Just reading Fifteen right now, and I love the way you can tell who’s talking by the shape of the speech bubbles.
And how they’re being said.
Chuuya’s are sharp and ridged.
Whereas, Dazai’s are monotonously the same soft, calm shape every time he talks.
I’m rewatching the start of Season 2 and haven’t read the manga (yet, I’m working on it). But here’s just a random thought.
I’ll add my evidence later, ig.
I do remember Dazai laughing maniacally at Fyodor talking about God and then saying “you don’t actually know anything about God, do you?”
And before that, in the second season, a lot of people, including Dazai, hold Oda as one of the most powerful people they know, but we aren’t exactly shown why apart from him being virtuous (but that’s not why, because Dazai tries to talk him into and trick him into killing. Which also ties in with Dazai possibly being Satan/Judas because that’s also repeated a million times and y’know the devil tempts the good bla bla)
Theres a lot more I could add, I just need to gather my thoughts.
Thinking aloud here;
This isn’t me saying you shouldn’t ship soukoku (or literally any other ship) because idc do what you want. There’s nothing wrong with shipping.
But I think everyone should forget about the romantics and just acknowledge the bond characters like Dazai and Chuuya have, without boiling it down to romantic (or sexual) attraction to one another.
Just for yourself to think about.
Regardless of what anyone else’s opinion is.
I just find that aspect kind of beautiful in itself.
And I think more people should recognise that as well.
everyday I'm haunted by asagiri saying that there's a universe where chuuya left the mafia with dazai and they joined the ada together,,,,,,,,, chuuya would have left with him if he had asked,,,,,, I'm gonna puke,,,,, dazai who didn't ask bc after all chuuya's more loyal than anyone to those he loves and sees the mafia as his family the whole time not realizing that HE is a big part of that,,,,,,,,, chuuya thinking that dazai didn't even tell him he was leaving bc he didn't care about him,,,,,,,,,,,,, they make me sick
My novels have ARRIVED.
This implies that there was a specific number of times he was supposed to get punched.
Very Kunikida-esque behaviour.

Ango: *filming*
Dazai:
Oda:
It’s the male version of Kakegurui
They’re so cheeky
