hello. anon who asked for chuuya analysis here. u can just call me Kitty because dats my nickname in school. sorry if i'm bothering you all the time but i can't help myself i love u and ur blog to bits. thank you very much for answering my ask on natsume tripartite system. hope ur doing well. a thought just crossed my mind. i was wondering how is shin soukoku gonna defeat Fyodor (that rat). so i was thinking maybe dazai takes down fyodor with his smarts and shin soukoku takes down fukichi.

G’morning! (Or afternoon, or evening.) Kitty’s a really sweet nickname!! And, no worries, asks are never a bother. Glad you enjoy my content :) 

Hm, the defeat of Ratman. I really have no idea how that’s going to go down, honestly. There’s shaping up to be a pretty epic shin soukoku teamup fight against Fukuchi right now, which is great, because we’re overdue for some ADA wins!! Part of me feels that we’re going into endgame with this arc, so I’m thinking SSKK will actually defeat Fukuchi in the next few chapters. I mean, narratively, we’ve already had the third act “oh god everything has gone completely wrong” moment, and things are starting to look better.

But Ratman. Assuming everything goes to plan and SSKK kicks Fukuchi’s criminal ass, gets the page back, and resets reality, Fyodor’s still going to be in jail. There’s always the possibility that he’ll just stay there, and they’ll do something to bullshit Dazai out. But Fyodor already has a way to communicate to his allies and there’s still the other members of the Decay of Angels out there, so this kind of ending means he may come back again.

I honestly don’t think there’s going to be a straight fight between Dazoo and Fyodor. It’s not either of their styles. So, like you suggested, perhaps a battle of wits ala Ace v. Fyodor? This is more likely, I think, though I don’t know what it would look like. Ace v. Fyodor worked because there was a concrete goa and specific circumstances--for Fyodor to kill Ace, and the circumstances worked because Ace was a gambling addict. 

If Ace had been any more cautious or less of a risk-taker, he would still be alive. Dazai isn’t the type to take risks that could backfire so spectacularly, and he isn’t as overconfident as Ace was. And he’s smarter than Ace. So Fyodor can’t manipulate the situation to put himself so definitively in control. 

 The true battle between Dazai and Fyodor, the two puppet masters, is between their subordinates. After the Fukuchi fight, assuming we really are going into endgame? That’s when the real battle of wits begins. If Dazai can out maneuver Fyodor again, like in cannibalism, he wins. 

To be honest though? Part of me thinks it’ll be Ranpo who outwits Fyodor in the end. Just for a little bit of fourth-act irony, that the great Dos-kun was defeated by an ability-less detective. Because, yknow. It’s easy to forget that BSD has four geniuses (Mori being the last), because three of them are puppet masters and the last doesn’t care enough to use his brain that way. 

Whatever happens, it’ll probably break my brain. Hopefully my ask answered your question or was helpful in some way!
