warning spoilers for chapter 118 bsd
"KENJI IS ALIVE!!!" i say as they drag me away to the mental asylum
i still find it so funny that they literally had to have kenji tell us that "IT'S OKAY IT'S OKAY EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE" because of how depressing the situation was
pretending bsd chapter 118 didnt completely destroy me🎀
what does kenji think of tax evasion
He loves evading taxes
They're so cute together 🥺
Be not defeated by the rain, Nor let the wind prove your better.
Succumb not to the snows of winter. Nor be bested by the heat of summer.
Be strong in body. Unfettered by desire. Not enticed to anger. Cultivate a quiet joy.
Count yourself last in everything. Put others before you.
Watch well and listen closely. Hold the learned lessons dear.
A thatch-roof house, in a meadow, nestled in a pine grove's shade.
A handful of rice, some miso, and a few vegetables to suffice for the day.
If, to the East, a child lies sick: Go forth and nurse him to health.
If, to the West, an old lady stands exhausted: Go forth, and relieve her of burden.
If, to the South, a man lies dying: Go forth with words of courage to dispel his fear.
If, to the North, an argument or fight ensues:
Go forth and beg them stop such a waste of effort and of spirit.
In times of drought, shed tears of sympathy.
In summers cold, walk in concern and empathy.
Stand aloof of the unknowing masses:
Better dismissed as useless than flattered as a "Great Man".
This is my goal, the person I strive to become.
Written by Miyazawa Kenji, on his deathbed, this poem serves as a reflection of the person that he hoped he was.
just making pfps for me and my sibling with our favorite BSD characters as what if they interacted like us. this was my first draft before realizing that making Q squish Kenji's face looked weird (I made them trying to hold Kenji in place from hugging them.)
so I changed it to Q strangling Kenji, after all it's more accurate to me and my siblings.
(Mayoi cards used: 255, 645, and 417. We hand-picked our favorite cards.) these morons keep trying to hug me and I hate it.
just noticed the step-up scout is here and a new event in bungo tales/mayoi so uhm mb ya'll ig no random spam of drawing posts, I'm a bit busy grinding for gay moons so, for now, you'll be getting one per day till I'm done :3
take this random doodle for now
me and my bro's fav's 😼
Fydor: Yukichi Fukuzawa, where have you buried all your employees? Tell me so I say
G'enchiro Fukuchi, Where have you buried all your dogs? Tell me so I say
Talking about the past of Fukuchi during the war: All the lives that you've stolen
Split in half, now bum and broken
Like your heart that was so eager to be hid
Talking about Mori, Dazai and Kyoka: He can't keep them all caged
They will fight and run away
Dazai and Kyoka to Mori: Mori, tell us so we say
Fydor: G'enchiro Fukuchi, where have you buried all your dogs? Tell me so I say
Fydor: Fukuzawa yukichi, Where have you buried all your employees? Tell me so I say
Fydor talking about Fukuzawa past as an assassin: Forest walls and starry ceilings
Barren memories that you're weaving
Like the fears that you keep inside your head
Talking about the agency: You can't keep them all safe
Talking about Kunikida, Tanizaki, Kenji and Atsushi: They will die and be afraid
Ranpo: Father, tell me so I say
The agency:(President, tell us so we say)
Fukuzawa: Amenogozen, where have you buried all my employees? Tell me so I say
Fydor Dostoevsky, where have you buried all my employees? Tell me, so I say
Amenogozen, where have you buried all my children? Tell me so I say
Fydor Dostoevsky, where have you buried all my children? Tell me, so I say
The agency: (Tell us, so we say!)
Fydor : you can't keep them all safe
They'll be far and fly away
The agency: President, tell us you will stay
We'll be far and fly away
I wanted so bad to do an animation with this song for the latest chapter, but I suck at drawing.
Anyway, I just didn't expect how the chapter went, but I it makes me scared.

Headcanon about Dazai because why not ??
1 - Dazai once tried to sell Kunikida's notebook for 500$, because this man is broke.
2 - Dazai knows Kunikida's notebook by heart, he can even recite it.
3 - Dazai often dream about Odasaku, and how things could have been very different if Dazai arrived earlier.
4 - Dazai actually ignores that Ranpo knows Odasaku, and Ranpo never tells him because he genuinely feels guilty.
5 - Dazai really wants to be a father figure for Atsushi, or at least a brother figure. Because he wants to know how it feels to be proud, even if he needs to be proud of someone else.
6 - Dazai is tried to steal Fukuzawa's wallet.
7 - When he was young, Dazai dissected the insects he killed
8 - He's scared of dogs and spiders, but he's too proud to admit it.
9 - Dazai also sucks at offering gifts, he always says "Why do I need to offer you a gift ? I'm already the best one you can have."
10 - Dazai mimic Odasaku's expression
11 - The reason Dazai became attached to Kunikida was because he and Oda share the same sense of justice, and neither Oda, neither Kunikida wants to see anyone die because/in front of them.
12 - Dazai once cried because he was so tired of works that he ended up crying
13 - Yosano never authorised Dazai to touch her butterfly pin, since it's from an ability and that Dazai's ability is always actived.
14 - Dazai once skipped work to go to a restaurant that serves crabs.
15 - He always comeback whenever the problem is actually done, not when we need him.
16 - He always pet the random cats on the street.
17 - He never loved kids, he found them annoying and childish
18 - Him and Ranpo always make dumb bet like "The first one who solves 16 cases pays the other a snack." Ranpo always wins.
19 - When he and Kenji or Atsushi play chess, monopoly or whatever, he always lets them win.
20 - He, once, eats lipgloss to d*e. Expect that Kunikida caught him and Dazai tried to explain. Kunikida didn't wanted to know tho…
"Night has fallen, and morning will come too,"
Kenji said while gazing at the paddy field.
"Spring will arrive, and Autumn too. Everything is split in halves. The grass grows, trees wither, animals are born, and they die……when you live with the land, you slowly come to understand that nature is made up of halves. When something bad happens……when a storm or erosion happens, we feel like bad things will only continue. But in truth, the good and the bad, they are all part of nature……part of living. That’s how everyone in the village thinks."
"I do not understand,”
Akutagawa said, looking at the same scenery.
"So fortune and misfortune are equal halves? Do you want to say the same thing to my comrades who died in the slums?"
"That is why you’re the half that’s left, Akutagawa-san"
Kenji looked at Akutagawa.
"You survived. And with a very powerful Ability, too. Everybody passed on their good halves to you"
~Kafka Asagiri, Bungo Stray Dogs, BEAST.
the ada is such a loser compared to every other organization they go up against. they've got like eight members. they work out of a rented office above a coffee shop. half of them probably also live there. they're all broke. and yet everyone from the mafia to the government to the most powerful foreign gifteds see them as an equal opponent. and they're right.
hc that kyouka like. mimics people to show her affection, since she isnt good with words n stuff.
like one time she and atsushi were riding the bus somewhere and atsushi brought his knees up to his chest and just kinda sat curled up on the bus seat like that and kyouka looked at him for a minute before doing the same thing then looking at him with like these big cat eyes. atsushi was a bit confused but he smiled and sorta nudged against her and she smiled back
kunikida was pacing in the ada offices one day (dazai was later than usual and he was stressing a bit) and kyouka kinda just started walking next to him. she didnt really know why he was pacing but she thought it would help if he did it with him (it did, in a way)
naomi will be talking nonsense to a cat that she met on the street and kyouka has no idea why she would be doing that??? why is she saying made up words to this animal??? but she sees that naomi is really happy so she crouches down and starts babbling to the cat
tanizaki is worried at first bc sometimes theyll be sitting at the same desk and hes working in complete silence (like he always does, except for when someone is talking to him) and he'll look over at kyouka and shes just. sitting there. silent. and hes so worried bc he wants her to feel safe and he wants her to like him but shes always just. sitting there staring at him.
until one day, shes sitting with him and he starts drumming his fingers on the desk, waiting for a document to upload. then he hears a second set of fingers drumming the rhythm with him. he looks up, confused and sees kyouka looking at him, drumming her fingers. he stops, and as soon as he does her fingers go still. he starts up again, and so does she. he cant stop smiling the rest of the day.
kenji takes kyouka to a park for a picnic, after he found out shes never been on one. he takes out some orange slices and puts one in his mouth so it looks like a smile. she stares at him before doing the same thing, struggling a bit. they look at each other for a moment before bursting out laughing.
idk shes so important to me <33333
Bsd is really never beating the allegations, is it?
Previous Part: Part ½
<Thanks for lovely cover page @bsduwu)
Sorry it took me so long but I finally finished the first half of the au novel that was included as a bonus in the DVD/BD of the anime. The novel is called Gakuen Bungou Stray Dogs (Bungou Stray Dogs School) and is consisted of 2 parts, the first half is included in DVD/BD Vol 2 and the second half is in Vol 8. It is about 80 pages in total. It has also been adapted into a story in the game Bungou Stray Dogs: Tales of the Lost so you may find the story familiar.
Below is some of the notes I would like to read before proceeding.
- Please buy the DVD/BD to support the authors if you can.
- I don’t mind if you use bits of it for analysis or credits, but do not repost the whole thing out of Tumblr.
- Feel free to retranslate it if you want, but keep in mind that my translation is not perfect as I am not fluent in neither English nor Japanese.
- I am translating casually at my pace so I can’t promise when the next part will come out. But I will make time for it when I can.
That’s it. Happy reading!
Continuar lendo
A detail that I always found curious in bsd is how in fifteen Dazai needs to consciously activate his ability, but in the current time of the story he doesn't. At first I just thought Dazai had trained his own ability to the point where he could keep it active all the time, but Dazai's ability doesn't really seem very important to his work in the mafia, because we only see him using No Longer Human a few times during the light novels that take place during the time he was in the Port Mafia, so I don't believe this was something trained by Dazai, but rather the effect that All Men Are Equal has on him.
We know that Fukuzawa's ability is a suppression ability that influences the abilities of ADA members, allowing the agents themselves to adjust and control their powers, so it makes sense that joining after the ADA, Dazai made No Longer Human always be activated, so he couldn't be affected by abilities attacks even if he was caught by surprise.
The fact that the agents themselves can adjust their abilities with the help of All Men Are Equall made me think about the other ADA members, and how they are affected by Fukuzawa's ability. In Yosano's flashback, it's never said that she can only heal people with fatal wounds, and when Yosano refuses to heal Tachihara's brother (who Mori says is not seriously injured) she says that she doesn't want to heal him, not that she can't, so I believe that after everything Yosano went through in the war and with Mori, she herself chose to only be able to heal people who were almost dying, so she doesn't feel like she was reducing the value of the lives of those she heals, and so that others detectives of the agency understand the value that their lives and wounds have, and don't end up like the soldiers in war.
In Kenji's fight against Tetchou, we have a flashback of a conversation between Kunikida and Atsushi, and Kunikida says that Kenji's ability is driven by his anger, the angrier he gets, the more powerful he will be, however, his hunger can calm him, and I wonder if that might have something to do with Fukuzawa's skill. Kenji is a very calm person, and Kunikida says that this prevents his monstrous strength from coming out, so creating a way to calm him down so that his ability doesn't go out of control may have been Kenji's own choice when he joined the agency.
Kunikida only using his ability in his notebook of ideals may also have been his own choice. We know how connected to his ideals Kunikida is, and he says that all of his future and ideals are written in that notebook, so it makes sense that he would want his ability, an important part of his life, to be in his notebook too. On the other hand, All Men Are Equal could be the reason why Kunikida can only create objects the size of his notebook, but I can't see a specific reason for this choice.
I don't see many ways in which Fukuzawa's ability can affect Tanizaki's Light Snow, other than limiting the area in which he can use his ability. We know that Tanizaki can be very aggressive if provoked, so the fact that his ability can only be used at a short or medium range may be to prevent him from doing more damage than necessary when angered.
I believe all of these assumptions make a lot of sense, based on what we've seen of the influence of Fukuzawa's ability on Atsushi (forbiding him from fully transforming into a tiger, and from losing his mind while using his ability) and Kyouka (allowing her to control Demon Snow without her phone), and I really hope this topic is explored at some point during the manga.
Someone please give Atsushi a break, because he won't be okay after all of this.
Like, you know a chapter isn't going to be good when these are the first panels
As expected, that Tanizaki really was a illusion of his ability, which he apparently activated when Kunikida was attacked by the divine being last chapter.
Even though this is a really popular theory in the fandom i didn't expect it to be real (i always thought they were weird due to some childhood trauma or something like that), nor that it would be revealed at a time like this, but is good to know that they weren't actually incestuous.
The Tanizaki siblings have always been characters that intrigued me, and i really hope their story can be explored further after the end of this arc. Apparently, not even Naomi herself knows about her own origin, considering that Tanizaki wrote a note about it and left it well hidden, and now he asked Atsushi to pick it up and, from what the manga implied, give it to Naomi, so she could knew about his family in case he died there. Which makes me wonder how important or dangerous her real family might be, and that maybe that's the reason why Tanizaki has always been so overprotective of her, along with his somewhat violent personality.
I haven't read The Makioka Sisters and Naomi, so I won't comment too much because I'll end up saying something that doesn't make any sense at all.
I REFUSE TO COMMENT ABOUT HIS DEATH. No, no, no, i won't talk about it.
I know that these death will probably be undone, and that they are happening more to show how a real battlefield is, even with ability users, to make Atsushi feel completely alone again, until Akutagawa finally arrive and the two fight against Ame-no-gozen, but it doesn't change the fact that characters i like a lot are being turned into BUBBLES AND EATEN BY THIS ELDRITCH GOD!!
We got Kenji and Tetchou back but at what cost.
Kenji is just so happy to be able to help his friends. He doesn't even care if he's going to die, because Atsushi is going to live, and that's enough for him. He tells Atsushi to move on while he dies, beacuse he knew Atsushi needed to go somewhere safe!! THIS IS A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD TEENAGER, HE SHOULD BE AT SCHOOL, NOT AT WAR!!
And Atsushi is so desesperate due to the fear of the divine being and the pain of seeing his friends diyng in front of him that i want to give him a hug.
Literally the only good thing in this chapter was finding out that Lucy and Kyouka are fine, traped, but fine. At least they're not dead.
THE AUDACITY.
YOU JUST KILLED THREE OF HIS FRIENDS, OF COURSE HE'S NOT ALRIGHT??
Leaving the negative feelings aside, we FINALLY had an interaction between Fyodor and Atsushi! If we don't have explanations about Atsushi's past and powers in the next chapters I'm going to go crazy. I know this will be traumatic for Atsushi, but Fyodor knows more about his powers than Atsushi himself, and I think it's time we know more about him, especially the connection between him and the book.
Francis final protocol better be taking Lovecraft out of the fucking ocean and send him and Steinbeck to this damn airport because I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
