subordinates terribly, through the story of Kouyou (14?) and her mysterious man (Ch. 37), how most men had deserted the mafia by the time of his death, or how Hirotsu, probably the most 'traditional' loyal mafia man, barely blinked when he heard proof Mori cut the previous boss's throat (Ch. 33). It was also implied he didn't know how to use his subordinates efficiently, as Randou, with his OP subspace ability and presumably above-average intelligence even after losing his memories, was only relegated to a low-level grunt during his reign. This serves as contrast to Mori, who promoted Randou to sub-executive immediately after his ascension to PM boss.

What other main players were doing at the time:

During the Great War (?? – 14 years ago), Mori (?? – 26) served as the JPN army doctor, while Fukuzawa (?? – 31) served as a government assassin alongside Fukuchi, until the former quit. For unknown reasons, Mori left the military after the war to work as an underground doctor and informant, where he (28) met Natsume-sensei sometime 12 years ago.

Fukuzawa, after quitting assassin work because he was enjoying killing too much, worked as a bodyguard until he encountered Ranpo 13 years ago (the events of Untold Origins of the Detective Agency). 1 year later, to protect Ranpo, he (33) approached Natsume sensei for a Skilled Business Permit and was introduced to Mori (Ch 50, flashback). Both men undertook their first mission together at the manor and were then inducted into the Tripartite Plan. We also know both of them shared hatred for how the previous boss ruled the PM.

Dazai's whereabouts at this point are unknown. Fifteen LN suggests he and the previous boss were familiar (antagonistically) with each other, but whether it's due to them having known each other before Mori or purely due to Dazai's association with the doctor after he was 14 is hard to say definitively.

After the Arahabaki incident 15 years ago, Chuuya (7) joined the Sheep and acted as their 'leader', while Verlaine (age?) defected from his previous job as a French spy to become a rogue assassin

Oda had gained infamy working as an assassin in Yokohama since time unknown until he (14) read Natsume Souseki's novel, was approached by the man himself about writing the ending, and then quit assassin work 14 years ago. He continued doing odd jobs before the events of The Day I Picked Up Dazai (Side A) bonus story

2. Mori's entrance and Making the PM Great Again (12 years ago – 5 years ago)

Members initiated, by chronological order: Mori Ougai (personal physician, boss), Dazai Osamu (member, executive candidate), Nakahara Chuuya (member, executive candidate), Sakaguchi Ango (accountant, Special Division for Unusual Powers spy), Paul Verlaine (member, trainer), Oda Sakunosuke (low-level grunt)

Members lost: previous boss (assassinated by Mori), Randou/Rimbaud (betrayal, killed by SKK), the Flags and others (killed by Verlaine/Guirve), 84++ members and executive member 'Colonel' (killed in Dragon's Head Conflict)

12 years ago: Sometime after Fukuzawa's and Mori's first mission together, Mori managed to gain employment as the PM boss's personal physician and Fukuzawa's somewhat established the ADA with Ranpo as its only member (Ch. 66, their info boxes)

11 years ago: However, at the time, the previous boss was presumably still lucid and had the full backing of the PM members, which must have led Mori to believe the "most optimal" option to take him down was through force. Having no manpower of his own, Mori remembered his botched Undead Army plan during wartime and searched out Yosano ("3 years after the war" Ch. 66), which led to the breakdown of his and Fukuzawa's partnership. Upon Ranpo's invitation, Yosano (14) officially joined the ADA.

8 years ago: Without Yosano, Mori continued to bide for time while the PM's brutality continued. However, during this time the previous boss's illness grew worse (naturally? or did Mori poison him with something slow-acting as his plan B??) making his actions more volatile. Regardless, the previous boss started losing the trust of the PM members, as well as the PM's standing in the underworld due to increasing casualties. The time was ripe for a takeover.

It was then that Dazai (14) came into Mori’s care after a suicide attempt. Recognizing Dazai’s intelligence as an asset (and missing the fact that he can’t be trusted), Mori enlisted Dazai’s help to plan the assassination of the previous boss. Their plan carried on without a hitch, and Mori (32) succeeded as the Port Mafia boss (this might just be a hint towards Dazai’s real past; after all, people don’t send just any suicidal kid to the care of the mafia’s private doctor)

7 years ago aka the events of Fifteen LN: Mori had successfully removed the previous boss from power, but the succession was not smooth; he lacked trust from the factions still loyal to the previous boss, the mafia still lacked resources and talents due to the previous boss's action, and they were losing territories to rivals (Takasekai, GSS, Sheep). However, after the "Fake Predecessor" case, Dazai (15) and Chuuya (15) officially joined the PM and worked under Mori and Kouyou, respectively. With their help, Mori would go on to regain control and expand the PM.

Sometime during this period, Ango (19) joined the Port Mafia as a spy for the Special Division for Unusual Powers.

Two years ago, Ango went to Europe for business after he had been in the mafia for a year and gained their trust. (Dark Era LN pg 68-69, suggesting Ango joined the PM 3 years before its events.)

6 years ago, part 1 (Assassination King's Incident aka events of Stormbringer LN): Verlaine came into town looking for his 'brother' Chuuya (16). The resulting conflict resulted in heavy casualties for the PM, with 5 executive candidates (the Flags) and many ability users dead, and forced them to withdraw their influence significantly in the Yokohama underworld to protect them from the government's scrutiny. However, it was not a total loss: laying low would later help them through the DHC, they gained yet another government-level secret weapon in Verlaine (though his ability was significantly weakened), and Chuuya now knew how to activate Corruption (this can also be considered a turning point that secured Chuuya's loyalty to the PM as well as continued to build momentum for Soukoku's later infamous partnership)

6 years ago, interlude: Dazai (16) went undercover to investigate the rumours of a powerful figure in the city and ended up establishing a friendship with Oda. Upon Dazai's invitation while they were drinking in Lupin, 'Odasaku' (21) joined the Port Mafia (The Day I Picked Up Dazai, Side A short story.)

6 years ago, part 2 (Dragon's Head Conflict): An 88-day war occurred in Yokohama's underworld over a 500 billion yen inheritance. Due to laying low since the Assassin King Incident, the PM got away with the least damage in the beginning of the conflict. During this time, Dazai and Oda befriended Ango, thus began the trio's friendship until Dark Era. The Special Division brought in Shibuwasa (23?) intending to end the war, but he turned on them, started his own organisation, and made the casualties worse in his quest to acquire ability gems. He was eventually confronted by Dazai and Chuuya (16) and believed to have died when Chuuya used Corruption (Dead Apple multiple adaptations). This was implied to be the first time 'Soukoku'/Double Black term was coined ("[Chuuya and Dazai] destroyed an entire organization in one night" - Ch. 30) and marked the end of the DHC.

After the end of conflict, [the Port Mafia's] influence expanded rapidly in the burn-out underworld. Like a young tree after a forest fire that was remarkedly growing without the sunlight being obstructed. (Stormbringer LN, translated by @/Chibikko_Chuuya)

5 years ago: unknown (please ask twitter user @/kafkaasagiri)

3. Dark Era and Present PM (4 years ago – Present)

Members update: Sakaguchi Ango (intelligence agent, defected), Dazai Osamu (executive, defected), Nakahara Chuuya (executive), Paul Verlaine (executive)

Members initiated, by chronological order: Akutagawa Ryuunosuke & Gin (Dazai's subordinate, Black Lizard), Kajii Motojirou ('Sneering Lemon Incident'??uncertain), Tachihara Michizou (Black Lizard, Hunting Dog spy), Higuchi Ichiyou (Akutagawa's assistant), Izumi Kyouka (assassin)

Members lost: Sakaguchi Ango (defected), Oda Sakunosuke (killed by Gide), Dazai Osamu (defected), Izumi Kyouka (defected), Ace (executive, suicide by Fyodor), everyone? (vampires???)

4.5 years ago: Dazai (18) was made executive, the youngest in mafia's history. On the same day (The Heartless Cur short story), he professed to come across the news that a PM sub-organisation killed all of Akutagawa's friends and after baiting them to kill each other, successfully invited Akutagawa (16) and his sister, Gin, to join the PM.

(Note: the "4.5 years" was taken from Beast manga, where the same event happened except Beast!Dazai rejected Akutagawa to take Atsushi as his protégé instead. Since it is assumed Beast!Oda picked up Akutagawa the same time as canon!Dazai picked up Atsushi by the river, the length of time should apply as well?)

(to be confirmed) According to the order of events listed chronologically at the end of Stormbringer LN, a 'Sneering Lemon Incident' was supposed to take place between Dazai's promotion to executive and Mimic Incident. This might be when Kajii was recruited to the PM.

4 years ago aka events of Dark Era LN: Mimic came to Yokohama after getting Ango (22)'s information, which was actually manipulated by Mori (36). Everything went according to Mori's plan: the spy Ango was removed from the PM after exhausting his usefulness as a Special Division liaison, Mimic was removed with minimal casualty as Oda (23) would not have contributed much to the PM when he refused to kill, and the PM obtained the Skilled Business Permit, which would free them from most government interference and basically solidified their uncontested position as ruler of Yokohama's underworld. It is heavily implied Dazai (18)'s defection was planned as well, though Mori's reason was never stated definitely.

The organization had received an item of great value, something that more than made up for the total pecuniary damage and loss of talented subordinates. That included Dazai's disappearance as well. Logically, the results couldn't have been better. Everything was going according to plan. (Dark Era LN, Mori's PoV)

(The surface meaning of the above quote suggested Dazai was another calculated loss like Oda, while Dazai said Mori was afraid he would be usurped by Dazai. However, the words "logically", the fact the position is left open for Dazai, and how Beast manga implied Mori wanted to 'save' for Dazai, could also suggest Mori saw Dazai was getting worse the longer he stayed in the PM and wanted to kick him out for his own good?? Debatable.)

Interlude: Sometime after Dark Era, Tachihara joined as a spy for the Hunting Dog to replace Ango's position as the designated government spy, and Higuchi joined as well (reason unknown). Sometime after that, Chuuya (age?) was promoted to executive position, as Akutagawa and Higuchi were seen already working together when he received his gift from Mori for the promotion. At some point before present, Verlaine (age?) was also promoted to executive.

Present: Yay, we finally reached present timeline! Taking the final count of members before the Decay of Angels arc, by rank:

The PM boss: Mori Ougai (40). Role: everything

The Five Executives:

Dazai Osamu (22) (defected). Known roles: former Mori's right-hand man, former leader of Guerrilla Corps (The Heartless Cur short story), in charge of mafia's merger and acquisition of new businesses (Stormbringer LN)

Kouyou Ozaki (26). Known roles: Managing mafia's business ties and front organisations (Fifteen LN), in charge of the mafia's interrogation units (Ch. 19), combat when the situation calls for it (Stormbringer LN, Cannibalism arc)

Nakahara Chuuya (22). Known roles: Mori's current right-hand man(?)/next-in-command (Cannibalism arc), combat when the situation calls for it (suppressing uprisings in the west - Ch. 11, Soukoku - Ch. 31, Dead Apple, Cannibalism arc), formerly in charge of the mafia's jewellery trade (under Kouyou - Stormbringer LN)

Paul Verlaine. Known roles: ?? (side job: basement dweller assassin trainer)

Ace (deceased). Known roles: managing the mafia's casinos and finance

The Guerrilla Corps: previously led by Dazai, currently led by Akutagawa (20). Higuchi is a member and acts as Akutagawa's right-hand man. Follows orders directly from the boss.

The Combat Unit (Black Lizards): Led by Hirotsu (50) ('Commander of Hundred') with subunits led by Tachihara (19) and Gin ('Commander of Ten'). Acts as the offensive arm of the PM, follows orders from the Guerrilla Corps members and boss & executives.

Unknown rank: Kajii (28), Q/Yumeno Kyuusaku (13)

Other known roles/units:

Mafia's personal informant: previously held by Ango. Liaise with/spy on other crime syndicates. Answer directly to the boss, unaffiliated with the executives.

Accounting firm: in charge of money laundering, bookkeeping and the PM's banks. A senior accountant may be very well-respected among high-ranking members.

"The accountant you killed at the bank - he was a senior in the profession who had devoted himself to our organization for many years. He was highly trusted among the executives. The boss will probably attend his funeral as well. I, too, was personally acquainted with the man." (Akutagawa, 55 minutes LN)

Medical team: former member, Doc. "Extraordinarily valued and favoured" unit in the PM, due to Mori's past.

Public Relations Officer: previously held by Lippmann. In charge of negotiating with front companies, government officials, and the media.

Vehicle support: previously held by Albatross. Supplies and manages transport for all PM members.

(now it's time to keep up with manga updates and hope they're not all dead by vampirism 💀)
