Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
(already warn ya)
Damn so like its just...im thinking what if ya'know what if atsushi having all this hallucinations or this imaginary visions was because byakko was actually talking to him?? I may be crazy but you know??? Like??? There is a possibility because she can't actually talk to him so instead she talks to him like this in the form of people he trust or in the case of the headmaster well its more like hes psychology damage fucked up a little bit you know? Or well since he(/the tiger) is the bookmark, as fyodor said, the book is like somehow talking to him?? Because you know its been mark in the middle page (like some theory out there that said 'the book' was actually the bsd book) and that since its been like monthly release its been pause?? And to pause is we need book marks! thats where the tiger or atsushi shows up! And idk its just shows him some pointer or some leads that heads to his desired(?) ending???
Or well could be his just hallucination. Idk i could be wrong(most probably)
Give me your opinions too!šš what do you think this panel could mean?
(its just me posting for the First time and started yapping when im supposed to be asleep its 5 in the morning and sick! Yay me)
And i can't wait till next month. I have exams coming up!š

oh ok so we are actually going to acknowledge the Dazai phantom in the room I just thought we we'd let him chill and grant him residency didn't think we'd start to ask questions like why. Why has Atsushi been hallucinating a man this whole time.
Wise words my brother said about the new chapter:
"Atsushi, stop hallucinating and save the emo vampire from the yapper rat"
Probably the summary of the last three chapters.
So, you're telling me that I waited two months just to have to see the damn rat traumatizing more the poor sushi?
CHAT HEAR ME OUT
imagine a fyolai art: fyodor behind nikolai (to make it easier let's imagine kolya sitting and fedya standing behind him). Fyodor is holding Nikolai's eyepatch thing (? I forgot what its called) which is broken in half, while Nikolai holds Fyodor's arms
what tf does this mean, you may ask. well!
(ch 121 spoilers) we saw fyodor tear the page, but there is a popular theory that it wasn't actually the book page, so we can say that the act was a farce. when we see fyodor doing the same here, its showing how nikolai's attempt at freedom (by killing fyodor back in Meursalt) was nothing but a farce (planned out by fyodor).
now, why would Nikolai be holding Fyodor's arms, you may ask. well, I imagine kolya holding them in the way a prisoner holds the bars to their cage. this is pretty self explanatory with reference to the fyolai dynamic
so I imagine fyodor serving face and Nikolai looking... Well. Uneasy. His eyepatch, which he used as an on switch for his fake persona, is broken; so showing himself in his entirety would be odd to him naturally.
someone draw this I'm actually going crazy rn. I was gonna but I gotta sleep and ain't no way I'll have motivation in the morning (also soz for the irregular punctuation I'm like half asleep i think)
"Mama I'm chasing a ghost, I don't know who he is.
Mama I'm chasing a ghost, do I look like him?"
LUCY AND KYOUKA MENTION!!!
After everything that happened in this arc, I think we can all agree that Fyodor is the BIGGEST Atsushi hater of all time
Everyone is talking about the parallels between this new chapter of BSD (Chapter 121) and BSD Beast.
Before in the last few chapters (Chapters 115 - 120.5) were compared to the BSD Novel āSTROMBRINGERāā specifically of how both Atsushi and Chuuya had lost close members that they considered friends and family to a power Ability Users that knows way more about them then they know themselves and wants them to themselves for reason yet to be known.
But now in this current chapter though, it parallels to the BEAST universe with Atsushi and fear.
Here we have āHallucination Dazai(?)ā talk to Atsushi about how he never needed to be ābraveā or āstrongā to get stuff done or fight what he fears.
The chapter talks about fight fire with fireā or in this case fear with fear as āHallucination Dazai(?)ā directs Atsushiās attention away from how scared he is to fight Ame No Gozen to save Akutagawa because it was way he had lost a great portion of his friends/familyāto the now fear losing whatever now remains of his family and friends with Lucy and Kyouka still waiting for him in the āAnne Roomā.
This fear turns into motivation that makes him keep fighting.
Somewhat similarly, this is also seen in BSD BEAST of how BEAST!Atsushi used his fear of pain, suffering and specifically Death to become the Port Mafiaās White Reaper.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is just my thoughts so feel free to just skip this, but I find it interesting that this is not the first time something like this happened. Every time we saw āHallucination Dazaiā previous it said the same if not similar things to Atsushi.
I get that it's in his head, that's what a hallucination is, and he has the same thing with The Orphanage Headmaster, and I know it takes Dazai form to guild Atsushi and thatās itās a hallucination in his mind so that it shouldnāt mean so much. But after seeing the end of this chapter I'm wondering how this will go out.
Like all I want to see now are some answers to Atsushi āWho you really areā like my guy... what do you mean!!! Is this a hallucination or something else? Is it Atsushiās Bookmark powers telling him what to do and stuff, is it Atsushi connecting to the Book with how much it reflects to the world of BSD!Beast or is it Atsushiās tiger powers/Byakko talking to him.
I say this because Atsushi had referred to know what this āhallucinationā really is meaning that itās not what we originally thought it was/thatās itās not really a hallucination of Dazai but something else entirely.
Or
Is it Atsushi finally understanding what Dazai had been teaching, what he is telling him, this whole time and discoing/realizing who he really is.
Looking into himself in the picture he made of Dazai to help him keep fight to finally understand that he has a right to live, that he doesn't need to be brave to fight-- that he always been able/has been doing this and that he should stop now because some rat drew some pictures and ripped some paper.
Having that anime protagonist moments of self-discovery and finding the will to keep fighting.
Guess we just have to wait and see. Next Chapter is coming next month, and I can't wait for what happens next!

On another note, it's a very funny coincidence that when I went to the library the only BSD Novels there were that day were BSD! BEAST & BSD! STROMBRINGER-- both of which i took with me and am now reading! What a coincidence!!
