Bsd Manga - Blog Posts

Here's part 2 of the first two episodes of Danny Motta's reaction to bsd

Some quotes are cut down or changed for the character limit. If there are any quotes I missed or you want to be included in future parts plz comment down.

(I mostly doing this for a collection of Danny's quotes for myself lol)

Link to the video:

There were so many good quotes that I could only fit ep 1 😭😭😭😭😭 and there's still some that I left. Some quotes are changed to fit the word limit. Comment/reblog if you have any other quotes or want to include in part 2!!!

Link to the video:

✨ My BSD hot takes/unpopular opinions ✨:

1. Identifying BSD characters as Queer, is not problematic. STOP being so Heteronormative. Gay characters are not gonna kill you.

If I see another "BuT tHe ChArAcTeRs nEvEr SaId tHeY aRe GaY" I would bomb you 💣/j

2. Skk/SSKK/Fyolai/other popular ships, exist because people like it. If you don't ship them, don't engage with their content. Not all shippers act crazy and toxic. Stop blaming everything on shippers.

3. Atsushi/Kyouka is problematic, stop justifying it with "only 4 year age gap". Kyouka is a CHILD, ship her with Kenji if you want. Atsushi, like a normal 18 year old would never look at a highschool freshman and date her. Even if they date in the future, he knew her when she was younger and they had a sibling like dynamic. Lucy is a way better love interest to Atsushi (Don't know if this is an unpopular opinion tho, but I saw some people justifying it 😐😐😐)

4. DAZAI IS NOT EVIL. HE IS FAR FROM EVIL. He is, despite being super popular and the face of BSD, the most mischaracterized and villified character. Morally grey characters exist??!!!

5. Mori is a way worse person than Dazai ever was.

6. PM members get a free pass for any heinous crime they commit by being hot or babygirl-ified (still love them tho, we do not often discuss how bad their actions have been, you can like criminals and acknowledge they are criminals in fiction. I would add DoA to this too, but it's worse with the PM)

7. Akutagawa's abuse of Kyouka shouldn't be forgotten just because Dazai abused Akutagawa.

8. Mori emotionally manipulated and abused Dazai when he was a teen. Just because it wasn't physical, doesn't mean it was nothing.

9. Atsushi is NOT a soft boy, he is way bitter, salty and sarcastic than we give him credit

10. Poe is important to Ranpo and their friendship/relationship is wholesome as hell

11. Ranpo and Yosano's friendship is way better than them being in a relationship in the future

12. FukuFuku is better than Fukumori (imo!!!!)

13. Buying real authors work after watching BSD is actually a really good thing, since more Gen z kids (or other people) will read classics

14. There are layers to Atsushi and Akutagawa relationship/rivalry, and they have the MOST important relationship (not meaning romantic, just in general) in the entire canon.

15. Kunikida and Yosano could be a power couple

16. Fyodor is not a great villain (yet)

17. Nikolai CARRIES the DoA

18. Sigma shouldn't be in the ADA, he needs a happy home, family and some time to adjust to normal life

19. Q and Elise are both underused characters and could become a great dynamic

20. Ango deserves more love, the amount of pressure and stress he deals with is INSANE

21. It's OKAY if everyone joins the fandom for Dazai or skk (I did at first too!!)

22. Higuchi is annoying as hell. I do not get her hype, I like her but not as much as most people (just personal opinion, do not flame me 😭)

23. Everyone in The Guild is forgettable or boring (except Fitzgerald, Poe and Lucy. I like Louisa, but I forget her all the time)

24. Hetero ships are just not that great/interesting in BSD to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ (except maybe AtsuLucy or rare pairs) and female characters are not best utilised, I wish they play more major roles (can't wait for Agatha to arrive!!)

25. Some fan theories/arts get the story better than "canon" stuff at times. Fanon is NOT always the worst (sometimes enjoyable when the canon gets too dark or sad)

26. Toxic ships are okay in fiction as long as they are legal. Humans like toxic things, we consume it like junk food 💅🏻

(These are all personal opinions of mine and do not matter. Feel free to disagree. But, do not hate or be toxic!!!! 😇😇😇😇)

(PS: I compiled all these because of posts I have seen in, Reddit, Pinterest, Twitter and sometimes Tiktok. These aren't really abt you Tumblr folks. I meant to post this on reddit but did not have the courage or mental strength lol)

Asagiri really loves SSKK that's why he's killing everyone so they can have their gay ass reunion and say nice things about eachother and reassure eachother and support eachother in a mean way

Akutagawa: Stupid were-tiger lets everyone dieee

Atsushi, tears in his eyes because he is happy to see Aku: then why are you here bitch?

Akutagawa: to save you

Atsushi: 🫥🫥🫥

Akutagawa: because Dazai-san told me to! That's why I am gonna save you! For Dazai-san! For the mission!

Atsushi: well, I'll admit it's nice to see an.....ally

Akutagawa: yeah yeah sure...we are not allies..

Aya: I am right here. Stop flirting. The world is literally ending!

Therapist: so let's unpack everything

Atsushi: everyone I know and love is dying one by one

Therapist: that's very unfortunate---

Atsushi: and they all died in front of me and I couldn't save them

Therapist: things like that aren't in our hands----

Atsushi: they sacrificed their lives for me....

Therapist: okay....this is really bad. How about we start with your childhood?

Atsushi: I was locked up in an Orphanage and suffered abuse and experimented on until they kicked me out when I was 18

Therapist: I don't think I can do this.

*Akutagawa tying Aya's hair*

Aya: Ahhh are you trying to kill me? You can't even make pig tails?

Akutagawa: if you complain too much I'll use rashomon to tie it up

Aya: HEY that's not fair!

*noise and smoke from the kitchen*

Akutagawa, rolling his eyes: jinko I thought you could cook

Atsushi: uh yeah I can cook basic things. Your kitchen is too advanced for me!

Aya: I don't want to eat burned toast again papa

Atsushi: I know honey, I'll make sure it's only slightly burned

Akutagawa: now did you do your homework?

Aya: what homework?

Atsushi: what homework?

*Akutagawa making a science project and Atsushi writing essays*

Aya: are you sure you two can do this? You haven't been to school before

Akutagawa: I am smart enough to do it unlike a certain weretiger---

Atsushi: oh you SHUT UP--

(shhhh BSD is about two rivals raising a little girl together like it's buddy daddies)

Atsushi: I am really sorry for your loss little girl 😔

Aya: why do my dad's keep dying

Atsushi: oh....did you have two dads?

Aya: uh huh, technically four

Atsushi: h-how did that happen

Aya: I have a biological dad, who was the worst thing in my life

Atsushi: oh sorry

Aya: then I got Kunikida and things were okay for while, then he died.

Atsushi, tears forming: yes I just saw that 😭

Aya: Bra-chan became my dad too, he thinks I remind him of his daughter

Atsushi: awww 🥺

Aya: he was killed by Dosto-whatever-his-name-is in front of me

Atsushi: not him too

Aya: then the Dosto-person became my new dad, which I didn't consent to, he took Bra-chan's body!

Atsushi: this cannot get weirder

Aya: after all that Bra-chan came back to life for a min and gave me a new dad to replace him

Atsushi: and who's that?

Akutagawa: Princess, I brought your favourite doughnuts!

Atsushi: A-Akutagawa? What are you---

Aya: Oh here he is my new dad

Atsushi: you are a dad now?

Akutagawa: yes, it just happened recently. Jinko we have a child now.

Atsushi: W-We what?

(nope I am gonna ignore the new chapter 116, didn't see it, totally)

These are some other ships I found (mostly from shipping fandom)

Special mention to Ranpo x Yosano, I do not ship them and only consider them platonic (Kunisano is better for me!) and Akuhigu which I also don't ship because I seriously don't see it at all, although I still consider it underrated.

I tried to add ships here that I personally consider underrated which means it's a completely subjective opinion/choices!

Any other ships you like, you can comment down!!!

Ps: THANK YOU GUYS FOR MAKING DANPO WIN I LOVE THIS FANDOM

Fyodor took the body of his crush!!

He thought "If I can't have him, I'll become him and end him"

Also wtf was that chapter, I can't process anything.

(Asagiri! If Bram Bram dies or smtg, I am going to kms)

I love how BSD went from a story about a detective agency fighting against crimes by the help of their supernatural abilities, helping an abandoned orphan who finds a new reason to live

To-----Fyodor might be JESUS not even kidding

⚠️ SPOILERS CHAPTER 113 ⚠️

WTF DID I JUST READ? WHAT WAS THAT!

Let me just organise my thoughts:

The old men Yaoi was expected but it still killed me

The last panel was so chilling and traumatic with Aya's cheerful words and Fukuzawa's expression 😭

Why wasn't Fukuzawa holding Fukuchi in his arms????

SIGMA IS ALIVVVEE

WHERE IS NIKOLAI? Did he go to bury Fyodor's hand or smtg?

FYODOR AND BRAM HAVE HISTORY

So that MF is immortal or really really old or smtg

There's NO way an immortal being like Fyodor dies by a helicopter falling on him!

Before dying (allegedly) Fyodor had mentioned "that man" as his rival before Dazai, could it be Bram? 🤔

Bram serving as usual 💅

Sigma looked like Sleeping Beauty (maybe you should have kissed the Princess instead of throwing him down 15 times Chuuya 🙄)

Fyodor has more Jesus allegories

Dazai wasn't in Fukuzawa's thoughts about the ADA..... maybe he is going to transfer to PM and the reason Chuuya was sent to rescue him was because they were going back to Mori together

NO AKUTAGAWA UPDATE (come on this was his birthday week 🥺)

CHUUYA LOST HIS VAMPIRE TEETH AHHH

WTF IS FYODOR? WTH IS GOING ON WITH HIM

I have so many more thoughts but mostly-----I really want to track down Asagiri to ask him wtf is going on here

I can't understand anything

I'll go and watch some yt shorts

This is all too much for my brain to process (I understand Sigma now)

Did I know Nikolai held Fyodor's ripped off arm to his face? Yes. Did I still cry? YES

WTF ASAGIRI WHO HURT YOU?

Forget Fyodor, I want Asagiri's villain origin story to see what made him write trauma like this

I bet he was giggling and kicking his feet when he decided to do this

He knows where it hurts us and he is not afraid to stab us and twist the knife 🙂🙃

Since Yosano is off-limits she won't be considered.

1. Dazai: it makes no narrative sense to make him join the Port Mafia again, when he left at his own accord. The reason he left and changed himself as a person was because of his promise to Oda and him getting back to the Mafia takes all the weight from that promise. We already have a BSD 15 manga that's about Dazai being in the Mafia and the skk shenanigans, we honestly don't need more. Mori seems like he wants Dazai back in the Mafia, in a keep your friends close and your enemies closer fashion. Dazai going back to the Mafia can be interesting, but it's not good for Dazai's character arc. (Still has a chance)

2. Atsushi: since he is the protagonist, it makes the most sense for him to get transferred. Just like how we saw the ins and outs of ADA, we get to see how the current Mafia works on the regular basis. It would be interesting to see his interactions with Mori. We definitely like SSKK team up, now they will be in the same team too (maybe that's why the last scene of S5 they are working together, the transfer already happened). I want Canon Atsushi and Chuuya to interact!!! Their dynamic in Wan gives me so much serotonin.

3. Kunikida: while he can be quite a good asset, his ideals are too important for him to actually do something against it for the PM. He is a bit like Oda in that respect, a Mafia member who won't kill.

4. Ranpo: doesn't have abilities but his smarts is what makes him stand out among the rest of the ADA. But the biggest value in him is that he is practically Fukuzawa's son, someone whom he cares for greatly. Making Ranpo transfer to PM would be a huge slap on the face for Fukuzawa.

5. Junichiro: is the most hinted to actually join the PM. He is also the only ADA member to openly say his abilities could suit the Mafia and he might transfer there if no one else does. It's clear he has quite the violent side to him and the instincts to kill. He could be an interesting addition to the PM, and it paves the way for Tanazaki's backstory. I also wonder if Naomi would join the PM too, or she would stay with the ADA opposing her brother or leave the agency to remain neutral.

6. Kenji: is a highly unlikely choice for the PM. He has a strong ability but his personality isn't simply suited for Mafia. Although it would be funny to watch Kenji change the Mafia's heart and have innocent fun.

7. Kyouka: another ex-mafia member. She is a good choice, as her ability is really strong and good for the mafia. But since she too left (kicked out); her going back doesn't add to her character. While it might seem like Kouyou can influence Mori to take Kyouka back, but she already has accepted that Kyouka should stay in the light and stay away from the Mafia lifestyle (Aku also wants Kyouka to be happy).

Maybe Asagiri pulls another card and makes Fukuzawa transfer so he can complete his old man Yaoi arc with Mori, who knows? (/j)

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BE FLIRTING WITH HIM ATSUSHI

CHAT HEAR ME OUT

imagine a fyolai art: fyodor behind nikolai (to make it easier let's imagine kolya sitting and fedya standing behind him). Fyodor is holding Nikolai's eyepatch thing (? I forgot what its called) which is broken in half, while Nikolai holds Fyodor's arms

what tf does this mean, you may ask. well!

(ch 121 spoilers) we saw fyodor tear the page, but there is a popular theory that it wasn't actually the book page, so we can say that the act was a farce. when we see fyodor doing the same here, its showing how nikolai's attempt at freedom (by killing fyodor back in Meursalt) was nothing but a farce (planned out by fyodor).

now, why would Nikolai be holding Fyodor's arms, you may ask. well, I imagine kolya holding them in the way a prisoner holds the bars to their cage. this is pretty self explanatory with reference to the fyolai dynamic

so I imagine fyodor serving face and Nikolai looking... Well. Uneasy. His eyepatch, which he used as an on switch for his fake persona, is broken; so showing himself in his entirety would be odd to him naturally.

someone draw this I'm actually going crazy rn. I was gonna but I gotta sleep and ain't no way I'll have motivation in the morning (also soz for the irregular punctuation I'm like half asleep i think)

"Mama I'm chasing a ghost, I don't know who he is.

Mama I'm chasing a ghost, do I look like him?"

if there is a dazai fanclub in the bsd universe, fyodor is its leader without a DOUBT

ERM WDYM WE'RE GETTING THE NEXT CHAPTER SOON ISN'T IT DECEMBER RN???

I genuinely just can't believe how quickly Jan has gone like what

I still remember December being like I GOTTA WAIT UNTIL FEB FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER WHAAA

...and now...

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING IN SHIBUYA?!"

THE LATEST CHAPTER OH MY GOD?? OH MY FUCKING GOD????

Asagiri I love you 🙏

Okay so like

Pls I'm still processing everything oh my GOD what the what just happened like oml THE ATSUSHI DEVELOPMENT HELLO?? THE DAZAI DELUSION REVEAL???

and tHE SSKK

DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THE SSKK

ATSUSHI SAW AKUTAGAWA'S PAST NOW?? THEY HAVE A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING NOW??? AND LIKE

UENGDNVSGKEJGSSGJDGJDJHSFHFS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH RN

okay so like

is Akutagawa maybe actually kinda really in love with Atsushi??

AAAAAAAAA I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC AND GROWTH

This chapter was full of new things aistidvmufsitshffj oml Atsushi Atsushi Atsushi my baby oml I'm still trying to figure everything out like I have two braincells rn oml I love this chapter though AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i am unwell

So I was reading Wan! on mangadex earlier, and I got to chapter 166. I noticed this panel had two very interesting typos

I know mangadex isn't an official translation ofc, and maybe it was on purpose, but they spelled homicide as homocide. Considering the homo undertones of like, all of Bsd, maybe it was just the translators poking fun at the word lmao, but idk

Why is Atsushi bending over in front of Akutagawa

Talking about this scene where Atsushi and Akutagawa had to fight Ivan

Okay, first off, this is actually such an underrated moment for Sskk's development. It's the first time they use Kokko Zessou (the Singularity of Rashomon [more like rasHOMOn] and Beast Beneath the Moonlight) and Akutagawa and Atsushi learn more about each other as people, plus this is right before they make the six months promise. I really love seeing sskk together where they can actually talk, and don't just fight

And second of all, WHAT IS THIS FACE ATSUSHI??

he looks so into it 🙏

What in the home of sexual is that look, Atsushi 😭 it's already kinky af for Rashomon to wrap around his neck like that AND THEN ATSUSHI REACTS LIKE THAT

Also I'd like to mention Akutagawa is unusually gentle with Rashomon when he uses it on Atsushi

God they're so in love

Friendly reminder of that time when Atsushi saved Akutagawa from dying by body slam/grabbing him and then Akutagawa proceeded to use Rashomon to keep Atsushi safe as they crashed through the window in each other's arms

Made some sskk fanart to cope with chapter 121.5, as one does

Don't mind me still trying to find a style of digital art that I like 🙏

bsd 122 spoilers

bsd 122 in 4 words or less is basically, let's wrap this shit up. let's just go dawgs

bsd is literally just sskk's love story because what is this

Inlove typa shi bro

and then. What in the actual fuck. I didn't really expect that. bsd really loves their plot twists with no clear foreshadowing/set up

(tHeRe lIteRaLlY iS yOu juST—) WELL SORRY I DIDN'T NOTICE besides it's not exactly "no set up" it's just idk. I'm not sure what to call it. maybe unnecessary? but then again it's good for atsushi's character development but I feel like we already established that in the chapter where dazai tells him "but a child cries when a father dies". Ig it's also a representation that even if that's the case the memory of him will never leave him

It's kinda scary to think that Q's ability is still in effect even if it's just side effects but still wtf

also I guess what I mean by unnecessary is that well, can we just wrap this shit up please I want the british arc and verlaine gets out of the damn basement arc; like bsd was always a fantasy but this shi is really getting off rails now, I liked the balance between the real world and the abilities but now it's just what the fuck why are we in the 4th dimension. I miss the silly detective work :(

and dawg I WANNA SEE JOUNO POV SOMEONE ELSE'S POV PLEASE (JOUNOJOUNOJOUNOJOUNOJOUNO) If asagiri just makes a little mention on his 'funeral' and move on I'll jot down on his door. Asagiri if jouno doesn't come back soon, you WILL find me in front of your doorstep

it was funnier in my head
