OH ARE WE READY TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION?
ARE WE UNLOCKING MY KUNIKIDAZAI BRAINROT TONIGHT?
LET'S GO
Okay so except for the first one, these will mostly be out of order because I love them all equally and I don't have enough braincells to organise my thoughts.
1) Iconic soulmates partners. As a surprise to no one, the moment that made me go from "hehe they bicker like an old married couple they are kind of cute" to "oh my god these bitches deadass soulmates" is my favorite moment for them. I love everything about this scene, the music, their expression, the animation, but especially the build up. So far, we've seen these two bicker a lot in the show, and although they always get the work done, Atsushi begins to wonder if they really work as partners. And in this arc, there is a lot of tension between them, we really see the difference not just between their personalities, but between their philosophies as well. It's mostly a good thing because they challenge each other and keep each other in check, but it also leads to a lot of arguing. And yet ... and yet when shit hits the fan, when the final countdown is on and everything seems lost ... these two are in perfect synch and know exactly what to do. There are barely any words exchanged between them, and yet they understand each other perfectly. In just a few seconds they switch positions and save the (and each other). And this when Atsushi gets it. These two are best partners because despite their differences, when it comes down to it ... their bond is the strongest thing they have.
2) Worried bf. So many of these moments are from the Azure King arc and I'm not ashamed. This one is very simple but there's just something about Kunikida recklessly rushing to save innocent people dying and Dazai IMMEDIATELY holding him back because he knows that Kunikida could actually hurt himself trying to help others if no one stops him ... yeah. This is a moment that really highlight how different their philosophies are why it's important. Kunikida is willing to do anything if it means he can save just one person, and we saw many times that he is always ready to sacrifice himself for others. Dazai is a lot more pragmatic and detached, but he is learning to care about others as well, so he is the perfect balance for Kunikida's saviour instinct. I also said before that it frustrates me when Dazai is portrayed as always calm and smug and on top of everything, so I love seeing him worried about Kunikida because he knows he can't control him.
3) Paper rock scissors debacle. We love boyfriends who share everything <3 even their braincell. I don't have anything deep to say about this one except that I love when Kunikida and Dazai are just being silly together. The fact that this all happens during a fake scenario for Atsushi's entrance exam makes it even better. Like, they just COMMITTED so hard to their roles. I love them.
4) Yearning Dazai. This isn't really (1) moment in particular but just ... Dazai always being so desperate to get Kunikida's attention all the time ... like okay Dazai we get it you want to pin him against a wall and kiss him like okay WE UNDERSTAND. Look at this disaster of a man holy shit.
5) Yearning Dazai Delux Edition. I cherish the Kunikida OVA with my whole ass heart and that ending where Dazai goes on a long rant about why Kunikida is so amazing and the best to be the next leader lives rent free in my head at all time. This idiot is so in love I swear to god.
