How Did Fukuzawa 'Sense' that Kunikida is Alive after his Bombing?
In Chapter 71, Fukuzawa says this when Fukuchi offers to tell him what happened to Kunikida after his kamikaze bombing.
At first I thought, ‘ Is this that tropey Kung Fu Sensei is in touch with the Universal Force’ bullshit ?
But then I realised that since Fukuzawa can control his subordinates’ ability power (like suppressing Atsushi’s tiger transformations and bringing Demon Snow under Kyouka’s control), that must mean he can sense their ability power too. If anyone of of the ADA died, their ability force would vanish. Or if an ADA member were dying or critically injured, their ability power would be extremely weakened.
Major spoilers for 55 minutes ahead ! :
We saw in 55 minutes that when Dazai dies, there is a moment where his brain stops working and so his nullification vanishes.
Extrapolating this further : since abilities are tied to the soul - if say Atsushi were on the brink of death or in terrible danger, his survival instinct (as others have said) represented by the Tiger would go into a state of feral panic. If a non - suicidal Kyouka were in such a state, Demon Snow would go into frantic overdrive. A dying Yosano would be trying hard to heal herself, unless she intended to sacrifice herself as in chapter 66. Fukuzawa's ability helping others to control their own is basically a metaphor for him being sensitive to their emotions and issues and helping them with their problems. This could mean that since emotions affect the soul symbolised by their abilities acting up, Fukuzawa can detect their intense emotions.
So that’s why Fukuzawa was rather calm and unhurried throughout the Cannibalism, DoA and Hunting Dogs arcs. He knew that his subordinates were still alive and well enough, because 'as long as one ADA member survives, the Agency will be revived.'
Unfortunately he can't do the same with Dazai and Ranpo.
