Bsd Poe was in the military and you cannot tell me otherwise, I mean come on the man can shoot a sniper where do you think he learned that from? Also irl Poe was in the military so there is some basis other then just him being able to shoot a sniper. Also Poe very obviously has some trauma, I mean come on you’re telling me the man with anxiety and implied depression, who the moment he loses a match against someone else begins to spiral into obsession and revenge plotting doesn’t have at least a little bit of trauma. I swear to god this fandom keeps mischaracterize's Poe as some kind of uwu soft boy, like no he has anxiety that doesn’t make him soft, I swear it’s like the entire fandom is just ignoring the SIX YEARS he spent trying to find the best way to beat ranpo, well that or write it of as him crushing on ranpo, no Poe wanted to beat ranpo to prove himself better, he failed but ranpo acknowledged him as a genius so some of those feelings died down. On that note can we talk about how the fandom doesn’t even treat Poe as a genius and it is infuriating yes he doesn’t do a lot but that’s because he’s constantly being outshined by ranpo, which something the fandom also doesn’t talk about is the fact that Poe is very dependent on ranpo, Poe has no friends other then ranpo so he constantly depends on him emotionally for support or just to feel valued, he gives ranpo anything he asks for and asks for nothing in return and not in a good way. Now this is no critique of ranpoe I love that ship it’s just so irritating to see people present them as if they have no problems at all. In conclusion Poe is very competent and probably was in the military, he just gets overshadowed a lot and misrepresented by fandom

I just realised the Akutagawa bitey scene was epic. Like not Bad. Who is actually paying the animators AND paying for old man yaoi. I will worship whomever tells me.

YAY!

Nobody Dies. Except Fukuchi, nobody likes him. LMFAO AYA did not die. Did you see the way Akutagawa held her. I headcanon that he is good with kids. Yay. Asagiri no longer hates children. Chuuya was never a Vampire. He just had Halloween teeth. Fyodor got stabbed. Soukoku are a freaking Circus Act. I had to wait 3 hrs to watch the damn episode. Because of stuff I had to do. Best 23:40 of my life.

Poe makes a comeback with the childhood scene. Is this a commentary I'm writing side my side? Yes! I'm so damn happy. Kunikida is alive and kicking. Nikolai is depressed. Why is he cradling Fyodor's detached arm. Oh wait, Fukuzawa is still Gay for Fukuchi. Teruko is NOT a cinammon roll. Bram Gets A Body™. Also we get a beautiful Aya and Bram in the sunset.

LOOK at Akutagawa's outfit. They're Gay Your Honor™.

Of course Bungou Stray Dogs is trending again.

Dazai: Hey, Chuuya, be a vampire. Chuuya: No

TWO HOURS LATER

Chuuya: Why shouldn't I kill you for real? Dazai: Because then I won't give you the tooth glue remover. Chuuya: Fine

Fyodor Will Be Fine

Back to writin' this. Assuming that the anime is following hte manga's path (likely), Fyodor's gonna be fine y'all. Eventually.

I mean, first and most obviously, we still don't know Fyodor's ability. That's kinda important lol and set up as a major mystery.

Fyodor as Jesus

Fyodor's last words are "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" aka Jesus' last words (or among his last words). I mean, think about what happens after Jesus dies. It's kinda the whole basis of Christianity.

But there's another layer to the whole Fyodor=Jesus thing. Actually, a couple layers. See, Dostoyevsky was himself very Christian, as much theologian as novelist. So the comparison very much makes sense.

Jesus is the Son of God in Christianity... and Fyodor? He's also the son of God.

God is a Character

This God figure Fyodor references is probably an actual person, and God is probably Tolstoy. I'm sorry but there is 0 chance we are getting Dostoyevsky and a whole host of Russian novelists but not Tolstoy who could have "War and Peace" as his ability. Not to mention... the set up is kinda perfect?

Tolstoy's three novels are War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and... Resurrection. Gee I wonder what his ability might be and how that ties into Fyodor (it's also surely not unheard of for Asagiri to use multiple literary references in an ability).

What is Tolstoy's relationship with Fyodor? Probably a parent-child one. I'd say it's extremely obvious, actually, that parent/child relationships are a main theme of this arc, even if the parental-child relationships are not actual flesh and blood.

Gogol-Fyodor parallel Chuuya-Dazai, Kunikida-Dazai, Tecchou-Jouno, and Atsushi-Akutagawa. All of these pairings also have parental figures (Mori, Fukuzawa, Fukichi, Dazai) except Gogol-Fyodor, who are themselves parental figures to Sigma. I highly doubt Fyogol is the exception, though.

If there is no god, then I am god

Anyways if Tolstoy is introduced, it would kinda be perfect to have him thematically in this role of family. Because the real life Tolstoy was actually terrible to his family despite his altruistic, idealistic pacifism that directly influenced Gandhi (with whom he corresponded). And also because he wrote one of the most famous opening lines in all of literature which would kinda sorta address all the pseudo-parental relationships in the entire story:

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way

It fits super perfectly.
