thinking about [more or less] 16 year old dazai sitting on a bar stool at bar lupin for the first time, laughing at oda's outrageous experiences on his supposedly completely normal job, and thinking and wanting genuinely —possibly for the first time in his way too long already life— to have this night again . to live another night once more if it meant this

Odasaku and Dazai's relationship and why everyone is wrong about them.
There is a lot of discourse around exactly what the nature of Oda and Dazai's relationship is. They're father/son, brothers, mentor/mentee, lovers, soulmates, just friends etc. but in this post I am going to talk about how everyone is wrong. As far as I know there is not a word or term in the English language that accurately encapsulates the fascinating unique phenomenon of them.
First it is important to be aware of how the first five years of anyone's life is critically important. During this time neural pathways grow and develop at a rate like no other time in life. The more a child's needs are met at that time the more solid a foundation they have for growing and learning in the future. Something that triggered my post natal anxiety fiercely was reading that there are neural pathways that can never exist for your child if they miss out on certain experiences in those years. Stress is literally toxic and will have an irreversible effect on development.
With that in mind I am confident that despite the state of his childhood, later on Odasaku actually had a solid first five years of his life. At his core he is kind, nurturing, understanding and peaceful. We see in Side A, B, Dark Era and Beast, that even when he thinks it's a bad idea he will default to those traits. He could not be those things inherently without having had a positive first five years.
Dazai I would say had a fairly stable first five years but probably less so than Odasaku. If it was a scale of 1-5 I’d put them like this:
The first five years are just a foundation though, at any age (but the more before 25 when the frontal cortex is still forming the better) the right kind of connection can fire new neural pathways. By the right kind of connection it means feeling as if you are being heard, being seen, being empathised with etc. Oda and Dazai were missing those things significantly before they met one another.
Oda’s lonliness and isolation came from literal solitude and always being able to read and predict things because of his ability. Dazai’s is manufactured from the distance created by always being the cleverest in the room allowing him to read everyone and thing. The differences aren’t important though because they produce the same effect. They are each in a position no-one else in the world can understand, no-one until they meet each other that is.
So when they meet and interact they start having experiences they’ve never had before, needs they probably didn’t even realise they had started being met. And this is why their relationship is so incredible and why I think it so much more than the labels people try to reduce it to. They literally rewired one another’s brains, they opened themselves up to things it was impossible for them to know or experience before. Now with the nature of humans when you experience something like that you want more of it because it feels good, and as those positive interactions reoccur and reaffirm more neural pathways open up.
Something I recently learned about is “mirror neurons” and these are the parts of the brain that cause us to mirror the world around us to fit in. It can be as small as yawning because we see someone else do it or as big as the effect of mob mentality. The need to be seen, understood and recognised is a strong one. Before meeting Dazai is reflecting the mentality of the mafia but when he meets Odasaku, who is trying to live in a way that mirrors the ideals Natsume inspired in him, these new neural pathways and experiences cause them to start mirroring one another. The change is more noticeable in Dazai because the way Odasaku behaves is so very different from how he has been before.
So when Odasaku dies Dazai loses that connection, that affirmation, and all the wonderful positive things that came with it. This makes it the most natural thing in the world that what he would want to do is find a way to keep mirroring and experiencing it. How could he possibly go back to the way things were before? Therefore Dazai’s desire to do work that helps people, is less just because it was Oda’s dying wish and more Dazai wanting to keep those feelings he experienced alongside Odasaku going. As Dazai does this more new neural pathways are being created whilst reinforcing the best ones he got from Odasaku.
I can see why people have such different takes on Odasaku and Dazai’s relationship. In a more conventional upbringing the needs they are missing are typically met across all those different kinds of relationships. Being at school, interacting with family, making friends with peers, having a typical job etc. So of course people can see all those types of relationships between them and I wonder if people’s preference for the type of relationship they have in any way reflects their own needs and where they are met. However I would still argue that although they might cover all those relationship dynamics they are not one exclusively and that is why they are actually none of them.

I worry that the omnipresence of ygotas and just ygo shitposting in general will mislead some less informed viewers into believing this is a little fan joke/edit. He actually said this. This is canon dialogue for kaiba that Eric Stuart was paid money to perform.
