And thus, to the Dazai we know today 🥺
The fact that Odasaku said that there's an unspoken rule in the mafia not to get involve with another member's personal battles then goes on to single out Dazai, saying it's different for him, that all the difficult things in his heart should be dragged out and stepped upon mercilessly
i have read some people saying that canon!dazai must know where the book is because of what happens in beast, but i don't think he does. (or if he does know, it's not because of beast).
at the end of the beast light novel, beast!dazai explains that he was able of knowing the truth about that world because he had canon!dazai's memories. this was possible because of no longer human, since it nullifies any ability (and we know the book is an unknown user's ability), and when the alternative world was created, with all the alters in it, beast!dazai ended up being different because of course he had different experiences, but he still had the same knowledge as canon!dazai: there is a book which can change reality, and there are people after it. it's like beast!dazai has a different life inside his head.
this however, does not mean that canon!dazai knows about beast!dazai, because he cannot exist in the outside, real world, unless someone in the real world finds the book and writes about a world where oda didn't die etc., only at that point canon!dazai would have beast!dazai's memories.
let's take what is happening in the manga as an example: doa wrote on the book's page that the ada members are murderers. this means that the universe in the book where the ada members really are murderers became real in the world outside the book, so everyone believes it, and the ada members have conflicting memories since they know they didn't do it yet they also have the memory of doing it (since they actually did it in the world inside the book).
in conclusion: beast!dazai has the knowledge of the real dazai outside, because the book/ability doesn't affect him (so he isn't really a different person, he basically shares everything with canon!dazai but has different experiences, which change his personality) but canon!dazai isn't even aware of his existence yet.
another terrifying thing is that every dazai in the book will know about every dazai in every world and he will always know his life is not the original (unless there's a world where dazai is not an ability user or has a different ability, then the book would affect him like everyone).
about the last part (4A) of the novel, when dazai says mori gave him a injection, it was meant to us to interpret like a vaccine maybe?
Yeah, it should be understood as a normal injection.
Dazai hurts himself all the time so I’m not surprised that Mori, as a doctor, has to give him shots sometimes to treat him.
Dazai is 22 y/o and Kouyou is 26 y/o so their age difference is 4 years. Her attempt to leave the mafia was when she was at kyouka's age so it was when she was 14 and Dazai was 10 at that time. What I want to say is : How did he know about the incident?
A) He already involved in mafia and underground so he knew almost everything about mafia. I'm lowkey saying that maybe he is the former mafia boss's son. *cough cough* Or someone similar to that. Seriously, he was 9 and small 🥺
B) He just know it from mori as he was mori's protègè. Mori told him about kouyou and all.
This is just one of the random things I noticed when I read the manga. Already noticed it long ago tho 😅 I know what I'm saying maybe wrong but I just want to say it.
Have you ever felt so excited, happy and content inside yourself that you just wanted to scream and you wanted to share that feeling with someone but you didn’t have that person. Like one day the anime or manga you most look forward to finally comes out and the episode or chapter is insane or the sudden happy news that you just want to scream. I have always had this many times.
Despite of how dark and suffering dazai's eyes are, I'm still thinking how hot he is in his mafia attire... His face here is just-
It’s been 9 years since the series start serializing. Wishing Asagiri, Harukawa, other manga artists, and staff involved congrats for reaching success thus far & keeping the story going.
He already wanted to die even before he met Mori and when they met, Mori use that as an opportunity to use Dazai, to make him a witness.
Here, I think that he just went along with what Mori want. And again, he looked really relaxed on that table as if that was a school table. The table, the situation, the wires, and that thing around his body (Idk), it doesn't fazed him at all. Like when Mori killed the boss. This gives more proof that Dazai did have dark life and background way before he met the underground doctor.
Make us more eager to know Dazai's past 😌
Happy birthday to this dorkiest and silliest character from BSD !
My wish for you is just for you to be the happiest character I've ever know ❤️
