Little does Chuuya know, this won’t just be a one time team up with Dazai
Chuuya from the Helluva Boss AU!!!
Dazai from the Helluva Boss AU!!!
I remembered that some octopi can change colors, so what if octozai can change colors and mimicked Chuuya with a fake hat? 😮
I had so much fun doing the costumes, but I regret my sudden impulse decision to make the background a bunch of lines bc it took forever 😐
Embarrassed Dazai to test out brushes and rendering!!!
Every time I watch Banana Fish i get sad so I haven’t worked on this as much. But I have come up with an unfinished list of characters that may be changed in the future as I flesh this au out more :)
Ash: Dazai
Eiji: Chuuya
Golzine: Mori
Yut Lung: Fyodor?
Sing: Kunikida?
Shorter: Oda?
Blanca: Fukuzawa
Max: Ango
Ibe: Kouyou
Skip: Atsushi
Doodle dump for Helluva Boss SKK!!!
“Six tickets to Barbie, please!” 💕
Barbenheimer reference?
Wanted to show off their size difference in this AU!
Short comic of one of my favorite parts of Spider-Chuuya's backstory!
(Read left to right)
Part two of the previous drawing!
Of course I can’t make a single AU without finding some way to sneak angst in… 😂
Now I’m imagining what if Mer-Dazai was captured at some point? How guilty would Chuuya feel for not protecting him?
(Good news is he was always an escape artist, but Chuuya hasn’t thought of that yet)
Gin Akutagawa Reference
Parents die
Live on streets as thieves with Ryuunosuke
Gin bit by spider and they steals for the both of them (mostly trying to save their brother)
Dazai shows up trying to find the superpowered teen he kept seeing
he thought it was Ryuunosuke but he was very wrong
Gin kicks his butt when he intrudes on their place and he's surprised but not in a bad way
Dazai becomes the mentor figure of this universe who eventually dies (wow I’ve had to write that a lot and ik that’s the point but still)
Not sure who would die first, but both Dazai and Ryuu die at this point
Gin becomes Spider-Man and nobody knows who they are because mask+never speaks
Gin ends up dating Higuchi and Tachihara in this universe. I think Tachi will be some kind of law enforcement and Higuchi will be some kind of criminal just because I find it hilarious. Imagine some kind of
Hero x law enforcement x criminal
Ryuunosuke Akutagawa Reference
This Universe is a weird mix of Beast and Canon BSD
Lost Parents and lived on streets with sister
The two of them stole a lot bc food and Aku's illness
The two of them get split up somehow and go down very different paths. Should shin become a super villain in this one?
Bit by spider, Oda finds them (Aku tries to steal from him) which leads to typical mentor figure stuff before Oda dies
Aku becomes Spiderman
Additional notes:
Dazai and Chuuya are two of the main villains (Cuz Beast) in this one which makes things very awkward for Aku when multiverse stuff starts happening
Atsushi Nakajima Reference
Lost Parents and was in orphanage
Bit by spider and chaos ensues
Basically think of the typical chaos caused by a spider person figuring out their powers (I'm thinking lunchroom scene from Tobey Maguire spiderman one)
Runs away from orphanage and spends time on the streets being a thief
Runs into Dazai who is his mentor figure and takes him in
Dazai dies (not sure how yet but it leads to Atsushi becoming Spider-man)
More details will come later!
Osamu Dazai Reference
Past and Details below (some things may change)
This Dazai is the only exception to the multiversal Dazai rule
Parents died (Double suicide? Accident? Killed to cover something up?) and Dazai left, roaming the streets trying to find a painless end
Mori finds Dazai and saves him from a suicide attempt just like in canon
Dazai starts helping Mori in his villainous schemes (yes he's a supervillain in this one and like all villains he has some big company thing)
Maybe he actually gets a villain persona at this point with cool tech and stuff?
Not sure when he gets the spider bite but here feels like a good spot maybe kinda sorta
Taken in by Oda who is the city's hero currently. Dazai asks why he does that even with nothing in return and Oda says the great power great responsibility thing and says that he finds meaning in his life from it.
Mori causes Oda's death
Dazai figures this out and takes down Mori's entire empire of villains and takes the Spider-Man role
In the final fight with Mori, Dazai loses sight in his right eye (how did that end up opposite of canon?)
Chuuya Nakahara Reference
Past and Details Below!!! (Not all details are cemented so things might change?)
Parents die in an accident and kid Chuuya is in hospital
Decide whether stolen by an evil lab thing and proclaimed dead or if he escapes (if he runs away he’s older if lab route he’s younger)
Lab route: stolen by a lab that specializes in villain tech and making superhuman powers by testing on kids
Chuuya escapes and accidentally is bit by another test subject, the spider
[If not lab route continue here]
Chuuya escapes and is picked up by the Sheep. He’s their thief and though he mostly hides his powers they do use him for his strengths
Chuuya is caught during a robbery and the sheep leave him behind
Murase takes Chuuya in and tries to convince him to do good. Chuuya says he’s full of shit
Supervillain Verlaine shows up and kills Murase. Chuuya remembers his words and becomes Spider-Man
Chuuya is taken in by a group of heroes/vigilantes called The Flags who promise to give him a home and show him the ropes
They die from Verlaine as well (sorry Chuuya)
Chuuya defeats Verlaine and cements his role as the hero of his city
Decides to keep his distance from everyone because of previous losses
Meets a cute boy in a cafe and has a short conversation where they just click. They exchange numbers and Chuuya debates if he should make an exception to his rule
Before he can ever meet up with that cute boy again, he dies
Decide if it should be a villain and Chuuya thinks it’s his fault, or if it’s something unavoidable like an undetected illness
Or maybe it’s a multiverses rule that this person dies??? Hmmmmm wonder who that can be???
More Octo-Dazai doodles!!! I love drawing him tiny but I have to actually include his full form occasionally 😂
AU where Dazai is an octopus merperson that can shrink to a tiny boi
Chuuya is a marine biologist/aquatic veterinarian who finds an injured tiny octopus and heals him then keeps him around until he’s all better
Dazai can’t shift back until he’s healed bc it takes energy or something
Either Chuuya releases him and he comes back in full mer form or a human form or he shifts back while in captivity and is just as clingy and affectionate as usual confusing the hell out of Chuuya and his coworkers

Rescue!!! I skipped out on drawing most of the ADA stuff with Dazai but he’s back to save Chuuya!!!

I love the moment in the movie where Sheeta realizes the robot is protecting her so of course I had to have Chuuya’s realization in this AU

I’m so happy I replaced the robot with a dragon imagine the pain of trying to draw a robot multiple times 😭
SKK Castle in the Sky Part 10!!!

Instead of what happened in the movie, Chuuya is a little meaner to get Dazai to leave (to save his life). So he purposefully tries to make Dazai hate him and since Dazai isn’t good with feelings he doesn’t realize he’s being tricked until hes captured by pirates and Rampo talks some sense into him
SKK Castle in the Sky AU Part 9!!!

Since I didn’t want to copy/paste the design for the robot AND I hate drawing robots in general, I replaced Laputa’s robot army with dragons 😅

I think this is my first time drawing Verlaine… That should be considered a crime XD
