Sigma and Lucy and their connection to Atsushi (+the pattern with people Atsushi wants to help and how Sigma falls into it)

(Or how they all fall into it, and quite literally fall since for some reason there's a repeated pattern of important moments between Kyouka, Lucy and Sigma when it comes to Atsushi and one or both of them falling or jumping from a high ledge)

I've never been able to stop thinking about this so I'm finally making a post on this.

I'm gonna mainly compare chapter 28 and chapter 76, and the events surrounding these chapters that take place on the same day as them and in relation to them.

The chapters show us more on a member of the enemy terrorist organisation that the ADA are currently up against. In the chapter (or around this chapter for Sigma), we see the backstory of a member and bit of their ideology.

This character started out life with no family and no home, being used and abused in their early years.

It's noted that their backstory is similar to Atsushi's, and that they are actually very similar to him.

The character loses their home in this chapter (or implied in this chapter for Lucy), and the only family they had that they desperately clung onto and fought for. Even if it wasn't a proper family, it was all they had. They'd been alone their whole lives and didn't want to be alone again.

The home and family in question are on a floating structure in the sky. This is also where the chapter takes place.

Atsushi says something to this character that affects them. The character ends up helping him just before the two part ways.

This is the last look they give Atsushi before they leave eachother

The character and Atsushi leave eachother by one of them falling. For Chapter 28 it's Atsushi who jumps off leaving Lucy, and they leave with a hopeful interaction of them meeting again. For Chapter 76, it's Sigma who falls leaving Atsushi, with a less hopeful interaction of Atsushi believing Sigma is dead and Sigma letting go believing he would die.

Notably in this chapter, right after Sigma falls Lucy shows up. The last ex-terrorist now friend/ally to Atsushi. And in opposition to both Chapter 28 (where Atsushi jumped away from her) and the scene that just happened (with Atsushi failing to save an enemy) she jumps off a high ledge TOWARDS Atsushi to save him. Lucy was where Sigma currently is, and both her and her bond with Atsushi have grown a lot since then, and this could also be the future for Sigma.

There is a promise for Atsushi to save this character. Unfortunately, he doesn't end up saving them. They also get taken again by their organisation, no longer by any will of their own.

Chapter 76 including these three with notable moments definitely feels to me like a comparison of Lucy and Sigma and their relationship with Atsushi. Sigma's situation is very similar to Lucy's as I've previously shown. Terrorists that have recently suffered loss in regards to their found home and family, that get a connection with Atsushi in this chapter. Unlike with Lucy, Sigma and Atsushi left eachother without hope of seeing the other again or Atsushi being able to help them (for the characters, the story itself does give hope of this happening). Then Lucy shows up, as a reminder of the last enemy he helped that DID turn out OK, and to show how far Lucy has come since then, since she was where Sigma is. It shows that hope might not be lost for Sigma either.

With it already being established that Sigma now wants to become an ADA member, the possibility of seeing Sigma grow like Lucy did and develop a bond with Atsushi like she did gets closer to being canon. There's something there and I'm really looking forward to seeing how Sigma's character could possibly develop after this arc (and when he wakes up because my guy is likely in a coma rn 😔)

The Pattern

I've stated that Lucy being in chapter 76 is important to show the connection Sigma could eventually have with Atsushi, but even though she's not in that chapter it's also important to note Kyouka. In the sky Casino mission to retrieve Sigma, where Sigma and Atsushi meet for the first time, it was specifically Lucy and Kyouka who went with Atsushi.

For both Lucy and Kyouka, there were three notable incidents with Atsushi until they become allied with the ADA permanently.

Kyouka:

- Atsushi saving her from the train

- Atsushi saving her from Akutagawa

- Kyouka escaping the Guild and becoming an official ADA member

Lucy:

- Atsushi beating Lucy

- Atsushi and Lucy's talk on the Whale

- Atsushi and Lucy's meeting in the cafe

The pattern here was there being a first meeting where Atsushi is shown wanting to help the character even though they're an enemy that he just thought against and a terrorist.

The next incident takes place a while after the first and is a pivotal point where its made certain in the story that things will turn out OK for the enemy character. A bond is set between them and Atsushi. -------------------------- After the second incident, things in fact do not turn out OK for the character and the audience was actually led into a false security. Kouyou shows up after to try and take back Kyouka, and the Guild kidnaps Lucy from her room before Atsushi can 'come back and save her'. Now the character is in danger again and their fate is once again up in the air, only now there's more at stake since a bond with Atsushi has already been established and the audience has been given the chance to grow attached to them. Whether or not this character will be able to join 'the side of the light' and have a home and family like they wanted is uncertain again

It's the third incident that sets into stone again that the character does in fact turn out OK. They reunite with Atsushi, and they finally get to live a good life with a home and the freedom to live how they wished to. The character is now connected with the ADA and after this point in the story, no matter what happens to the character their place in the light is never thrown into question again, they belong here.

So I believe this could happen with Sigma. He doesn't follow the exact same process, considering that Sigma is also being helped by Dazai, and could be grouped with Atsushi as someone Dazai saved, but chapter 76 still follows the pattern well enough that I believe this could happen.

We've already had our first incident with their meeting. Despite me comparing this chapter to Lucy and Atsushi's second meeting, for Sigma and Atsushi this still fits into the territory of the first part of the pattern.

(Intetesting note: Unlike with Lucy and Kyouka, after it was established that Atsushi wanted to help the enemy, this was the first time where Atsushi 'failed' to. He jumped from the train with Kyouka, he jumped off the Whale after promising to come back for Lucy, but at the sky Casino it was Sigma who fell instead, and Atsushi stayed thinking that he just saw the last of a now dead man that he failed to help. Then again, it could just be following the pattern and we'll see a more hopeful outcome with their second meeting)

The second incident will likely be them meeting again. It will end more hopefully, with a further bond between Atsushi and Sigma and more hope for Sigma joining the ADA.

If we then follow the pattern, something bad will happen to Sigma to throw this off course, and put into question whether he'll actually be able to join the ADA and get a home.

This will last for some time, until the third part eventually comes where Sigma finally gets to stay with his new home and new life. After this, it should be permanent to the story and Sigma shouldn't have his status as an ADA member/ally put into question or at risk again.

Just so everyone knows these two panels flash into my mind at least 5 times a day

OK so my favourite bsd polycule is Sigmatsulucy + Akutagawa

Basically it's that meme where there's a polyamourous group and one of the people in the group isn't dating anyone he's just there.

Here's the dynamics:

Atsushi and Lucy: Dating

Sigma and Atsushi: either dating or in a qpr

Sigma and Lucy: either also dating or close friends that are down to live together and maybe even get married in the future who knows

Sigmatsulucy are all living together in this scenario and even if Sigma is in a qpr with Atsushi and friends with Lucy instead of dating both of them, they're still just as close and important in the relationship.

Akutagawa isn't dating anyone (I headcanon him as AroAce), but he and Atsushi eventually form a sort of frenemies queerplatonic relationship. He doesn't live with the group, but because him and Atsushi are basically bonded he's ends up with the group pretty often and is basically an honourary member of the polycule.

He butt's heads with Lucy at first but they chill out, and he gets on with Sigma surprisingly well at first cause it turns out they're similar in some ways.

He still lives in his own apartment but sometimes he'll spend time at their place and maybe even spend nights there.

How the polycule sleeps

❤️💜🤍🖤

(Basically an addition to my last post on Sigmatsulucy sleeping habits, but this one is more just for fun and it has Akutagawa too)

V1:

Atsushi - curled up at the end of the bed like a cat

Sigma - on his back with full nightgown and little cap

Lucy - sprawled out and surrounded by plushies

Akutagawa - hanging from the ceiling cause that vampire dna had some leftovers + he's emo

V2:

Trick question, they all have insomnia so they're all either up talking or watching a movie together and in various stages of drifting off/passing out from exhaustion and waking up again

V3:

They all sleep in a group like animal packs do because its nice to fall asleep with the warmth of other people

[bungobble-my-balls]

I just realised that if Sigma does become friends with Atsushi then Atsushi officially has a 3/3 track record of saving trans girls.

Makes sense considering trans girls and catboys are like magnets to eachother.

(Mostly Lucy)

Atsushi and Sigma both have difficulty sleeping (for Atsushi, Byakko can still get restless at night and he occasionally has nightmares, for Sigma he never had a healthy sleep schedule before and is still struggling to adapt to one), so sometimes if neither of them can sleep they'll watch a movie together in the living room.

Lucy has her bad nights, but more often she's actually a deep sleeper. But If she wakes up and notices they've left, she'll go to wherever they are with the blanket and fall right back asleep either between them or lying on top of one of them.

Occasionally they'll end up just talking in the kitchen or out on the balcony until either of them feels tired enough, and in those cases Lucy might just check up on them and go back to bed, or if she's awake enough she'll just stay with them and lean on one of their shoulders half asleep. Even if she's tired, the company and just listening to her partners talk to eachother while she rests is nice and calming.

In the orphanage Lucy would always sleep in Anne's room, and she knew she was safe in there so she never had trouble sleeping. Even with the Guild she would sleep in Anne's room. She only struggled sleeping at the start of her and Atsushi's relationship because she wasn't used to having someone with her and not being protected in her room. Lucy knew she could trust Atsushi though, and after some time adgusting she was able to sleep better again.

Eventually when Sigma joined their relationship, she had problems sleeping again, but because at this point her and Atsushi had already known Sigma for some time and knew he was trustworthy, it didn't take too long for her to get back to her regular sleeping pattern.

After getting used to sleeping with the two of them, Lucy found herself more physically comfortable with them. Even when she's awake she'll usually find herself leaning on one of them or just resting her head or hand on them casually.

🎲🐯🧸

Lucy likes to caccoon herself when she sleeps. Usually she'll surround herself with stuffed toys, and after getting into a relationship she also likes to surround herself with her partners. She's most often the middle spoon, but sometimes she's on the edge and just surrounded by plushies.

I'm in the middle of writing out my Sigmatsulucy headcanon of how they got together but I keep adding and re-writting shit and this is either gonna be multiple posts or one VERY long post

I love making content for niche subjects that only I care about and showing people anyway. It is my favourite activity 💕
