"Oh, the abuse cycle in bsd–"
Yes, let's talk about the abuse cycle in Bsd. Let's talk about what people don't seem to mention, ever.
Mori. Dazai. Akutagawa. Kyouka.
Though nothing is certain about what the relationship between Mori and Dazai was really like, there is a clear difference between these relationships.
Mori is appreciative of Dazai. Much as he is scared of him, Mori would take Dazai back to the Mafia in a heartbeat. From the flashbacks, we could see that Dazai and Mori had relatively easy talks, Mori confided in him, was always honest, and 15 year old Dazai seemed to talk freely with him. The abuse is, far as we know, emotional manipulation on a great scale.
Akutagawa was probably violent with Kyouka, just as Dazai was with him, though I suppose at a lesser scale (i don't think he ever shot bullets at her, for example). One thing that we do notice, though, is that Akutagawa never talks down to her? He acknowledged her strength and gave her the same reason to live that he believed in himself. Then, he also acknowledges her growth, is actually happy for her happiness, and in Dead Apple, even suggests for her to kill him when he's at his weakest. There's also a lack of emotional dependence— unlike his own case, Akutagawa did not mold her to depend on his approval. And when she sees him, she has a less severe reaction than she did when she saw Mori, for example.
And then, you have Akutagawa and Dazai. And this is what really pisses me off. Because not only is Dazai both emotionally and physically abusive to Akutagawa, he continues to keep his hold on Akutagawa even after he has become a "good guy." He keeps Akutagawa tethered to him, manipulates him in dangerous situations Akutagawa has no business being in, and purposely plays into the boy's trauma bond to him to use him. All while giving everything to a random orphan he met on the streets that - objectively speaking - is no better than Akutagawa?
This is my personal view on their relationships, and I haven't read any light novels but Beast, so there might be information I'm missing.
But no amount of context can change the fact - and I mean fact - that Dazai had absolutely zero excuse to do what he did to Akutagawa. While in the Mafia or after it. Because the guy with an IQ of a billion, who was himself saved and shown kindness by another in his darkest times should have fucking known better.

I feel like the song "Meet the Plastics" could work well with BSD.
Mori as Regina
Dazai as Gretchen
Elise as Karen (maybe)
Akutagawa as Cady
Yosano as Janis
Chuuya as Damian

Mori calls Chuuya into his office
Mori: Chuuya-kun I have a very special mission for you
Chuuya: *mildly annoyed* yes sir what is it?
Mori: well you know how much your ability has helped us in the past and how amazing of an asset you are to the Mafia…
Chuuya: what bullshit do I need to save Dazai from now?

Okay but the fact that Dazai, Chuuya, Mori and Ango are all embroiled in this prison break planning arc is so funny to me. There must have been meetings. Ango has to confront Mori, who he betrayed (who took a vow not to kill him), Chuuya, a fastidiously loyal member of the organisation he betrayed, and the indirect reason that his partner fucked off for a semi redemption arc (going from calamitous threat to major nuisance) who probably also wants to kill him, and Dazai, who is Dazai. Ango doesn't know where they stand but it isn't here, that's for damn sure.
It's like the worst school play ever. Mori is on make up. Ango is tech support. Soukoku are having a showmance and it's probably their version of foreplay. Chuuya and Dazai are one upping each other with embarrassing bets. 'I dare you to do a screech like a dying washing machine with a cat inside' 'BITCH- fine but only if you play rock paper scissors and explain how you win every time'. Nobody wants to be here. This seems worse than the apocalypse they're trying to prevent.

asagiri what did you mean when you had mori say dazai reminded him of himself right after dazai talked extensively abt how mori shouldve let him kill himself after he took over the PM. what did you mean by that.
why did you have a whole scene of mori miserably folding the gifted business permit into a paper airplane and tossing it off his desk after dazai left at the end of dark era.
why did you have mori look so crushed when dazai said he burned the coat he gave him in the guild war arc. dont run away i just wanna talk
more importantly. asagiri why do fukuzawa and mori still have each others phone numbers saved. how frequently do they talk to each other.
why was their first instinct upon seeing each other in dead apple to help the other defeat their ability bc they knew they couldnt do it on their own bc they knew they had what the other one was missing that was necessary to do it. more importantly how did they realize that so quickly.
what did you mean when you let harukawa draw mori like that in the cannibalism scene where hes standing over fukuzawa about to kill him saying "what a shame" why does he look so devastated. asagiri. ASAGIRI OPEN UP
