HAVE YOU SEEN CHAPTER 79 OF BSD?!
Yes!!! Everyone say thank you @akai-koutei, the hero the fandom needs.
It seems to be setting up for a final battle this arc (dare I hope we see Akutagawa?) but obviously, the chapter is mostly set up and a lot rides on who exactly “Kamui” (god) is and whether “erasing” the ADA is his ability or the book’s.
Mishima Yukio, the writer of The Decay of the Angel. Started a coup, which could be related to what he’s doing now.
Kawabata Yasunari, the first Japanese author to win a Nobel Prize. He committed suicide by gassing himself. He was friends with Mishima, and since we know there are two more DoA members, they might come together.
Rilke, which was suggested on Twitter for the way his works notably inspired Mishima and for the er, stunning resemblance here. His poems are great.
Tolstoy, for no other reason than no collection of Russian writers is complete without him and War and Peace as an ability. But to stretch things further, Tolstoy is known for exploring concepts of God in his works, and he got heavily religious in his later life. TBH he’s the least likely on this list and will probably appear in a later arc.
Honestly, I think the remaining DoA members are the first two, so Kamui is one of them. But I’m happy to be wrong.
But let’s get back to Sigma,who might not appear again for a bit. Through exchanging the information he most wanted to know with Atsushi, Sigma for the first time experienced a relationship that wasn’t transactional, but transformational. He most wanted empathy, which Atsushi gave him. It’s what his ability could be used for, rather than using him as essentially a safe vault of information.
Sigma seems to be a middleman for Gogol and Fyodor, a child who matters… I plan on writing another meta on Fyodor and Gogol and how they’re basically two sides of the same coin (they both represent aspects of Dostoyevsky’s Kirillov) with Sigma in the middle and, perhaps, key to them not destroying each other.
