Actually, I really love how the movie begins and ends with Atsushi having deep, unconditional trust in Dazai's goodness, going even beyond what Dazai thinks of himself. It's such a nice pattern as well as compelling theme to explore. Their relationship makes me soft.

I've got a theory about why Sampo is so particular about enemies to "watch the face".

And it's not because he's a narcissist.

Sure, he may talk positively about himself, with all that "I take care of my friends", "I say what I mean and I mean what I say", and "Tall, Blue, and Handsome" thing going on, but what if he wants his face to be kept in tact so that when he goes into disguises, he wouldn't be caught?

Because if Sampo got a scar on his face and dressed up as Brughel Poisson, people would immediately recognize that both persons have that wound on the exact same spot, notice their other similarities, and put two and two together.

Therefore, Sampo being concerned for his handsome face may not only be related to this self-praise thing of his (which may also be an act to keep up a certain persona, but that's a theory for another day), it may also be because he wants to keep both of his identites a secret.

OH MY GOD YOURE RIGHT

now that everyone hates Wilbur Soot I can finally say it. Dazai has extreme/neg Wilbur Soot energy

As an aroace person, friend crushes are INSANE. And I don’t mean this like “oh I want my friend romantically” I mean like “I need to be this person’s friend so bad they are so cool!!!!” Like there’s this mutual I have on tiktok who I have been sending cat stickers to back and forth all day. The day we have an actual conversation about something will be the day I’ve won. Like is this how allos feel when they have romantic crushes on people???
