the most beautiful ending was for sukuna (and uraume) because not only did we get a good afterlife scene of him going north for and with uraume but gege also showed in the epilogue how he was always destined to go north because he was always a chill guy and had depth, despite keeping an aloof demeanor. He took uraume and raised them like he was always meant to be an amazing father. What he did was a reaction to how he was treated but at the very core he always carried light. Ending the manga with "how did YOU not grow cold with me uraume?" to uraume's first "how are you not cold next to me sukuna-sama?" was the most beautiful way to describe their relationship, they both might have seemed cold to others but they were a source of warmth for each other, both of them kept the other intact in some way. Ride and die for eternity.
It reminds me of the quote, "when is a monster not a monster? Oh when you love it"
Me, realizing there's gonna be a Storm Bringer manga adaptation and we're gonna get to see The Flags, Chuuya's party, them playing pool, Adam's pigeon impression, Murase, Hirotsu dressed as Mori, "You're filthy" "Kiss my ass" and Chuuya's punishment for Dazai:
Me, realizing we'll also see everything else that happens in Storm Bringer:
Turns out Big Son + Small Dad is the most adorable combo ever actually.
BUNGOU STRAY DOGS CHAPTER 121.5 WILL BE WRITTEN ON MY GRAVESTONE
Crack concept: Akutugawa hears Dazai’s “my new partner is better” speech and is righteously pissed.
Because Kunikida is a respected enemy and one Akutugawa approves of as Dazai’s partner at the Agency.
And now this random person with no spine has replaced him?!
Inconceivable.
Atsushi’s very confused until he untangles the reason Akutugawa hates his guts and why he wants to see what he’s made off.
He reassures him he’s not going to replace Kunikida.
Akutugawa, begrudgingly accepts this and they both bond over how outrageous Dazai is for trying to replace Kunikida like that.
Kunikida finds out about of all this from an encounter with Chuuya who’s rather sympathetic to his situation.
“He try and blow your car up too?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about but I believe I know who you’re talking about.”
They bond over their mutual annoyance and get coffee.
Dazai finds out way too late and quickly tries to reassure him that’s not the case. And that it’s all a huge misunderstanding.
Kunikida brings it up every time Dazai fucks up.
Dazai: Heyyy Kunikida you ready for our case?
Kunikida, passive aggressively typing: That sounds lovely, I’m sure your new partner will be happy to go with you.
Dazai, in despair: I would never take a case without you. Atsushi, back me up here!
Atsushi, side eying him: I dunno you did take me out for that meeting the other day.
Kunikida: I suppose I should just retire now then. I trust you’ll carry my torch, Atsushi.
Dazai: Ahh! No! Okay, okay I’ll do my report first.
Kunikida: Be quick we have a case soon.
Apparently people are going crazy with theories over Queen's updated Vivre Card, and while those, as I've complained before, tend to be extremely untrustworthy and full of retcons and decanonized errors, IF it is to be trusted there's so much funny shit to unpack here. I don't even know where to begin. Like.
-The information that MADS was formed 39-40 years ago. The idea that those three stooges (since the other two known members are like, 1-2 decades older) were actual minors when they started building literal chemical weapons of war (16-17 years old) is fucking wild. Lu Feld out there creating new exciting ways to do child labor. Loosing my mind. But it's OK because these are the world's Most Evil Teenagers and they yearn for the unethical science mines.
-It also, apparently lasted for 10 years. Those guys were working together for a decade. Which honestly makes a lot of interactions they have with and about each other both make more sense and way funnier. I guess Vegapunk feeling the need to keep Caesar around even during the Punk Hazard days, despite the fact that he's. well. himself, makes more sense considering he had already worked with the guy for a decade. That will numb you to a lot of red flags lmao. It also makes the Neo MADS cover story of Judge initially not recognizing Caesar, absolutely hysterical. Who the fuck are you (directed at a guy he worked with for ten whole years).
-Yeah let's get it out of the way, if this vivre card information is canon, Mr. The Plague has a son he's abandoned. People are going wild trying to figure out who it is and everyone's either banking on Weevil (which feels like, he's more likely to be just a failed clone of Newgate, so I'm not sure if it's him? Still could work I guess.) and. let's get it out of the way. Franky. And unfortunately for everyone, not only does the timeline line-up perfectly, like, too perfectly (his son is stated to be 36 years old and abandoned at the age of 10, when Queen was already with the Beast Pirates). Franky is 36, abandoned at the age of 10, and stated his parents were pirates. But also, Franky never saw Queen in his human form (only in his dino form) back at Onigashima so like. so he couldn't have made any comments about him. I have no idea if it's true. But like, can you fucking imagine. Can you imagine. Not one. Two. Two Strawhats that were abandoned by their MADS fathers. That's so funny. And tragic. Can anyone in this organization be normal about children for ONCE I am begging you. I'm including Vegapunk in this; what the fuck is going on with the Seraphim. Heartbreaking: the last five people on the planet that should ever be having any kids keep having and/or picking up kids. Anyway yeah, this could easily be a bait and switch but the fact this is a possibility is haunting me. I don't know if I believe it, but I kind of want to.
-Oh yeah, his real name is Scien. You know. like Science. Apparently. Which is very stupid but also kinda fun. Honestly if it was romanized as something like "Psien" or "Saien" or "Psion" or "Scion" or "Cyan" it'd probably feel less goofy.
That's it that's all the new info. It is completely useless but mildly entertaining to me in extremely funny ways. Have fun and do what you will with it.
Currently hyper boosting them on OPBR, celebratory art☆
