Your gateway to endless inspiration
I'm sure someone's already done it, but I'd love to see a comic or something of Dazai quoting Genie's "Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty bitty living space" while referring to Chuuya.
Unfortunately, I possess no drawing ability. So, free idea for anyone.
Chapter 3 is up and available to read! Enjoy!
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Summary: During the cleanup of Chuuya and Verlaine’s fight, Dazai finds out there was another clone in Facility B and decides to retrieve it while Chuuya is recovering from his first time using Corruption.
Chuuya navigates being in the Port Mafia and taking care of his new little brother, and Dazai navigates the new dynamic in his an Chuuya’s partnership.
Not that Dazai cares ... right?
I think the only reason we don't see Dazai using a gun at the Armed Detective Agency is because they refuse to give his suicidal ass access to one. We know he had no qualms about using one, so that's the only reasonable reason I can think of as to why he wouldn't have one.
Random thought that crossed my brain about BSD. In Stormbringer, Dazai has Rimbaud's journal, and he read it. Given that it was a spy's journal, it's safe to assume it was encoded, but Dazai’s probably smart enough to break a code. However, Rimbaud would have written it to be decoded into French (becauseya know, he's French), not Japanese. So, Dazai either had to have someone else translate/decode it (unlikely), learned to read French fluently (a nightmare in and of itself because fuck how letters work apparently) before breaking the code, or he was already fluent in French at 16.
The second chapter of my BSD fanfic is up and I need some help. Chuuya’s clone needs a name, so if you got any ideas please feel free to comment here or on the fic. I will be eternally greatful for the help!

Handcuffs are completely useless when it comes to Soukoku. Dazai appears to be an expert at lockpicking and can escape whenever he feels like it. And if Chuuya can't just break the cuffs, the dude spent almost eight years fighting with his hands in his pockets, so he doesn't really need 'em. So, overall assessment: handcuffs are completely useless on Soukoku.
I think if Dazai got a psych diagnosis it would be Borderline Personality Disorder. Hear me out. He hits just about every sympton listed on the Mayo Clinic's website. Suicidal and feelings of emptiness are shown throught BSD. We see him being involved in risky behavior (gambling, drinking, literally putting himself in dangerous situations/harms way). Inappropriate, strong anger is a bit harder to catch since his isn't physical or loud like Chuuya, instead Dazai tends to get sarcastic and bitter as we see in 15 or he gets "even," if someone one ups him he attempts to destroy them as we see with Fyodor and as shown with the quote Oda had about Dazai’s enemies. His relationships are rather unstable (don't think anyone will argue with me there) and there is an argument that he has abandonment issues which is why he keeps people at arms length, kinda a "you didn't leave me, I pushed you away" deal. If you're paying attention you can also catch when he's manic and when he's masking. Most of the time, he's masking. One exception is at Lupin Bar with Oda and Ango. He's not as over the top like when he's masking, but he's also much more excitable than usual. It's a subtle difference and I've found that it's not shown in the anime as much as it is the novels.
Please note: I say this as someone who is diagnosed neurospicy, so my personal experience may be at play in my analysis.
Can I just say the ending of BSD season 5 was one of Dazai's dumbest moments?
!!Heavy BSD spoilers btw!!
Obviously a helicopter crash can kill the average human, especially when they're stabbed in the gut and can't leave. But this is Fyodor we're talking about. He's definitely not a normal human being. This season alone he proved he can escape death, as seen in Dazais death trap. So why would Dazai expect Fyodor to be dead by just a simple plane crash and stab to the gut with the only evidence of his demise being a torn arm?
My points:
Nikolai possibly saving Fyodor last minute: Nikolai was right there. The guy who not only allianced himself with Fyodor, but also has teleportation abilities. Who's to say that while the plane crashed, Nikolai hadn't used his ability to save Fyodor? Mentally challenged caracters like Nikolai, who dreams about killing a friend/rival, usually dont really wanna kill their rival. They have a change of heart at the last minute and try hard to keep said rival alive. I'm sure Nikolai has that same mentality.
Chuuya's disguise: Lets be honest, there's no way Fyodor was convinced about Chuuya being a vampire with just some contact lenses and fake teeth. I'm sure he had some sort of plan before entering the helicopter. What if that pause before he entered the door wasnt just him thinking about Dazai's "death" but also how its too easy, or maybe he knew this would happen so he made some sort of precaution plan before hand.
Sigma: Remember how Sigma touched Fyodor? Well we still dont know Fyodor's true ability and it's lazy writing to just kill a big antagonist without giving all the lore. What if Sigma either had an ability he didnt know about or Fyodors secret ability was to transfer himself/pieces of himself to others. We still know little about Sigma, and he's just as mysterious as Fyodor. Thats why I think Dazai choosing Sigma as an option wasn't just to free/give Sigma a better life, but maybe Dazai knew more about Sigmas purpose.
Fyodor having no dead body shown: At the end, all we have is an arm and deadly scene to go off of. If I were Dazai, I'd definitely use Chuuya to check Fyodors remains. Like, dude said "aight theres an arm, so he's dead. Lets go Chuuya!" Im scenarios like this, it mostly implies that Fyodor isnt dead and would likely have some big reveal later on.
Dead or not, it would prob take us 5 years till the next season drops. The anime is caught up to the manga, so we gotta wait till enough chapters release for the animation to start back up. Anyways love BSD either way and can't wait to see the future of the series.
