"Stop-" Villain panted, "It-It doesn't have to end like this-"

"Oh sweet, naive little Villain, you think I don't want to do this?"

Villain glared hard at the so-called hero before growling, "I know you don't. I know that deep down somewhere, the Hero that I knew several weeks ago is still there!"

Villain's voice was growing even more desperate as seconds passed. Hero barked out a laugh, stepping forward and causing the cold metal of the gun to press against the villain's forehead;

"Remember, darling, the city prefers the hero over the villain." "Yes, but you are no hero." "Oh? And you are?" "I'm more of one than you are."

Hero's lips curved into a smirk as their head tilted to the side, "I'm sure your sidekick has something to say against that..."

Villain's heart lurched in their chest as teras instantly brimmed their eyes, "You take that back!!!!"

Hero's smirk grew wider, "It's the truth, no?"

"No, you know it isn't. That day- what happened with them, it was a mistake... not my fault." Villain's throat bobbed painfully with the lump in their throat before their eyes hardened, glaring up at Hero, "You're a coward. You used to be so timid and shy, but now..." Villain huffed a laugh, shaking their head, "Now you're a fame-chasing coward who can't even-"

Villain was quickly cut off as the pistol connected with their cheekbone, sending their head flying to the side. They let out a cry, their hand flying up to cradle their wound.

"I think that's enough chitter-chatter for now," Hero's false joyful voice practically bled into Villain's ears; "Henchman, set up the cameras for me. Let's show the city who Villain really is."

can we just talk about how kenji has one of the Most tragic abilities in bungou stray dogs??? like. the more i think about it, the more heartbreaking it is.

he's fourteen years old and has an ability people would die/kill for. in s3, chuuya called kenji the ada's "trump card", so it's safe to assume the rest of the port mafia thinks the same way. he is immune to literal bullets, to being whacked in the head by hard metal or pretty much anything, he can easily lift cars above his head as if they were nothing,,,

but only if he's hungry.

if you ignore that last bit, kenji has one of the best powers in the show. and like he still does, but my God. he's fourteen years old. he doesn't think his ability is all that impressive. he doesn't see the issues.

since he has a job, he probably doesn't Really eat lunch, and if he does, it's snacks. but also his job is a part of the armed detective agency. therefore, things happen all the time. who knows how long cases will run, who knows when someone will try to destroy yokohama or the agency or whatever. there's been many times when it's been clear that they've had to work into the night. then we have to ask: does kenji eat dinner? no. probably not. and if he does, he probably just eats a piece of fruit or something small. that way, he doesn't lose his ability. he is the agency's trump card, after all. and he knows how important his power is. i mean, that's one of the reasons he joined ranpo and the others when they went against fukuzawa's orders in s3. it's not explicitly stated, but i'd argue that it's implied. anyways. does kenji eat breakfast? well, i don't think so. why? he sleeps when he eats. why sleep so soon after he just woke up? he has to go to work, anyways. so he can't fall asleep.

so, we've basically established that kenji probably has an extremely unhealthy eating schedule due to his ability. but also,,, what about his sleeping schedule? what kind of relationship does he have with sleep? so, let's say he eats a full meal three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. let's say how long he sleeps depends on how much he ate... so let's say that a small snack is no sleep since it's barely anything, just maybe makes him a little physically weaker. and a normal meal is at least an hour. that's at least three hours of sporadic sleep during the day - one of them shortly after he wakes up. but you know what makes that even sadder? what if kenji doesn't sleep at night because of his ability. or, sleep consistently or well? we can assume the agency actually really wants kenji to eat, even if he falls asleep, so on days when he can't get away with not really eating, he sleeps during the day for an unspecified amount of time. his sleep schedule would get so thrown off. also, he was raised on a farm, so we can assume he wakes up really early anyways. maybe early enough to say that there isn't any reason to sleep because he would wake up soon normally anyways.

and... what if kenji can't sleep without eating? what if kenji has to eat to sleep? maybe it wasn't that way when he was younger, but the older he got, the more his body grew to rely on his ability's exception. like... that's just... really sad. this kid is fourteen.

and think about it. the agency is best friends because they are. they'd probably like to go out to lunch or dinner together. i bet half the time at least, kenji wouldn't eat. why? because he'd fall asleep. wouldn't want to ruin the fun. because then they'd have to watch their volume around him or try to wake him up (and i hc that it's really hard to wake him up for like... the first ten minutes after a meal at least - it gets easier the longer he's been asleep or the less he eats). and what if they can't wake him up? then someone would have to carry him back and that's so kind of them but, well, they didn't have to and now kenji feels like a liability or a burden. like he ruined all the fun.

and he works with the armed detective agency. they've got a lot of enemies. he is the trump card. the physically strongest on the team. also the most naive and, objectively, the kindest. oh and one of the two youngest. can you imagine how vulnerable he is when he sleeps? i would imagine the agency wouldn't want him to eat by himself in public for, you know, safety reasons. and that even includes the cafe downstairs. who knows what could happen if kenji fell asleep on his own? and that's probably why he went to eat with atsushi in s1 ep11: he was with atsushi so he could eat out. one of those rare chances. and if an enemy did get to him while he was asleep, he'd be pretty easy to keep out of it: just keep forcing him to eat. shove food in his mouth, force him to swallow. and there you are: you have the armed detective agency's trump card. and kenji knows this.

and the sad thing is? kenji probably doesn't even realize he's having problems. he probably thinks this is normal. something he just has to deal with - and i don't say that in a negative or self-loathing kind of way. a genuine "it's always been like this; i know nothing else" kind of way. he wants to help people: that's why he came to the agency. he couldn't handle not being able to help everyone back home. he needs to be useful, to help. he grew up on a farm: he values hard work a lot - that much is obvious. he feels like he can't help if he eats consistently. he's probably (albeit subconsciously, unknowingly) scared of what would happen if he did eat and sleep consistently. that means he's not useful, right? that means someone will get hurt because of him. he'd rather starve than someone else get hurt. he was given this ability, he has to use it to help people.

tldr: kenji's ability is so interesting and underutilized in the the manga/anime and in the fandom and is so overlooked in angst potential. his ability most likely has ruined his eating and sleeping schedule to the point where he doesn't know anything different and genuinely thinks it's healthy because it's what he's always done, it's what he was blessed with, right? kenji deserves more love in canon and by the fandom <3

I just finished reading Prefacio of Blue and I really love the connection of last chapter to epilogue - with both Mikina and Gallerian falling into greed while wishing just the best for their families. Also I don't know If that was accidental but I checked Mikina's birth year - 473 EC and then the epilogue is happening 473 years later which is a very cool detail. I mean the more I read the more I see how mothy is the master of small details or foreshadowings that tie everything together - for example Elluka's lil crush on Keel cause he resembles Kiril and also dislike for Mikina cause she looks like Milky, the whole Ney thing ( I regret that I spoiled myself her lore before so much), the fact that there's a place called hall of MIRRORS, and there's also a secret passage under the fireplace (hansel and gretel reference), germaine & running away which maybe is a stretch but reminds me of both Meta and also Carlos - and ofc her Banica's resemblance. Also the last line of Epilogue, mothy you madman!
