REASONS NOT TO HATE NAKAJIMA ATSUSHI (AND WHY YOU SHOULD AT LEAST APPRECIATE HIM A BIT MORE)âa threadâ
*no manga spoilers*
1. He is one of many characters in BSD who's had a rough past. He was abused, both physically and mentally, degraded and hated on by the people who raised him at the orphanage. It's understandable why he hated himself, after all his childhood traumatized him and made him believe
that he didn't deserve to live as he was useless, hated, and that there was no place that would welcome him. Him also being "whiny" about his past is explained by this.
2. He saved Yokohama multiple times. If it weren't for him running to Dazai with the doll when the Guild threatened to harm Yokohama using Q's ability, then 20% (and possibly even more) of the city's population would face casualties. Let's also mention the Moby Dick infiltration
where he and Akutagawa tag-teamed to prevent the Moby Dick from crashing in the middle of the city, and his suggestion on teaming up with the Port Mafia.
3. He aided in the character development of many other characters. He saved Kyouka from the bad side and brought her to the good side, turned Akutagawa into "a mafia member who does not kill", and reassured Lucy that she wasn't alone suffering.
4. "Dazai-san" this, "Dazai-san" that. What can you expect? He admires Dazai greatly because he was the one who completely changed his life when they first met. Dazai introduced him to the ADA, and Atsushi's grateful to him for that. Besides, he isn't the only one who does this.
Akutagawa does too (sskk canon :>)
5. He has wonderful character development. From hating himself and believing that he was worthless and wouldn't be accepted, he learned to accept his ability, found a place that welcomed him with open arms, and found his worth. He was able to overcome his struggles, to prove to
himself and to everyone that he was worthy of being alive. While he himself was developing, he also helped multiple other characters' developments like I said in number 2.
these are a few reasons that I thought of. atsushi baby is so underrated, i really hope that people would just stop complaining at how dazai shouldve been mc or smth along those lines. appreciate him a bit more, he isn't useless, he isn't a whiny weak mc.
obvs technically these are my opinions. you're free to think whatever you like. but i hope that by reading this thread, you somewhat think of atsushi a bit more than just a soft mc because he's not all that.
what do you think abt atsushi? is he underrated?

To add to the thread, A HAIRCUT IS A HAIRCUT. Atsushi didn't even choose to have that haircut, the kids from the orphanage cut it that way. He didn't find the need to fix it and go to a barber. Stop dragging him for something so sad and probably traumatized him.
