what can Atsushi's outfit tell us about his role, not only in the ADA, but the entire story?

(I'm slowly starting to cross-post everything from my tiktok analyses to tumblr and twitter. I'll link all of the original videos at the end of each post!)

let's first talk about what I think of as the Central Theme™️, something echoed throughout all aspects of BSD: the balance of light and dark. I have an entire tumblr post talking about it which you can read here, but for those of us who need a tldr: every character, organisation and even action is sorted into the category of "dark" (evil; yin; black) or "light" (good; yang; white). the PM is considered the "ruler of darkness," and the ADA the "guardian of the twilight."

when we first meet Atsushi, he is dressed in clothes that are ill-fitting and look very uncomfortable. we very quickly learn that his biggest internal conflict surrounds his lack of self-confidence- he thinks of himself as a nobody who belongs nowhere... and this is echoed in his outfit. in a city divided into black and white, he wears grey. his clothing does not only give us an insight into how we are supposed to see him, but also into how he sees himself!

this is where I want to bring up a point Asagiri sensei mentioned in an interview once- he chose Atsushi to be his main character because he felt that he could easily change the course of Atsushi's life. the RL Atsushi Nakaijima was not as well-known as the others, leading Asagiri sensei to feel as though he was more malleable than the others.

(translation via Popopretty1)

anyway, back to the costume design.

some people know this, but others have never heard: the outfit gifted to Atsushi in episode 2 (chapter 2) is comprised of items donated by each member of the Agency.

(I'm sorry for the Tanizakis but this image is just too helpful)

this outfit indicates a hugely important shift for Atsushi; the difference between being a nobody and becoming a somebody.

he became someone, because the Agency believed in him, far before he believed in himself.

the best part about all of this, to me, is that Atsushi still has a very long way to go! his character development so far has been so incredible, though, and comparing the Atsushi we know now to episode 1 Atsushi genuinely makes me tear up 🥺🥺

I hope this makes sense!! here's the original video link ~

i like to think that atsushi picks up some of akutagawa's speech habits the longer they're around each other - and vice versa - and occasionally he'll mean to say "it's no problem!" when a minor inconvenience that annoys him happens and instead he says "i'm sure you have plenty of other problems you caused to deal with, so don't worry about this one" and it doesn't click at All for him that he's more of a passive aggressive dick when he's annoyed until he says something like that to dazai who dumps paperwork on his desk, and junichirou offers to buy him a drink for growing a spine

Putting them all together-

It does feel surreal ngl

This is- a lot.

There was a lot that went into them..

I did a Goretober with my own Original Characters the year before and the difference is- kind of crazy to me.

What are your overall thoughts on my BSD Goretober?

“just the two of us?” “do we need any more?” have we ever needed any more? it hasn’t always been us. it can always be us. we take our tea the same way. did you know? in another universe we’re still on opposite sides. we’re more similar than you think. we were raised two different ways by the same mentor. you’re an image of what i could’ve been. i want to save you. i don’t need to be saved. do we need any more?
