Rewatching this series has allowed me to notice the quite frankly hilarious exchange between Kunikida & Jun’ichirou during Atsushi’s entrance exam.

Jun’ichirou is trying to act tough with threatening Kunikida until he—out of nowhere, says this shit:

And Kunikida, understandably, is like excuse me??

Now, you can see the exact moment Jun’ichirou realizes he fucked up. Idk how much improv experience Tanizaki has, but I doubt he intended to make his demand that kinky, and it shows.

But it’s too late to change his bad boy act now, so he doubles down.

At this point, you can tell Kunikida takes a moment to lower his blood pressure, before he just resigns with a “this may as well happen” sort of face.

Like IMAGINE. You tell your colleague to pretend to be a psycho bomber and he asks you to do THIS shit??? Like Tanizaki do you have something you wanna share with the class?

You gotta hand it to Kunikida for keeping a straight face the whole time though, goddamn. He may be a tightass, but he committed to that role.

When I saw Akutagawa choose to save Atsushi over himself – going as far as outsmarting a man who can literally manipulate time and space – my first thought was:

"Well, that would have made for a fine entrance exam, huh?"

Then I cried. Obviously.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd akutagawa #akutagawa ryuunosuke #bsd season 5 #atsushi nakajima #sskk #entrance exam: shows intelligence skills as well as the willingness to sacrifice themselves to save lives #akutagawa: exists

found it REALLY interesting how they dodged the question

#especially when you think abt it #we know. ALMOST NOTHING abt the tanizaki siblings (including if theyre really siblings)#we know at least a bit of everyone elses past but not them #ranpo and fukuzawas past we know. a big part of yosanos past was revealed. dazai and atsushi obviously we know theirs #kyoukas and kenjis not too much but at least we know SOMETHING #even kunikida #not including the clerks bc theyre not very big characters #but the tanizakis? like who are they?#all we know is that tanizakis entrance exam was scarring and thats it #but when you look at this panel theyre explicitly turning the subject away from themselves when aku asks abt them #not just tanizaki not just naomi but BOTH OF THEM #ik this is the beast universe but. smths going on here ik it #bsd beast #tanizaki junichirou #akutagawa ryuunosuke #beast akutagawa

i'm going to be real with you guys for a moment. i don't think i'll continue following bsd much after this point

#i take back what i said about being excited for what's to come. i mean i am. in a very general impersonal way.#but the way the series is going. if the ending of the anime is going to be followed by the manga in a similar direction #is just very different from the silly armed detective agency vs port mafia authors with superpowers slightly high-stakes slice of life #that i originally signed up for. i've felt this way the whole decay of angels arc and just stuck around to see what happens #and because i care about the characters. bsd was always a character-focused manga for me #but the direction it seems to be taking is this massive epic entire-world-at-stake military scifi drama #where super epic power-up style ability weapons (and one-off overpowered nameless ability users are introduced and killed off in the same #scene. like the time manipulation catgirl) take the forefront at the expense of actual character focus and character development #like why are most of the (original) cast completely unaccounted for in what was meant to be a satisfying ending.#did asagiri forget that atsushi is the main character. why did tachihara's and sigma's arcs get cut short like that.#and frankly i feel like bsd started to take this direction from storm bringer onwards. the focus and scope of it is very different #to for example the untold origins or dazai's entrance exam or even 55 minutes. but if i were to theorise i would say that the scope of #the current direction of bsd must have started germinating during the 55 minutes light novel. if you can see what i mean #anyway more importantly i find that the tone is now entirely different from early bsd. it's just not the series that i fell in love with #so i think it's best that i stop here before letting it turn sour like jujutsu kaisen is to me now.#i have the manga (and anime) that i can reread (rewatch) up to the perfect crime arc whenever i want #i can reread the sskk fight of volume 20 whenever i want. i can revisit sigma and nikolai's chapters. there's wan. there's the light novels #and there's the wonderful fanfics and fanart and so many metas to read. that's what brings me joy more than the series itself nowadays.#that's all. end of era i guess. to an extent

no but like can we talk about how jun'ichiro is like... an amazing actor? i mean... atsushi's entrance exam, the whole lets himself get taken hostage by the port mafia in cannibalism arc thing... jun'ichiro has RANGE. and like if you think about it, he acts more than he realizes. like... his ability kind of requires him to act and pretend. or he'll need to pretend he's not using it or that it's real... idk i just think jun'ichiro is such an interesting character ahhhhhhhhh

#he's so blorbo shaped #like he's not even my favorite but is definitely up there and like sometimes i look back and watch atsushi's entrance exam and am just.#(sorry for the pun but) blown away. he's screaming he looks terrifying... the 'fight' with kunikida to grab the button... UGH and then the #scene where the port mafia uses him as a hostage... like the plan from the beginning was for him to go after mori and none of them had a #CLUE until he escaped like... bro he is so so so talented and prolly doesn't even realize it #ugh i have a lot of jun feelings #also i resent the fact that big brother jun'ichiro is not a tag on ao3 #like not just to naomi bUT TO EVERYONE like kenji and kyouka and atsushi... even tho atsushi is older... UGH #anyways imma make it a tag istg <3 #okay done ranting about my love for jun now lol #bsd #junichiro tanizaki

one of the (many) reasons why this exchange makes me so emotional is that Dazai knows very well the feeling of only ever being used and taken advantage of as a tool, and not knowing anything other than that life. He understands that Sigma can’t yet comprehend the notion of someone wanting you without any ulterior motives, of people just having natural relationships that don’t involve wanting to get something out of each other, because that was his life before he met Oda, who was a “balm for the soul” (in his own words) for him; hence, he doesn’t try to explain it to Sigma at first. But he does relent once Sigma takes Dazai’s initial silence as him being unworthy for an explanation... He doesn’t go into more detail as to why “understanding would be difficult”, because that would require opening up about himself which is something Dazai is still far from ready for, and because he knows Sigma wouldn’t be able to fully understand or accept all of this yet, but just the two reasons he does give for choosing him are already causing Sigma to start to rethink everything he’s ever known about the world and how people treat each other.

Dazai chose him to use his ability, just like everyone who’s always used Sigma has -- but he also chose him to save his life, and to help the agency, people he cares about and wants to help for completely selfless reasons, without expecting anything in return (sure, Dazai jokes about him being on the agency’s payroll, but that’s just his usual deflecting to avoid admitting that he cares :’). This is completely foreign behavior in Sigma’s world, where everyone has to use each other in order to survive, but he’s realizing that Dazai is different from them: he’s realizing what it feels like to be wanted simply out of compassion and love, and not because of how valuable he may be. Sigma isn’t just any other ordinary orphan Dazai saves; he wants to save him particularly because he empathizes with him and sees his old, hurt, jaded self in him, and he’s slowly becoming the balm for the soul for Sigma that Oda was for himself back then, which is truly touching.

#bungou stray dogs #bungou stray dogs spoilers #meta #bsd 105.5 #Sigma is 100% joining the ADA by the end 😭😭😭 I just know Dazai has already adopted him #look at the softness in his face!!! he's making this Sigma's entrance exam you cannot tell me otherwise!!!#i know people like to say that Dazai sees his younger self in Atsushi #and yeah in a general more broad sense you could argue that #but Sigma is really who he can empathize with #even though Sigma personality-wise is more similar to Atsushi #but his past and the worldview it's given him of how people only ever have ulterior motives and want to use each other #is more similar to pre-Oda Dazai #he has Atsushi's anxiety and low self-esteem issues but his life experiences are Dazai's #he fought so hard for a home on his own - the casino - because no one else would ever give him one #he never had any reason to believe anyone ever would give him one #he's always wanted a HOME but never expected a FAMILY #but now Dazai is the first person who's ever chosen him for /him/#Atsushi showed him kindness earlier too but Dazai CHOSE him #both are so important and are having such a profound effect on Sigma #I'm also convinced that Sigma's ability got information from Atsushi before he thought he was going to die about his purpose or something #in exchange for the info about the page #and that that's going to come into play here during the peak of Sigma's development #it all just makes me so emotional ahhhhhhhh 😭🥺💜 i love these two so much *CRIES*

Does anyone else think Kunikida is lowkey suicidal

It's not the same as Dazai, who doesn't see any real value in living. It's more of a "my ideals and my comrades are more valuable than my life" type thing. What did he do in Dazai's Entrance Exam when he saw the people in the poison gas spewing cage? He immediately ran forward to try and break them out, knowing it would probably kill him. What did he do when the subway bomber attached bombs to Aya? He flipped the switch to save the people on the train and hugged Aya so she wouldn't have to face the pain alone. What did he do when the Hunting Dogs attacked the ADA? He jumped out of the helicopter with a grenade to blow himself and Tetcho up give the other members of the ADA a chance to escape the Hunting Dogs. Over and over, he throws away his life to save someone else. Even if he knows it might not work, he does it. So yeah, I don't think Kunikida would try to kill himself, but he doesn't hesitate to jeopardize his life for even a sliver of a chance to help someone.

#bungou stray dogs #bsd kunikida #hunting dogs bsd #bsd dazai #Dazai's entrance exam #Someone give him a hug #Ironic that Dazai was the one to stop him in the first light novel #I think Kunikida hates Dazai and Atsushi because he sees his own problematic behavior in them
