JUST READ THE NEW BSD CHAPTER???? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON

[dazais-guardian-angel]

SO WHERE THE FUCK IS SEASON 5 ENDING???????????

Chapter 110 is 13 pages long welcome to hell!!! so in a lot of ways this is just more fuel for a theory that I've had for a few weeks now, that's only gotten stronger with each recent season 5 episode, which is that the last episode of the season is gonna end on 110, and that Asagiri/Harukawa and Bones have been collaborating to make this happen, specifically because it's a major turning point that would be the only good place to end the season on.

When we started getting especially long chapters again (like from 25-35ish pages, with the exception of 107.5, the last two being some of the longest we've ever had), at first I just assumed that Asagiri/Harukawa got freed up from some other obligations they'd been having to cause the extremely short/half chapters, like promotional stuff for the anime/Beast movie, or working on light novels. But then 109 happened, with the "supposed" death of Dazai, and heavy emphasis at the end on how literally everyone is at their lowest point right now, and I got to thinking. 11 episodes is a strangely specific number for an anime season -- why not 12, or 13, or even 10, like you'd usually see? Why have we gotten suddenly gotten two 35 page chapters out of nowhere, that's almost unheard of at this point? They're both beautiful chapters, don't get me wrong (as always), and maybe A/H simply just didn't want to cut them in halves because they felt like the full emotional impact wouldn't hit/that there were no good cutoff points in them, but you can't deny that it's surprising, after all the shorter chapters we've been getting. Why has the anime been going at such insanely breakneck pacing for the most part ever since around the Sunday Tragedy chapters, even more so than it has in the past? So much so that it feels dangerously close to overtaking the manga?

Well, maybe, just maybe, it's because..... Asagiri decided a long time ago that whatever happens in 110 is the only point that feels "season finale"-worthy enough, in an arc that still isn't anywhere close to being completely wrapped up, and so both the manga and the anime have been specifically coordinated to reach that part within 2 and a half weeks of each other?

I've seen a lot of people now think season 5 will end with 109, and as much as my sadistic side would find that hilarious, I honestly don't think they'd do that and realistically don't want it to happen; it'd be so cruel to cliffhanger the anime for years like that, and just doesn't feel like a season cliffhanger BSD would do, a series that is ultimately hopeful and uplifting. Seasons 2 and 3 had a positive, conclusive ending; the only reasons seasons 1 and 4 didn't was because they're technically not really full seasons of their own, and are more like the first cour of another "season" that also came out that same year (seasons 1 and 2 both aired in 2016, so they're more like one big season, and seasons 4 and 5 have both aired this year, so they're also more like one big season, again taking into account how episodes 12 and 50 are not satisfying finales like episodes 24, 37, and hypothetically, 61, are). I really can't see season 5 ending with Dazai and Fukuzawa's supposed deaths, Sigma being unconscious and maybe close to death, Atsushi being vulnerable and limbless again, everyone we love still vampires, and the entire world being basically doomed; that's just too depressing and not like BSD at all. However, having said that, if it doesn't end there, there really isn't any good place to end the season before that, either, that feels in any way satisfying or like a finale at all. And so, to me, that only leaves after 109: chapter 110.

I think things are really gonna turn around next chapter. Like I said, everyone is at their lowest point right now, it cannot possibly get any worse, the framing of Dazai, Fukuzawa, and sskk at the end of 109 is telling us that; this is the time for the heroes to finally start winning again, with Aya being so close to pulling out the sword, and for all the thematic reasons other people have talked about to death that I don't need to go into here again. This upcoming chapter being so short again makes a part of me wary of 110 being "the one", so to speak, I won't lie, but at the same time, it's very possible that it needs to be that short because that's all the final episode of the season will be able to reasonably fit in, since it's already gonna be VERY close if they do make it all the way to 109. And at the end of the day, I don't doubt at all that Asagiri and Harukawa can make these the most monumental and game-changing mere 13 pages ever if they wanted to; a chapter does not at all need to be extremely long in order to be an important and impactful one, even if short ones we've gotten in the past haven't felt the most important.

An additional thought I've had, though this is much more crack territory than all this already is, is that since we know from Anime Expo that a Stormbringer movie at some point is highly likely (judging from Asagiri's reaction when someone brought it up), it's possible that chapter 110 and thus the final episode will involve the long-anticipated return of Verlaine and/or Adam, or at least some other major reference to Stormbringer, that would naturally and smoothly lead into a Stormbringer movie to explain things to people who haven't read the novel. It would make a lot of sense, especially since the s4 OP has the Old World sign behind Chuuya, which might be a hint that this has been in the works ever since seasons 4/5 were first in planning with Asagiri. We also know that Dazai and Chuuya's voice actors apparently struggled to record their lines together this season, which probably relates to 101 and possibly 109, but it could be 110 too.... I could be very wrong, as I'm no expert on this kind of thing, but I kinda doubt they would bring Chuuya's actor in for just the vampire growls, and Asagiri placing heavy emphasis on Chuuya's importance this season in that one interview gives me the impression that he's talking about much more than just 101/109. But that's the least solid evidence I have, that's just mostly based on vibes I get.

So basically, I think a lot of factors -- the unusual episode count, how close the anime is to catching up to the manga with three whole episodes left, the seemingly arbitrary recent chapter lengths, and the climactic events of 109 -- can tell us that 110 might be a very, VERY big deal. Again, there's of course no way this arc is anywhere near close to being finished, with so much left to address and resolve, but since it is currently incomplete in the manga, unlike the previously adapted arcs, if the anime was going to adapt it at all, they'd have to find a place that feels satisfying enough to end this season, knowing there won't be more anime for a long time after this, and so I think they specifically planned for that, from both Bones' and A/H's sides. 10 episodes might not have been enough to reach that point, but 12 or 13 might have been too many it wouldn't have been if Bones actually decided to slow down and let the story breathe the way it needs to, but this post isn't meant to criticize the anime, so maybe 11 was just right. And maybe Asagiri and Harukawa specifically pushed to make recent chapters longer than usual, in order to make sure that the manga reached the story content in 110 the monthly release right before season 5 was to end.

Is this just copium? Absolutely. Am I going to look like an absolute clown in two days when this post ages like milk? Probably. But the evidence is There, so let me just enjoy my delusions until Sunday, okay 🥂🫡

[sabh0]

I need to rant with someone about how this fandom thinks Chuuya's stupid, or gullible, and how Dazai uses him all the time without him even realizing, which hurts Chuuya's feelings like...

What the fuck did y'all read, where did that dynamic even comes from?? Why do you want to make Chuuya look pathetic????

They are PARTNERS. If Dazai only considered him a puppet, they would NOT work so well together, nor have the dynamic they do, they balance each other out while understanding each other completely, PLEASE.

Yes, Chuuya follows Dazai's plans most of the time, because they WORK. When Dazai doesn't give him the entire thing, it's because he trusts Chuuya to understand his intentions anyway, because they know each so well, I am going to SCREAM.

SO TRUE!!! EVERY TIME I SEE PPL CALL CHUUYA STUPID OR SMTH I GO BONKERS,, Asagiri himself said that Chuuya is Dazai level genius,,

And the fact he goes along with Dazai's plans is literally the fact he trusts him?? He literally said it out loud a few times. No idea where ppl r getting that whole thing about him being some pathetic little guy who can't think for himself,, if he didn't want to do something then he wouldn't and that's it 😭😭

The same goes for ppl who make Dazai look like he can't handle himself in a fight or smth,, ghey literally push the dynamic of 'brains and brawn' onto skk like aughh!! Obviously Chuuya is a much better fighter, but Dazai is not a twig that won't be able to lift a finger in a fight??? He does perfectly fine against Atsushi's tiger, running and jumping around,,, or in the Dazai's Entrance Exam novel where he was fighting that big buff guy - obviously he's not a martial artist so it would be quite hard to fight someone twice as big as you, but he still managed to hit him a few times with some tricks,,, also he's pretty athletic considering the way he escaped in the Dragon's Head Conflict (uhh sab u just started yapping sbout a completely different topic))

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..

SFW

At first, you could NOT, for the life of you, tell if he was being genuine or just fucking with you

He's always so sly and teasing so it's really hard to tell if he actually liked you

Unless you're an enemy, he wouldn't find a point in fake dating you or taking advantage of you, that you quickly realized.

Unlike Senku, this man is very affectionate and loving.

His love languages are probably physical touch and words of affirmation

He's really clingy, always touching you in some sort of way, whether he's wrapping an arm around your shoulder or holding your hand

He probably enjoys light pecks more than hugs or deep kisses, mainly because he cannot maintain a serious expression whatsoever

But he does hug you a lot, especially in private, where he can be more affectionate

Another way of him showing his love is by teasing the absolute shit out of you 🥰

And it's not like hot teasing, either, it's plain ass annoying

It's not hard for him to say "i love you" unlike it is with Senku, and he actually says it a lot

He doesn't really get too jealous, but he does get pouty..? He's faking it more often than not just to make you shower him with love

He gets so smug when he knows you're jealous 😑

Sometimes, just sometimes, he'll be really genuine and caress your face with a gentle smile and say something cheesy (but it works the job of getting you flustered

Talking about getting flustered, he tries his absolute best to do that

Either through dirty ass jokes or straight-up showers you with compliments

Shows you a lot of magic tricks that used to impress you, but then you got so used to them so you just deadpan at his face while he's waiting for a reaction

You two spend a lot of time together, always slaving away at Senku's orders

So you have time to learn more about him, and he uses the time to figure out what embarrasses you the most

He's not really the type of guy who dates someone seriously or because he has serious feelings for them, but as time went on, he never showed disinterest at all or even hinted at being bored of you

He unfortunately does lie to you a lot, with the majority of them being for shits and giggles, but sometimes, you can feel a small line between you and the real Gen, not the mentalist, not the liar, but the real guy behind all of that

It'll take some time for him to show his true, raw side to you, but you'll get there eventually because he wouldn't keep going that far with you unless he truly loves you

NSFW

You kinda thought he was chill about the whole thing, since he's a bit older and he might've had prior experience

But he's surprisingly shy as hell

He doesn't really bring it up, mainly hints at it vaguely to see your reaction, and gets abnormally flustered whenever you do something remotely sexual by accident

Like if you bent over to pick something up in front of him, or pressed your chest against his while hugging

He has kind of a dirty mind and although he makes a ton of dirty jokes, if it were seriously a sexual scenario, he gets a bit nerve wrecked

Anyhow, it's easy to turn him on and fun as well

He has a higher libido than Senku, for sure

Sex is actually pretty important to him in a relationship, since it's so intimate

He won't say this to your face, but part of the reason is because people show different, more vulnerable sides of themselves in such intimate experiences, and that helps him figure you out

He'd rather have you more vulnerable to him than the opposite, but that's not meant in a bad way

He tries to focus on your pleasure more than on his, but uh... let's just say it doesn't always go according to his plans 😭

also- WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK??? HUH. EH. QUE. APA. SHENME. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PLANNING?? IM SO- LOST????

what a way to end the chap 😭

[aroacesigma]

ok why i think (kind of. asagiri always throws you for the loop so i cant at all be sure) that nikolai will (probably should be logically speaking) be the one who gets possessed not sigma like everyones expecting:

ok. so realistically speaking, it would probably have to be the one who got the blood on them most recently, right? otherwise, why would fyodor have posessed the guard in the room. he'd want to posess someone much further away, theoretically, and knowing fyodor he'd have 'planted' someone beforehand. so most likely, his ability is either reliant on the last person to touch his blood, OR it triggers on or after death. which rules out sigma and leaves chuuya, dazai and nikolai. or one of the helicopter pilots, but with a big reveal like that you'd think it would be someone more interesting, right? plus they're probably dead.

and nikolai was holding that mans hand TO HIS FACE. blood all over it. he's probably still holding it.

anyway, i also think it would also be a lot more interesting if it was nikolai. his whole thing is about freedom, that's what he wants. we know that's his goal as a character, he contantly states it. being posessed is kind of the whole fucking opposite, and it would be very interesting. obviously, dazai isnt going to get posessed if this is ability (and asagiri loves him too much), chuuya wouldnt make much sense, he doesnt have any ties to fyodor and he clocked out mentally the moment that helicopter exploded. if we go back to sigma, it would just be another continuation of the same thing, because sigma is always being used by people.

so yeah. does this make sense at all 😭

[quijabored]

[petty-pumpkin]

Might be controversial but I've got to say this.

So we all know that the soukoku fanbase has a toxic side right? Right.

It was very talked abt how a big part of skk shippers were toxic and blah blah blah. How you would say you liked a ship nd they would come at you, right?

Well, I just want to say that ppl who STILL say this are dumbasses, honestly.

First, to prove my point, I just wanna say that EVERY fanbase has a toxic side, there's no way to deny it, there's always that one mf that ruins the harmony in a fandom and has to be a pain in the balls.

Now, ik that a big part of the skk shippers WERE toxic af, more than the average of toxicness in a fandom, not going to deny it.

BUT THAT WAS BEFORE BRO. I remember that in 2020/2021 it was FULL of toxic skk shippers. You litterally could not like any other dazai or chuuya ship w/o being attacked for it by a cray cray skk shipper.

Because of that, the skk fanbase has a really bad fame, and it's known for being 1- very fucking passionate abt a fictional relationship, and 2- very fucking toxic about said fictional relationship.

In 2022, the toxicness was becoming less. Of course the toxic shippers were still in the shadows ready to attack, but they were less than b4. Now why were they less? Bc ppl actually fucking complained abt it and stopped acting like the skk fanbase was a normal one.

In early 2023, other dazai ships begun to have more popularity, and it stopped being only dazai and chuuya. This was also the era when ppl actually started to understand dazai's character a little better than before and stopped being blind ass mfs. Thanks to this, a LOT of skk toxic shippers disappeared or matured to realize that ppl have different fucking opinions.

Of course the fanbase still had quite a variety of toxic shippers inside of it, but they started to eradicate fast.

Now we're heading to the end of 2023 and I had not ONCE in 5 whole months seen a toxic skk shipper ever again. It's like they rlly disappeared. And I gotta say, that there's obviously still a lot of toxic shippers out there, ik that, but I'm still really proud bro.

Like, it's so nice how an entire fanbase maturated that much in such a short span of time, the mha fandom could never.

Anyways, having said this, I just want to sincerely say, WHY THE FUCK DO PPL STILL SAY "oh i hate skk bc of the shippers" LIKE WHAT.

Ok, first of all, it's totally fine if you dislike skk, everyone has their own opinions (weird opinion, yeah, but I still gotta respect it bc I'm a normal human being (not rlly)) but using that lame ass excuse that litterally every idiot uses when they dislike a popular ship?? Yeah no. Just say u don't like the ship and move on. We, as a society, (a group of shippers) have maturated enough to understand that not everyone has the same taste as us, WE WONT JUDGE YOU IF YOU DISLIKE A SILLY SHIP FROM A SILLY SHOW ABOUT DEAD GAY AUTHORS, EVEYONE HAS THEIR OWN PROBLEMS BRO, WE DO NOT CARE IF YOU DISLIKE IT OMG 😭

BESIDES, why the fuck do you hate a ship bc "oh no the shippers are kind of really intense when someone doesn't agree with them" like ???? Bro, how the fuck do the shippers affect the canon relationship between chuuya and dazai??? Do you see them making a pact with the devil so asagiri could make their ship canon???? That's litterally a monkey's train of thought.

Anyway, it litterally makes no sense if you dislike something bc of it's fans or creators. That's like saying "flashing lights" by kayne west is a bad song bc kayne is a son of a b1tch. Like, kayne is truly a dumbass, but the song is fire. BESIDES, IT'S NOT EVEN ASAGIRI HIMSELF IT'S LITTERALLY THE FANS, AND NOT EVEN THAT BC MOST OF THE TOXIC SHIPPERS ERADICATED FROM EARTH MONTHS AGO.

It used to make sense b4, but now it doesn't. Stop attacking skk shippers for litterally nothing when they stopped being THAT problematic a while ago.

Like rlly. It makes zero sense.

[starr-vivs44]

Chapter 114.5 Rambles

OKAY OKAY, WHAT WAS CHAPTER 114.5!?!?!?!

(spoilers below the cut)

Like omg, what a chapter that was.

We finally find out Dostoevsky's ability, and wow it's op as fuck.

ASAGIRI WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL OFF MY BABY BRAM LIKE THAT!?!? 😭 He was literally one of my favs and I was so glad that he was finally getting his time to shine and then he got killed off :((

Also apparently Fukuchi wasn't already dead? Like I get that you wanted him to just bleed out and be in pain but that kinda backfired on y'all...

Everything was going to shit so hard at the end, I guess that's what the 2 hours later bit of the S5 finale was hinting at...

In summary: We finally find out Fyodor's ability, its op as fuck and Bram gets killed off :( Fukuchi apparently hadn't died yet and everything goes to shit. Idk if I can wait till June, Asagiri watch out!!

(I was gonna add some Manga panels but I couldn't get any clear ones and my Tumblr was being annoying)

[gothambelfry]

2, 3, 25 for chuuya aaaaaaand, 12 for yuan!

CHUUYA

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

He’s sooo sweet. Like when he’s not in combat or near Dazai he’s so incredibly gentle and kind. Getting lunch with Kenji & the shaved ice for kyouka & how soft he gets talking to kouyou… he grew up so rough but is still so sweet.

He’s also just so funny. I love his funnies.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Asagiri made him too strong he can’t have fun >:(

jk. it’s that fucking DHC outfit so genuinely i can’t stand looking at it

(^ I love him so much i can’t pick anything real 😭)

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

*seeing the helicopter scene on the dash, having not met him when i first watch it years ago* hey who’s this guy. He seems awesome.!

Cut over a year later and i would kill for him and kill myself for him he’s the most important thing everrr and his story is beautiful and ohuahhh

————-

YUAN

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

- 1 year younger than chuuya & shirase

- she works for the Special Division for Unusual Powers! Both out of a slight distain for abilities but also it allows her to keep tabs on Chuuya (<- they’re besties again in my head)

- she still wears her hair up in a bun that looks like a rams horn & helps take care of Suribachi

- Shirase owes her money. She has not and will not forget this and intends on collecting.

- Major shopaholic. Makes Chuuya buy her fancy things.

- situationship with dazai when they were 19 & they have a deal that if either of them let it slip to anyone they just have to die gen srs it would be the end

- trans woman & bisexual

- MAJOR cat person. Has three of her own.

- met kouyou once and although she still has major beef with the mafia, does like kouyou & trusts her around chuuya

- would like to be a mom one day just in general but also to give a child the life she & the sheep never got
