Going Fucking Insane About Dragon And Kuma Today Mayhaps!!!

the most beautiful ending was for sukuna (and uraume) because not only did we get a good afterlife scene of him going north for and with uraume but gege also showed in the epilogue how he was always destined to go north because he was always a chill guy and had depth, despite keeping an aloof demeanor. He took uraume and raised them like he was always meant to be an amazing father. What he did was a reaction to how he was treated but at the very core he always carried light. Ending the manga with "how did YOU not grow cold with me uraume?" to uraume's first "how are you not cold next to me sukuna-sama?" was the most beautiful way to describe their relationship, they both might have seemed cold to others but they were a source of warmth for each other, both of them kept the other intact in some way. Ride and die for eternity.

It reminds me of the quote, "when is a monster not a monster? Oh when you love it"

literally though the fundamental misunderstanding that characterizing chuuya as someone who is too extroverted, or cant help getting attached, is. because he could actually! very easily!!! he already has trust issues! & it’s such a huge thing that for him, the fact that he has not yet become verlaine or become dazai is a choice, an effort, often at the expense of himself

This truly was our Jujutsu Kaisen

A tachigin commission I did the other week!

oh we're not ready... 💔

One of things I love about Dazai's past is how it forces you to rethink the idea that "X character is irredeemable", because whilst all characters in BSD are morally grey, Dazai is one of the best examples of it.

Everything every "evil" or "bad" character has done in BSD Dazai has probably also done, and if he hasn't, he's fully capable of doing it, if he wanted to. We especially see that in the Beast timeline, but main timeline Dazai isn't above underhanded tactics, manipulation and criminal activities if it serves him and the people he cares about.

Yet, he's one of the "good guys", we root for him because he's in the Agency and fighting for the light.

You can't say Mori or Fyodor, or Ace, or Fukuchi, or Gide, or Verlaine, or Rimbaud, or any other antagonist is irredeemable without also labeling Dazai as irredeemable.

The Dazai we see in the current manga is still the same person who committed all those awful acts in the past. The only reason he's helping people now because it was a dying friend's request and then he realized he likes doing it.

His "redemption" is a completely selfish one and BSD says that's okay. He does it for himself and he didn't actually pay any penance for the crimes he committed.

To accept that Dazai gets to do this, means accepting that every antagonist, every "evil" character has the right to that opportunity too. Like how Mori gets that opportunity in the Beast timeline. The only thing stopping a character's redemption is their own choices.

Once again thinking about this manga panel, but not because of eepy Chuuya this time. (though that's usually why asdfhjk)

But because Dazai, who was previously knelt down and teasing Chuuya, completely relaxed now that the fight is done, stands up as soon as John emerges from the trees.

John who is an enemy, who even though he's unarmed is an ability user who could still easily attack Chuuya and comes into the clearing behind Chuuya.

Chuuya who is too tired and worn to defend himself right now, Chuuya who has a weakness to attacks from behind and surprise attacks.

And Dazai stands up, he plays it off nonchalantly, but he's alert because an enemy has just appeared and could decide to attack them if he wanted to. If he wanted vengeance for his fallen comrade. So Dazai stands and he leans towards Chuuya, ready to shield him from an attack from an ability when he's practically defenceless.

It’s kind of a strange thing—Dazai, Akutagawa, and Kyouka all dislike dogs. At first, I figured it was just a Port Mafia thing. Maybe something to do with their situation pre-mafia (that's probably true, too). But since bsd loves its symbolism, I thought of something else.

Dogs stand for hope, loyalty, and unconditional love—everything these three have been taught to reject. To them, trust gets you hurt, devotion is a trap (except towards the mafia), and love is just another weapon in someone else’s hands. Their walls weren’t built by choice; they were built by the people who came before them.

Dazai taught Akutagawa, and Akutagawa taught Kyouka. A cycle of cruelty, passed down like a rule. Maybe their mentors convinced them that "dog-like" traits were impossible for people like them. Or worse—that kindness was a weakness they couldn’t afford.

And the irony? Back when Dazai still had Oda and Ango, before everything fell apart, his toast was "to the stray dogs." Poor Dazai. The only place he ever felt love was the one he could never return to.
