My translation is approximate cuz I do not speak Japanese and I used translator!!!

Do you ever think in the absolutely devastating contrast between dazai’s reaction to odasaku’s death vs chuuya’s to the flag’s? About how Dazai is generally seen as cold and emotionless but odasaku’s death is one of the few moments in which Dazai shows pure, genuine, /unadulterated emotion/. One of the few moments in which he wasn’t the demon prodigy or this omnipotent being and just someone suffering because they just lost their best friend? About how chuuya is his opposite and is this giant ball of strong /loud/ emotions, about how he is by far the most expressive character in the whole story but when he saw his friends die, he had to keep a blank face? About how he consciously fought the urge to scream? About how he was falling apart but he /forced/ himself to keep his emotions at bay because he put albatross needs over his own pain? Detached, apathetic and always in control Dazai Osamu was overwhelmed by emotion and crumbling apart, meanwhile loud, expressive and impulsive Nakahara chuuya was forced into quietness. I just find fascinating that they showed completely different reactions of what they usually show to the world but is precisely that what makes this scenes hurt so fucking much.

Anyway, just a midnight thought

I really do wanna talk about Chuuya's tough guy act though because...it's something that could easily be mischaractarized as toxic masculinity except for the fact that it has nothing to do with gender roles. Chuuya isn't afraid to appear feminine except when people (re: Dazai) directly make fun of him for it. Hell, he respects the shit out of Kouyou and she's nothing but femininity.

But his inability to appear vulnerable or soft is directly a by-product of the "I am the strongest person therefore I have to act strong" mentality that he can't seem to let go of. It's funny because everything about it (unable to show negative emotions except anger, not letting people see him cry, the agressiveness, etc.) are all such Gender(tm) things but they're not about gender?? Idk I just find it facinating.

You are so homophobic! bungo stray dogs is gay! the real Dazai was bi therefor BSD Dazai is bi and loves chuuya! 😤

Show us where did we ever say he wasn't lol. In fact, we SUPPORT bi Dazai here.

But also irl authors don't have to have the same sexuality as their anime counterparts and nobody's sexuality was canonically stated. Keep your hcs and let others keep theirs 😉

"I get that he did kill Chuuya in the end but I really want to see how the death actually affected him."

Chuuya's death has not been confirmed yet, Their is still a chance he will survive. In fact everything Pretty much imply that he will. And based on SB afterword, yeah Chuuya is going to survive this.

Dazai doesn't like showing Chuuya that he cares, So, Only shows it when Chuuya is unconscious. or in the most subtle way possible.

"I just wanted to express both sides of the soukoku relationship to show that it isn't perfect."

Soukoku isn't perfect in the sense that it's toxic, These two Lack communication, Despite working very well in the battlefield. Chuuya fears Dazai because he doesn't want to become someone like Dazai an apath and nihilistic person. And Dazai doesn't like showing that he cares for Chuuya. So, Chuuya believes that he doesn't care for him.

Time for me to have a rant about bsd | Soukoku

Dazai's ability is No Longer Human, right? And Chuuya's ability is For The Tainted Sorrow and the other part of his ability is Arahabaki.

Arahabaki technically isn't human and has no emotions other than the desire for pure destruction. When Chuuya uses corruption and lets Arahabaki take over he is "No Longer Human". He has no human goals and no thoughts of his own. But when Chuuya uses corruption he has a sliver of why he activated it in the first place at least. But when he has finished what he started he continues to destroy everything in sight.

With Dazai's ability he can nullify other abilities. It's pretty useful to have but if it isn't given a proper purpose then it really has no meaning. Dazai's ability is called No Longer Human even though he doesn't know what it means to be human. He has no will to live and was depressed when he was part of the port mafia. This means that his life was For The Tainted Sorrow.

So my point is that Chuuya's ability is to do inhuman things like manipulate and control gravity along with creating impossible amouts of destruction. Dazai can't find a purpose and has no will to live. Even Oda couldn't teach him to value life.

It's canon that Chuuya's character was brought in to be Dazai's ex-partner and that Chuuya's ability would be the worlds demise without Dazai. Chuuya needs Dazai in order to know what it's like to feel...to be human. And Dazai needs Chuuya to take away his take away his tainted sorrow. To give him meaning.

When people say things like:

" Soukoku isn't canon!" and " They hate eachother."

They sometimes have a point. Everyone has the right to express their own opinion. It's true that Dazai wants Chuuya dead and constantly leaves him hanging. I can't count all the times Dazai either let Chuuya pass out from over using corruption or watched him rampage before actually nullifying it. Despite this Chuuya continues to trust him blindly. He claims to hate him but when it comes down to Dazai actually getting hurt he does everything in his power to save him. This proves that Chuuya doesn't really want him dead. It could be dismissed as:

" Well Chuuya knows that if Dazai dies he can't use his ability."

But we've all seen Chuuya's capability with out the use of gravity or corruption. Every time Chuuya goes to throw a knife at Dazai or stab him he misses. We know that if he wanted him dead he would have done it by now.

And when chuuya moves to choke dazai or pin him to the wall he bends his knees. He lets Chuuya do this even though he looks displeased. If Chuuya's hate could be brushed off as that he needs his ability then why would the writer and the animators spend so much time on their relationship.

Now that it's all been said, let's talk about Dead apple and ch101...

yes...

Dead apple is built around the relationship of Soukoku. Dazai Becomes in an alliance to kill all ability users but is double crossed and killed by Fydor. Everyone knew of Dazai's betrayal or knew he was dead but Chuuya wanted him back and knew it wasn't to late. He embodied Arahabaki to his full power for the first time even though there was nothing to garentee that Dazai could be brought back. The only thing to carry Chuuya was his faith and trust that he has for Dazai. We should know that this trust that Chuuya has for Dazai is much more than just a good friendship. Dazai isn't just a partner to Chuuya. He definitely loved him.

When Chuuya brought Dazai back and he brought them back to reality he knew what Chuuya had done for him. He's aware of Chuuya's feelings and Chuuya has even told him that he trusts him with his life. That could be why Dazai let Chuuya rest in his lap.

But for some reason when Dazai gets involved with Fydor again and tries to escape with Sigma he explains how he has been contemplating ways to kill Chuuya for 7 years. He even dances with Sigma when he thinks he'll be dead in 30 minutes. Not a very straight death wish but I'll let it slide.

He does kill Chuuya by drowning him and he and Sigma do escape. It makes me sad that when you think of how Chuuya never once questioned his love and faith in Dazai yet Dazai can turn around and do that. The only person we can confirm that Dazai loved was Oda. He knew how Chuuya felt and didn't give a shit. Dazai is confusing but what he's done to Chuuya from their first meeting to ch101 is just playing with the fandom and most importantly Chuuya's feelings.

I want them to have Dazai bring Chuuya back somehow. If the don't I'll probably stop watching. Remember what I explained in the first few paragraphs? What will Dazai be without Chuuya? I guess was a little happier and was well off without him. But still.

Dazai left Akutagawa and Chuuya after Oda died for Atsushi and Kunikida. Akutagawa expresses how this hurt him but Chuuya never shows his true feelings on the situation. I love Chuuya and I'm starting to hate Dazai for what he's done.
