I’m rewatching the start of Season 2 and haven’t read the manga (yet, I’m working on it). But here’s just a random thought.
I’ll add my evidence later, ig.
I do remember Dazai laughing maniacally at Fyodor talking about God and then saying “you don’t actually know anything about God, do you?”
And before that, in the second season, a lot of people, including Dazai, hold Oda as one of the most powerful people they know, but we aren’t exactly shown why apart from him being virtuous (but that’s not why, because Dazai tries to talk him into and trick him into killing. Which also ties in with Dazai possibly being Satan/Judas because that’s also repeated a million times and y’know the devil tempts the good bla bla)
Theres a lot more I could add, I just need to gather my thoughts.
YANKING. Is the correct word.
yall always wanna talk about dazai pulling chuuya up by his choker, but have we considered chuuya yanking dazai down by his bolo tie? because I think we should
ALSO:
I’m claiming the beauty mark to be true because I have one on the opposite eye.
Very similar frames
Their hair is the same shape btw
People joke about Dazai and Chuuya being romantically experienced or whatever, but I think it's the opposite. Chuuya doesn't know what that stuff is because Mori thinks it's funny
Thinking aloud here;
This isn’t me saying you shouldn’t ship soukoku (or literally any other ship) because idc do what you want. There’s nothing wrong with shipping.
But I think everyone should forget about the romantics and just acknowledge the bond characters like Dazai and Chuuya have, without boiling it down to romantic (or sexual) attraction to one another.
Just for yourself to think about.
Regardless of what anyone else’s opinion is.
I just find that aspect kind of beautiful in itself.
And I think more people should recognise that as well.
This is the type of car I imagine Chuuya would drive
Update: I know it’s to indicate HOW they are speaking. Like the tone. Because it changes.
But primarily, Chuuya speaks more sharply and Dazai more emotionless and the monotone.
And I still think it’s cool.
Just reading Fifteen right now, and I love the way you can tell who’s talking by the shape of the speech bubbles.
And how they’re being said.
Chuuya’s are sharp and ridged.
Whereas, Dazai’s are monotonously the same soft, calm shape every time he talks.
Chuuya’s outfit makes me think so many thoughts. (Not that way, you dirty bastards.)
First of all. The way the colours slowly get darker with each layer, signifying that underneath it all, he’s got a pure heart. Good intent. But tries to keep it hidden, probably for self preservation reasons.
The neck cross shows how guarded he is.
The collar is to show his loyalty, just like a dog…
The gloves, while also having a physical purpose, symbolise his need to separate himself with the blood on his hands. It barely ever reaches his hands so he tells himself it’s alright.
And the hat, definitely for height purposes. I don’t have another reason for the hat, but google says possibly for status. If so, it’s probably another self preservation attempt.
