Dazai Osamu VS. Lain Iwakura

Who will win? (ROUND 1)

Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Lain Iwakura (Serial Experiments Lain)

Voting ended onJun 6, 2023

Dazai Osamu (also known by Osamu Dazai) is represented throughout the show with the typical "suicidal maniac" trope. Even from the beginning of the show, he is known to attempt to kill himself in silly ways, such as the first episode in which Atsushi saves him from drowning in a river, which we later find out that he threw himself in the river with the purpose to drown. Despite the silly persona Dazai plays, there are many moments in the show where he discusses his suicidal tendencies in a serious matter. In one of the conversations, he says that 'does not want to die, but rather to find a purpose to keep on living.'

Lain Iwakura (also known by Iwakura Lain) is a 14-year-old tech nerd with severe schizophrenia. She sees a therapist every month because she deals with severe hallucinations. Lain found a fascination in the internet and was able to transfer herself into the wired. Lain shows up in the clouds like a god over the entirety of Japan. Lain hooks herself up to wires in an attempt to become the internet. This attempt is successful, so she resorts to wiping everyone's memory to become a god.

excellent question! i tried to have as much diversity as possible on this bracket, but every character here was not personally submitted by me, but by other people!

also, while counting, there are about 9 women out of 32 contestants, which is (rounded down) 28%.

sorry for all these delays, but i'm happy to announce that the bracket will be released on the 31st! the only reason it wouldn't be released on that day is if we finally have enough money to take this tamed feral cat in our town to the vet so we can have them as our cat, but probably not!

i hope that my hard work doesn't disappoint you guys!

[mentallyilloftheyear]

hello! sorry for not updating much, as i have been VERY busy! the end of school is soon and that means A LOT of testing! i'll be pushing back the estimate of when the bracket is out to may 25th! ty for your support btw!

[mentallyilloftheyear]

happy birthday to me and happy end of submissions day! the bracket SHOULD come out on the 10th of next month but if there's a chance for delays, especially unexpected, to happen, i'll just release the brackets as soon as i can!!

[mentallyilloftheyear]

thank you all for the support on this bracket, and i have an important announcement!

in 2 days, the submissions will close!

stated on the original rules post, it states that submissions will end on the 30th, and today is the 28th!

i'll post when the bracket itself will be released on the 30th, as i'll need some time to set it up and assure fairness before releasing it :D

mentally ill of the year form >:3

make sure to submit any characters you want while you still can!

[mentallyilloftheyear]

What are some goofy submissions you've received?

great question! i have some answers to that :3

the first answer i'll have to say to this is the submissions from my friends where the reasoning to their submissions is "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE" 😭😭

another one isn't much about the character or reasoning but the media the character is from. apparently there is a game called "Super Lesbian Animal RPG" which is something i will definitely play in the future upon my discovery of it

yet another one is for nikolai from bungou stray dogs in which the person submitting said, and i quote, "unhinged and also look at him????😭"

he is a bit silly.....

another one is garfield (the fat cat). if you read the reasoning for why then you would agree.

and lastly is "Me" from "Real Life" and the reasoning is "I have autism and ADHD I think that's enough" which is fair. lets hope they win yall
