Corrections On A Few Things From @emonemogoblin

Ango: *filming*

Dazai:

Oda:

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.

Very similar frames

Their hair is the same shape btw

They’re so cheeky

my response to 121.5

Their hair is the same shape btw

Chuuya’s outfit makes me think so many thoughts. (Not that way, you dirty bastards.)

First of all. The way the colours slowly get darker with each layer, signifying that underneath it all, he’s got a pure heart. Good intent. But tries to keep it hidden, probably for self preservation reasons.

The neck cross shows how guarded he is.

The collar is to show his loyalty, just like a dog…

The gloves, while also having a physical purpose, symbolise his need to separate himself with the blood on his hands. It barely ever reaches his hands so he tells himself it’s alright.

And the hat, definitely for height purposes. I don’t have another reason for the hat, but google says possibly for status. If so, it’s probably another self preservation attempt.

Might be stupid because Oda literally says that a man gave him a “very rare book”.

It’s obviously his story or something to do with him

What if “The Book” is Oda’s story? / Oda = God? (BSD Theory)

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.

Update: I know it’s to indicate HOW they are speaking. Like the tone. Because it changes.

But primarily, Chuuya speaks more sharply and Dazai more emotionless and the monotone.

And I still think it’s cool.
