thinking about 109 + yesterday's episode and Dazai cussing at Chuuya is kinda funny bc he rarely cusses. like he’s been shot and stabbed before and never uttered a fuck....imagine if this actually IS all his plan but Chuuya wasn’t supposed to shoot him like that but he’d never used a gun before so his aim is terrible 😭
like if you think about how chill he was when Chuuya pointed the gun at him initially (and even after when it was held to his head) it’s like. did you think he WOULDN’T shoot you or did you already plan that he would but just. not in the way he did.
(going with the scenario that this is all Dazai’s plan I can just imagine them bickering afterwards like:)
Dazai: you were just supposed to GRAZE my shoulder with the bullet?!
Chuuya: i'm sorry. my bad fr
Dazai: and you were standing A FOOT AWAY
Chuuya: IT’S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS
Dazai: how did you miss THAT BADLY at THAT CLOSE OF A DISTANCE?
Chuuya: technically I didn’t miss bc I got your shoulder. in any other situation that would’ve been a 10/10 hit. my first time using a firearm too
Dazai: …
Chuuya: but my bad fr
What the anime did to Dazai's Entrance Exam was just awful in general, but the worst part of it for me, was the fact I didn't know it was supposed to be a light novel adaption in my first watch of BSD.
I thought it was setting up a whole arc with Kunikida, I thought the Azure King was gonna come back and play some sort of role going forward. I was excited for this and then got NOTHING!
Dazai, Atsushi, Fukuzawa, Ranpo all get enemies/nemeses to have messy homoerotic energy with.
I just noticed. Ranpo has tears marks after he came out of Fukuzawa's room at the beggining of the the Cannibalism arc. He cried at Fukuzawa's bedside. Bye 😭
The bsd author realizing too late they've missed their chance during the cannibalism arc of making Akutagawa be cured from the disease via true love's kiss so to make up for it they've finally resolved around making Akutagawa be cured from the vampirism via true love's kiss. A wise choice I must say
On my previous note, how did they get Kunikida out of jail after Cannibalism? Ranpo set out to prove Kunikida’s innocence with that young girl’s grenade necklace and ended up solving a whole other string of murders. He didnt even manage to explain Mushi’s ability to the police, Mushitarou was kidnapped.
I imagine Ranpo just threw those shoes at Kunikida at the end of Perfect Crime and told him to fucking get a hold of himself. Either that, or the full Agency rocked up to the jail Port Mafia style, dragged Kuni out and told the police to fuck off
