#they work cohesively on the battlefield because that isn't the place for their usual antics

[chuuya-fan-page]

I saw this one post and it was like, dazai and chuuya only understand each other on the battle field (that wasn’t the main topic of the post, just something that Was there. The topic was if dazai considers anyone else a friend like he did oda)

And well, I just. Disagree? What are your guys thoughts on that? (ALSO… I MIGJT BE GETTING STORM BRINHER WITJIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO!!! IF IM LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!! AUGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!)

I 100% disagree with that take. Their relationship is so much more than how they fight together, that's the point of Soukoku, that they make each other better.

Chuuya was the only character in Fifteen to acknowledge Dazai as a child first and a threat second. Dazai was potentially the first person to give Chuuya a direct choice in 8 years. Their conflict comes from the fact that they do understand each other, they just disagree with the other's methods.

Of course, their relationship was partly forged on the battlefield, as was Zenki Soukoku's and as is Shin Soukoku's, because this is a world at war, but that doesn't mean that's where their relationship starts and ends, there's so much in BSD that contradicts that.
