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
SPOILER ALERT
My theory:
This is Atsushi's hallucination. Dazai telling him to wake up and Dazai's outfit is not his jail outfit, it's his agency's outfit (I miss it)
It makes sense because Dazai is Atsushi's mentor and where Atsushi seek advice.
Itβs 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.
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).
Dazai : sweet but psycho. psycho but sweet
Joking. He's not a psycho. He's the sweetest boy ever
Everytime I read this chapter, my heart hurts for both of them
Dazai tried to leave his life in mafia and start a new life at ADA as a person who wants to save people yet his past crimes preventing him to do so
And Ango wanted to atone his mistakes by helping dazai whenever he can. He felt guilty for oda's death.
They miss their days where they sit along, forgetting about their ranks or status, enjoying each other presence
I JUST CAN'T-
Is this real??? I'M SCREAMING AAAAAAAA ππππ
