There's a pattern in bsd of two climaxes: the first, which is resolved by either Chuuya or Kunikida and Dazai, and the second, which is (i) more thematically comprehensive and (ii) resolved by Akutagawa and Atsushi. For examples, see: 55 Minutes, the Guild arc, Dead Apple, and the Cannibalism arc.

The most recent chapter and the anime s5 finale both indicate this arc's climax is following that same pattern, so I'm bewildered by the seeming presumption that Dazai is going to have to "fix" what's happened or that Atsushi is a placeholder until Dazai can reach them from France.
