One thing I don't see nearly enough people talking about when it comes to KNDZ is how the use of light/dark colors on them is nearly 1-to-1 reversed of each other.

Dazai has short dark hair, Kunikida has long light hair. Dazai has dark eyes Kunikida has light eyes. Dazai wears a dark vest with a light shirt, Kunikida wears a light vest with a dark shirt.

Of course both of their designs still have individuality. Dazai's bandages and his coat that looks similar to Odasaku's coat. Kunikida dresses the most "business like" showing how seriously he takes his job, and the little yin-yang pin is an entire discussion in of itself.

The iconic red tie/blue tie thing they got going on is worth the hype, but I think the use of light/dark colors deserves attention too. It adds another layer to their "polar opposite partners" dynamic.

This chapter really illustrates just how young they were when they met. Akutagawa is 14 and Dazai 16 here.

This wasn’t Akutagawa being groomed into crime by an adult man with several years of experience under his belt and a fully developed brain. This was a 16 year old who had the intellect to prop himself up as much larger and older than he actually was and who had been functioning in that way for awhile. This was a kid leading another kid into the everyday violence that surrounded them, violence that Dazai had come to live and breathe at this point. Violence that Dazai had already learned how to wield very well.

I don't understand why people question if Sasuke likes Naruto, romantically speaking. I think Sasuke is so much more clearer than Naruto about the depth of his emotions. He has stated multiple times that Naruto is the only thing capable of making him lose sight of his goals. If Naruto showed up for long enough, Sasuke absolutely will stop and drop everything. He's admitted to this.

Itachi emphasized that he needs to kill someone precious to him in order to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan, and Sasuke didn't even hesitate before thinking about Naruto. No one else was even in consideration.

His biggest weakness, and the only person who he has made clear has acknowledged him, is Naruto like this is text. He's not chasing Naruto, but that's because he loves him so damn much he needs to run away from it.

With Naruto, there's a lot of duty to the village and perhaps some obligation and guilt associated with the time Sasuke nearly died for him. The story paints it as if Naruto is chasing Sasuke due to his promise to Sakura(he wasn't). But there's more factors obscuring the reasons for Naruto's determination than for Sasuke. Naruto says "for the village, to save my friend, for a promise", etc.

Sasuke explicitly says "I have to kill you because you're the only thing that is precious to me and I can't have that because you weaken me".
