Kirei-no-tsuki - "Life Is Beautiful"

I have seen ppl say that the new chapter was trash because “oh Chuuya is now in Fyodor’s hands. Dazai isn’t doing anything he must feel horrible.” ?? I am aware you love Soukoku but let’s talk about canon fact here.

Dazai took Chuuya from the sheep, an immature group of homeless gangsters who fended for themselves in Suribachi city. That same Sheep that betrayed Chuuya because Dazai told them lies. Dazai, after Chuuya was stabbed and off a cliff, struck a deal with him that if he joined the mafia that the sheep would be fine. This was of course because Chuuya was cornered. His only family thought he was a traitor and the source of it was Dazai.

As stated before Dazai already made that decision when he had that phone call with Mori. In other words what he did wasn’t to protect Chuuya — he made that phone call before the sheep told Chuuya that they are his only power and belong to him.

Time skip here to the present main manga. They are adults. What happened happened. Dazai and Chuuya’s partnership is out of trust. The whole soulmate thing came from the producer not Asagiri. And you can see that there is nothing soulmate-y about them. The two dislike each other — as stated in their wiki, as stated in the novel Stormbringer and stated in many other works — the two dislike each other. But they are mature enough to know that they should set their differences aside for the sake of Yokohama.

Now we are at the current chapter where Chuuya is a vampire. Dazai is amused. He isn’t heart broken. He isn’t scared. He is amused. Amused that Fyodor decided to play such a wild card. Dazai and Fyodor are the same in a way that they see their allies and enemies as chest pieces. The same way how other geniuses in the series besides Ranpo (and to refreshes your memory ; Mori, Sasaki and Ayatsuji) they will use their brains instead of their attachments to others. Dazai not caring if Chuuya is in pain or in danger is canon. Dazai caring if Chuuya is in pain or not is not canon. Calling Asagiri’s writing garbage just because your stuck in your own headcanon is stupid.

Anyone can hate a character. Heck I was never interested in Dazai, Fyodor or Chuuya for that matter. But calling Asagiri’s writing garbage even though he fed you WAY too much Chuuya content than needed since he is only a support character is entitled and selfish. You may ship Soukoku however you want. Heck ppl who don’t ship it have to deal with toxic Soukoku shippers harassing others because they don’t ship it. But saying Asagiri sucks?? Just because you ship something and he himself is thinking of his story?

Wow. How the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom has fallen so low all because you can’t put your own headcanon away from canon.

Edit: also if anyone says that I am making SKK sound simplistic I am just scratching the surface of the main issue here. This is not a SKK analysis this is just to talk about the issue with ppl saying Asagiri’s writing sucks because of shipping reasons

After watching bsd wan ep 11

I remember oda's dialogue with gide about he and ango want to stay by dazai's side and they understand of how lonely dazai is

Oh Dazai please don’t ever change I love you so much

What I want to know now is how chuuya got bitten and how Dazai will handle this considering he will fight his own partner in this matter with sigma on his team. Of course, Dazai know what is Chuuya's strength and weakness so maybe that will make it a little easier? What happened to the other mafias? Chuuya is one of their strongest so it's possible they are the same 🤷

ADA help Aya so Ranpo will have his own plan, I know they'll be okay.

And I do have the feeling that maybe Verlaine or someone else strong will show up later in this arc because they are now some kind of shorthanded 🤷

Don't know. This is just my thoughts. Nevertheless, this chapter's amazing

I CAN'T IF I SEE THIS ANIMATED. I'LL CRY 😭😭😭

this scene animated….. 🥲

⚠️ Chapter 95 ⚠️

I miss him 🥺

あああああああああ Natsume Yuujinchou is doing an anime site pilgrimage collab with Kumamoto prefecture!!!! Finally, something that’s high-key relevant to my interests!! I’ve done Hitoyoshi/Natsume locations that one year but being the long running series that it is I knew for sure there’d be so many other places I have yet to check off my list. Japan please get well soon I would LOVE to have reasons to come visit you again!!  Site here:  https://kumamoto.guide/natsume-yujincho/

Asagiri sure knows how to give us the same pain in more than one way. Hoshikawa made it worse

Happy birthday to this dorkiest and silliest character from BSD !

My wish for you is just for you to be the happiest character I've ever know ❤️
