[ID: a digital redraw of the scene where chuuya shoots dazai in the shoulder. on the top of the drawing is chuuya holding a guy to dazai's head in the red and grey hallways of the prison. on the bottom of the drawing is dazai's pained face. the gunshot is shown stylistically as hectic lines behind his bloody shoulder. over the image is half a quote from goncharov that reads 'if we really were in love you wouldn't have missed.' the signature says dandelion-roots. end ID]
This quote from Goncharov (1973) in relation to soukoku has been haunting me from before I even got to that scene in the anime (the full thing is: Katya- Of course we're in love, that's why I tried to shoot you/ Goncharov- If we really were in love you wouldn't have missed). Violence as a tool for communicating emotions, especially love and hatred, especially love and hatred makes me go feral- how could I not think of the iconic quote that says that katya's miss was a sign of a lack of love/a fake love when chuuya didn't miss? Just... losing it over here.

!!BSD BEAST SPOILERS!!
"Chuuya-san, this is a government prison"
"I heard that three counter-skill units of the military were blown up in order to restrain you, who was rampaging uncontrollably"
"What happened?"
-
"I was in a little bit of a bad mood"
-
"... Was it because Dazai-san died?"
(I hope this is the right translation 😭)
(I'm not completely sure what he was wearing in this scene so I had to improvise)

Thank you for the long post! That really helped!
I’ve actually bought a few of the LN (including Fifteen and Stormbringer) but I’ve been trying to read the main manga first so I haven’t gotten to them yet or watched anything more than clips from the anime (I’m borrowing the manga from the library and there’s someone else reading it too who always has the next volume when I need it, so I’m still waiting on vol 4).
Though I’ve never been too fussed about spoilers because even knowing what’s happening beforehand hit different when you have the full context of reading it.
Anyway, thanks again for the explanation of Chuuya’s ability! Btw, I heard that while the gravity manipulation is the result of what the scientist did to him (in forming that self-contradictory skill you mentioned), his skill’s original form was amplification? Or something like that? I was wondering if that was true because like…
Wow he and Dazai would really be matching even more.
You're my hero for reading the manga first, and also for picking Chuuya as your favourite with literally one chapter content of him. Do be careful of his characterization in fics, since new info on him comes out with huge gaps often measured in years between, interpretations vary a lot. Do have fun though! There are some real gems out there, both old and new.
About Chuuya's original ability: there is no hard confirmation on what it is. However! When explaining what a singularity is, how it happens, and how to create one with a self-referencing ability (a single ability interacting with itself on loop), a real example is "randomly" given, with a young boy being capable of amplifying others' abilities, and then using that ability on himself, creating a massive amount of energy and forming what is essentially a black hole in which he supposedly "vanished".
That "real-life example" also came with video footage which is described in detail. That child is out of frame, his identity hidden, but he is holding a coin with a fox and the moon engraved on it, and recites a passage from Nakahara Chuuya's poetry.
So no absolute confirmation, but the themes and hints are all there... and what would be the point of presenting us this child with this specific ability while using these specific words if they were not important?

Not that anyone cares, but, about Dazai and sh
In the BSD game there is nothing beneath Dazai's bandages, but thats bones and at this point I don't trust this studio
I believe this could be as much for aesthetics as there really must be scars, he is suicidal and has worked in the mafia, he certainly knows the vital points of a wrist, etc
In the case of his neck, I believe there were just bruises from times he may have tried to hang himself, in recent chapters - at least in the anime, from what I've seen - there's nothing on his neck
I already said about his arms, as shown in the manga and anime, he is concentrated where there must be vital points, like suicidal, he must have tried something

“suspect is armed and dangerous.”
“with what? i gave you my sword.” Atsushi cried in desperation as he held up his hands, slightly curling them into fists as amenogozen drew closer.
“you’re really treating me like one of your targets?” Atsushi pressed on, “Like the enemy!?”
“Among other things.”
