Hey so like. With the chapter 122 coming out. Did some people collectivelly forgot that Atsushi isn't stupid?
Like. I know that Atsushi SEEING how Dazai treated Akutagawa with his own eyes is a huge thing and all but honestly.
Atsushi for sure already knew what sort of relationship Aku and Dazai had at this point in the manga. He might have not know the details, but he for sure already knew that Dazai abused Aku. He isn't stupid. He saw how Akutagawa acted and spoke about Dazai so many times and you think he didn't get it? Especially with Akutagawa behaviour basically screaming it out in not so many words at Atsushi every time they fight together?
And thats why it doesn't shock him when he sees Aku and Dazai interactions.
He isn't shocked at all. He is just sad.
This isn't news for him. He already knew it was bad and horrible for Aku. Now he just sees how much.
The parallels between the Thunder siblings and the Tsugikuni twins run deep. Starting with Kaigaku and Michikatsu's memories, it's evident that there is no strict rule about demons retaining their memories after transformation. I believe it mainly concerns their corruption. When demons' memories are taken away, a fundamental part of them is erased, which makes it easier for Muzan to reshape their relationships and identities to serve him. In the case of these two, remembering is essential; Muzan needs them to hold onto their worst qualities and instincts. Hatred and jealousy are powerful, binding emotions that drive both of them. Muzan's strategy is to keep them as their worst versions, which is why I believe these two kept their memories despite being transformed. this similarity is also the undeniable reason why Kokushibo was Kaigaku's path into demonhood.
As for the other two, aside from Tanjiro, I think Zenitsu is the closest to Yoriichi among the Kamaboko squad. They’re both really hard on themselves. Even though they’re clearly talented, strong, and heroic, they can’t seem to accept it. Zenitsu sees himself as a coward who doesn’t amount to much, while Yoriichi feels like a failure. But both have a lot of kindness, bravery, and care for others.
Both also fight their turned demon siblings, and the saddest part is that they both "die" when they "kill" their brothers. Yoriichi's heart stops at that moment, and Zenitsu falls to his death without trying to stop himself, and almost crosses to the other side. It's as if the act itself was so painful. They understood they had to end their siblings' lives, but despite any anger, disappointment, or pity they felt, there was no triumph in their actions, only heartbreak.
hc that kyouka like. mimics people to show her affection, since she isnt good with words n stuff.
like one time she and atsushi were riding the bus somewhere and atsushi brought his knees up to his chest and just kinda sat curled up on the bus seat like that and kyouka looked at him for a minute before doing the same thing then looking at him with like these big cat eyes. atsushi was a bit confused but he smiled and sorta nudged against her and she smiled back
kunikida was pacing in the ada offices one day (dazai was later than usual and he was stressing a bit) and kyouka kinda just started walking next to him. she didnt really know why he was pacing but she thought it would help if he did it with him (it did, in a way)
naomi will be talking nonsense to a cat that she met on the street and kyouka has no idea why she would be doing that??? why is she saying made up words to this animal??? but she sees that naomi is really happy so she crouches down and starts babbling to the cat
tanizaki is worried at first bc sometimes theyll be sitting at the same desk and hes working in complete silence (like he always does, except for when someone is talking to him) and he'll look over at kyouka and shes just. sitting there. silent. and hes so worried bc he wants her to feel safe and he wants her to like him but shes always just. sitting there staring at him.
until one day, shes sitting with him and he starts drumming his fingers on the desk, waiting for a document to upload. then he hears a second set of fingers drumming the rhythm with him. he looks up, confused and sees kyouka looking at him, drumming her fingers. he stops, and as soon as he does her fingers go still. he starts up again, and so does she. he cant stop smiling the rest of the day.
kenji takes kyouka to a park for a picnic, after he found out shes never been on one. he takes out some orange slices and puts one in his mouth so it looks like a smile. she stares at him before doing the same thing, struggling a bit. they look at each other for a moment before bursting out laughing.
idk shes so important to me <33333

stormbringer manga is out yet all i can think abt is how weird the fans are gnna treat him. reminder that SB chuuya is SIXTEEN. same goes for dazai. 🤦♂️ also no it doesn’t make it better if ur younger or the same age as him stfu.
"....I don't understand..."
"Why is that even though Sukuna-sama is near me, he does not get cold?"
".....Ku-Ha"
"I could say the same goes for you, Uraume"
"Why did you not get cold being by my side?"
this is so important actually. the image and voice of dazai, one of the smartest people atsushi knows, manifested by atsushi's mind telling him that he knows something dazai doesn't. he can do what dazai can't. he's smart enough to save everyone, despite his doubts about himself. and he knows it, even if he needs a voice that isn't his own to say it to him.
