Yukito Ayatsuji Another stim
x x - / x - x / x x x
ok I know ive been reblogging a lot of poll posts lately but i'm hoping if i campaign hard enough a BSD character will make it past like. round 1.
so anyway this post is some of my favorite panels from bungou stray dogs another story to convince you to nominate (and hopefully vote for when the brackets drop) Tsujimura and Ayatsuji in the @blueandyellowbracket!!
they’re both so pretty actually 💙💛
the fact that she actually made him coffee before realizing…
“WOMAN OF MYSTERY” LMFAO
god she’s such a dork I love her
Ayatsuji’s creepy doll basement that he has somehow hidden from the government despite living under government surveillance at all times…
the ongoing saga of maid dress Tsujimura… maybe one day
girl let him have his cool detective moment, don’t go to the forensic labs!
gaiden anon, i can only fall to my knees and pray that perhaps a monkey-shaped tsukimono whispers in your ear to look at tumblr and read this, but i just had a few more thoughts about how connected canon bsd really is to gaiden:
firstly, Agatha Christie and her ability, “then there were none.” and you might look quizzically at me and think, “what the ever-loving hell does she of all people have to do with a few random japanese ability users?” at which point, i will curl my fist into a point and start madly gesturing at “and then there were none.” tourists on an island. killed one by one by someone there. sound familiar? if not, i’ll enlighten you—that’s exactly the same mystery as the reigo island serial murders case. am i reaching far and assuming they’re connected at all when it could have been a matter of Asagiri borrowing the plot of a mystery novel to fill in details or even a simple coincidence? absolutely. do i care? no. and until proven otherwise, i will believe that Tsujimura and Christie are deeper connected in a way we don’t yet know.
secondly, Kyougoku. more importantly, Kyougoku and his identity as Puzzlemaker, and how before he tarnished his own reputation, he visited the ADA office and was locked in a building with Tanizaki. that feels important. and the architect reminds me a little of Fyodor himself, which i just wanted to add in… but given how Ayatsuji is familiar with the ADA and even met one of their agents (and i think the government knows that too?), it seems a lot more likely that Ango or some other high-up entity would consider Ayatsuji as a weapon during the vampire incident.
i’m crazy but i’m free.
(i’m not free.)
What should we do with Yukito Ayatsuji (Bungo Stray Dogs: Gaiden)?
Hug
Kiss
Marry
Kill
Ayatsuji and Tsujimura (the characters from Gaiden) are mlm wlw solidarity
I'VE ACTUALLY THOUGHT OUT EXACTLY HOW I THINK THE GAIDEN CHARACTERS SHOULD APPEAR IN THE MAIN MANGA IN DETAIL BECAUSE I'M SO ABNORMAL ABOUT THEM AND BASICALLY. Since Tsujimura's mother is mentioned as being the assistant director, and since Taneda is currently in a coma, it makes complete sense that she's currently running the entire Special Division from the shadows while the main director is incapacitated. And since it seems like she orchestrated Tsujimura's entire life to set her up for success in her footsteps (which is really sad actually but that's a different topic) (if you want to hear me talk about how tragic Tsujimura is to me though then just ask and I'll appear in your inbox with an incoherent essay), it also makes sense that she would have plans for Tsujimura now. So if it's been a year, her shadow ability might have grown back significantly, and the Special Division is probably using her more frequently than they did before. So with the arrival of the DOA, they need more helping hands, so she's probably pulling all-nighter after all-nighter trying to keep up. Since the vampire outbreak is dangerous, and so is Ayatsuji, I wouldn't be surprised if the Special Division moved him back into containment (it was mentioned that he was kept in a sort of jail before being let out into his office in the light novel). They're probably also making him work on the DOA case from behind bars, but I imagine it's proving to be difficult even for him because of the Book and stuff. But since it seems like the last 40-ish manga chapters have all occurred within the span of like 2 weeks, it's not surprising that Ayatsuji hasn't been able to crack the DOA case yet, considering how long he spent on Kyougoku. But basically. I think Tsujimura will show up eventually at the airport or something, Tsujimura's mother will be mentioned as being the current acting director, and, if we're lucky, the Special Division will whack out Ayatsuji to obliterate the DOA. But that would be too easy of an ending, so maybe Asagiri decided to vampirize Ayatsuji or something, and maybe the Special Division is using that as an opportunity to see how the vampiric virus affects people. So then that gives the Special Division more incentive to rescue Dazai and Aya + Bram, so that Dazai could nullify Bram's ability, thus freeing Ayatsuji and allowing him to bring things to an end. But Asagiri likes twists, so maybe it'll then be revealed that Fyodor is somehow immune to accidental deaths or something, and then there'll be some singularity tomfoolery, and maybe there'll be another moment where Ango explains singularities to people (and another opportunity for Tsujimura to learn about singularities). Sorry this is so long and rambly, but basically there's SO MUCH potential for Gaiden characters in the current timeline, but it's hard to predict exactly how their entrance will play out. Since Kyougoku is still haunting Ayatsuji, it's possible that Asagiri might whack out something like "Kyougoku used to work for the DOA", since it was mentioned in the light novel that Kyougoku used to collaborate with various agencies on tough cases before breaking away and deciding to go on an epic journey to achieve immortality through memery. Also wait I just remembered, there's that whole Interlude thing where Kyougoku reflects on his memories from the womb, which is an absolutely bizarre thing to include, and seems out-of-place from the rest of the light novel. Maybe he's somehow also related to the Book? Kyougoku would've died about a year and a half before the main manga, and Sigma appeared three years ago, so maybe Kyougoku had a hand in creating Sigma as someone to parallel himself? If I remember correctly, Sigma appeared alone in a desert with a train ticket (?) and earrings, which is really specific, and seems like the sort of elaborate plot Kyougoku would set up, considering the guy's love of symbolism and overarching themes. So what if Kyougoku had the Book first and created Sigma from it? (1/2, I'm so sorry for how long this is :'D)
my god. this is a lot of words /pos
so i haven’t actually read this whole message through yet and instead i plan on writing exactly how i feel reading specific sentences so. here we go!!’
I THOUGHT SO TOO!! it makes a lot of sense too because her ability is considered combat oriented, and like i mentioned before, it should hypothetically be grown back to size and completely free from Another’s persecution by now. i guess the big question is if Tsujimura-san will give the shadow back to guard Tsujimura, which would reveal she was alive, or she’d keep it to herself. obvi there are other options, like sticking it on someone else (say, Ayatsuji, who does need physical protection, or even Ango, who might have more enemies than she herself), but those two are what i think is most likely…
please tell me about how sad Tsujimura’s life is oh my god not a single person i know has read gaiden (for good reason GIVE US AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATION) and i would love nothing more than to brainrot with someone over it .. the whole, “i called my maid ‘mom’ and i wanted my mother to get angry, to fire her, to anything, but she didn’t even care, and that’s what hurt me the most” made me go OOOOOGHHHHHHH… OUCHHHHH… i’m summoning you, o divine Another Anon, to rant to me once again…
yeah, it’s def unlikely to me she’s just there and not doing anything, i myself have been wondering how she’s supporting the division, especially since Taneda, if anything, is her replacement rather than her being his secondary self. it would be cool if he ended up being locked in with Tsujimura-san, right? as far as security goes, that’s damn near the tightest place one can get.
also, it’s strange to me how nobody knows about Ayatsuji. they mention the ADA multiple times, but the ADA never talk about him. is the government keeping the secret on purpose? do people know and just feel removed enough considering they’re in different cities to ignore it?? but Ayatsuji would be a massive help to them, given his almost-Ranpo-level brains, so… it’s always been a source of confusion. at the least, wouldn’t Fukuchi know about him and take some precautionary measures, as someone who worked for the government and should therefore be aware of their literal number one danger?
similarly, Ayatsuji doesn’t exactly work for the government, so does that mean he knew the ADA weren’t terrorists…? to begin with, gaiden is a novel that exists because the fans wanted it to, and Asagiri only began writing after Tsujimura reached out to him, so it’s completely possible that gaiden and canon are two entirely separate entities to him, but i really don’t want it to be that way .. the intense urge to gatekeep Kyougoku and also share him to the world is wild….
thinking of Another and Crime and Punishment mingling together… the theories on CaP being unable to work on ability-users is very interesting, especially due to the evidence it has to back it up, and while Another does, thinking of how “accidental death” in this situation could be a synonym for “punishment” and thus negated by Fyodor because he and “punishment” are close friends … don’t mind me as i turn into a puddle on the floor….
without the context of Another, “receive immortality through memery” is a really absurd sentence, and i love it. BUT. Kyougoku potentially knowing Fyodor is interesting indeed… it’s so funny that his tsukimono is just haunting Ayatsuji… actually, every time i write about Ayatsuji, i also include Kyougoku saying random snarky things to him while he’s just living his life and him replying out loud knowing damn well nobody else can see it. hell, the man watches him when he’s sleeping, i wouldn’t put but past him to whisper absolutely obscene things into Ayatsuji’s ear in the middle of work just for fun, but we’re getting off topic.
the prospect of Sigma being a familiar spirit is actually very interesting and i haven’t it considered before, but hearing you now… hoho… i had always assumed Kyougoku’s little soliloquy a setup for the reader to understand his motives, but Asagiri is definitely the sort of person to do that only for a few years later to say, “you know this thing nobody read? it’s actually incredibly necessary to the lore haha.” that being said, gaiden’s afterword was a little unusual- most of the time Asagiri ends things with, “let us meet again in the next novel,” or “i hope you’re looking forward to what the future holds” or something like that, but gaiden was more like, “so here’s why i wrote this book also DAMN i got anxiety writing it,” so i dunno, i just want more gaiden content…..
now, onto the next rant you sent me
Hi!!! It’s me, Gaiden Anon! Alas, a tsukimono didn’t whisper into my ear, I just regularly check the bsd gaiden tag
So. Agatha could be further connected to Gaiden because Ayatsuji Yukito’s debut novel, The Decagon House Murders, is an homage to And Then There Were None. It features a bunch of college kids visiting an island and then getting killed off one by one, and it’s actually really good and the manga adaptation is a masterpiece. But I digress. Decagon House is also the first installment in Ayatsuji’s Mansion Murders series, which I’m pretty sure all follow various murders that occur at weird houses built by the architect Nakamura Seiji (I might be wrong because I’ve only read the first two novels, but those two feature three whole houses built by Nakamura, so it’s possible the others are also Nakamura houses). Nakamura houses all have weird tricks in them, like secret passages and stuff. And who else is an architect? Our beloved Archie from BSD. And random crack theory here, but if he’s based on Nakamura Seiji (a fictional character) and looks so distinctly inhuman, then it’s possible that he is some sort of ability lifeform or also born from the Book
Also I just remembered I owe you a ramble about how tragic Tsujimura is, so I’ll get around to doing that in the near future :)
—Gaiden Anon, your sibling in Gaiden insanity
haha, i feel like i should start calling you gibling (gaiden sibling)… /j
tbh, when i saw architect, my first thought was that he was awfully like Fyodor. that is to say, resorting to drastic means in order to try and make the world a little less “sinful.” that’s why his death was so upsetting to me—he was smart enough to pull something like that, dedicated enough to stick to it, caring enough to try, and naive enough to think it’d work.
honestly, given the new bsd chapter, they remind me even more of each other than before… i just want more architect content (god save us, gibling. us against the world gaiden-unknowing world…./j)
it’d be interesting if he was also from the book. his character design is a little reminiscent to Sigma’s? i like to headcanon them as siblings, sigh..
