Haven't been able to get these words out of my head. The fact they are the last thing he says. At first, I was just like "Okay, that's a very Kunikida thing to say" but then I put them into context of what just happened.
He'd been impaled and was desperately trying to use his last moments to allow Tanazaki time to escape. He knew he wasn't living after this, so as per his ideals he was going to fight until his last breath to save another life. If he can die in-service of helping someone else survive, that's enough for Kunikida.
And then he hears Atsushi shout his name. Atsushi ran up from behind Amenogozen, Kunikida probably saw him coming as well. He gripped the sword in his chest with the last of his strength to aid Atsushi in whatever way he could.
And Atsushi chose to save Tanizaki. The very thing he'd been trying to do just seconds before.
That why I think he'd smiling here, that's why I think he says his ideals will live on. Not in some abstract way, but in a direct reference to Atsushi, because he was Atsushi's mentor too. From day one, Atsushi has been seeking guidance from Kunikida, even when he didn't know how to give it.
One of the first pieces of advice Kunikida gives Atsushi is to "start thinking what you can do."
And it has been something he's been trying to figure out ever since. What can he do to help those who need it? To be worthy of living?
Both Atsushi and Kunikida want to save people. Both of them have been struggling on how to achieve that this whole time. Saving people isn't just a single action to Kunikida, it's sacrifice, it's taking on a burden, it's knowing you're tied to this person afterwards.
It's knowing you can't always save everyone no matter how much you want to. It's prioritizing saving who can and living with that.
Kunikida knew he couldn't be saved, but he hoped Tanizaki could. When Atsushi chose to leave him and save Tanizaki he following in Kunikida's footsteps.
His ideals will live on, in Atsushi.
im a fucking sucker for the “character gets so badly injured that they can’t think clearly and start calling for help in a distressingly vulnerable way.” characters who start using nicknames for their friends they haven’t used since they were kids. characters who start begging for their brother they haven’t seen in years to be there. characters who would usually use their parents’ names or call them mother/father/etc crying out mama when they go down. u understand.
The look of a boy whose crush is currently flaunting his ability to their french enemy
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL
“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”
Hello dear friends! ❤🤍🖤💚
🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.
Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.
So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

wish i could go missing for a little bit and no one would freak out and then i could come back and they'd be like "did you have fun going missing" and i'd be like "yeah, thanks" and then i could do that every couple of months or so and it wouldn't be a big deal
wheelchairs and canes and glasses and hearing aids and every single other mobility aid should be free btw and if you disagree i hate you
i also wanted to say aroaces love chuuya too 🎀
Some random scenes in Bsd that we hear about that I’d love to see:
Chuuya and Ranpo inside Poe’s novel world. Chuuya trying to solve the mystery and then going fuck it and throwing hands. Also him just finally getting out covered in blood and seething.
Kunikida getting arrested.
I can just see the Agency celebrating and Minoura showing up like “hate to crash your party. But he’s coming with us.” Everyone fighting back until Kunikida turns himself in.
Fukuchi smuggling a coffin into the airport. Honestly any scene of him smuggling around Bram without anyone realising.
The conversation between Mori and the Agency after the boat fight. Fukuzawa learning who betrayed Ranpo and Atsushi. Atsushi in Akutagawa’s coat explaining what happened.
Two scenes from when Atsushi spent 2 weeks homeless. One from when he was human and one from when he was a tiger.
The first time someone woke up a sleeping Kenji. Since 55 minutes tell us that Kenji is terrifying to wake up.
Also on 55 minutes, Kunikida breaking into that meteorological bureau.
Sigma attacking and taking the memories of the page from Cheif Taneda.
Dazai and Ranpo discussing the Mersault plan. And Ango and Chuuya learning what their parts are.
Fukuchi seeing Fyodor doodling on the wall or whatever and deciding it means a world war is gonna happen.
Kunikida’s perspective on being under the effects of Q’s ability.
The government taking Kunikida’s body after the helicopter stuff. Atsushi and Kyouka spending 2 days up in a vent and learning the news.
Natsume finding and helping Katai and him figuring out Fyodor’s location.
Ranpo asking Poe about writing a novel for Fukuchi and Fukuzawa.
Whatever the ‘laughing lemon incident is.’
Mori finally bans toys from all mafia meetings after Dazai and Chuuya got bored at a very important negotiation and initiated a water gun fight with each other. Bringing game consoles was already pushing it, but the water guns were the last straw.
This backfires however, when at the next meeting they both attend, Dazai once again gets bored and just pulls out an actual gun and starts shooting at Chuuya. Who catches the bullets with his ability and proceeds to pelt Dazai with them in return.
they/them (I am a minor!!) Welcome to my personal blog where I mostly yap about BSD right now… I also like writing, world building, and media analysis tho!
