For those of you who may not be too familiar with the manga, during ch39: Portrait of a Father, Akutagawa shows up, as Dazai's informant, to give Atsushi documents about who the orphanage headmaster was and what happened to him.
At that moment, Akutagawa shows an uncharacteristic clemency towards Atsushi, saying that "Atsushi's master died today", and compares this to his own relationship with Dazai.
This was a long time ago now, and a lot has happened since. The Cannibalism arc is right after this, where they are very antagonistic towards each other, and includes this scene:
Akutagawa, despite his bitterness towards Atsushi for who he is to Dazai, has seen how similar they are in this sense. Atsushi hasn't, because his gratefulness towards Dazai prevents him from seeing that Akutagawa's experience was completely different with this same person. (he's also not given any time by the narrative to wonder about it)
but then just came along chapter 122!!!
Atsushi gets to see, 1:1, the relationship between Akutagawa and Dazai. For the first time, Akutagawa is relatable to him.
And of course, at the end, Atsushi calls out the illusion as being the headmaster wearing Dazai's face because we are closing this loop! We are forcing Atsushi to see Akutagawa the same way Akutagawa has been seeing him!
This. This is why I love Sskk shippers and the Sskk community
Chapter 121.5 as told by people's reactions from the activity page. Lives were changed
oh he loves him
OH HE LOVES HIM SO MUCH
A random drawing of Akutagawa inspired by the latest Aku art from chapter 120.5
The scar I drew on his neck is well...from you know what. Also the rose in his bleeding eye socket is a silver rose because silver roses represent protection and he's Atsushi's knight/protecter
THIS IS AKUTAGAWA IN CHAPTER 121.5

Do you think there's a chance that Shin Soukoku could become canon? I know that Bungou Stray Dogs isn't primarily a romance anime, among other things, but do you think it's possible?
Yep, I think it's possible
I usually give essay-long replies on Sskk anon asks lmao but I'll be short
I think the possibility *of* sskk becoming canon is low, mainly just because Bsd isn't a romance manga/anime
But I think if it *did* become canon it would make a lot of sense. Their dynamic already has a lot of romantic undertones to it, so I think if one day Asagiri made it canon, it would not feel forced or anything at all. It would feel natural because I mean, they just go so well together
There's a chance it'll be canon, there's always been a chance, but it's probably not that high. It's possible, but we'll just have to wait and see
