Big Bad Evil Man Or Not, Put Dostoyevsky In A Room With Teenage Chuuya And Dazai And He Wouldn't Last.

Big bad evil man or not, put Dostoyevsky in a room with teenage chuuya and dazai and he wouldn't last. They would bully the willpower out of that man

*.✧Fallen angel skrunkly*.✧

Teenage soukoku acting like typical middle schoolers who give their homeroom teacher headache except they're in a mafia meeting.

They behave for the first ten minutes, fifteen minutes if the team is lucky and after that Mori's lifespan starts shortening. It starts with Dazai whispering something to Chuuya and Chuuya snickering before whispering back. Soon the whispers turn into bickers and bickers turn into yelling until they meet Mori's glare and fall silent. He apologises to the foreign dealers and the meeting resumes.

Peace restored but not for long.

Five minutes later they're talking again. Dazai rocks the chair too far back and falls over. Chuuya laughs, because of course he does. A minute later Chuuya screams and jumps away from his seat. All eyes are immediately on him as he points at Dazai while rubbing his arm.

"THIS BITCH BIT ME"

Mori wants to cry.

I am deeply suspicious of Dazai’s character because like, he isn’t the protagonist. At all. Atsushi is the protagonist of the main manga and Dead Apple, Akutagawa is the protagonist of BEAST, Kunikida of Dazai’s entrance exam, Oda of the Dark Era, Chuuya of Fifteen and Storm Bringer. And yet, Dazai still sits at the center of all those stories. By all logic, he should not be as important to the story as he is. But here he is, absolutely fundamental to every part of BSD. He moves the plot forward. He is the puppet master, the hidden hand, the author of the narrative. I need to examine this in detail but like, isn’t that a bit weird?

Let's talk about teenage soukoku and the first time they steal a car.

Sixteen years old Dazai Osamu wakes up one day and decides he's going to learn to drive today and because drama is his middle name, he asks (threatens) their chauffeur to teach him about car parts and what they do. After learning each part and its function (mind you he hasn't tried driving once yet) he happily goes to get his partner.

Fast forward to 3 hours later the infamous double black is being chased by a crowd of angry citizens for unsupervised vandalism (property damage, arson, causing ruckus you name it). Between Chuuya yelling profanities and threatening to kill him Dazai pick pockets a car key and to his luck, it's a pick up van parked on the side of the road.

He only hopes the functions are as same as the limo they use in port mafia.

He gets into the car and Chuuya follows, but he doesn't do it quietly.

"What the fuck are we doing?" He asks as he slams the door shut, "bastard can you even drive!?"

"No, but I'm going to learn now," is Dazai's reply as he pushes the key into the ignition and twists it. The engine starts with a roar.

Stage one: accomplished.

Ignoring Chuuya's scream of protests and threats he slams the gear stick and hits the pedal and they're immediately on the road, crowd chasing behind them.

Laughing, Dazai speeds up and Chuuya holds onto the seat for dear life, all while screaming on top of his lungs. Dazai can't feel his face from the gush of wind but he doesn't stop. It's crazy, it's stupid and it's absolutely thrilling.

Somehow he manages to drive them far away from the people, the city (the fucking police if they saw them, Dazai doesn't know) and he stops the car to a side of the road.

He turns to look at his partner and the older boy is still next to him, clutching on Dazai's arm, hair completely disheveled by the wind and breathing heavy.

Their eyes lock and Dazai opens his mouth to tease him, make a joke about how chibi looked like a dog even more now, but then Chuuya starts laughing. He drops his hand from Dazai's arm and he's laughing like a madman, hand on stomach. A giggle escapes Dazai as well because this is new, this feels amazing, he wants to do it again.

They sit there and laugh for god knows how long before a limo is pulling up next to there car and Hirotsu is driving them back, telling them how he won't cover up for them again. They thank him (Chuuya thanks him, Dazai sings "No promises~" and gets pinched by Chuuya) unaware of the fond smile on the older man's face.

Hey,pal! Seeing people making weird analysis of Light(from the mental disorders ones to the "the Death Note was warping his mind" stuff) makes me a bit ❓,especially when it's mostly explained by "you don't give practically absolutely power to anyone,much less to a teenager".

Haha yeaaaaaah. You’d think that would be the most obvious explanation and that the overall moral of Death Note was that even the best of us can be corrupted by absolute power…. and yet here we are.
