"what's your favourite horror movie?" I don't know? Maybe the fact that izana realised that he was about the lose the person he cared the most about and didn't even hesitate to sacrifice himself? And that warm smile he gave in the end?
It was never just a phase

I love this post sm because I've been thinking the same thing but I couldn't put it into words😭
(Contain 15-years old Novel excerpt spoiler )
Ever since the Rat’s arc I always wondered, why was Chuuya the one entrusted with the position of acting director in the wake of Mori’s infection by the virus? It’s not his skills that made me question it, just that there’s a lot of other candidates around him that seems like a better alternative at the time.
The level-headed, powerful (and arguably less drunk) Kouyou.
Or the veteran, well-respected Hirotsu.
(not Akutagawa, though. Definitely not Akutagawa. Ma boi’s not a good fit for leadership)
And in the new novel excerpt of soukoku’s first meeting (translated by the wonderful @looking-for-stray-dogs ) we finally found out the reason why.
Chuuya was not originally from the Mafia, rather he was a member of an organization known as the Sheep—and from the admission of a mafia member, the organization is a powerful one. And Chuuya? Chuuya is known as the King of Sheep, conceivably the leader of the said powerful organization that even a member of the mafia is afraid of.
And all of this happened when Chuuya was fourteen or fifteen. Younger than even Dazai when he was made Executive.
In hindsight, it’s clear why Chuuya was left with the Port Mafia in absence of the boss; he has experience, even more than that of Kouyou’s and (arguably) Dazai’s, in leading an organization. Seven years under Mori’s leadership and four to five as his right-hand man, Chuuya was a different beast altogether from the one that kicked in the window of an airplane for revenge.
We always hailed Dazai as the genius of the Port Mafia, but in actuality? The Mafia is in possession of two geniuses. If only Chuuya had joined the Port Mafia first and not the Sheep there’s not a single shred of doubt in my mind that he would be just as feared as Dazai, a true equal in every sense of word.
With the revelation I won’t even be surprised that, if Mori were to die before Dazai return to the Mafia, Chuuya would make a powerful new boss to the organization.
Personally kageyama tobio (haikyuu) in the middle school but I think you'd also like his redemption arc
show 4 characters you like/relate to and the person below has to give you a character they think you’d like/relate to!
akechi (persona 5), akutagawa (bsd), furina (genshin), hajime (dr2)

Why.
Emma died thinking Draken didn't love her back.
Izana wanted to shape Mikey into Shinichiro but he ended up shaping Mikey into himself.
Kakucho lost his beloved people twice-his parents and Izana-and both times, he was the only one who survived.
Izana doesn't have a grave because he has no family and relatives. Kakucho probably doesn't know where Izana REALLY is buried.
Mikey and Kazutora end up destroying something they loved the most.
Ryusei had to watch Kojiro getting physically and domestically abused and unable to do anything.
Baji stabbed himself because he didn't want Kazutora to blame himself and Mikey to kill Kazutora but forgive him.
In the manga, Izana's last words were "I'm beyond saving, huh?" but in the anime his last word was "Emma.."
Money in Japan is "Okane" but is heard as "Akane". Hence, everytime Koko mentions money, it feels like he's mentioning Akane. "I've always lived for MONEY" he said. But it sounded as "I've always lived for Akane."
Kazutora was having breakdowns in the juvie. He would be screaming, sweating and trembling while completely zoning out and disconnected from reality.
Even if Kazutora shifted blame to Mikey, he was still feeling horrible guilt.
Draken told Kazutora that he was one of his, still part of his crew, but then we see Draken saying that he wanted to kill Kazutora.
Kazutora's hair went white because of the stress and trauma in juvie, that's why he dyed his hair blonde.
My endgame 💫
I asked God to send me a swordsman ,
God said look at your hands.
You are a better knife ,
than you are a person.
Silico was a bad man , but a good dad
