#bsd episode 11

[gildeddlily]

MORE MUSHITARO im actually going to kms because of him and his dead bf

first, bones really said "go on with the tradition" and did the ass shot, and made their life purpose to kill me with silly mushitaro (kyouka is so adorable im gonna cry, not her looking at my boy like he's crazy and atsushi being actually impressed I can't)

then they pull out this and I was ready to throw away my pc and start screaming cause yeah I've had a thing for him since I first saw him but you dont' have to be pitiless with my mental healt)

then they make me cry even tho I've already read the manga and hald-recovered from them, and now I've understood that everyone is pitiless about our mental healt and trying to stay sane is a lost battle

BSD S5 E11 theory with spoilers (obviously)

Kind of a 2 in 1.

So l've been thinking about the last episode a lot over the past couple of days. Mostly about how unsatisfying it felt. It's been about 6 years since everything with the DOA started in the manga. That's 6 years of wondering what's going to happen. How are the ADA going to get out of this one. Are my favourite characters going to be ok.

Only for it to end up being that they where never in any danger to begin with.

It was all staged. Tanizaki and Kunikida would have been fine no matter what, all you had to do was unplug the machine. Chuuya was never a vampire to begin with. Dazai escaped the prison and got the antidote. Fyodor is finally killed. Everyone's fine. It was all just a convoluted set up.

But then that got me thinking. It all ended a little too perfectly.

Enter the book/page.

What if someone wrote in the book to help the agency so that everything would end happily ever after. The machines where dangerous. Until someone wrote in the book that they weren't. Chuuya was actually a vampire. Until someone wrote in the book that he wasn't.

And so on.

So then who would have access to the book/page. Well we don't know where the book is, that's what everyone is looking for. People most likely to actually know where it is would be Taneda and of course Natsume. Of those two Natsume is the most likely. We haven't seen him since the Canabalism arc and we know that he's always working behind the scenes to help out. So what was he doing while the agency was being framed?

But let's leave that as a possibility for now and move onto my second theory.

The page. Last we saw Fukuchi had it. So that leave's Fukuzawa, Ranpo and Teruko with easy access.

But here's what l'm thinking.

The otherside of the page was supposed to be written on that night. But if Fukuchi was already planning on dying then how would he do that?

The answer is he wouldn't. But you know who could? Teruko.

We already know she talked with Fukuchi before everything went down and that she was on his side. So what if Fukuchi gave the page to Teruko and told her what to write. Or maybe just gave it to her for safe keeping.

Either way Teruko would have the page. And what would you do if you where just forced to kill someone you love and you have the ability to manipulate reality. You'd try bring them back.

Enter weird Fukuchi from the end of the episode.

We already know that the book/page can bring people from inside the book outside the book because of Sigma. So what if in Terukos grief she wrote on the page for Fukuchi to be a live.

But because our Fukuchi was already dead it wouldn't make narrative sense for him to suddenly come back to life. So what if instead the book brought a different Fukuchi from inside the book into the main world.

Or if we're going of how the book works in Beast then main world swapped with a world where Fukuchi was alive. Which would also explain Akutagawas weird outfit.

Anyway that's my weird theory about the last episode. Guess we'll find out in like 2 years if l'm right or not.

TLDR: The ending of the last episode was weird and I think that either Natsume wrote in the book to help the agency or Teruko wrote on the other side of the page to bring Fukuchi back and that's why everything went to shit.

I met a Nikolai cosplayer today at a convention and they already had a severed arm as a prop??? BSD fans are insane (she said, not at all self aware)

[inkinthetypewriter]

guys bsd episode 11 is called twilight goodbye bc they’re finally saying goodbye to all the vampires like bones couldn’t have made it any more clear

[dyanthas]

NOW I SEE WHY BONES ANIMATED SCENES WHICH ARE NOT EVEN IN THE MANGA...

This was maybe the first where anime was done BEFORE the manga came out..

But that doesn't matter AT ALL.BEACUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT Kafka Asagiri wanted!!!!!!!!!

Don't you all see???? Before Every episode of the anime we already know what it will be shown. We are all just Insisting that let Bones NOT exclude this part, that part was not done properly, and so on. But we are Never savouring the anime in its own way.

This episode is EXACTLY What we needed!!!

To have our expectations, our fears, our emotions, all exposed at every turns in the anime; savouring the story in its true essence.

I was even afraid to watch what it will turn out to be. Stopped before Dazai could make an entrance (where Fyodor was thinking was about him). My heart was no longer agreeing with me. Was toooo tooooo afraid I might be disappointed.

But that doesn't matter, does it? Because we all saw the episode Without presuming anything.

That was what Kafka Asagiri wanted.

That is why he had sooo small chapters of the manga... So that Everything could lead to this... So that we can see the conclusion all together - WITHOUT any influence, penting up our expectations to the fullest!

And Sorry Bones for blaming you for the many diversions from the manga. You are truly.... Sugoi, Subarishii, all !!!

Saluté to Asagiri-san 🫡 You are beyond my imaginations- beyond everything!!

ok yes episode 11 was an absolute whirlwind but especially after seeing how dazai outsmarted FYODOR, i feel like mori is gonna be more likely to choose him to come back to the pm. also the fact that it was the double black that ended up defeating him like no way moris gonna see that and opt out.

[doctors-tardis221b]

Chuuya consciously shooting Dazai right the moment his speech got emotional is just such a Soukoku thing. These damn lovable idiots...

[grimeye-j]

[nikolaiismysugardaddy]

The way he held Fyodor’s remaining hand was just too heartwrecking

[bibiblocksberg1234]

This has SO many implications..Does Mori happen to have a stash of fake vampire teeth lying around? Did he stock up when the vampires popped up?? Is this what he has been doing the past episodes?? Walking into cosplay shops and buying vampire teeth?? Also, imagining Mori supergluing vampire teeth on Chuuya is way too funny

[thepiratearcinhamlet]

As someone who didn't want Bones to animate unreleased content, I recant, I repent, I apologize to everyone who heard me complain.

EPISODE ELEVEN WAS pretty much EVERYTHING I'VE WANTED FOR A VERY LONG TIME!!!

Highlights:

Dazai's funky little giggles. This man is so SKRUNKLY even while he has a broken ass and a broken leg and who knows how many other injuries. I love him <33 (I bet his funky little cast thing was made by Chuuya. Now I need Dazai with a cane.)

CHUUYA WAS NEVER A VAMPIRE? This just went from tragic to HYSTERICAL. You're telling me this little guy who isn't as good at lying as other characters managed to lie to FYODOR OF ALL PEOPLE and put on the best acting job of the CENTURY, all the while wearing cosplayer contacts and fake vampire teeth, superglued by Mori??

Nikolai's conflicted and gay little monologue whilenhllding Fyodor's severed hand. Need I say more.

BRAM! HAS! A BODY! AND HE IS AYA'S KNIGHT?! LET'S FRICKING GOOOOOOOOO (Now I need him to forcibly adopt her and take her away from her pathetic excuse of a father <33)

TERUKO GOT TO KILL FUKUCHI!!! My friend freaking called this a long time ago and it was So. Incredibly. Satisfying. Just yes.

Fukuzawa's tortured screams. Fukuzawa not being subjected to the "old man mentor must die" troupe. Fukuzawa slowly dying inside as he listens to Fukuchi's fricked up plan. Fukuzawa unable to kill him. Fukuzawa needs SEVERAL HUGS-

KUNIKIDAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!! (that is all <33)

Also who knows what the frick is happening in the last 50 seconds of the anime, but Akutagawa in his Detective coat from the BSD Mayoi game, a neck scarf, and a knight?? helmet?? is honestly such a slay, I ain't even mad.

TINY CLIP OF TECCHOU AND KENJI!! THE NEW BESTIES!!!

Bravo. I'm content. Now I can finally enjoy this arc in peace, knowing they ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER (except for the OP villains. Goodbye, and good riddance. RIP to the Fyolai fans.)

[mackerel22]

Chuuya: Hey...uh...mackerel...I have something to tell you.

Dazai: Hmm? Yes?

Chuuya: I like guys.

Dazai: *gasps* I knew it!!!

Dazai: So who's the lucky man?

Chuuya: He works in the ada, he used to be in the port mafia, an ability user, funny, good with coming up with plans...and well he can be a big fucking idiot sometimes.

Dazai: Oh- he sounds kinda lame...

Chuuya:

Chuuya: Did I mention idiot?

[ahugenerdynerd]

Ok but like

where’s Yosano

[sorcerersandskillusers]

EVERYONE WAS WRONG! AGAIN!!!

I can't believe Asagiri keeps getting away with this shit, he fooled the entire fandom AGAIN. (Including me)

70% of the prediction i saw were that this episode was going to be all about skk, it references works by both Dazai and Chuuya in the title and of course the entire fandom is on a skk war path rn. Almost all the other theories I saw were that it would be a full Bram backstory and revival with twillight being connected to vampires (not the books the time of day)

Now i did think very briefly that Twilight fairwell could be about Fukuzawa since the ADA are considered the gardens of the Twilight in the three part framework, but i thought this was really unlikely and i thought if it happened it would be Ranpo saying goodbye to Fukuzawa.

But of course Asagiri had to pull the rug out from under us and make it something no one predicted.

[chuuya-fan-page]

Bsdtt will never hesitate to just make me sigh. Saw someone say "chuuya is dazai's ex partner, accept it"

Bromie, you should tell that to Dazai. Tell him that he's only been partners with Chuuya for 3 years and not 7, that'll make him throw a tantrum like a toddler.

-A

[rlherondale]

Dazai's speech being an act is like Kafka Asagiri oversharing to us all and then try to make it up by going 'lol just kidding'

But honestly tho, i feel like that speech maybe probably wasn't fake. Cause, we all know dazai isn't exactly an open person so the fact that they were acting is the reason dazai was able to say those words and mean it. If it were an actual situation he probably wouldn't have been able to say anything like that. It was the fact that he could say anything, pour his whole heart out even, and chuuya would just think he was acting, which makes him feel sort of safe to say anything he wanted to. Besides, i could just picture that nasty man laughing like a devil at the fact that chuuya is gonna walk away from the prison, wondering if dazai meant all the words he said or if it was pure acting
