"Would you really pick Akutagawa to live over Dazai–"

I would throw Dazai in a pit full of alligators for Akutagawa to be a little less underweight. I would set him on fire and hold a ritual if it meant Akutagawa got healthier lungs. I would empty a full gun's magazine on him if it meant Akutagawa got to smile happily.

My son has been away for too long, I miss him so much 😭

Ugh, I'm tired of hearing people say 'Atsushi shouldn't be the protagonist, he's hardly even relevant anymore!' and stuff. Listen to me: BSD is an ensemble story. There are four or more main characters, with alternating POVs, no clear protagonist, and the audience can (and are intended to) get invested in any and all of the characters, since they're all unique and have interesting dynamics and appeals.

I see everyone thinking about it in terms of just 'Atsushi can't be considered the protagonist' or 'Dazai should be the protagonist'.

No, Atsushi was our starting POV and generally the main character for the first season or two, because we had to get introduced to the world and our ensemble's characters. Atsushi starts out as the audience meeting all the ADA's characters and understanding abilities and the rules of the Agency, and then we start panning out to other characters, like how there are a few scenes, even in season one between Dazai and the Port Mafia, because more can be told about them and their backstories in scenes between them, or like in season two in the fight with Lovecraft and Steinbeck vs. Naomi, Haruno, Tanizaki and Kunikida. Atsushi wasn't relevant there at all, he was just supposed to pick Naomi and Haruno up from the station before Q intervened and started a whole different fight. Then in season 4, everyone got separated and Atsushi couldn't always be in the spotlight because we had to continue telling the stories of other characters, but he couldn't be there to watch them.

Not to mention, another reason for Atsushi losing relevance is because more and more characters are being introduced. Characters like Atsushi, Yosano, Kyouka and so on are being pushed out of the spotlight because new characters, like the Decay and the Hunting Dogs, are taking the spotlight with all their infighting and interesting characters the audience wants to know more about.

Don't get me wrong, by the way; that IS a problem. Asagiri has put in so many characters he doesn't have time to develop all of them. But people saying Atsushi should be included more just because he's the main character, or that he should have never been in the story, don't seem to understand that he's only one protagonist. He's served his purpose of introducing the starting characters to the readers/viewers. Do I think he still has tons of character development potential and that he shouldn't just be thrown away? Hell yes, but most people are picking sides on this based off of the black-and-white assumption that Atsushi is THE protagonist and that he should either be gotten rid of for a different one or stay that way.

🚨IMPORTANT 🚨

Hi, I’m Hadeel Adnan Abu Nasser from northern Gaza. We went through this war in very difficult conditions of starvation, destruction, bombing, and displacement.

First, I lost my father due to the barbaric bombing, then my family, which consists of 12 members, became without a father. 💔😭

Then I lost my brother, who died due to malnutrition. And the lack of food in northern Gaza. 🍉😔

Then the occupation carried out violent bombardment in our area, which led to our house being severely damaged. Thus, my family became homeless, without a father, and without any source of income🙏🏼

Do you think my family deserves your help? Spread my campaign to your family and friends. Perhaps your small donation may contribute to saving my life and my brothers’ support for ourselves..!🥹🍉
