Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 - Tumblr Posts

Officially.

The Final of these arch is one of the best that I’ve ever seen in anime.

Like.

I’m happy for Dazai and Chuuya.... but OH MY GOD

this dialog between Fukuzawa and Fukuchi is one of the best written dialogs in anime.

Also their last fight ist stunningly staged.

I’ve never thought that these two old uncles can become my favourite characters.

I don’t even wanna see next season. Just let me stay with my sad lonely grandpa and his dead best friend at this airport until the end of time.

Ok, can someone please tell me why Chuuya didn’t kill Fyodor???

He was hanging out with him this whole time like a normal dude, he could have easily just let him drown....

I mean at first glance this whole plot twist: “turns out he wasn’t a vampire at all!“ sounds cool and hot, but then you start thinking and it actually makes no sense :/

If their goal was just to kill Fyodor and Dazai knew that his ability works only with touch SO WHY CHUUYA COULDN’T JUST SHOOT HIM??? So they LET him kill that poor cat-lady thief with time ability and (probably) Sigma too?

Just imagine .

*before the whole Meursault - prison - game - gay arch*:

Dazai: Hey, so can you like dress up like a sexy rocker vampire and come to pick me up from prison? Btw you will need to kill around 20 innocent bodyguards and pretend like you obey Fyodor’s orders.

Chuuya: Oh, cool, so then when we will be alone with Fyodor I can just shoot him?

Dazai: Mmmmm, no. It’s not funny at all. You will need to stay with him till the end, so he will think that he won. Oh, and also a couple of cool characters will probably die.

Chuuya: Okay.... so then I will kill him?

Dazai: Noooo, of course not, I believe that he will crash on a helicopter, but it will happen only if someone really small and cute will decide to sacrifice themselves... I actually have no idea who it will be.

Chuuya: .... so what’s the point of all of this?

Dazai: Well, I will say a cool speech about our partnership, a strong bond and loyalty to each other and also how I don’t care about your death at all. And youuuu will be able to “shoot“ me in the head. And I will break my leg. And dance with some guy with a cool haircut.

Chuuya: .... sounds good for me. I’m in.

So there are some bsd VAs comments in honour of the seasons finale.

I just love how:

Everyone: Thank you so much!! It was a great journey, thank you for your love and support. I love my character and now I understand them even better. Can’t wait for the next season!!!🔥🔥🔥

Fukuzawa’s seiyuu: So I bought a really cool TV.

Planning to prove that the whole Meursault arc was actually useless for the plot and Dazai literally did nothing ✌️

You won’t stop me.

Chuuya never having been a vampire is objectively hilarious

But it makes no sense

If he was never a vampire then why was Fyodor waiting for him to show up. He would have no reason to believe Chuuya would show up because he’s not a vampire. It’s not some secret info he would have been able to get from the other vampires at the prison because, and again I want to stress this fact, he was never a vampire to begin with

Also there’s no way Fyodor was actually fooled by some fake fangs and eye contacts. This is someone who can go toe to toe with both Dazai and Ranpo and who is also a fantastic actor himself who we have seen using disguises. He would have known.

And if Chuuya really was never a vampire then why didn’t he just kill Fyodor. Or at the very least not save him. He was in the perfect position. We already know he had a gun on him. And there are multiple times where Fyodor turned his back to him. He could have just shot him.

Not to mention the fact that it kind of ruins all the moments between skk. The abject horror at realising the person who knows you the most and you trust with your life is being used by the enemy to kill you. For their free will to be taken away. Being put in a position where you have to kill them to save the world.

Only for that never to have been the case.

I don’t know. I just feel like it was a weird choice.

BSD S5 E11 theory with spoilers (obviously)

Kind of a 2 in 1.

So l've been thinking about the last episode a lot over the past couple of days. Mostly about how unsatisfying it felt. It's been about 6 years since everything with the DOA started in the manga. That's 6 years of wondering what's going to happen. How are the ADA going to get out of this one. Are my favourite characters going to be ok.

Only for it to end up being that they where never in any danger to begin with.

It was all staged. Tanizaki and Kunikida would have been fine no matter what, all you had to do was unplug the machine. Chuuya was never a vampire to begin with. Dazai escaped the prison and got the antidote. Fyodor is finally killed. Everyone's fine. It was all just a convoluted set up.

But then that got me thinking. It all ended a little too perfectly.

Enter the book/page.

What if someone wrote in the book to help the agency so that everything would end happily ever after. The machines where dangerous. Until someone wrote in the book that they weren't. Chuuya was actually a vampire. Until someone wrote in the book that he wasn't.

And so on.

So then who would have access to the book/page. Well we don't know where the book is, that's what everyone is looking for. People most likely to actually know where it is would be Taneda and of course Natsume. Of those two Natsume is the most likely. We haven't seen him since the Canabalism arc and we know that he's always working behind the scenes to help out. So what was he doing while the agency was being framed?

But let's leave that as a possibility for now and move onto my second theory.

The page. Last we saw Fukuchi had it. So that leave's Fukuzawa, Ranpo and Teruko with easy access.

But here's what l'm thinking.

The otherside of the page was supposed to be written on that night. But if Fukuchi was already planning on dying then how would he do that?

The answer is he wouldn't. But you know who could? Teruko.

We already know she talked with Fukuchi before everything went down and that she was on his side. So what if Fukuchi gave the page to Teruko and told her what to write. Or maybe just gave it to her for safe keeping.

Either way Teruko would have the page. And what would you do if you where just forced to kill someone you love and you have the ability to manipulate reality. You'd try bring them back.

Enter weird Fukuchi from the end of the episode.

We already know that the book/page can bring people from inside the book outside the book because of Sigma. So what if in Terukos grief she wrote on the page for Fukuchi to be a live.

But because our Fukuchi was already dead it wouldn't make narrative sense for him to suddenly come back to life. So what if instead the book brought a different Fukuchi from inside the book into the main world.

Or if we're going of how the book works in Beast then main world swapped with a world where Fukuchi was alive. Which would also explain Akutagawas weird outfit.

Anyway that's my weird theory about the last episode. Guess we'll find out in like 2 years if l'm right or not.

TLDR: The ending of the last episode was weird and I think that either Natsume wrote in the book to help the agency or Teruko wrote on the other side of the page to bring Fukuchi back and that's why everything went to shit.

Something something Dazai and Fyodor both “losing” their right arm

Something something parallels

Something something Fyodor is definitely alive
