Bunguo Stray Dogs - Tumblr Posts
I’ve recently realized that Russians in anime are some of my favorite characters.
• Irina Jelavich from Assassination Classroom is my second (only to Koro Sensei) favorite character in the series. She has a cool backstory and is the most human in the series.
• Vorona from Durarara!! I love her, and her progression in the series. She has the coolest fight scenes and I love her interactions with Shizuo and Tom.
• Fyodor from Bungou Stray Dogs. He’s not my favorite but he is just so cool. I’m super intrigued by him and am so excited for the next chapter to find out more about him.
• And finally, Victor from Yuri on Ice. I’m only two episodes into the show but I am in love with his character. He seems to show what being burnt out but still loving something really is.
I might have to start purposefully looking for more shows with Russians in them…
HUGE SPOILER WARNING FOR BUNGOU STRAY DOGS CHAPTER 109.
I have an actual theory on why Dazai is alive. I might not have the how, but I have been trained by Fairy Tail’s author to spot fake out deaths. A small essay.
So when you get shot, you bleed. That’s a basic fact. Sometimes, even, to show a character has died without outright showing the violence, directors and mangaka will simply show a spattering of blood. In this panel:
And this one:
We see no blood from his head. We see some from his shoulder, where he did get shot, but none from his head. I have no clue why he is alive but you cannot convince me otherwise that he is dead. Now my theory might get a little shaky.
In all the actual character deaths I have seen, there always seems to be a big speech or moment. It is the characters last testament to the world. It could be something from a flashback (August in Fairy Tail) to a kiss goodbye (Reina in Rave Master) or a speech of hope (Koro-Sensei in Assassination Classroom).
Dazai has no speech or moment. Just basically a ‘this didn’t go in a direction that I planned’. Chuyaa shoots him the first time before he gets that moment. He has more character that needs to be fleshed out. It is a little too soon for him to die. And it wouldn’t fit thematically with him too. He wishes for death on the daily, but has never gotten it. It would be strange for him to magically get his wish with no buildup.
TL;DR: Dazai did not die in chapter 109 because there is no blood and because it doesn’t fit his character thematically.
this is literally chuuya.
this is LITERALLY chuuya
Chuuya: “can I have a water….
on the rocks.”
dazai: “LMFAO WHAT?”
haha do you remember when that one panel with the Aya looking girl from Bram's life and people thought that was his wife and freaked out? Good on studio bones to clearing up that misunderstanding by adding the 'father' line. As for why bra-chan sees his daughter in Aya, I am not able to answer, as the tears won't stop flowing
Happy Birthday to my Beloved Dazai!
So here I present the AU concept: !IdolDazai
This will be my very first post on Tumblr and the only reason I'm confident enough to post this is because my art got selected along with other actual artists for the Virtual exhibit organized by the Twitter user /@dazaiarchives!
And I want to contribute for the celebration of one of my most favourite fictional character, Oh I love him dearly~
P.S: It took me exactly one month to finish this 🥲
