Is Haruchiyo Sanzu Unhinged?Definitely Yes. Is He Stupid? Absolutely Not.

Is Haruchiyo Sanzu Unhinged?Definitely yes. Is he stupid? Absolutely Not.

(*it's going to be long so if you aren't interested don't read!)

There’s a common take in the Tokyo Revengers fandom that Haruchiyo Sanzu is just some chaotic idiot with a pretty face, sharp sword, zero brain cells and in general just Mikey's "lapdog''. And while I get that some of it is meant to be a joke…let’s be real for a second.

Sanzu is not dumb. In fact, I’d argue that he’s one of the most dangerous and psychologically strategic characters in the entire series.Sanzu’s chaotic and emotional nature makes him look reckless, but that doesn’t mean he lacks intelligence. Many of his actions are calculated in their own twisted logic.Like when he drugged Takemichi’s team before a planned ambush or hiding the train.

Sanzu knows exactly what people think of him. Unstable. Loud. Insane. Reckless. But that’s what makes him so powerful. He’s mastered the art of perception control.When people think you’re just crazy, they let their guard down. They underestimate you.

And that’s when he strikes.

It’s how he managed to kill Mucho.Someone who was literally his brother figure and protector during the Toman days.You don’t manipulate someone like that unless you know how to play the long game.Mucho relaxed himself around Sanzu.He thought he knew him.Until he didn’t because Sanzu let him think that.

Yes, Sanzu is emotionally compromised.He’s mentally unstable.He’s broken and traumatized and obsessed with Mikey in a way that makes him act like a rabid guard dog. But that doesn’t mean he’s stupid.It means his decisions come from trauma, not lack of intelligence.

In fact, being able to function at such a high level while carrying all that mental weight? That’s impressive in its own right.

He planned attacks, stayed one step ahead of Takemichi's team, and knew how to navigate the Bonten world and kept the time travel secret.That alone proves he’s not just some pawn.Furthermore, in the Bonten timeline,Sanzu plays a key role in operations.He’s trusted with high-level tasks, and he’s feared.Not just for his violence, but because people don’t know what he’ll do next. That unpredictability is a weapon, and he knows it how to use it.

In addition,you really think Mikey would keep Sanzu by his side in two different timelines if he was just a blindly loyal follower? No way.Kantou Manji and Bonten are ruthless. You have to be more than loyal to survive there and have such high positions. You need to be smart, sharp, and useful. Sanzu isn’t just chaos.He’s calculated chaos and that's what makes him more dangerous than most characters.

He knows how to scare people. He knows how to get under their skin. He knows how to disorient his enemies before they even realize they’ve made a mistake.

That’s not a lack of intelligence. That’s strategy.

We all know Kisaki was a genius and honestly is Sanzu as Smart as Kisaki? Maybe.

Kisaki was a mastermind in a traditional, manipulative, “I have a plan for every outcome” kind of way. Sanzu is different.He thrives in instability. His intelligence is reactive, intuitive, emotional but just as effective.

Where Kisaki used cold calculation, Sanzu uses unpredictability, loyalty, fear, and emotional intelligence to get what he wants. That’s still genius — just messier.

To sum up.Sanzu isn’t dumb. He’s unpredictable and that’s his power.He lets you think he’s out of control, but that chaos is intentional. It keeps people guessing. It lets him move in ways no one sees coming. He knows what he looks like and he uses it adding to the fact that he knows how to play the long game.

So go ahead.Call him crazy and unstable.Just don’t call him stupid.Because under that wild smile and those pink lashes is a brain that knows exactly how to survive in a world that’s tried to kill him since he was a kid.

Headcanon that I'm too lazy to draw :

When Jinx is in her revolution arc, she develops a group of young, die-hard admirers. They go to VI to ask for permission to ask her out, and VI says she'll grant it if they know what her 'actual' name is. Unfortunately for them, none of them know her by anything other than Jinx.

Except for THE BOY SAVIOUR RAAAAAH

He doesn't ask because he's a bashful yearning idiot, though.

This is genius and it honestly wouldn't really surprise me

last night i dreamt tumblr added like a billion buttons to the mobile app so instead of this

we got this

and everyone just rolled with it but sometimes the wide naruto got too wide and blocked off all the other buttons and people would just post "got naruto'd again :/" and the only way to reset him was to log out and log back in

PLS I NEED PEOPLE THAT ARE GOOD AT WRITING FANFICS TO HEAR ME OUT OKAY???

Sirius Black as Osamu Dazai.

You don't understand, I'm OBSESSED with this idea 😭 I'd write a fanfic but I'm shit at writing, so least I can do is give y'all an AU to work with if y'all want (pls I'm begging)

-------------------------------------------------------------

So:

*Let's just say that the prank happened earlier* (or that Dazai's older in cannon, whatever you want, I'll just go with this) *and he felt so unbelievably guilty for betraying the love of his life* (I'm a Wolfstar shipper 😭) *in such a way and because of that he decides to stay away from the dorms for a while.*

*But the guilt became too much for Sirius to bear. He wrote goodbye letters, apologizing for his actions, confessing his love for Remus and explaining his reasons. He snuck into the dorms, laying the letters onto a table in the Gryffindor common room before leaving again. After some contemplation he decided to leave Hogwarts in order to do this because he didn't want them to find his body or, god forbid, someone finding him before he's dead and helping him.*

*He went to a bridge* (if you wanna use something else, go ahead, I didn't really know which to use) *and just as he was about to jump off, a man in a white coat approached him. He talked Sirius out of jumping and offered to give him a purpose and something to ease the guilt.*

*So Sirius black became Osamu Dazai.*

*Mori Ougai took the boy to Japan, and that's when all the cannon stuff happened.*

*Alright, but then also consider this. Some time later* (maybe a year or two?) *Soukoku being sent on a mission to Hogwarts* (idk why, maybe to investigate or sum?) *because Mori still knows who Dazai used to be and that he used to go to Hogwarts. So Sirius Black comes back to Hogwarts, but as Osamu Dazai.*

*So what will the Marauders and Regulus do when they find out that Sirius Black isn't actually dead and still very much alive, and that he's back but very very different.*

(and maybe if y'all want to, then consider this:)

*Remus, after finding out that his dear Star is alive and back, being jealous when he sees Soukoku together because their dynamic and closeness can have people questioning whether they're dating or enemies.* (they're dating, trust) *only to find out, later on, that Skk is very much not just a friend/rivalship. They're dating.*

*BUT ALSO, consider JAMES to be also jealous when he sees how close Skk is. Because Sirius was his best friend, so who is this short ginger dude with anger issues to steal his best friend away like that?! Who does this guy think he is, joking around, laughing, having inside jokes and all the stuff he used to have with Sirius/Dazai?!*

-------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone wants to write a fanfic, pls tell me 😭 I'm dying for this.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk
