BSD Chapter 106.5

"In the Narrow Room" - Part 2.2

This chapter is the continuation of Mersault with Dazai and Sigma.

I love this chapter!!! But at the same time I'm so shocked I have no words T_T Hands shaking just typing this out so please forgive me if I make any mistake (I don't speak English nor Japanese as my native language)

SPOILERS AHEAD

Sigma tries to get out of the water to get some air but the water is burning so he has to dive back in. Apparently the fuel coming from the wall is Fyodor's doing. Dazai tells Sigma to use his gun to shoot the door but it is too hard the bullets do not work. Sigma is almost out of breath when he notices the fire has stopped and believes that the fuel has burned out so he tries to swim to the surface but before he can get out of water, he is pulled back down by Dazai.

At first Sigma thinks Dazai is trying to kill him. He blames himself for being too naive to think that he could trust Dazai, before after all, Dazai is just like Fyodor - someone from *that side*. But as they get closer in the water, he realizes Dazai is just trying to stop him from doing a sucidal act - that he only came to understand later. Basically, the fire has burnt up all the oxygen left in that narrow space, that's why there is no oxygen left in the air above water. If one inhales that air, their blood will lose oxygen instead and it can lead to immediate death. This is also a part of Fyodor's evil plan.

When Sigma is already at his limit, Dazai grabs the gun, puts his hand out of the water and shoots the electric box (?) of the elevator. He uses Sigma as a step to jump out of the water, into the non-oxygen room, shoots something inside the electric box and inserts his arm into it. After that, the door starts to slighly open and Sigma uses all his strength to force it open, letting the water out. Sigma realizes that what Dazai destroyed is the wire that control the opening and closing of the elevator door. It is not as strong as the door itself and can be broken by force. Dazai somehow saw through this structure and was able to stick his hand through the weak part of the devices to destroy the wires. However, Sigma stilll doesn't understand how Dazai was able to find those wires.

Sigma finally gets out of the water. He is able to breath normally, so he turns to Dazai, looking happy. Dazai also smiles back at him, but then they hears the automated voice inside the elevator, saying that since the water operation has failed, the safety device for the elevator will be purged and it will proceed to free fall. Right after that, the elevator starts to drop. Sigma reaches for the opening in the door, thinking that he has to escape from there before the elevator fully accelerates, but it is too far from him and he thinks he's going to die. Dazai smiles and tells him that he promised he would return Sigma alive, then he uses his whole body to push Sigma out of that door to safety, while he is still inside. Before disappearing from side, he tells Sigma that he leaves the rest to him.

Thank you for reading till the end. I personally believe Dazai will still survive, but his selfless act in this chapter just makes me wanna cry...

The next chapter will come out on May 2nd.

[its-jijii]

well this is. an unpopulated board for sure? at least i didnt forget forever this time okay anyway translation here and very mild spoilers below the cut

another kinda sloow chapter dealing with fukuchi backstory. i hope we get teruko’s explanation soon!! i dont have many thoughts on this chapter idk. i put question marks over traumatic reveal bc fukuchi was lowkey freaking out when fukuzawa was saying “nah i cant help you”. okay anyway till next chapter!!

Hi and welcome back to “i thought i did this 6 days ago” (i actually didnt and just forgot for embarrassingly long). translation is here and spoilers below the cut

TERUKO PLEASE EXPLAIN WHATS GOING ON IM GOING INSANE ACTUALLY i hate fukuchi so much but i also need to know what makes him tick so i can decide whether to hate him more or pity him. im also very curious for fukuchi’s upbringing (training??) with fukuzawa. i hope asagiri and harukawa get a good break and bsd chapter bingo will be back in november.....

[its-jijii]

Every time i remembered to do this i was busy and couldn’t get on my computer.......... okay anyway raws are here LOL + spoilers below the cut

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO RANPO I AM KILLING EVERYONE AND THEN MYSELF /J. uhhhh anyway! :) im smiling through the pain and praying that this somehow wont end awfully..... i feel like no matter what fukuzawa does, this ends in Bad News for the ADA. im sad the chapter was so short bc god i wanna know what happens next BUT ig i can live with dramatic cliffhangers every chapter. until next time!!

[its-jijii]

I wish I can talk to you

[its-jijii]

Omg happy 300th post sorry its just a boring old chapter bingo. im tryna get around to writing more analysis cause i have ideas, just bad attention span, but ill leave that for another day. at least im not days late this time! raws are here and spoilers are below the cut

KUNIKIDA NOOOO IM GETTING 2018 FLASHBACKS TO THE HELICOPTER BRO /hj but please let him be okay. please. please. i dont wanna wait another like, 3.5 years to find out if hes okay or not. im also praying for atsushi, if we get a continuation of atsushis pov next chapter... Hm! that would be interesting. additionally, im sure everyone noticed, but akutagawa didn’t stab anyone with rashoumon. he just stabbed through some clothing, but no blood. part of me wonders if hes still trying not to kill anyone even after he died 😭 it would be kinda funny tho. okay until next time guys!! reminder im on instagram @ meintheattachmentissues (im making bsd kinnie bingos rn)

[its-jijii]

Nooo definitely didn’t forget about this for four days (im sorry i did). raws r here and spoilers below the cut!

SO. this is not the chapter i wanted, but i accept asagiri’s story telling choices. i was dying of curiosity of what would happen since last chapter, so this was a bit... Underwhelming. glad to see akutagawa back though! and i am Praying for atsushi holy fuck 

ANYWAY so i was working on some instagram content related to bsd.. i didnt rlly wanna post them here bc 1. big images 2. they’re made for instagram stories, not anything on tumblr that im aware of. BUT if u wanna use the bingos i made so far (pm + ada dazai, kunikida, ranpo, and atsushi), feel free to check them out in my story highlights here! 

[its-jijii]

Nooo i definitely didn't get so overwhelmed by this chapter that i straight up kept putting this off all day and now its 5 am and im remembering to do this. anyway here's raws if u somehow haven't seen them LMAO

Hi so who else is mildly suicidal over this months chapter! wow um. the only positive things i can find out of this are 1. im sure chuuya wont actually die, if asagiri killed him off he'd be losing most of his fanbase and 2. although people are making excuses and explanations for why he'd say something so horrible, i hope at least some of the people maaybe realize he's..... kind of a terrible person HAHA. this chapter is just another chapter ill end up analyzing and going "bro what good person says something like this to someone they've known for 7 years" cause DAMN that was insane. okay anyway until next chapter!!
