bsd part 2 predictions what are we thinking

[skkfujoshi]

Tachihara on my mind so y’all get to pay the price

If he’s still alive(unlikely,but delulu has brought us far in this fandom) I want Yosano to heal him and give him his sight back.I think it’d honestly be a nice full circle moment for them both.

[grantors-of-dark-disgrace]

I think we haven't seen Yosano in a while and she's in France, on a helicopter to Mersault to kill then revive Sigma to get around the coma thing so he can tell Dazai all of Fyodor's secrets.

every now and again i’m like hmmm. what if bsd ends in a way the segues into Beast. and i can’t make up my mind as to whether or not i’d like that

[karmicpunishment]

bsd 118 spoilers and predictions for future

i knew we’d be seeing more and more ally deaths but god i wasn’t prepared for how sad they’d make me even though i know they’ll be back

kenji and tecchou fighting together is wonderful i love their combo move

lucy and kyouka are back!!! they might die next chapter (or at least kyouka) but i will enjoy seeing them while i can

so excited for the official translations of certain pieces of this chapter

atsushi is reaching new levels of devestation every chapter :-((

FYODOR AND ATSUSHI FINALLY MEET FACE TO FACE!!!! at last!!

the way he’s speaking and looking at him…its practically gentle and i hate it

i predict he’ll try to get him on his side? or maybe share more lore next month (can we find out about how fyodor knew about atsushi before everything??? please I’m begging)

for next chapter i think we’ll see another duo (maybe trio?) arrive of yosano + either jouno or tachihara or both, and then probably get slaughtered 😔 if jouno appears he’ll reunite with tecchou since he’s still alive so far

i think we’ll also check back in with aya and akutagawa next month

i don’t think we’ll see mersault until december or january at least

before we catch up to sskk vs fukuchi pt2 where the anime left off we’ll be seeing all agency members and hunting dogs die

BSD Theory - The DOA's Objective

I’m super excited to be able to theorize about this since I joined the fandom late and haven’t read the manga. Lots of spoilers, so this is continued under the cut.

My theory

I think the DOA (mainly Fukuchi) wants to use the book to re-write history so that abilities don’t exist at all, and never did. 

Fukuchi’s motivation

In the recent episode, there were a lot of flashbacks hinting that the formation of the DOA and its true objective can be traced back to Fukuchi’s time serving in the Great War. Fukuzawa guessed that his goal was revenge, but he said that wasn’t true. I think that when Fukuchi witnessed all that horror, he realized that the existence of abilities would only fuel the endless cycle of war. Revenge is such a future-focused concept; it implies that the past cannot be changed, only dwelled on. Fukuchi’s goal is more solution-based. If he were somehow able to get the book and rewrite the world so that abilities never existed, he would both end future suffering and reverse the suffering that has already been inflicted. 

Big risks aren’t actually that risky

This theory would also explain why the DOA is so nonchalant about killing people— if their plan succeeds, those deaths will be overwritten anyway. They’ve been almost reckless with their moves, like they aren’t thinking long-term. They’re able to make such bold moves because they’re betting on their success. A little loss is worth it in the long run as long as one of them is there to write on the page and set everything right again. 

On being “Overpowered”

I think the space-time sword serves as an excellent piece of foreshadowing. It introduces the idea that nothing that happens is set in stone. Even the past can be rewritten. If I’m right, that concept plays on a much larger scale in the DOA’s plans. Battles lost can still be won. People who have died aren’t gone yet. 

I think it’s funny that people get so mad at Fukuchi’s character for being too overpowered. It’s ironic, really, since he is to the other characters what ability users are to everyone else. Like, yeah, of course a time traveling sword feels like cheating. But then doesn’t bringing people back from their deathbed? Doesn’t transforming into a tiger and regenerating limbs? Gravity manipulation; a coat that can cut through any material and become stronger than armor? Regular people never stood a chance. If ability users want war, people will die. 

The name “Decay of the Angel” makes more sense with this theory in mind too. Angels are powerful, untouchable, holier than everyone else. The only way to achieve true equality is to knock them down a peg. In a world without angels, there are just… people. No more overpowered shortcuts. No more cheating. 

Atsushi’s reaction to learning the true motives of the DOA

All the pain and suffering Atsushi has experienced in his life has been directly caused by ability users. Even his own ability caused him a lot of grief for a very long time. The abuse he endured at the orphanage was in great part because of his ability, even though he didn’t know it at the time. And (as revealed in Dead Apple) he was tortured nearly to death because of Shibusawa’s greed for his ability. 

I think that after imagining the past rewritten without abilities, he realized that the DOA’s plan was actually a pretty good move morally. Nobody dies and the millions of people who have already died in ability-fueled wars would get their lives back. 

After finding out the truth about the DOA’s plans, he ran to tell Fukuzawa because Fukuzawa’s current course of action was to try to stop Fukuchi (and that would cause a greater net death in the long run). At the very least, sharing the new information with him would give them both a chance to think things through. 

Sigma’s story becomes even more tragic

The unfortunate side of things is that if I’m right, Sigma would be an even more tragically fated character. He was already brought into the world for the sole purpose of serving the other members of the DOA; people who seem to have no regard for his wants and needs. The only home he ever knew was blown up in one of their scuffles, and he was left for dead. But if the DOA’s plan truly was to erase abilities from existence, he was created with the full knowledge of his creators that he would not survive. 

Since he was born from an ability, from the page itself, he is intrinsically linked to ability use. If the DOA rewrites history to be free of abilities, he would also disappear. I suppose it’s slightly less cruel than killing him; it’d be more like in time travel movies when someone accidentally erases their best friend by stopping their parents from meeting or something. If he never existed, he isn’t technically dead. But the DOA still would have created him knowing he had no chance at a normal life. A disposable human, if you will. 

Conclusion

I have no clue if any of this is right or even if it’s been disproved somewhere in the manga or something. I’ve only seen the anime and Dead Apple, so I’m already working with a lot less information than I could be. But as I mentioned earlier, I absolutely love theorizing about these things, so I’m so glad the manga chapters and the anime episodes are starting to catch up to each other. 

Someone take my computer away from me, I am up at nearly 1 am writing a full goddamn essay about my favorite anime…

BSD Prediction: (SPOILER ALERT !!!)

-Fyodor is a small rat controlling a human robot.

-Shinsoukoku true love kiss break the vampire cursed.

-Aya just hanging onto the table, only moving 1 inch of Bram's sword.

-Tecchou and Kenji appear to help Aya removing the sword.

-or Aya awakened her power.

- Poe's book definitely has some kind of Chekhov's gun type of plot twist.

-Maybe it's like in the Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Event season 5 twist where the object is important but not how we think it is. Maybe it's not to attack Fukuchi but to save Fukuzawa or something.

-Or worst, Fukuchi used Poe book to attack/kill one if not all the member.

-Fitzgerald appears to help/stop the missiles

-Or Verlaine ?

-Or maybe someone who hasn't appeared in a long time like Lucy, Yosano, Natsume or Kyouka ?

-New Moby Dick ??? Because last time we saw Melville there's mini whale appears.

-If we gonna predict bad ending maybe this is like in Avenger Infinity war where the villain won but then the agency manage to counter attack.

-Maybe a time skip like in Attack on Titan and they reveal Atsushi in more mature ages where he decided to take revenge.

-I mean Timeskip routes is really common in manga story such as (spoiler) Attack on Titan, Talentless Nana, Boruto, etc.

-Maybe if we really wanna go darker route Dazai's and Fukuzawa's death make Atsushi goes 'I need to be stronger. I will take the leader role.' And decided to go Eren Yeager

-Dazai plan is indeed to fail, but he saved Sigma,Chuuya and the whole world.

-Nikolai reveal something like 'HAHA ! There is no antidote, bitch !!!'

-Both Fyodor and Dazai died. (Rip)
