Chapter 13 Is Up As Of Today! If You Choose To Read, I Hope You Enjoy! Excerpt From The New Chapter Is

I think if Dazai got a psych diagnosis it would be Borderline Personality Disorder. Hear me out. He hits just about every sympton listed on the Mayo Clinic's website. Suicidal and feelings of emptiness are shown throught BSD. We see him being involved in risky behavior (gambling, drinking, literally putting himself in dangerous situations/harms way). Inappropriate, strong anger is a bit harder to catch since his isn't physical or loud like Chuuya, instead Dazai tends to get sarcastic and bitter as we see in 15 or he gets "even," if someone one ups him he attempts to destroy them as we see with Fyodor and as shown with the quote Oda had about Dazai’s enemies. His relationships are rather unstable (don't think anyone will argue with me there) and there is an argument that he has abandonment issues which is why he keeps people at arms length, kinda a "you didn't leave me, I pushed you away" deal. If you're paying attention you can also catch when he's manic and when he's masking. Most of the time, he's masking. One exception is at Lupin Bar with Oda and Ango. He's not as over the top like when he's masking, but he's also much more excitable than usual. It's a subtle difference and I've found that it's not shown in the anime as much as it is the novels.

Please note: I say this as someone who is diagnosed neurospicy, so my personal experience may be at play in my analysis.

During the cleanup of Chuuya and Verlaine’s fight, Dazai finds out there was another clone in Facility B and decides to retrieve it while Chuuya is recovering from his first time using Corruption.

Chuuya navigates being in the Port Mafia and taking care of his new little brother, and Dazai navigates the new dynamic in his an Chuuya’s partnership.

Not that Dazai cares ... right?

Okay, so in the Traumerei Amizu flashback, it's implied that the only people to enter the room where Traumerei had shut himself in after Amizu announced that she was leaving were other members of the 10 family heads. Somehow, I doubt he was close to anyone else given his reclusive nature. If that is the case, then who the fuck is he?

There's only three family heads we haven't seen in any capacity. Ari Han, Bloodmadder, and Tperie. We can rule out Ari since he probably looks similar to his cousin, Arie Hon (personally, I think SIU should have leaned into the closeness of their names and just made them twins). That leaves Bloodmadder and Tperie. I'm leaning toward Tperie because of all the eyes. What's all your thoughts on it?

Season 4 of Tower of God will be interesting as far as lore building goes. Because Baam's been told about his parents multiple times. Data Edahn specifically told him about V. Cha told him about Arlene. And while Data Edahn probably only knew early V, Cha would've known Arlene (or heard of her) during the Great War. Baam has an idea as to who his parents are. What kind of people they were. So, I'm wondering how much of his interactions with V is going to contradict/reinforce the image Baam has of them in his head.

“Perfect timing! Arlene, Zahard, who’s your non-human hear me out character?”

The Thirteen Great Warriors have some downtime on their climb up the Tower and end up on the topic of their "hear me out" characters.

(All answers were found on Reddit and I am now scarred for life.)

Hypothetically, if Fyodor took over Chuuya’s body, would Arahabaki go nuclear? It's implied in Stormbringer that Arahabaki is only dormant because his vessel is Chuuya specifically. And we know Chuuya only has some access to Arahabaki’s power since he doesn't have the black flames or turn into a monster like Verlaine did with Guivre. So, would Fyodor be able to restrain the god? Or would he instantly go into corruption mode?

On that note, would he be able to take over Lovecraft since it's implied he's not human and even Dazai couldn't nullify him?

Chapter 5 of Singularities has been posted! Hope you enjoy!

Chuuya passed the guards stationed in front of the Boss’s office and closed the doors behind him. “You wanted to see me, Boss?”

Mori looked up from some paperwork. “Chuuya, I hear your recovery’s gone well?”

He rubbed the bandages still around his wrists. Even with Chuuya being a ridiculously fast healer, the wounds from the stakes and barbwire were going to take a while to fully go away. “Yeah, minus the migraine from Dazai constantly bothering me.”

Mori smirked. “I must admit, that was partly my doing. I asked him to check in on you for me.”

Chuuya sighed. “I appreciate the concern, Boss. But you really could’ve sent literally anyone else.”

He shrugged and put out a hand. “May I have a look?”

Chuuya stepped around Elise and the creepy doodle she was working on and gave him his wrist. The ex‑doctor unwrapped the bandage and examined the healing wound. It was clinical in a way that made Chuuya’s skin crawl for a reason he didn’t fully understand.

“Hmm, you are an extraordinarily fast healer, even for an ability user. And judging by your progress, you may not even have scars from this.” Mori fastened the bandage back in place. “Fascinating.”

One of my favorite things in AFTG is how the author deals with consent, particularly between Neil and Andrew. "Please" is such an easy go-to to make something not sound like an order or demand (especially for more aggressive characters, i.e., "Let me x/Do x, please"), but she completely took that off the table in this case. It becomes even more of a challenge when you take into account how Andrew’s bluntness can be taken as rude, but it's offset so well with Neil needing it spelled out to him because romantic interest go right over his head. Also, once a boundary is set, it's set. No questions asked. No testing it. And despite Neil being dumb as bricks to most things (bless his heart), most of those boundaries aren't even verbally discussed. It's either trial and error, observation of the other, or just left for the other to initiate. And there's no question to the reader that "no" or any sign of hesitation will be taken as "no." It's kinda refreshing to see it portrayed that way in media.

If Chuuya had his original ability to strengthen anyone else's ability by touching them, I wonder if his and Dazai’s abilities would cancel out on contact (making Dazai vulnerable to others abilities and Chuuya unable to strengthen abilities) or if it would cause a singularity by making a constant feedback loop. It's a very unstoppable meets immovable object scenario.

Bram: I finally have my body back!
