There are not many monologues in Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai. On top of it, Doumeki shows little expression and doesn’t speak much, so we’re not quite sure what he has in mind. In Chapter 12, Doumeki...
Hi Saezuru friends! thanks for your opinions on my little post on Doumeki. As always, I am not trying to guess everything about Saezuru, but having fun with expressing my opinions and theories. I'm so glad to hear your comments which sheds new lights on the thought process.
I have more thoughts on Doumeki, which is still boiling, and hope to post it when I come up to conclusion. which reminds me of other theories I have been cooking for some time, but anyway, I will post them along the way, when I am ready.

I smiled when I imagined Doumeki being a mother for Yashiro.. what a cute sight! But Doumeki can probably only watch Yashiro do things, and won't be able to scold or talk him into something. So seems like Yashiro need to take care of himself, if he wants to live longer..
ladyivorypale,
as I wrote in my post, I agree that Doumeki's top priority is to stay by Yashiro's side, but Yashiro is not the type to give detailed explanations or orders. Since Doumeki broke the door and beat up the guys before Yashiro gave orders, I was worried that he may shoot Ryuzaki in a similar manner.
what he said in Chapter 8 about willing to be a "bullet" means, in the act of battle between the Yakuza, he is ready to pull the trigger, and either gets shot and die, or goes to prison for the act(or on behalf of the higher rank Yakuza). normally the guys in the lowest rank is expected to take up this role, so if he becomes a formal member, and an all out war starts with another Yakuza group, Doumeki is likely to become a "bullet".

About whether Doumeki is responsible of Yashiro getting shot, I don't personally think he is responsible and Yahiro isn't blaming him, but I believe Doumeki himself feels so, (as well as the rest of the Yakuza). I think that's why Doumeki cried when he sneaked into the hospital. The fact that Yashiro made clear he wasn't blaming Doumeki, must have been a great relief.
We have to remember, he is a bodyguard in a Yakuza group, and his job is to stay beside Yashiro. As Misumi mentioned in the hospital, Yashiro is a kind of guy who needs to be guarded even if he was there for appendicitis. Even if Yashiro was all alone, Doumeki won't be able to escape the blame entirely, and since they were together, the bodyguard would be responsible. As Nanahara mentioned, if a Yakuza bodyguard fails, there are only two choices. To be beaten up half to death and get fired, or take responsibility, cut off a finger and stay in the Kumi. That's why Doumeki chose the latter. (><)
As for Doumeki's feeling about his sister, you're keen to notice my point! It's an opinion more than a theory, but it's a little complicated so I'll try to write it up on a separate post.
