My Opinion On Every Single Bungou Stray Dogs Ship

Part One- Het Ships I

If you’ve followed me on Tumblr or Instagram for any amount of time you will have heard me trash talk certain ships (and shippers), and also have heard me say stuff like “I don’t really like any of the popular ships” “I don’t care about most ships from this fandom”. But ever want to know what I truly think of them? Probably not. In this series, I will be going through the list of ships on the Wiki and giving a detailed opinion on each and every one. Yes, even the crazy ass ones like Atsushi x Chazuke. I’ll be going in the order that is on the website.

Akipoe/ Akiko Yosano x Edgar Allen Poe: This is a ship? I haven’t heard about it in the nearly four years I’ve been around this fandom. Okay. It’s weird because it’s like someone took the two most popular people to ship Ranpo with and then took him out of the equation. It’s giving no purpose but to be random. Even in an ot3 it would be dumb, but let me hold off on that because that’s for a different ship opinion. They never interact in canon, but I think they’d be chill with each other since they have a mutual friend. But they wouldn’t be anything more than acquaintances. 1.25/10

Akuhigu/ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa x Ichiyo Higuchi: As much as one member of this ship ships it, I will never be able to ship it. It’s not healthy. #higuchideservesbetter Maybe in a canon divergent scenario… but even then I don’t think they’d work. I don’t believe in the “total opposites attract” theory. I hope Asagiri doesn’t decide to do that thing some writers do, where they seemingly get tired of their work and at the end, just go “this character likes this other character, even though it was always one-sided, let’s make it happen and they get together at the very end in the ‘epilogue’ that shows where they are a few years later”. 0/10

^her honest reaction to that information

Akukyou/ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa x Kyouka Izumi: The only reason I know this ship exists is because when I first watched BSD I was scrolling through someone’s account and she mentioned a year back (2019) she shipped this years before (2016) and then questioned her past self’s sanity. The people who ship this are 14-year-old girls who like Akutagawa and are using Kyouka as a self insert. -3/10

Akulucy/ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa x Lucy Maud Montgomery: I’m also surprised this is a thing. I saw some fanart of these two in a romantic context a few years ago because the Japanese VAs for the characters married each other, but I haven’t heard of this as a legitimate ship. But I have seen more ot3 art with Atsushi. Now that I think about it… these two aren’t half bad as a ship, as random as it may seem. I’m looking some stuff up of them, and I think they have enough similarities and differences that they could work. But Lucy does have a crush on Atsushi. It’s a good thing BSD ain’t a romance anime otherwise this could turn love-triangley real fast. 5/10 EDIT: I have been won over and am now an Akulucy shipper. I know they won’t be canon, so it’s not a serious ship for me. But it’s still fun to think about (if they meet under the correct circumstances only then it would work). New ranking 7/10

Where have we heard something similar🤔

Amasawa/ Tatsuhiko Shibusawa x Agatha Christie: I’m also surprised this is a ship. But maybe it’s not that unusual since they’re both characters from Dead Apple. Still really random though. There’s not any basis for it. Also, wouldn’t this be called Agasawa? 1/10

Angomura/ Ango Sakaguchi x Mizuki Tsujimura: This is probably less random if one has read the Another Story light novel, at least that’s what I’m assuming. I have not read it and so I do not know anything about Tsujimura that was not in Dead Apple (so nothing). I don’t feel qualified enough to rank this because of that. -/10

She looks cool though

Atsuhigu/ Atsushi Nakajima x Ichiyo Higuchi: This ship reads like it was created by someone who does not ship Akuhigu but thinks it’s going to be canon, but they don’t like Akutagawa while they do like Atsushi, so they went “I want Atsushi to steal his girl!” If that’s not the case, I don’t know how this was created. They met once and Higuchi insulted Atsushi’s looks 💀 Personality wise I think they’d get along. I don’t see it romantically though. 2.5/10

Atsugin/ Atsushi Nakajima x Gin Akutagawa: This ship makes me teehee evilly. “I ship Atsushi x Akutagawa!” “Atsushi and Akutagawa are going to end up together!” Alright well, be careful what you wish for 😈 If there’s some build up later on and it’s NOT out of the blue, I would love to see Asagiri go “aight, bet” and make them end up together at the very end of the series. I would bathe in the tears of SSKK shippers as I laugh. Despite all that, I don’t exactly ship this. It would be kinda funny in universe too. But I don’t think they’d work. We don’t know enough about Gin though, so I can’t say I like or dislike this until we get to see her a little more. 3/10

Me watching everyone else if there ends up being some build up to the ship and it becomes canon

Atsukyou/ Atsushi Nakajima x Kyouka Izumi: The way this ship gets completely overlooked makes me not fw y’all even more. The age gap is big AT THE MOMENT. Four years won’t be a lot in just a few years. If you want a ship to be endgame, you want them together for life, a four year age gap is nothing the older you get. Stop thinking of the present and look to the future! Plan ahead! Kyouka does not view Atsushi as a brother she has a crush on him her feelings are literally paralleled to Lucy’s! WAKE UP PEOPLE. Even if you don’t ship them when they’re a little older ADMIT THE TRUTH. THERE’S AN ENTIRE SPREAD DEDICATED TO THEM LOOKING AT EACH OTHER’S EYES WHEN THEY FIRST MEET. The anime adapted it so that everything was blacked out in the background and cherry blossoms were floating through the air! That’s totally what happens when future adoptive siblings meet 🙄Totally. Totally. AAAAHHHHHH. Anyways, they’ll be great together and this is really the only ship I have in this series and because I don’t want them with each other until they’re older it’s not even a current ship but a future ship. 10/10

Atsulucy/ Atsushi Nakajima x Lucy Maud Montgomery: They’re cute together but they wouldn’t work long term. I don’t know how to explain it. If someone else does feel free to add. I do like seeing some (some) of the content people make for this. But at the end of the day, it’s just not it. I don’t know what it is that, even seeing how they’re cute and could work short term, I still don’t have feelings for this ship. My heart is not in it. Maybe it’s because I don’t like the tsundere trope, even if it makes sense in Lucy’s case since she was mad at him for forgetting her after she saved him. 4.5/10

Unrelated to the gif but they’ve also seen each other naked 😳

Atsuteru/ Atsushi Nakajima x Teruko Okura: Why is Atsushi getting all the ladies, what’s happening here? I didn’t know about half of these ships. Do people actually ship this? Probably not anymore after finding out she’s literally twelve 💀Hey, for the majority of your life a six year— oh that’s right, twelve years is her life’s majority. Oh well, better luck next time to anyone who shipped this. Although why you would based off what their limited interactions were 🤷🏽‍♀️ -1/10 EDIT: I saw that there was a translation error that made it seem like she was 12 years old but actually she was 12 when Fukuchi found her, which we don’t know the exact date because it said after the War, and the timeline is a little messy. But I do assume she’s an adult now, even if we don’t know how many years ago she was 12. (Asagiri please bring back the character info sheets 🙏🏽)

Atsuwells/ Atsushi Nakajima x Herbert George Wells: Her name is NOT Herbert George… is it? Herberta Georgia? Asagiri we need answers. Also I imagined her as being 28, but we don’t have a canon age. Maybe as a future ship this could work? If only we knew more of her character. I can’t say one way or the other about this, but I hope Wells shows up again. 2.5/10

That’s all for this section, I was essentially live reacting to these as I went down the list. I hope you found it interesting &/or enjoyed it!

opinions on ranpoesano and akipoe? also if you have fanart of them plz i beg there’s literally nothing anywhere :’)

When I tell you I have intense emotions regarding the Yosano/Poe/Ranpo ship, I’m saying I have intense feelings. 

(Here are some headcanons here. Oh, and here.)

Anyone who’s been following me knows I adore Ranpo and Yosano, as well as Poe and Ranpo. Especially with the factors that led to Yosano’s eventual recruitment into the Detective Agency. And that whole Poe vs Ranpo had no right going as hard as it did. (Really, its that episode’s fault I’m trapped here.)

In honour of reawakening my adoration, here are some of my favourite headcanons (because I have no self-control.):

Ranpo and Yosano canonically have a lot of respect and affection for one another (once again, I beckon to the Poe vs Ranpo episode) and I do believe Ranpo is one of the few individuals who, from that start, has asserted that he sees Yosano’s genuine character. 

Which leads me to the conclusion that, with her reputation, Poe would be absolutely terrified of Yosano once he recognizes trapping her in his book is an insufficient strategy. 

(Ranpo is quick to rectify this - but not before embellishing Yosano’s terror far beyond conceivable limits. Poe, bless his little heart, has already thrust every bit of his trust in Ranpo’s conniving ass.)

Ranpo and Yosano already had a relatively ambiguous relationship (because I chose to read it as such) but the more time Poe spends with either, the more clear it becomes. 

Ranpo already spends a significant amount of time hanging out with Poe, whether dipping by his house every two seconds or dragging him out on snack runs. It makes sense that Yosano finds her way over, more often than not. 

Poe’s concerns are alleviated by Yosano’s company - she’s gentler than she seems, though more than willing to call Ranpo out on his crap. Karl likes her, too. 

Yosano's more likely to call Ranpo out on his bs, while Poe reguarly enables. Salt instead of sugar for Kunikida's coffee? Poe and Ranpo are likely the culprits.

(Which is why when Yosano joins in it gets serious)

She and Poe also enjoy fashion  and luxury. They'll go shopping together on a regular basis. (Sometimes Ranpo is allowed to tag along, but they lost him once so now he requires strict supervision.) ((He got caught up playing on the claw machine.))

Poe gives off major film buff vibes, while Ranpo certainly doesn’t have the attention span for movies. Yosano is somewhere in the middle. The main appeal of movie nights, for her, are the snacks and drinks. When Ranpo started complaining about Poe’s insistence on films every time they hang out, Yosano volunteered to take his place. 

Believe it or not, Poe’s probably the most well-adapted to a romantic relationship. He’s quicker to realise his feelings are romantic, that he likes both Yosano and Ranpo and he has a feeling they like each other. 

The issue with Poe is he’s also likely to get trapped in his head, and he second guesses something as humiliating as voicing this out loud. (Besides, in his head, they’d probably reject him anyway.)

And Yosano, for all her maturity, isn’t inclined to bring this up. She hasn’t been in a romantic relationship for quite some time, and any experience she does have is tainted from her past. 

And Ranpo is... well, Ranpo. He doesn’t want to open up, and he refuses to acknowledge this. 

Three idiots walk into a relationship without really discussing it. 

Yosano and Ranpo are already comfortable with one another - casual touches at work, Yosano’s feet in Ranpo’s lap, etc. When Poe becomes part of the equation, he finds himself sinking into this contact like breathing. Yosano holds his hand, and sometimes, Ranpo fiddles with his hair. Poe is quick to initiate a hug, lay his head on bony shoulders. 

Hands on shoulders become hands on hips, hands on cheeks, and lips brushed against vulnerable skin. Yosano comes to these slowly, Poe embraces them with vigour - touch repulsed and touch starved. Ranpo lies somewhere in between, hesitant to initiate but comfortable when he doesn’t have to take control. 

It’s quiet, it’s intimate, and it’s theirs. No one else is invited, inquiries never humoured. Just three people who come to one another and settle into something too heartfelt, too weighty for words. 

(It sounds something like “I love you” but they don’t say that either.)
