people need to stop assuming that bsd dazai’s a suicidal character solely for comedic relief. he is not. he actually portrays the real dazai quite well. please don’t be fixated on the basic surface view of his character because there’s always something under a character’s mask. + https://twitter.com/torinomonty/status/1275071853900390401
as you go on in a series, much like any franchise out there, there is always a backstory to any major or minor character to give a reason for their actions, beliefs, and personality. asagiri did a good job trying to project the real dazai osamu in the bsd universe. +
dazai is not tasteless, so take a chance to actually observe his character by watching the anime? it‘s pretty sad to see such a blunt assumption. like i don’t know, watch the dark era episodes to see how a suicide-obsessed bandaged man is not what you assumed at first?
i’d like to add that the above tweets are not talking about the real and fiction dazai osamu suicidal tendencies. i’m not inclined to talk about that, but this was just a thread to show a point about how bsd dazai is not what you would’ve expected at first
another note: the way i’m relating the real dazai and fictional dazai is by their theme of estrangement. i should’ve clarified this earlier, but i’m not talking about the unhealthy actions that the real dazai has done (read his biography if you’re curious).
i’m not going to elaborate much on what happened in the real dazai’s life, but his idea of estrangement, the alienation that’s ultimately expressed in “no longer human”, paradoxically reveals how human people can be. this is difficult to explain, but i guess this could imply
that bsd dazai is not “detached” or suicidal just for entertainment. he’s being expressed this way in order to enhance his... mortality and feelings. for example, bsd dazai had expressed anguish during oda’s death and accepted oda’s wish to move from the bad to the good side.
the dark era is the best way to say to the readers and watchers of the series that dazai is not who you thought he was.
okay that was directed to a qrt but i just typed out my response here bc i need to clarify this to anybody that reads this
if you still disagree, that’s fine! your opinion’s totally okay, but i’m just defending my side without disregarding your own thoughts

okay bye i’m not typing anything else relating to this because i’m tired of writing serious threads for the past two days (such as my thread about my unpopular opinion about dazai)
— hi i just edited the last few tweets of this thread because my grammatical mistakes were pissing me off. i typed all that when i woke up, so i was prone to making errors :’))
anyway thanks for reading? i didn’t expect this attention again, but have a nice day!
