“Nothing in this world can fill the hole that is your loneliness. You will wander the darkness for eternity.”
“Awaken me from this oxidizing world of a dream.”
That was when Dazai first realized: Sakunosuke Oda understood him much more than he’d ever imagined - right up to his very heart, almost to the center of his mind. Dazai didn’t realize until then that someone had know him so well.
“Be on the side that saves people,” Odasaku replied. “If both sides are the same, then choose to become a good person. Save the weak, protect the orphaned. You might not see a great difference between right and wrong, but... saving others is something just a bit more wonderful.”
“How do you know?”
“I know. I know better than anyone else.”
Dazai gazed into Odasaku’s eyes and saw a glow of conviction. It was clear that those words were supported by some sort of strong basis. Wheter it was past experience or someone’s advice - Odasaku was trying to show Dazai the path he himself had once tried to walk.
Dazai knew that.
That was why he could bring himself to believe it.
Asagiri kafka, “Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era”

a cool detail i noticed is that in the first ending of bungou stray dogs there's a shot of shin soukoku with dazai where atsushi is facing left, akutagawa is facing right and dazai stands in the middle between them. they copied the same shot in season 4's ending but this time akutagawa faces left, dazai faces right and it's ataushi who stands between them. in season one, atsushi and akutagawa are strangers, facing completely opposite sides. and dazai is the one who connects them, the one thing they have in common is their relation to dazai. in season four, akutagawa is facing the opposite side of dazai, meaning that he's not chasing dazai's approval as much as he did back then. and now the thing that dazai and akutagawa have in common is their relation to atsushi, who is as close to both of them as the other, and now connects the two. even though dazai used to pull the strings of akutagawa, now the only bond the two of them have is their relation to atsushi —who has, in a way, changed them both for the better.

I remember being so distraught when we thought Hirotsu and Gin died, and then when it's revealed that Tachihara was the perpetrator, i was literally like "nvm theyre fine. That's his family, he wouldn't kill them no matter what" and i was right.
#i was on the fence about him going back to the mafia‚ but i KNEW that he would never kill Hirotsu and Gin#Tachihara's entire character is based on family ties and loyalty. he loved his brother so much‚ he joined the mafia to get revenge for him#even if he hated being compared to him. and this was YEARS prior to the series#the Black Lizard squad IS his family. even if he didn't plan it when he first infiltrated the mafia#and their family bond is even brought up in an omake‚ when the squad has to take care of a baby during the Moby Dick attack#so when it's revealed that Tachihara was behind Hirotsu/Gin's wounds‚ i was immediately like ''oh they're fine''#bc they're his family. he even keeps the hunting dogs at arms length‚ and doesn't treat them like he treats the black lizard squad#which is something that I noticed pretty quickly when reading the manga#he gets mildly annoyed at Teruko but doesn't like. actually DO anything about it#meanwhile he and gin get annoyed at each other and immediately point weapons at each other and act like delinquents#he and gin bicker and fight more like siblings than gin and her ACTUAL brother#anyway sorry for the rambling in the tags. i love tachihara‚ i love that he's the first to break the rules of the Book‚ i love his loyalty#i love his silly bandaid and his unnecessarily complicated revenge plot that his brother would definitely sold him for#bsd#bsd tachihara#tachihara michizou#bsd 4#bungo stray dogs#bungou stray dogs

BSD: An Absurdist Analysis - Chapter 4
Shinsoukoku's first encounter
[Masterpost]
We begin in the middle of Atsushi’s first encounter with Akutagawa, and Higuchi starts shooting at Atsushi and Tanizaki, but Naomi shields her brother.
Now I didn’t really talk about the Tanizaki siblings in the last post partially because I was focused on Akutagawa’s introduction and partially because they’re fucking weird and I try not to think about them too often. That being said, they’re relevant now so I guess I gotta talk about these two people who I hope are not genuinely siblings and just have an incest fetish — which I will specify is still not great, but at least its better than them literally being siblings!
Anyway, I mention the incest thing because… well, it’s absurd. Everyone who is not the two in question is made pretty uncomfortable by it, and even though its played for comedy most of the time, for both Naomi and Tanizaki, their affection for one another spurs them to take action in an absurdist way.
Naomi, despite not being the ability user of the pair, takes the bullets. Although we know as people who have read BSD that she does this likely knowing that Yosano will be able to heal her, there’s no guarantee of that, and a first-time reader definitely wouldn’t know that. To the reader and even to Akutagawa and Higuchi, Naomi stepped in during a seemingly hopeless situation, even though her actions were likely to only temporarily help.
Luckily, Tanizaki uses his ability against Higuchi until Akutagawa steps in and easily takes him down.
Then, we’re left with Akutagawa and Atsushi alone (after Akutagawa slaps Higuchi across the face… not one of his better moments).
For all intents and purposes, Atsushi should have no chance right now. He doesn’t really know how to use his ability, Tanizaki and Naomi are both down and Akutagawa is set up as this ruthless, dangerous, and basically unstoppable force.
Akutagawa begins the interaction by claiming that Atsushi just hurts everyone around him, sending the latter into an anxious spiral until Tanizaki tries to tell him to run, alerting him to the fact that he and Naomi are still alive and cementing his determination.
At this point in the story, Atsushi only lives for other people, not himself, and this will be his driving force for a while, though his experiences will eventually begin to undo that mentality. It is after this that he decides to fight back against Akutagawa, despite the odds.
Akutagawa even kind of calls him out on his absurdist behavior, having full knowledge of his own reputation and skills and the apparent likelihood that he would succeed over Atsushi. “Dying for justice…? How cliché,” he says disdainfully.
Atsushi steals his gun and then tries to fire at Akutagawa, but then he reveals that Rashoumon can protect him from bullets and dismembers Atsushi’s leg. Once again, we’re put in a position where it feels pretty much impossible for Atsushi to win, and he is launched into a flashback from his time at the orphanage. He reflects on the fact that he’s been spurned since birth, but even so he continues to fight back.
So, despite being terrified of his own ability and its potential to hurt other people, Atsushi makes use of it in this moment in order to rebel.
And that’s what absurdity is all about, the act of revolt against what is unfair in life. Atsushi having to face Akutagawa as an opponent right now is wild, for all the reasons I stated earlier, but because Atsushi refuses to give in and accept his own death (even if its because he wants to protect other people rather than himself), he is able to protect himself long enough for Tanizaki and Dazai to stop the fight, and he survives.
Dazai reveals that his absurdly forward flirtatious behavior from the prior chapter actually enabled him to plant a bug on Higuchi, implying that she suspected her from the very beginning. Higuchi argues that the Port Mafia will decimate the Armed Detective Agency if they don’t hand over Atsushi, emphasizing how large the mafia is and how much control they’ve got. I’ll I will say about this for now is that basically this won’t happen because the agency continues to survive and succeed through the power of absurdism, basically.
Oh, also? Dazai is revealed to be a defected member of the Port Mafia! But I’ve already talked about his defection and Oda, so I don’t feel the need to reiterate all of that, I just wanted to note that this is when this fact is revealed, and it’s revealed by Akutagawa. I will talk more about Akutagawa’s obsession with Dazai when it becomes more directly relevant.
That’s the conclusion of this chapter! I do want to mention that going forward Atsushi and Akutagawa’s relationship is going to become increasingly important because they’re essentially the conflict of an absurdist versus a nihilist, and we certainly see the foundations of it in these first few chapters.

Remembering how Atsushi still has Akutagawa's Rashomon coat. He escaped wearing it, and the jacket Akutagawa wears as a vampire is completely different. Is it hanging in Atsushi's closet? Does he wear it when he needs comfort?
#did he cry when he realized it was slowly losing Akutagawa's scent?#did he hold it to his chest and cry himself to sleep‚ the night Akutagawa died?#do you think when they reunite‚ atsushi will shyly ask akutagawa to come over‚ using rashomon as an excuse?#shin soukoku#bsd#bungou stray dogs#akutagawa ryuunosuke#nakajima atsushi#bsd 4#sskk#a.txt
