During The Cleanup Of Chuuya And Verlaine’s Fight, Dazai Finds Out There Was Another Clone In Facility

Chapter 5 of Singularities has been posted! Hope you enjoy!

Exerpt:

Chuuya passed the guards stationed in front of the Boss’s office and closed the doors behind him. “You wanted to see me, Boss?”

Mori looked up from some paperwork. “Chuuya, I hear your recovery’s gone well?”

He rubbed the bandages still around his wrists. Even with Chuuya being a ridiculously fast healer, the wounds from the stakes and barbwire were going to take a while to fully go away. “Yeah, minus the migraine from Dazai constantly bothering me.”

Mori smirked. “I must admit, that was partly my doing. I asked him to check in on you for me.”

Chuuya sighed. “I appreciate the concern, Boss. But you really could’ve sent literally anyone else.”

He shrugged and put out a hand. “May I have a look?”

Chuuya stepped around Elise and the creepy doodle she was working on and gave him his wrist. The ex‑doctor unwrapped the bandage and examined the healing wound. It was clinical in a way that made Chuuya’s skin crawl for a reason he didn’t fully understand.

“Hmm, you are an extraordinarily fast healer, even for an ability user. And judging by your progress, you may not even have scars from this.” Mori fastened the bandage back in place. “Fascinating.”

Hypothetically, if Fyodor took over Chuuya’s body, would Arahabaki go nuclear? It's implied in Stormbringer that Arahabaki is only dormant because his vessel is Chuuya specifically. And we know Chuuya only has some access to Arahabaki’s power since he doesn't have the black flames or turn into a monster like Verlaine did with Guivre. So, would Fyodor be able to restrain the god? Or would he instantly go into corruption mode?

On that note, would he be able to take over Lovecraft since it's implied he's not human and even Dazai couldn't nullify him?

Anytime I see the bsd beach art my first thought is RIP to the redheads. Chuuya and Jun’ichirou would be sooo burnt (I give Atsushi a 50/50 chance on burning or actually tanning considering white hair generally means less melanin but not always). I don't care how much sunscreen is used, I've never met a natual redhead that didn't burn after 5 minutes in direct sunlight regardless of precautions. And we fully know Dazai would use that fact against Chuuya for shenanigans. 🤣🤣🤣

Bram: I finally have my body back!

Fyodor:

Neil is the epitome of that "god has let me live another day and I'm about to make it everybody's problem" meme.

Blue Thryssa after the events of Season 3: Are you fucking kidding me?! Seriously?! Anything else?!

Alternatively: Welcome to our monthly meet-up. Looks like we have some new fucking members.

Bungou Stray Dogs, where 90% of the cast are cat people. 🤣🤣🤣

If Chuuya had his original ability to strengthen anyone else's ability by touching them, I wonder if his and Dazai’s abilities would cancel out on contact (making Dazai vulnerable to others abilities and Chuuya unable to strengthen abilities) or if it would cause a singularity by making a constant feedback loop. It's a very unstoppable meets immovable object scenario.

So, I've seen some panels from the new BSD chapter (I haven't read it yet so I may be jumping the gun) and there's a minor plot hole that's been bothering me.

Dazai says that he made his plan on the assumption Fyodor's ability was based on touch which is why he concocted the whole helicopter crash to kill him. But, my guy, you got an ability that shuts off other abilities. You are immune to any side-effects and Fyodor can't use his ability (known or unknown/consciouslyor unconsciously) with you touching him. If you wanted to guarantee his death just choke a bitch out. You got a body count that would make most serial killers blush and you already planned to kill him. So why was that not Plan A?

I know this can be hand waved away a few different ways; Dazai figured Fyodor would've planned for that, Dazai isn't used to using his ability in an offensive way like that, Chuuya suggested it so Dazai said that wouldn't work just to spite him. It's not a major issue, but I wanted to see what other people think. Does anyone else think that's a plan that could have worked?

As a writer I know why the author didn't go with it and its fine that they didn't. But I still want to hear everyone's thoughts.

@radiant-7 No historical proof?! Yasuke was a real living, breathing person! He was alive in the 1500s and is famously the first Black samurai! A literal five second Google search will tell you that. How can you have a problem with the creators being historically accurate with what he is most famous for?

Yasuke (Assassin's Creed Shadows)

See, with all the antiblack racism we've been put through over this man's sheer existence, is proof enough that he's excellent Black character design. Everyone rise and give Yasuke a standing ovation right NEOW-
