So, The Anime I May Be A Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss To Clock Out On Time Is Hilarious.

Okay, so rewatching season 5 and maybe I'm a bit behind on the conversation, but who the hell stabbed Atsushi in episode 1? Is it explained in the manga (or even in the manga)? I'm assuming the sword is Amenogozen since it's clearly a katana and not a broad sword like Bram was stuck on. Although it could be something else since it's not glowing purple? But since Amenogozen can cut through space and time, then I assume it can cut into Anne's room. Regardless of how it got in there, who do we think stabbed Atsushi and could this mean someone's going to jump backwards in time? I hate time travel because it tends to break continuity, but I'm not sure how else to explain that scene. Thoughts?

So, judging strictly by how the fandom represents SKK, I feel like "Rule #34" by Fish in a Birdcage is a good rep of Beast SKK, while "I Can't Decide" by Scissor Sisters is good for Original SKK.

In cannon, I think "We Don't Have To Dance" by Andy Black is actually a good rep for Chuuya and Dazai's current relationship.

Chapter 16 is live! Here’s a little excerpt from the current chapter:

“Minyard did sign a five year contracted with the team,” Tetsuji said.

“Spare is dead to the world, so no one knows he’s here,” Riko replied.

“They know,” Ichirou growled. “That is why we are here.”

Riko blatantly glared at Neil and sneered. “Yeah, and I wonder how they found out.”

Neil met his gaze. “You accusing me of something?”

“Didn’t you talk to them after the game?”

“Yeah, because I have these things called friends. Ever heard of it?”

“Control your dog, Ichirou,” Tetsuji said.

Chapter 4 is up and chapter 5 will be out later this month. Enjoy!

Summary: 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, this has been nagging at me since Season 3. I know having the first person the audience sees Fyodor kill be a slave kid named Karma is significant, but I'm not sure in what way. BSD has had a lot of throwaway characters, but they never put that much emphasis on one. Hell, Coffee Shop Dude has been seen multiple times and has ties to the main cast, and I don't think we even have a name for him. (Side note: according to the wiki, the waitress Dazai flirts with is named Belladonna. Puts a whole new meaning to "flirting with death.") But Karma gets a distinct look, full backstory, and a name even though you could've replaced him with a faceless grunt, and nothing about Fyodor and Ace's interaction would have changed.

It could've just been foreshadowing for Fyodor's actual ability. However, it seems a bit over the top to be that. Especially when the hint in Dead Apple is executed so well in such a short scene. Pluse, the writer and artist of BSD knows how to plant things in advance. The artist noted that Tachihara being a hunting dog is revealed in his clothing because he's the only one wearing the green that's on the hunting dogs uniform (in the manga) instead of the Mafia's red/black motif. And how long did that reveal take?

The random POV change to a throwaway character is just weird, too. As a writer and editor, it doesn't make any sense. There's no payoff. He's not tied to the main cast. It would've been more impactful to the audience if it were a character we already knew. And I doubt Fyodor cares or even remembers the kid.

I know that whole interaction was cooking something, but I don't know what, and it's bothering me.

Thank you for your time.

I think the only reason we don't see Dazai using a gun at the Armed Detective Agency is because they refuse to give his suicidal ass access to one. We know he had no qualms about using one, so that's the only reasonable reason I can think of as to why he wouldn't have one.

So, I've seen some panels from the new BSD chapter (I haven't read it yet so I may be jumping the gun) and there's a minor plot hole that's been bothering me.

Dazai says that he made his plan on the assumption Fyodor's ability was based on touch which is why he concocted the whole helicopter crash to kill him. But, my guy, you got an ability that shuts off other abilities. You are immune to any side-effects and Fyodor can't use his ability (known or unknown/consciouslyor unconsciously) with you touching him. If you wanted to guarantee his death just choke a bitch out. You got a body count that would make most serial killers blush and you already planned to kill him. So why was that not Plan A?

I know this can be hand waved away a few different ways; Dazai figured Fyodor would've planned for that, Dazai isn't used to using his ability in an offensive way like that, Chuuya suggested it so Dazai said that wouldn't work just to spite him. It's not a major issue, but I wanted to see what other people think. Does anyone else think that's a plan that could have worked?

As a writer I know why the author didn't go with it and its fine that they didn't. But I still want to hear everyone's thoughts.

I know it probably won't be the case, but I would love it if, in Tower of God, Arlene is revealed to be a very caring and doting mom to Baam. Like, she can be bat shit crazy and will destroy you for looking at her wrong, but when it comes to Baam, I would love it if she was a caring parent with a legitimate reason for not being around (improsioned or something like that). One, because he deserves a good parent. And two, it would be an interesting character dynamic given that every other parent in the story is competing for the worst parent of the year award.

Exy is the bastardized child of lacrosse and hockey that's been left unsupervised just a bit too long.

Okay so having went to my first lacrosse game as a non-sports person, I finally fully understand how exy got that popular. First of all lacrosse is already extremely entertaining on it's own, but you’re telling me it’s not just lacrosse, but it’s a contact sport, there’s a plexiglass wall that balls can ricochet off of, they are wearing like full uniform guard because it’s that violent yet they can run around as if their gear weighs nothing, AND IT’S CO-ED?!

Sign me the fuck up are you kidding me.

"Mindset of a ruler." Proceeds to be completely whipped for Baam.

Take their relationship as platonic or romantic; he's still whipped either way.

"I will not be ruled. I make my own rules. That is the mindset of a ruler."
