Fyodor's Ability.
-by Nix
Crime and Punishment is treated throughout the events of BSD as a "enigmatic" ability, and for good reason.
The general base the fandom seems to have taken is that "Crime and Punishment" boils down to "Fyodor touches you, you die."
Which then again leads people to concentrate on that aspect of Fyodor's life as the reason he's so poorly cared for or in such frail relationships. While I definitely think Fyodor's ability is a big part of why he's physically avoided, his own management of his personality and character is a bigger issue he's in poor human relations.
So far, in my Psychological analysis for Fyodor I listed traits that were formed not because of his ability, but as a result of his own reaction to what his ability meant. Long story short Fyodor's ability is his entire life long monster-- of his own making.
There are arguments to be made that 'Crime and Punishment' is not faulty or impossible to deactivate like 'No longer Human'.
There are plenty of instances where there is no room for speculation on that aspect.
First let's establish one thing, Crime and Punishment is not limited or influenced by layers of clothing. It is NOT a 'skin-to-skin' type of ability and this is confirmed as a fact.
In the scene of Fyodor's arrest, one of the officers grabs his wrist, which ends up killing him.
The dead giveaway to clothing not restricting Crime and Punishment is that the officer in question wore thick tactical gloves, much like all the others.
(Tactical gloves are used for wrist/ hand protection while also allowing a large range of motion and not limiting dexterity when it comes to shooting)
With this in mind, I draw your attention to one of the 'plot hole scenes' that confirms 'Crime and Punishment' is a controlled ability that Fyodor can hold back.
Mori's stabbing.
In this particular scene, we see Fyodor stab Mori in a sure-fire but hidden way, by shoving his own body against the other's.
To the point where Fyodor's entire arm's length was pressed to Mori's chest/abdomen.
This was a controlled contact, as clothes don't stop Crime and Punishment, Fyodor must've. Concluding it isn't just permanently 'on' or 'active'.
The other option is that the ability itself alternates much like a signal, sometimes it's active, other times it isn't and alternates at random, instances which Fyodor takes advantage of, but there's nothing to back this up as of yet, it is only a theory.
The other plot hole I'd like to draw your attention to is Fyodor's lock-up. When we see him restrained, Either in the manga or anime, Fyodor wears either something similar to a straight-jacket or is simply bound by belts.
It would've been physically impossible for Fyodor to restrain himself in either of these two chairs. That is to say, someone must've touched him, and they must've stayed alive long enough to finish buckling up all the restraints.
The other possible theory is that Crime and Punishment resumes itself to Fyodor's hands/wrists. That again is nothing but a theory, but we've only ever seen the ability take effect through Fyo's hands.
Another thing to mention I found quite odd- all kills made by Fyodor using his ability are with his left hand only up until now.
While in Dead Apple- Crine and Punishment had a red glowing gem only on his right hand.
Maybe each hand does smth different? One is literally Crime the other is Punishment?
Idk
That's all for now this was a 8 am rant-
Extra Note:
In Dead Apple, when Fyodor monologues as to how his ability does not leave him in the fog, there's a very important thing I wish everyone to Note.
'Crime and Punishment' walks alongside Fyodor.
Fyodor is holding a skull specifically in his left hand (the aforementioned hand that he uses to kill people through his ability. Fyodor has only ever killed with 'Crime and Punishment' using his left hand)
'Crime and Punishment' holds an apple with it's right hand, with it's back to Fyodor, creating a mirror effect.
Fyodor's Ability perfectly mirroring him, alongside the fact it doesn't depart from him through the effects of the fog can mean one of two things:
1. Fyodor holds an ability with the word 'and' between two individual terms (Crime AND Punishment), something completely unique to him. No other known ability is composed of two separate terms connected together by "and". That could be potentially interpreted as one single ability that behaves in two separate halves.
For example, what if one hand is Crime? (Left, as represented by Fyodor multiple times)
And the other is Punishment ? (Right, represented in Dead Apple, where Crime and Punishment mirrors Fyodor, while the gem is exclusively on the right hand and both Fyodor and his ability share this dialogue:
Fyodor: I am Crime.
Crime and Punishment: I am Punishment.
Which leads me to point 2.
2. Fyodor is the completion to his own ability. Hypothetically, Crime and Punishment is exactly as stated above, only Punishment and the Crime is actually added on to complete it by the human possessing it, so that:
Humanity is really the Crime, and his ability? Only the Punishment. As stated in Dead Apple.
Idk it's fun to analyze ♡☆

This is so them
Pickle juice in a mason, that I uncovered in my cold box
Hear me out!
Y'know how there's a running joke that ao3 authors/writers will put in the author's notes that they're sorry that they took so long to update and their reason is because of either they got into a horrible accident/ life threatening health issue/serious personal issues/ their life went up in flames figuratively or literally, or somehow a combination of all of those scenarios. And they're all like "Well enjoy the chapter! tee-hee!" and everybody who's reading it all collectively go "are you okay?!" (aka the ao3 writers curse)
So I want to take this, and add Danny
Danny begins taking a liking to the classic literature that Mr. Lancer talks about during class and decides to writes a fanfic about it along those lines. It all starts for when he writes a Pride and Prejudice fic where Charlotte gets a better life where she's both happy and comfortable. And when he gets pretty supportive comments about it. He starts writing fics for other books as well (and it never stops)
During that time, who else but the Jane Austen fan, Jason Todd reads this fic. Yes he reads fanfic (do not ask him about his ao3 history), he yearns for more Jane Austen, but unfortunately she's not exactly able to write more books for him to read. So he turns to ao3 where there are some people who have incredible talent for writing pretty good regency era romance.
So what happens when he finds a couple of Pride and Prejudice stories written by " HalfDeadHalfAliveWriter
And when reading through the stories and looking at the author's notes.
All with very weird scenarios happening to the writer that he can't be sure that if it's a joke or if it's an actual thing he should be very worried about.
Author's notes such as:
Sorry it took so long for me to update this I was being shot at by my parents and ended up getting a burn on my hand and couldn't use my computer for awhile.
Sorry the chapter's so short, all the people in my town are being possessed by a hoard of angry ghosts because somebody had a bright idea to steal an artifact that belongs to an ancient civilization. So I had to get this out quick before they ruin my wifi connection
Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I had to fight off a crazy guy that is obsessed with killing my father so he could marry my mother and become my new stepfather.
Sorry for the wait I got sent back to Ancient Egypt by my mentor to hunt down a runaway ghost that was messing with time.
But honestly the most recent author's note on a fic that hadn't been updated in week is what makes Jason really worried.
Sorry for not updating for a couple months guys, I was taken by a government agency that started vivisecting and torturing me. Thankfully my sister and friends busted me out and now I'm working on healing up. Anyway here's the Great Gatsby fic where Nick and Gatsby kiss.
After reading that author's note, Jason just sits there thinking only one thing.
What the fuck?
"I am the last librarian on Earth. The world has forgotten how to read, but I guard the knowledge of humanity in a hidden vault. Today, someone knocked on the door—and they brought a book."
Hahahah I would do this
