For Atsushi To Comment On Akutagawa’s Eyes Here Makes Me Crazy Because Of How Much It Means

As a fandom, we have to acknowledge that Akaashi is weirder than Bokuto.

Just noticed something while using my phone to read the rough translations of the new chapter. Probably not that deep but, the moment I saw Past!Lavi telling Apocryphos he was underestimating humans, I got whiplash all the way back to chapter 115 with Allen vs Tyki. I left the panels under the read more to cover spoilers, but it does make ya wonder. 🤔

Chapter 254:

Chapter 115:

With deep sorrow, we mourn the passing of Pope Francis—a man of peace, compassion, and unwavering humanity. His voice stood boldly for justice, and his heart was open to the suffering of people around the world, especially in Gaza. He prayed for my child, Qais, after he was injured in the war. Today, I humbly ask our Christian brothers and sisters: in honor of Pope Francis, please Donate to help save Qais. Let your gift be a gesture of love and mercy in his memory.

Pope Francis was a true beacon of solidarity:

1. He repeatedly spoke out against the violence in Gaza, calling for an end to the bloodshed and suffering of innocent civilians.

2. He showed deep empathy for Palestinian women, acknowledging their strength and pain as they endured unbearable conditions.

3. He reminded the world that every child, including those in Gaza, deserves safety, dignity, and care, regardless of borders or politics.

As we say goodbye to a spiritual father who stood with the oppressed, let us carry forward his legacy. I am just a mother trying to save her son. Your donation for Qais is not just charity—it is a tribute to Pope Francis's love for peace and justice. Even a small gift can help Qais get the treatment he needs. May your kindness be a blessing for his soul and a lifeline for my child.

Our task from this point forward is to continue supporting Palestinians. Keep boosting fundraisers and donate as much as you can. Share news from the Gaza Strip.

Now is not the time to disengage. Do not look away

Penetration is a gender-neutral act. Topping is gender-neutral. Bottoming is gender-neutral. You are not more or less of a man or a woman depending on how you fuck. You are not “fake trans” for having sex a certain way. You are not any less masculine for bottoming or any less feminine for topping.

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!
