Dame Agatha Christie is one of the characters we know too little about in BSD aside from her personality (partially), ruthlessness and role as a future antagonist. So, I decided to give her some spotlight together with some of my OCs.

And Then There Were Two is a story about Dame Agatha Christie finding herself amused over two Japanese gals: Natsuko Imamura and Misa Yamamura, both very different, yet so alike. Their relationship can be somewhat considered parallel to Ranpo and Poe. So if you're interested for something like that, the link is down below. If you read the story, I hope you like it!

My (crack) theory as to why Fyodor looks (almost) the same as he does now as he did in the past.

Spoilers for Bsd Chapter 114 and spoilers for Stormbringer.

If Fyodor's ability is indeed body switching (or at least part of it) as it is being implied to be.

Why does he look the same now as he did in the past? I propose the idea that the Fyodor we see in the present has his consciousness and ability.

But his body is artificial.

Stay with me on this, we know thanks to Stormbringer that artifical brings can be created.

Whether from an ability like Verlaine or robotic like Adam Frankenstein. Though I think this is more of an Adam situation more than a Verlaine one.

Given Fyodor's ability seems to carry not only his consciousness but his ability too.

How would he get this? Well the Guild isn't the only organisation that Fyodor is affiliated with.

There's also the Order of Clockwork, who have been hinted in the series but especially the light novels as playing a larger role in things.

And while Dr Wollstonecraft isn't part of that organisation, I wouldn't put it past them to reach out for her help.

Having seen her achievements and progress with Europol.

Or if that doesn't work, steal her technology and or her notes. The Order of Clockwork is lead by Dame Agatha Christy, so she'd probably be able to deduce the answers.

Whatever the case, now there's a body for Fyodor to transfer his consciousness too. One that's shaped in his image.

One that doesn't possess the scar he had on his face prior to being executed. Because Fyodor prides himself on being untouchable, so he wouldn't keep that.

But than how does he bleed?

Artifical beings in Bsd much like fnaf do not abide by the usual things we expect them to do.

Adam is a robot and yet he can eat chewing gum without consequences.

And frankly this is a world where Dazai can control and encode messages into his heart beat. A robot/artifical humanoid being able to bleed seems fairly normal in comparison.

However unlike with that guard at his execution, this body never had a consciousness that Fyodor needed to override.

And so when Fyodor leaves it now, it returns to being a lifeless body.

I don't completly believe this idea but I think it's a fun one.

And hey, it's Bungou stray dogs stranger things have happened.

David Suchet and Anna Chancellor as Hercule Poirot and Virginie Mesnard ♥ AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT 5x06 "The Chocolate Box"

"The story gave me the chance to show Poirot's emotional side, for as part of the film, he loses his heart to a young woman, Mademoiselle Virginie Mesnard, who asks him to investigate a case of what may be murder, but is being called a natural death by the doctors. Virginie was played by the lovely Anna Chancellor, then still just twenty-seven, the year before she leapt to prominence as Henrietta, or 'Duckface', as she was known, in Richard Curtis's award-winning film Four Weddings and a Funeral. Then still in her bohemian period, Anna was quite superb in our film, bewitching the younger Poirot completely, and presenting him with the tiny silver vase for his lapel that he wore filled with wild flowers from that day onwards."

"In fact, that never happened in Dame Agatha's original story, but was another example of the screenwriter allowing Poirot an opportunity to display rather more of himself to the audience on television than he did in the original story. Filming it made me truly happy, for there was Poirot as a younger man, pursuing the case against the wishes of his superiors, losing his heart to Virginie, even running through the streets of Brussels - not something the older Hercule Poirot would ever have allowed himself to do. It was a breath of fresh air, and a joy to do." - David Suchet, Poirot and Me

If You Like Benoit Blanc...

Ever since Glass Onion came out, it seems like everyone’s obsessed with Benoit Blanc and these types of mysteries! Which is great; as someone who loves them, I’m thrilled to have more people interested in the genre. So, if you’re looking for more murder mystery stuff, might I offer some recommendations?

Hercule Poirot

Agatha Christie’s delightful Belgian detective might be the most similar to Blanc of any of the big detectives out there. And with countless novels, short stories, the tv show, and the recent movies, there’s plenty of Poirot content out there for you to enjoy! I personally recommend buying a collection of the short stories and starting from there, but really, there’s no wrong way to get into one of the world’s most famous detectives!

(Note: Agatha Christie was a wealthy British woman who began being published in the 1920′s, and this shows in some of her stories. Most of what I’ve read I’d construe as not meaning badly but definitely of the times, but it’s worth noting!)

Columbo

If you like the parts of Glass Onion where Blanc plays up the old fashioned, Southern charm and acts like a simpleton, Columbo is the detective for you. The whole conceit of this show is that we actually know whodunnit and the question is how is Columbo going to figure it out. Usually the answer is looking shabby, rambling, talking about his wife, and trapping people in their own lies. It’s incredibly satisfying to watch, and Columbo himself is very memeable.

Murder, She Wrote

The late, great Dame Angela Lansbury and her hit show Murder, She Wrote have actually been referenced in both Knives Out movies and it’s no wonder why. Jessica Fletcher is an acclaimed murder mystery author who uses her keen observation skills, knowledge from researching her books, and grandmotherly demeanor to solve murder mysteries. It’s a delightful show filled with tons of guest stars you’re bound to recognize, and J.B. Fletcher really is one of the great fictional detectives.

Pushing Daisies

Okay, admittedly I’m mostly including this one because I think everyone should watch Pushing Daisies at some point. It’s part murder mystery, part romcom, part musical, part absurdist comedy with an absolutely enchanting style. Our leads are a piemaker with necromantic powers, a dead girl walking, a jockey turned waitress, a private investigator who also knits and writes pop-up books, and two retired mermaid entertainers. It’s whimsical and wild in all the best ways while still having really creative, engaging mysteries.

There are so many incredible, unique murder mysteries out there- the genre really spans so many wonderful stories. These are just a few that I think are really fun and fans of Beniot Blanc will enjoy! For my fellow murder mystery fans, I’d love to hear what you’d recommend to folks just starting to get familiar with the genre as well!

I was looking at the BSD wiki a while ago and I have to ask, is Dame Agatha C.{I probably spelled her name wrong so forgive me} also self aware? In this AU

If not do you ever plan on adding her once she is finally introduced because from what I can tell she's probably gonna be the next villain in BSD because of how she was introduced during the Dead apple movie

Yes, Agatha Christie is self-aware in this AU.

But, she will be added only after proper introduction.

Because, right now, I have very limited information about her and Order of the Clock Tower.

We knew almost nothing about her.

She had one small appearance in the main manga. And two small appearance in Dead Apple movie/Manga. And one small appearance in Dead Apple Light Novel. Also has two cards in Mayoi, both of them are illustrated moment from Dead Apple.

None of them are too important to Agatha and reveal too much about her. And, I do have a doubt, that Agatha is a shy, insecure woman.

"How Agatha realized, that Guiding Light are good." Unrealistic Edition

Agatha: In thirty minutes, we will burn Yokohama!

Y/N: I might never understand your reasons completely, but I respect your decision and see your point of view.

Agatha: sobbing Finally, someone, who understands me! Awwwww!They are so cute! I must protect our adorable uwu bean! Order of the Clock Tower will protect them! Hm? Letter from Yokohama? They also want to protect them? Pack your things, boys and girls, we are going to Yokohama!

/I am sorry about that part, I couldn't resist. I like Agatha and can't wait for her real introduction. Gave me a character with real power! and bring back Fyodor... Sorry, was thinking out loud/

I am pretty sure, that Agatha doesn't need validation for her actions. So, I really can't see that any comment during her official appearance will make her like Guiding Light.

So, when we learn more about her, I will add her.

It also includes future characters. When we get their proper introduction, I will add them.

What characters/references do you hope to see in a possible Order of the clock tower arc of what do you think Agatha will be like? Based on the few appearances she has I think she’ll be a MoriDazaiFyodirSasaki type but you know.

Kafka Asagiri, by his own admission, draws inspiration for his characters from their namesakes' works and lives:

I draw inspiration not only from the author themselves, but also from their works. I like to look at particular scenes from those works of literature to then come up with the character [for my story]. For example, if we take Fyodor and look at this character, he is completely different [than the real-life author]. He has absolutely no similarities to Dostoevsky. I took inspiration from Dostoevsky's book, The Brothers Karamazov, in which there is a scene where Ivan has a conversation with the devil. I based Fyodor off of this.

I've noticed that his Western characters tend to resemble more closely their namesakes' works than their namesakes' lives. Which isn't to say the Japanese characters do not also borrow from the namesakes' works (they do, prolifically; I can cite the source material for much of Dazai's more iconic dialogue).

But in addition to Fyodor, who Asagiri acknowledged above more closely resembles a character than the author himself, Francis resembles Jay Gatsby; Louisa resembles Jo March; Steinbeck resembles Tom Joad; HP Lovecraft resembles Cthulu; Bram Stoker resembles Dracula— etc.

To some degree, the distinction isn't especially meaningful. Scott Fitzgerald, for example, clearly drew from himself and Zelda for Jay and Daisy, even using quotes from Zelda for some of Daisy's dialogue. Further, I'm sure my impression that the Japanese characters more closely resemble their authors might be related to the popularity of autobiographical fiction in modern Japan. And there are, of course, exceptions (such as Ranpo).

All of the above to say: I'm almost certain that most of Agatha Christie's personality is drawn from Judge Wargrave from And Then There Were None rather than the author herself, who preferred to project a more understated, self effacing presence. (Although, bsd!Agatha's title is a reference to Dame Agatha Christie's, and her reclusiveness could be modeled after irl!Agatha too.)

I'm not sure how familiar the fandom is with Wargrave; I studied And Then There Were None in middle school, but I don't know if it's still commonly taught or not. He's decisive, commanding, cold, calculating, and deeply sadistic. He acts as the narrative's detective, judge, jury, and executioner but only as a pretense for satisfying his own self-admitted lust to kill. He claims he only desires to murder the guilty, but he also appoints himself the moral arbiter of guilt and meters out suffering relative to the degree to which he's decided the others are guilty.

It's nakedly apparent that he is not interested in justice but in pageantry. He curates the setting and plays with the others like they're dolls, or more aptly, like he's a well-fed outdoor cat and they're the local bird population. In that sense, he isn't like any of the characters you mention above. He's a mastermind like them, sure, but he lacks Mori and Dazai's self awareness and insight, and Fyodor and Sasaki's ideological passion. There is nothing he seeks to protect, like Mori and Dazai, nor any institutions he seeks to destroy, like Fyodor. While he wants you to think he's avenging unpunished crimes like Sasaki, the justice he delivers is more arbitrary.

He just wants blood and artistry, but he also wants moral authority over those he deems beneath him even though he knows he isn't innocent. I think we've already seen that in bsd!Agatha. In Dead Apple, she sits in her ornate throne and, with serenity and pleasure, informs Ango that she will destroy Yokohama at dawn. She has her perfunctory justification (to stop the spread of Shibusawa's fog), but her eagerness, projected authority (over a foreign government, no less), imprecision (bombing the entire city rather than seeking to subdue or execute the perpetrating skill user), and method of execution (launching a convicted skill user to suicide bomb the city) speak to her bloodlust and sadism. When Shibusawa is killed and her attack is recalled, she openly pouts because she was looking forward to the destruction.

Quite frankly, I'm not convinced Agatha would make a compelling primary antagonist. She doesn't have any interest in Yokohama absent the opportunity to enact mass murder from a distance, and only if there's some national security justification, however superficial. She's modeled after a mastermind, but her position is too high, and her sights too macro to make use of Judge Wargrave's detailed pageantry.

The One Order may be enough to coax her attention, but again, her attention is too impersonal, and her sadism is too broad for the relationship-based conflicts on which bsd is built. She will not engage directly if she does engage, but by proxy. It's interesting to watch Fyodor and Dazai play their hybrid 4D chess-Go game because of their chemistry and understanding of themselves through the other. Agatha will not descend from her literal and figurative tower to meet them on any meaningful interpersonal level; Judge Wargrave certainly doesn't. Instead, she works best as a specter over Yokohama; an existential threat from a more powerful foreign power.

There are more than a few reasons to involve her more in the plot, but not on her own; there would need to be another, more intimate antagonist for bsd's structure to work. That said, I would love a secondary conflict based on foreign policy and statecraft; I thrive there, and I've been so hungry for more information about the bsd universe's distribution of powers and interests. Maybe a foreign conflict will erupt and new characters who can match Agatha's level of state power will be introduced because of the One Order; or Ango's treason; or the sudden global spread of vampirism that crippled several national governments; or the leggy calamity that was just extrajudicially released from imprisonment by a 10 y/o to whom he's now loyal; or the internationally notorious political assassin Mori is hiding in his basement; or the prior collapse of Standard Island; or Chuuya's mass murder of MANY foreign military guards in Meursault ft. his feral poses for the camera; or the destruction of what seems to be the most prominent if not only prison equipped to contain skill users given they transported Russian and Japanese nationals to its location off the coast of France; or the assassination of the general of the one world army the United Nations just formed and now can't dissolve; or that said general was assassinated within, like, a day of his appointment by someone who should not be under public scrutiny given he previously assassinated multiple Japanese leaders; or any number of recent canon events.

So, there's certainly fertile ground for a higher level conflict, and Agatha might work if set against other, similarly positioned state actors, but I'm not sure how interested in or equipped Asagiri is to write political intrigue. Or where the international community and Mushitaro should even begin re: addressing what just happened.

Notwithstanding any of the above, I do hope bsd!Agatha has a much younger trophy husband just like her namesake.

Dames Margaret Rutherford and Agatha Christie.

Rutherford played Christie’s Miss Marple in 4 pictures. The author was not thrilled with those portrayals, but there was mutual admiration with Christie dedicating “The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side” to Rutherford.
