Gordon has a new detective, freshly transferred to his department, who Will Not Stop Making Death Puns

And he's about ready to commit murder.

The man is very, very good at his job. He seems to stumble across evidence without realizing what he's doing, and freaks out suspects at interrogation tables by bringing up crap his wife and husband do that perfectly mirrors the suspect's story, and then points out the inconsistencies.

He is quickly becoming the most hated man in the department, in terms of who criminals hate.

Great news, Gordon's 100% sure he isn't corrupted.

Bad news, Gordon's 100% sure of that because he keeps easily outing corrupted cops with an ease that makes Gordon feel like he's been wasting time all these years.

So when Batman pisses Gordon off just a little too much, goes over his head one too many times, Gordon decides "fuck it, he get's to deal with Detective Daniel Foley."

But as he's walking away, as Foley starts to hand over the files, he hears the most Dreaded Phrase that man can ever say.

"Ya know, my wife-"

Basically Danny is married to Sam and Tucker, both he and Sam took Tucker's last name, and Danny is a modern Columbo.

Only he speaks to ghosts for easy cheat codes to evidence.

Right, I forgot, ALSO: when Fyodor frames the Agency as terrorists by putting them into a universe where they’re all evil, this is a reference to how many of the Agency authors practiced Naturalism: the literary movement that Mori hated that claimed to write “life as reality shows it”, but instead many Naturalist authors used this excuse to glorify the sexualization of incest, rape, and abuse (Junichiro Tanizaki is the most famous for giving Naturalism this horrific reputation, as not only did he write about the first and last of these three, he abused his IRL wives and was known to date much younger women. Does the teenager incest in the show make sense now?).

Meanwhile, the Mafia authors practiced Romanticism, the movement that existed prior to Naturalism in Japan and was focused on creating stories that made a reader FEEL something, regardless of how true-to-life it was. A lot of them (Mori and Akutagawa especially) pushed back against this new wave in their own writing. By swapping their roles like this, Fyodor therefore sets to put the world back to how it played out in real life: Naturalism wasn’t seen by Japan as courageous underdogs, but an uncontrollable corruption of their pre-existing literary standards. However, through the metaphor of BSD, this course of action is portrayed as evil and villainous, taking anyone who wishes to convey IRL history as it happened and framing them as an evil monster bent on censoring authors’ right to creative expression.

Why would you kill him like this…
