They're trying to ignore the fact Dazai just spouted two confessions in under thirty minutes, the embarrassment is REAL

*SPOILER WARNING CHAPTER 112*

Something is really off about Fyodor's death in the manga

Having just read the latest chapter, I noticed something really weird with Fyodor death scene. It all comes down to Dazai's reaction.

Before Fyodor "death" we see Dazai being all smug and gloating about what Fyodor missed, very typical of his character in general.

But then his mood suddenly shifts completely

He suddenly becomes very sombre, no triumph or gloating, this could be him regretting having to kill Fyodor, but the next few panels make me think there's more too it then that.

Look at Dazai's expression here, the way he seems so suspicious of the hand

I don't think we've ever seen Dazai's eyes like this, they are blank white, it's almost like his mafia eyes but colour inverted. This is not the face of someone who just beat their greatest enemy, or someone mourning their loss, It looks like Dazai is unsatisfied, I can't quite describe it, but there is something more in those eyes.

After Fyodors death Dazai is uncharacteristically quiet and Chuuya even points it out, again, nothing about this says "we won!" it feels like we still lost somehow.

So why would Dazai not want Fyodor dead? While it could be because he was sad to lose the only person who thought like him, while that's possible, I want to explore another idea.

Death did not stop Fyodor.

Dazai could have killed Fyodor when he had him cornered in the cafe if he wanted to, or have someone else kill him so he doesn't break his promise to Oda.

But he didn't, he let Ango arrest him instead, even though Dazai knew what a threat he was, why?

It all comes down to this.

The only way Dazai can counter Dostoyevsky is when he's right there in front of him. So now he's dead, Dazai can't read his actions any more. It's like he's fighting a ghost, all the plans Fyodor will have laid in case he died will be 10x harder to uncover and stop since it's much harder to fight an invisible enemy.

Remember that Dazai did not order the piolet to kill Fyodor, Bram did, and Dazai admitted to not having any say in that deal

.

I don't have any final point here, I just wanted to vent these thoughts. Does Fyodor quoting jesus on the cross mean he's going to come back in three days? What's going on with Sigma? I have way more questions than answers and it's driving me nuts

so now that chapter 112 is out can we appreciate the fact that Chuuya barged into the head of the PM's office with a set of fake teeth in his hands, asking for help like a child requesting assistance on tying his first tie, and Ruthless Murderer Mori Ougai looked this poor short man dead in the eyes and immediately decided to completely ruin his subordinates day for no reason other than he thought it was funny

"Everywhere through the web of sorrow of which our lives are woven there may suddenly break a clear, radiant thread of joy."

Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls, Chapter V

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Fukuchi and Fukuzawa’s conflict started when Fukuchi asked Fukuzawa to take on a role that he had no desire to take on and did not believe in, and ended with Fukuchi forcing Fukuzawa to take on a role that he had no desire to take on and did not believe in

[jounosparticles]

one thing i really like about fukuzawa and fukuchi is how they still look at each other and talk to each other with such fondness despite everything that’s happened.

there’s very little anger however a ton of sadness between their interactions as the DoA plot rolls out.

when fukuchi was seen as nothing but evil yet fukuzawa still couldn’t kill him. logically he needed to but his own heart couldn’t take the pain of losing someone he cares for so heavily. i find it displays fukuzawa’s humanity well.

the man who always tries to do what’s right even if it’s the hardest decision suddenly can’t because he’s so conflicted. he can’t keep confronting his best friend.

he can’t kill this. they were both so happy and full of life not that long ago.

they even take the time to reminisce on those memories. it’s like the subject is being changed to avoid the inevitable.

look at the way they sit as they talk. fukuzawa having very closed posture since he does not want to have this conversation. fukuchi having open posture because he knows he’s doing what is best.

it really shows how a long bond can really change your perspective on a person.
