#wtf is even happening in bsd right now

[lotus-pear]

hi so I've stopped reading the bsd manga at chap 113 and opened Tumblr to see people being paranoid and stuff

wth happened 😃

asagiri happened.

[neonganymede]

I love that they didn't even build up to Chuuya's reveal. They had to put him in the trailer somehow, so they gave us his legs and his blurry silhouette and said, "happy pride month."

[that-one-xachster]

JJK but Dazai's the new teacher Hcs (ADA)

I'm a sucker for crossovers so- also dazai shenanigans trigger warning y'all bsd fans yk

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

how did this even happen bro

oookayyyyyy lets say yaga and fukuzawa were besties <3

GOSSIP BESTIES

and once fukuzawa was complaining about his subordinates bc cmon give the 45 year old baby a break

and yaga was like

"I will grant you peace my child"

"you're younger than me"

"idgaf"

"anyway can I steal one of your subordinates for a bit :)"

"SJKDFHADKSJ YES PLEASE"

and thats how ma man dazai got roped into this

so fukuzawa was like

*deeeeeeep breathhhhhhhh*

"dazai I'm disowning you."

/J /J LMFAOOOOO

he was just like dazai get your ass to jujutsu tech you're gonna be a new teacher there

"but I don't have a teaching license"

"you've committed over 500 crimes what can illegal teaching do"

"true"

so whoopee dazai's now in jujutsu tech

hes still in his detective clothes though

but if ya want him in jjt uniform then sure

the way shoko visibly deflates when she realizes she's getting a gojo 2.0

megumi joins her

nobara doesn't care she just hopes he's a good teacher and not utter shit

I feel like maki and Inumaki would join her on this

Yuta would be the ball of sunshine he is like 😇

panda's being panda

AND NOW YUJI'S EXCITED AF BC ANOTHER GOJO-SENSEI? LETS FREAKING GO

okay dazai makes it there

no gifts sadly he was rich in the mafia but not anymore he's broke

and kunikida aint here for a wallet stealing mission

he soon found a kunikida 2.0 though (na-na-na-na-na-na-min)

so obvi everyone wants to know what his cursed technique is

...yeah thats the problem he don't have one but this is dazai so he goes

"oh I can just obliterate a curse by touching it lmao"

and then yuji's like "HOLY QUACK THATS SO OP"

and I'm gonna make dazai a leeeetle op here

so gojo's like "ah? let's have a spar?"

and dazais like 😳🫢🤭

so yes these two start sparring

so how this shit works is that if cursed energy touches dazai it just boom no more cursed energy and you die

and infinity's made of it right

right

so my bro just activates his infinity and doesn't move and dazai just kalmly walks up to him

and just throws his hair a lil back-

yeah my guy show off that big ass forehead

and he steals gojo's boop that makes you unconscious (how could you dazai)

and gojo was like 'WAIT WTF'

and stumbles back kinda concerned

okay change of plans

let's try something a lil dangerous

he pulls out a very minuscule

when I mean very I mean microscopic level of blue

just for shits and giggles

no not really he wants to see how this goes

and dazai's unaffected

like full unaffected

and gojo's even more confused, concerned, and slightly alarm

okay let's take it up a notch

dazai's smiling like the person he is

(Im not saying cause tw but yk)

"woah were you tryna off me? sorry but I'm looking for a beautiful woman to join me in my journey to the afterlife-"

gojo's even more concerned

"..dude you okay?"

"why not"

"what"

kay so we're taking this up a notch back to that

and dazai lets out a visible sized blue and megumi's just questioning how stupid his teacher is like gojo why do you want to kill the new teacher?? no way can he survive th-

it goes poof

gone

obliterated

nonexistant

megumi's like ...huh

everyone's concerned for life

and dazais just like "heh"

:D

okay you have the advantage here what about in physical combat-

boom all attacks dodged

all

gojo's impressed needless to say

now after this comes the actual torture

yuji's fawning over dazai and ofc dazai's tryna like

gaslight gatekeep girlboss 😜‼️

"hey did you know that if you move your arms like this all the time your bones will eventually melt-"

"wha- actually?"

"yes"

"he's messing with you"

shoko says that last part

and yk whats coming

shoko = beautiful lady

beautiful lady = wybwtjmiads

"ah belladonna will you be willing to join me in a double suicide-"

"uh no thank you"

*CRIES*

gojo's at the side though

bombastic side eye

creemeenal offensive

side.

eye.

sigh thats all for now imma make more hcs later

drop ideas please I'm begging you

I'M BEGGIN BEGGIN YOUUUU SO PUT YOUR LOVIN HAND OUT BABYYYYYY-

so..

yea..

OH RIGHT, THE OLD MAN YAOI HERE WAS HELLA JUICY.

that's all.

[fairy-writes]

SO this is a day late; whoops, I meant to post this on New Years' Eve

I did this last year and wanted to do it again! So here’s a list that no one asked for of the top 10 anime series I watched this year, including two honorable mentions. They are ranked from (in my opinion) best to worst!

Animes I Watched This Year: 

Arcane: League of Legends

IDK if this counts as an anime, but I love it so much that I’m including it anyway. 

Literally my favorite animated show of all time. 

It beats out Moriarty the Patriot, Demon Slayer, all of the animes. 

People who have been following me since my Arcane obsession began know of my love for Viktor.

He’s my favorite and deserves the world. 

But the show is stunning; every shot is amazing, the music is astounding, and everything about it is breathtaking!

Jujutsu Kaisen 0

Ok, I saw this in theaters, and I wanted to cry because it’s so beautiful. 

I already owned the manga and had read it, and the fact that I love the movie more than the manga is something to consider.

There was never a boring moment in the movie, all the characters were memorable (with the exception of very few), and I absolutely adore Yuta.

Like, I already loved Geto because of that flashback arc we had in the manga, but Yuta beat him, he beat Gojo, and he beat everyone in the entire anime as my favorite except for maybe Inumaki.

This was truly Yuta’s movie, and I can’t wait for season 2!

Demon Slayer Season 2

THIS SHOW BLEW MY EXPECTATIONS OUT OF THE WATER

The CGI used was absolutely amazing. THIS IS HOW CGI SHOULD BE USED PEOPLE TAKE NOTES

Uzui is actually my favorite Hashira, save for Iguro (my least favorite is Rengoku, don’t come for me) so seeing a season dedicated to him was great.

I own all the manga, and this was one of my favorite arcs, so seeing it animated was like a birthday present. 

Bungou Stray Dogs: WAN!

THIS SHOW IS SO CUTE, BUT ALSO MADE ME CRY WTF

Like episode 10? Had me pretty much bawling my eyes out

I also watched it in dub which was also a treat. I really like the BSD dub, and this was no exception.

Someone, please talk about it with me.

Like I can’t.

I need someone to cry with.

Spy x Family

Normally slice-of-life shows aren’t my thing. 

But this one is the exception! 

This show is so fun, so colorful, and so just utterly amazing that I can’t help but want to rewatch it a bunch!

I don’t have any complaints about it. It’s just at number 5 cause I love the other shows more. 

Chainsaw Man

So I’m collecting the manga right now. 

I already read it online and remember pretty much none of it. 

This is what I get for reading it during finals week lmao

But the show is so cool!

It helps refresh my memory of what happens and every moment (save for the first kiss) is animated so beautifully!

They use CGI really well, with very few moments looking awkward or just out of pace. 

This is only down at the halfway mark because it hasn’t gotten to my favorite part of the manga yet, so I can’t accurately judge how much I’ll love my favorite parts.

The Case Study of Vanitas Season 2

THIS IS SUCH A PRETTY SHOW

The only reason it’s down this far is because I didn’t actually finish season 2. 

I didn’t even see the final fight between everyone and the Beast of Gevaudan, or however you spell it

So I really can’t judge this show until I finish the entire thing, haha

Blue Exorcist

I’M ONLY ON EPISODE THREE AND HAVEN’T SEEN IT SINCE 2014 DON’T COME FOR ME

I’m watching it in English Dub, and I think this is the only role that I actually like Bryce Papenbrook in. Anything else, and he just comes across as slightly annoying, but I really like him as Rin!

But this show is such a nostalgia trip. It’s great to rewatch, and the animation holds up really well!

Also, the opening is one of my favorites. I absolutely adore it. 

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

This one is so bizarre, but I still really enjoy it. 

Like the premise is so cool, and the animation is great!

It just fell kind of flat. 

They just needed more episodes to really explore everything they wanted to, but overall, 7/10 would recommend it to someone looking for a short but fun watch!

High Rise Invasion

I’m not even done with episode 1, but I already really enjoy the guy with the sniper rifle. I think he’s called Sniper Mask?

Anyway, the whole bit at the beginning of that one cop or whatever trying to make the main girl take off her clothes wasn’t the best. 

It is part of what brought it down to number ten.

The other part is just that I haven’t finished it. 

I’m noticing a trend with my watching habits, lol

Honorable Mentions

Sk8 the Infinity

Literally, the only thing beating this out of my top ten list is Adam. 

I actually had this idea of writing a story of a detective from America coming to Japan and arresting him because that was hilarious to me, and he didn’t deserve the ending he got. 

He deserved much worse, and no one can change my mind. 

Millionaire Detective: Balance Unlimited

Oh. My. Gosh. This show was SO BORING

I CANNOT

I WAS DYING

The first couple of episodes were really fun and jazzy and whatever, but by the end, I was doing literally everything I could just not to watch it. 

[courtesanofdeath]

Omg same!! I haven’t had time to read all the light novels and stuff, but I’ve been wanting to read beast for a while now.

Anyway, am I the only one who’s like, wtf is going on??!! There’s so much stuff happening it’s crazy! I was following along pretty well until bram stoker showed up. Then shit really hit the fan lmao. IS AKUTAGAWA EVEN ALIVE 😭😭😭 this really keeps me up at night....like he’s a vampire right now (and not even the sexy kind!) but if the vampire plague is lifted, will he be alive?????? Will dazai remain in prison forever?? When will he get to come out?? Where is sigma 😭😭😭😭 I want to see the precious casino cookie babie I miss him 🤧🤧 tbh I’m very curious about Gogol’s and sigma’s plan to kill Fyodor...I am dying to know what his ability is, that’s what got me into reading the manga in the first place after I finished the anime haha

And what about Kunikida??? If I remember correctly, he yeeted himself out of the helicopter and then we haven’t seen him since?? How will this arc end? I don’t need sleep, I need answers 😤😤

Nacht anon 😔

we literally share the same mind because i 100000% have these same exact thoughts !!!

it’s pretty wild right now from every aspect. bram really just woke up and just started a vampire apocalypse with fukuchi. i’m hoping that the ~ mysterious page ~ or yosano’s ability somehow fixes that big mess. i will cry forever if they really take aku and gin away from me omg.

i feel like dazai is gonna get tangled with whatever gogol and sigma tries to do with fyodor. maybe we’ll get to see fyodor’s ability when shit goes down then. but i know whatever they do will be crazy because like, who knows what goes on in gogol’s mind? and then there’s sigma ooh my god. he’s so very precious, i just want him to be happy! leave him and his casino alone !! i’m scared what’s gonna happen to him at the end 😭

we haven’t seen kunikida, yosano, kenji and tanizaki for a while now and i can only hope that they’re gonna have some grand entrance with good news. also chuuya omg where is he ??? what is he doing ???? and what’s up ranpo and fukuzawa ??? and mori ?????

there’s still so much that we don’t know and waiting for new chapters is just torture !! it’s hard to predict what happens next because bsd is always full of twists and turns, which is also why it’s so good! but also lots of pain lol

[chuuyas--wine-bottle]

Thoughts on how BSD can end

This thing has been bothering me a lot since I saw a m/e(m9e post for BSD ending with Dazai dying. 

Character wise it makes a lot of sense. Dazai WANTS to die. BSD CAN end with him dying. But that would be somewhat bitter for the audience however again, BSD is a universe where anyone can die anytime, you have no idea what is gonna happen next. 

Please do note that I am not doing it from a biased shipping perspective but from a neutral point of view. 

1. This is where a dilemma comes in, that if it happens wouldn’t Odasaku dying would be somewhat useless and irrelevant that all the things he did was just to show Dazai the light that he wanted to see? If you remember the ending theme song for S2, Kaze Ga Fuku Machi, the pre chorus goes as “The words you gave me are stored deep with in my heart so the next time I meet you I can stand proudly before you.” Now if you break these parts, the words Odasaku gave Dazai was save the ones who needs help, live in the light, be a good man. These are the words that Dazai lives by today (although considering his moral its quite questionable) meaning those words of Odasaku are still in his heart. Now the question is, when will he meet Odasaku? Like as in visiting the grave like the official art for the dvd where he was standing in a grave yard with Chuuya facing his back? or is it him actually dying while fighting for the light and then meeting Odasaku? (does he even believe in heaven and hell? Wtf?) 

2. Now plot wise this is possible too. But then similar thing happened in BEAST, where he had to die for the book. The question is, does the same book thing happens in cannon time line? Maybe I am missing on things but in s2 Fitz was after the book, then Fyodor and Dazai already (assuming) knows about the book. As well as Natsume sensei knows about the said book (but then Natsume sensei is really not actively in there however he still knows about the book.). So that means more than 3 people already knows about the book and nothing has happened to Yokohama yet. (or maybe is going to happen in this Fyodor arc). Lets say if a similar thing as BEAST is about to happen in cannon timeline, the 4th person knowing about the book would mean someone has to be eliminated to save Yokohama. It can be Dazai or someone else. 

3. The next point is what is this book everyone is after? is it the book that Natsume sensei gave to Odasaku and wanted Odasaku to write the 4th vol of it? is it Kunikida’s Doppo Poetry? Since it can make anything happen? But then a lot of the characters in BSD already knows about Doppo Poetry and they didn’t mention anything about in s2. So it can be Natsume sensei’s book because they haven’t showed that much about him yet. Or another totally different book. 

4. I happen to stumble on a theory few days ago where they talked about No Longer Human being able to access memories from other alternative universes, meaning he knows what happens in BEAST, that Odasaku lives on and he dies. And perhaps this is why he can still live on the cannon timeline knowing that Odasaku is still alive somewhere in another timeline. Thus the ending would be just him living and PM and ADA working together to protect Yokohama. 

4. Another theory I read while ago was the entire BSD is Dazai’s memories and he is actually dead right now since as we can see on the opening for s1 is him falling (most probably) from the Port Mafia towers (somewhat similar mental images as BEAST when he commits suicide). However, anime wise it makes a lot of sense since the anime had that visual already but the manga did not had the same visual so that would make a bit less sense for the manga timeline. Unless the anime and the manga have a different ending, where in anime it ends with showing that he is dead but in manga he revives or smth like that (tho idk if thats possible in BSD universe, maybe a new ability user will be introduced but thats not even possible because of his nullification ability. Maybe someone like Love craft then?) 

5. What bothers me extremely is Cannon having almost the same ending as BEAST. But in BEAST he died because Odasaku lived on, in Cannon, Odasaku died and thats why he got to live. If a similar thing as BEAST happens, again as mentioned in possibility 1, it would be pretty messy on the part as in what Odasaku has done for him to be a good man. But still can be possible. 

6. Another way to end BSD would be killing someone close to Dazai as warning to Dazais future death. If thats the case then it would either, Shin Soukoku or Chuuya. Although the series actually revolves around Shin Soukoku, so they have a lower chance of dying and Chuuya is extremely popular and a minor character related (deeply) to Dazai but it’s possible he can die from Corruption. Or if they use the Odasaku route then Dazai dying in cannon is quite predictable. 

7. An ironic ending of Dazai dying while the series started with Atsushi Saving Dazai. (thank you @no-longer-tainted to open my eyes on this one!!). Its almost like a chain or Dominos effect where one dies and the other lives on through his wishes. (The father, the son and the holy spirit kind of) Odasaku’s wish to saving and helping people,. he dies and Dazai lives with his wish. Dazai dying and Atsushi living through his wishes of protecting the city (and making Shin Soukoku work properly) 

8. Asagiri has a reputation of surprising us a lot so it could be something totally different. Since we are somewhat expecting Dazai to die maybe Asagiri will make him live? or to really surprise the heck outta us would be just ACTUALLY killing him and then ending it with Shin Soukoku taking over. 

Now its just probably safe to be prepared for someone to die at the end of BSD. Be it Dazai or anyone else. But if he dies well gonna fucking stab the fuck outta myself i guess?

ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS

I’m equipped with a selective attention span and a moderate understanding of Japanese, TIME TO LAY OUT MY THOUGHTS ABOUT CHAPTER 49

Obviously: spoiler alert, I won’t try being vague either. Screenshots included, along with some minor translations that are more paraphrasing than actual translations. 

SO FROM THE TOP

YOSANO LEADS THE CAVALRY AND THEY LOOK DAMN GOOD DOING IT!! VERY HOPEFUL SHOT. THEY’RE KICKING SO MUCH ASS. Which is understandable tbh like in terms of making use of abilities? They’re is Illusion Support, Healing Support and a Tank, this is about as Dream Team as it gets. Also YOSANO so A++

(Anyone realise that Harukawa’s art in this chapter is fucking heavenly? They really did the Most this time. I love them so much it’s killing me.)

Next up THESE ARE LIKE. SOME OF THE HOTTEST PANELS I’VE EVER SEEN FROM BSD I SHIT YOU NOT I THREW MY PANTIES AT THE SCREEN. RANPO IS TURNING IT THE FUCK UP, NO ITEMS, FOX ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION. AND CHUUYA. CHUUYA, MY SWEETHEART, WARINESS IS SUCH A GOOD LOOK ON YOU. THANK YOU BASED HARUKAWA.

If anyone wants to know: Ranpo here is referring to Chuuya as ‘Beautiful Hat-kun’! I’m not sure if this has happened beforehand, but IT SURE IS NOW AND I SURE AM... CONSIDERING IT. BOY. I FORGOT RANPO IS OLDER THAN CHUUYA UNTIL HE USED ‘KUN’ LMAO I LOST IT.

The convo’s gist is: Chuuya: I’m not gonna fight an ADA member with no ability Ranpo: Oh? But you’ve lost to Dazai, yes? Chuuya: 

Then KATAI’S PLACE. THIS WHOLE PART. I CAN’T ACTUALLY BEAR TO POST THE WHOLE THING SO HERE’S THE GIST OF ME:

1) KUNIKIDA FUCKING BAREKNUCKLE PUNCHED A HOLE THRU A CEMENT WALL BOI WHAT THE F U C K

2) Atsushis face extended my lifespan (the rest of the manga tho brought it back down to 0)

3) Fun fact this panel was the first spoiler I saw before reading the chapter. I thought to myself, ‘ah, Kunikida went with Atsushi! Splendid! That means we’ll get to see KNKD talk to his husband Katai!’

4) I’m so sorry. I jinxed it. I cursed it. I’ve failed all of you. THATS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO JUST WATCHED HIS FRIEND OF 10 YEARS GET SHOT BY A FUCKING DEMON. STONE COLD. IM DEAD INSIDE BITCH. DEAD!!!!!

AND THEN THE LEGENDARY PANEL

HE SAYS ‘FINALLY (AFTER A WHILE), AN OPPONENT WITH BACKBONE’ (I THINK?? HE USES A JAPANESE EXPRESSION THAT IMNOT FAMILIAR WITH) LIKE BRUH

Personally this part wasn’t all that interesting to me until the later half of it but I’LL GET TO THAT

Skipping over the RanChuu part bc idk what to say fam, they’re trapped in a murder mystery now and Ranpo literally said “Let’s try not to die together” im Tired That They’re Targeting Me Like This

Tbqh i feel that if my senpai grabbed my fucking knife and snapped it in hald with his bare hands i’d be fucking terrified but KYOUKA... SHE’S BEING BRAVE AND ALL. LOOK AT HER EYES. THEY’RE A FOCAL POINT THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW PAGES

I’M TOO LAZY TO ACTUALLY PUT PAGE BY PAGE HERE SO HAVE THE DIALOGUE INSTEAD

Aktgw: Isn’t it odd, Kyouka. Your eyes. They are very different from when I first met you. =FLASHBACK, 6 MONTHS AGO TF= Kyouka: Are you the one with the Ability that can cut through anything? Aktgw: If so? What of it? Kyouka: Snow Demon killed my parents. I want revenge. So please kill me, the owner of this demon. =FLASHBACK END= Aktgw: From your eyes, it was obvious. You hated life. From the time you jumped off the train, until the ship, and the whale, you did not see meaning in living. Kyouka: What would you know about that? Aktgw: I do know. Because there was (I knew?) a child with those same eyes, void of life’s purpose. Kyouka: What happened to that boy? Aktgw: The same thing that happened to you. Through meeting certain people, and through meeting certain groups, they were able to lose those eyes. AKUTAGAWA’S FLASHBACK ATSUSHI (!!!!): I SAW WORTH IN KYOUKA, EVEN THOUGH I’M WORTHLESS MYSELF...!! (MY FAV PART, WAIT FOR IT) Aktgw: ...Kyouka. Aktgw:  よかった な (Yokatta na) (YOKATTA NA) (ITS HARD TO TRANSLATE BUT THE SENTIMENT IS ‘IT’S GREAT’ (THAT YOU FOUND THE ADA’))

AND HE SAYS THIS WITH ENOUGH SINCERETY THAT KYOUKA LITERALLY OLLIES RIGHT THE FUCK OUT!! SHE LOOKS SO WORRIED TOO LIKE FML... I’M WORRIED TOO BITCH AKUTAGAWA LITERALLY SHOWED A FUCKING EMOTION!!! AND ATSUSHI IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT OUT THAT EMOTION IN HIM!!! WHAT!! THE!! FUCK!!!!

MY SHIN SOUKOKU HEART BITCH I CRIED. SO MUCH. FUCK. AKUTAGAWA SHOWING KYOUKA AN EMOTION FUCKING RUINED ME!!!

Ah the rest of it is lemon man rambling and the cavalry RETREATING I didn’t bother translating it bc im not interested in him, basically FUCK!! THIS CHAPTER WAS WILD AF

Write a meta about Kunikida :)

Dang there’s so much to write about. So I’ll just talk about what I had come to notice one day—

So heres my theory on Kunikida’s notebook and his incessant need to fulfill a schedule he laid out for himself. 

A lot of people question this aspect a lot and maybe some people have already arrived to the conclusion that I have, but I have yet to see anything of the sort take off because Kunikida is an under appreciated character!! I think most people wrote it off as something he does for his ideals, and, often times, ideals are rather illogical and questionable.

Eons ago, I found a real nifty site here that had some very interesting things about the actual Kunikida Doppo.

There was a long essay I was reading through on that site, but of course, I need to start a trial the read the rest so I only read up to right before the good part! I was so mad, I wanted to hear what he had to say about the actual Kunikida’s failed first marriage… And the rest of his short life, I mean. Dude, I was in it to see how bad he got dragged by his first wife, ok?

ANYWAYS—

You can claim that his notebook serves as a visual reminder of his ability, “Doppo Ginkaku.” The book itself was essentially a compilation of Kunikida-sensei’s works after all. 

In fact, BSD!Kunikida’s ability to conjure up anything smaller than his notebook is a nod to Kunikida-sensei’s movement in Naturalism. In some very small phrases I have seen translated of his works, his descriptions of nature is insanely detailed and paints a very clear image in mind. It can be said that the descriptions are so detailed that you can actually visit a place you have never been to before and that’s impressive in a literary sense.

However, what really got me thinking was the fact that Kunikida’s notebook served more than just an accessory for his ability.

He wrote anything and everything in it from to-do lists to his ideals on to that notebook so I wondered about why he does that. I already knew that it was to reference something of the actual Kunikida’s works, but I had trouble trying to figure out why.

I’m not entirely sure about the purpose of his ideals, but Kunikida-sensei did feel that his movement is misunderstood and no one understands his ideology ( and thus he became good friends with Katai, who felt the same way nopeidontplaybungoutoalchemist ).

I’m somewhat certain his ideals to not want others to die in front of him came from the time the actual Kunikida went on to be a war reporter. It certainly made him rather depressed and numb to the world around him.

But his schedules— Why was he so adamant on pursuing it all the way down to a T?

The actual Kunikida didn’t seem like someone who was THAT organized from what I can gather so why?

It was because of the Late Kunikida’s book, Azamaukazaru no ki ( can be translated as: “Records of an Honest Man” / yes the thing I was referencing ). That book was essentially his diary from some point of his life onwards till the day he dies. If I can math properly, he was probably around 18, more or less, when he got a diary to write on, where I base my theory that BSD!Kunikida didn’t notice his abilities until maybe around high school and why it is specifically confined to THAT notebook and can’t use his abilities on any other paper medium.

What really set this off was when I went on to read whatever has been translated of light novel one, which was essentially EP6-7 of the anime but modified to actually reflect the recent plot, on Dazai’s Entrance Exam.

Since Kunikida was around 20 at the time he ever met Dazai, the year of when he will meet his ideal partner was changed to 6 as compared to 4 in the anime. It then hit me that it was around the same time Kunikida-sensei married his second wife.

I thought about that some more, he actually talked more of his plans in the light novel than in the anime, such as what he did during the day, who he met, and what he did when he met those people.

What was the point of that?

Then it came to me that I read about Azamaukazaru no ki being the actual Kunikida’s diary.

Then the fact he wants to pursue his schedules down to the fine point is because IT HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN DOWN. Those are things that has already happened.

Other things pertaining his anger towards things not going his way may also be a nod to the financial troubles the actual Kunikida faced ( which impeded him from pursing his dream of being a writer ) and the opposition to his ideology ( specifically met with when he became a teacher with a rather unorthodox teaching method / the strict and stern teacher ).

However, now that it’s established that his ideals are to mimic Azamaukazaru no ki then perhaps Kunikida might’ve planned his life all the way up till he was around 30, but due to the fact the writer died rather young, the rest of it past that age might be unwritten.

Will that mean BSD!Kunikida will die then or will it mean that he will eventually fill up those empty pages?

Just thinking that his life was already laid out before him was something I would think about on occasion. It also made sense why he has a insane list of requirements for an ideal partner, because it’s already written. It’s there. Also explains why he fell head over heels for Nobuko, despite the whole ideal partner thing ( even Nobuko said, “WTF DUDE THIS IS CRAZY” )

My only concern is that if Kunikida is to run the ADA in the future, what if something went wrong?

The actual Kunikida tried to run a publishing firm but didn’t work out so it CLOSED, so will that happen to the ADA?

So many questions and none of us will know cause Asagiri Kafka is an allusive guy when it comes to writing. But we do know that he isn’t afraid to kill off characters when needed, so we can only ask—

What will happen to Kunikida now?

Thank you for making it this far and I hope this enlightened you all in some way.

After taking that into account, Kunikida’s actions aren’t actually something unreasonable or made up as much as we are lead to believe. There’s still a lot of questions to consider but I noticed one of the biggest mysteries to Kunikida’s schedules was because of Azamaukazaru no ki. So it probably isn’t much but I figured something out on my own which was the point of the post!

If you have any other questions involving my thoughts about Kunikida, feel free to drop an ask! I don’t want to make this too long cause it’ll be REALLY long if I talked about everything else such as Kunikida’s struggle between reality and ideality.

Granted those aspects won’t be as directly informative as this one because it’ll probably be me trying to work my thoughts out and thus will sound repetitive.

This is just how I think about it so you are welcome to have your own opinions and thoughts! There’s certainly things I don’t know either and thus if you ask me to clarify, I might not know how to organize my own thoughts lmao
