Follow up to Dazai returning to the Port Mafia theory

My brain just thought of a follow-up to the theory of Dazai returning to the Port Mafia, so while I have paused progress on my Double Black Analysis due to finals coming up, I would like to share this.

I want to say this first off, this is Mori's decision. I feel like there's people out there arguing that Dazai doesn't want to go back, so he wouldn't go back, but this isn't up to him. It isn't up to Fukuzawa. It's up to Mori.

Mori is known for doing anything to get what he wants. This is shown through the method he used to get the Gifted Business Permit by sacrificing Oda. He's cunning, smart, and twisted. That's why he played his card like this, offering his aid in exchange for the "hundred times interest."

I mention "hundred times interest" because of chapter 30. In chapter 30, Mori mentions a way to get an alliance with the ADA:

"I know what I told the agency…but there is, in fact, a logically sound path to a full alliance. The essence of any alliance…lies in "advance payment." We pay out a loss first, for their sake…and once they pay it back, with a hundred times interest…only then can an alliance free of grudges form."

This is the hundred times interest. Time and time again, Mori has offered his aid to the ADA without a formal alliance, which was his "advance payment." Now, with the deal he has formed with Fukuzawa, the hundred times interest is due, a member of the ADA coming to the Port Mafia. And who better to fulfill that interest than the Demon Prodigy?

Mori also knows what kind of position Dazai is in right now. He can't go back to the ADA unless his crimes are pardoned, which would be difficult to do due to the sheer number of crimes Dazai committed that landed him in Mersault, the highest security prison in the world. I believe Dazai knows this as well.

Going back to Dazai himself, if he gets picked, he can't run like he did last time. If he ran, Mori would go after the ADA. Therefore, even though he wouldn't be part of the ADA anymore, he would still be protecting them. Just like how Chuuya joined the Mafia to protect the Sheep.

It's been seen that Dazai has been slowly distancing himself from the ADA. An example being the fact that Fukuzawa and Ranpo were most likely the only two in the loop about Dazai's plans to be arrested.

Not only that, but Dazai never truly separated himself from the Port Mafia. I mean, yes, he's not officially part of the organization, and he hates Mori's guts, however, he never detached himself from the connections he had in the organization after 4 years. In those 4 years, obviously, he contacted no one from the Mafia. After he made himself known that he was now part of the ADA, it was seen that he still trusted Chuuya, just like Chuuya still trusted him. He was also seen talking to Hirotsu in the art museum. He even entrusted Akutagawa to be his unbiased eyes in the Decay of Angels arc. He still is respected and/or feared by many members of the Port Mafia. Just like when Dazai tortured Kouyou for information, Kouyou realized that the Demon Prodigy never went away; he was simply dormant, waiting for opportunities to come out.

Mori's prediction that Dazai would be boss at 23, the fact that Mori left Dazai's executive seat open after 4 years, and Mori stating this at the end of Dark Era:

"It's become boring..."

All lead to the fact that Dazai is most likely to be chosen to return to the Port Mafia. It's almost like Mori planned for this.

While I'm here, I've also seen that other popular choices are Tanizaki and Atsushi, and I do want to talk about those two, starting with Tanizaki.

Tanizaki's light snow ability does have the potential to make him into an unbeatable assassin, but it's his morals that get in the way. While he does get aggressive when Naomi's life is in danger, he won't kill for the sake of killing, that's against his morals.

Atsushi is argued because he is the main character of the show and because of his tiger ability being quite powerful. While, yes, his tiger ability is powerful and has a lot of potential, Mori already has strength. He needs someone with strategy. That argument is valid for Tanizaki, too.

Mori needs someone cold, calculating, and utterly terrifying to keep his enemies in check, because as stated in chapter 30:

"But if Dazai-kun was still my right-hand man now...the Guild would be a thing of the past."

The Demon Prodigy is cornered — and Mori, patient as ever, is ready to claim what was always his.

Ok, that was a lot. I thought this up when I saw something on Twitter about people arguing who it would be and decided to refine some points from my earlier Dazai returning to the Port Mafia theory, but this time simply sticking to the facts and digging into the person who's actually choosing who would come back, rather than focusing on what Dazai wants.

I feel like a lot of people focus in on what Dazai wants but don't consider the fact that it's up to Mori, at least from what I've been seeing. The last thing Dazai wants to do is return to the Port Mafia, I know that, but Dazai also doesn't have room to negotiate here, considering the position he's in, and Mori knows that very well.

Alright, back to the finals trenches, enjoy these crumbs.

I don’t think I’ll write another poem about far-off azure skies or refugee clouds…. You stand at my side in noon’s bleaching light.

I simply fix my eyes on you, thinking it’s enough if I believe — not in either flowers or birds but in your fathomless love.

Working on something rn but until then take at look at these guys my mum got me for easter

BSD MINI MOCHIS!!!! I got a bundle of Atsushi, Kyouka, Dazai, Kunikida, Yosano and Akutagawa. (The squishmallow is a 7in one that's there for scale).

They're so silly i love them dearly. My personal favourite is Kyouka because I love the details of her outfit and design (she has hairband, a bow on her back and flowers in her hair it's so cute).

Also here's this photo I took of the Aku one.

joyride!

"Leaving you" - part 1/2

.

I'm not good with words so I didn't write anything about this comic apart from the title (I really tried but didn't find a better one) 😂

I had to listen Black Sorrow and Cure on repeat to collect references and set the right mood 🥲 Hope I didn't mess this up too much 😂✨️

I just thought of something yesterday.

Did Dazai know that Chuuya wasn’t a vampire from the very beginning (since he arrived)?

Because like I can think of two reasons why Dazai could deduce this.

1. It’s Chuuya I mean like the best martial artist in Japan if not the world, no way a vampire got him

2. Chuuya’s hat blocks out anything that tries to intercept his consciousness. The vampirism would fall under this, so Chuuya would be immune.

And since Dazai was the one who possessed Rimbaud’s notes, he was aware of Chuuya’s hat too.

So these two were winging the entirety of the Prison break, counting on each other not to kill each other.

I think Dazai knew that Fyodor wouldn’t be killed based off that one attempt, and by extension Chuuya. Maybe he was immediately trying to set up Chuuya fake-killing him, and Chuuya was able to figure this out and played along.

Those are just my thoughts, I don’t know if they are right 😂

Ok after going back and forth between the chapter where Chuuya was introduced into the prison arc to when Chuuya was revealed to not be a vampire, I came to two conclusions:

1. Dazai had to have known that Chuuya was coming. That also means that he knew that Chuuya wasn’t a vampire from the very beginning.

2. The only “plan” they really had was the part where Chuuya had to fake-kill Dazai. Everything else was them winging it and hoping they don’t kill each other in the process because they very much could have at multiple points.

Lots and lots of bullet points and questions to get to those two conclusions 😭

Dostoevsky's and Dazai's religious ideologies were like complete opposites and I was all for it when working on The Gospel.

I would've totally dug deeper into Dostoevsky but I haven't finished Crime and Punishment yet so everything on Dostoevsky's end is from my research, if any of you have read Crime and Punishment (or any of his works really), let me know if Google was correct.

So I'm thinking the reason why The Gospel is 130 whatever pages is because I'm digging in on an individual level, and then like I'm like also writing this as if someone doesn't know the entire plot of BSD. Well, ok, that was more necessary for like 15, Stormbringer, and the Dragon Head Incident just cause not everyone has read those, but I'm also using the manga for this analysis and I've noticed some differences between the anime and the manga so I'm coming across scenes that like I wasn't even aware of in the Prison Arc.

Also I try to differentiate when I'm talking about the real life author by calling the actual author by their last name out of respect and calling the anime character by their first name. So like with Fyodor I refer to the anime character as Fyodor but the author as Dostoevsky in my analysis. That's kinda hard to do with Dazai though so...you guys are just gonna have to figure out when I'm talking about real life Dazai and anime Dazai...sorry.

Anyway, quick update, enjoy these crumbs because I do have finals coming up so I won't be able to work as much as I want to on this. Progress will be slow and/or come to a complete halt in the next few weeks, but once I am free it is going to be WRITING time lemme tell you.

I'm about done with the Prison Arc, just covered Chuuya killing Dazai yesterday. Literally had to research the impact of bullet wounds in the shoulder thank you Chuuya. Then after that I actually plan on redoing the 15 arc completely just because my writing style really developed over the course of this analysis and I want to match that. Then onto proofreading and finalizing.

LUK AT LUKA'S ASS XP

(i like how this turned out -v-)

More bride Dazai :3

hello alien stage fandom. is this thing on

I want to see you in my dreams but then forget

Was in the mood to draw alnst women and then ran out so ivantill honory women 🎉🎉

Was listening to drunk & party on loop and it’s truly what cured my art block hyuna is so powerful im excited for her new song

im sorry, you switched your drawing hand???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

YEAAA I’d say for a bit over half a year I’ve been strictly using my non dominant hand! I’ve tried it off and on a few times throughout the years, but this is the first time I’ve like just straight up forced myself to not use my left hand at all. I still can’t write for shit with it tho (I can’t write with my dominant hand ngl). It’s absolutely made my more recent work messier, but I feel like I’m getting p close to the same standard I have for my dominant hand work

If anyone gaf, here’s a difference of my starting non dominant stuff vs my most recent

2022 vs 2025

Idk
