Bonus clip from Bungou Stray Dogs BEAST movie (2)

One of the four short movies that were screened before each of the BEAST movie show, where the actors explained the cinema rules to viewers, but in the movie settings. I posted the one with Atsushi and Akutagawa HERE but this skk one is really funny too. The other two clips feature Dazai & Oda, and Ranpo.

PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD THE VIDEO ANYWHERE AND REFRAIN FROM POSTING TOO MANY SCREENSHOTS. AND PLEASE BUY THE DVD TO SUPPORT THE AUTHORS AND THE CASTS IF YOU CAN!

hey did you guys know that the one bit in the beast movie, during the dragon's head rush sequence, where dazai stabs himself in the thigh to try to convince chuuya to trust him on using corruption is like, right out of my favorite shakespeare play.

For context here, this is Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. That's the Brutus that is going to stab Caesar. He's been keeping his plans and meetings with other conspirators secret from his wife, Portia.

To prove to Brutus that she can be trusted with this secret, she stabs herself in the thigh while begging him to trust that she will not do him wrong.

Here's the transcribed (slightly paraphrased/edited) scene from the movie I'm talking about, at about 1:00:33 in the movie

C: So there is no way after all? D: Not really. After [Shibusawa] is down, I will suppress Arahabaki’s rage with my skill, then it should be okay. That’s why I came here. C: In other words, if you decide to cut corners… he and I will go down together, and you are the only one who gains from it, right? How can I believe you in this situation? D: That’s right. However, Chuuya… You have to believe me. [This is where Dazai stabs himself in the thigh.] To protect this world, I can’t lose either Chuuya, or the Port Mafia. C: Don’t you dare mess up, Dazai. D: Do it, Chuuya!

I am super normal about this. By the way. Its essentially the same principle as the scene between Brutus and Portia in Julius Caesar. Which is... really interesting, honestly, as Portia is often portrayed to be a very good and noble, selfless, character, which... Beastzai is many things, but I'm not sure that's how I'd describe him. It's kind of also interesting giving Chuuya the Brutus parallel, when if anything he's been given the Caesar treatment in the past. Its almost as if their put into roles opposite their general characters, or at least that offer a wider contrast. This crossover of my favorite media overall and my favorite Shakespeare play does things to me.

Beast End Credit Scene

Major Beast Spoilers ahead just warning you now.

I finally finished watching the Beast movie and I need to talk about something right now. I don't have access to my copy of the light novel but for those of you who watched the movie, did the end credit scene happen in the book? Because I am going feral over it right now. I saw a picture of it somewhere on the internet but I thought it was a cosplay but it's real and I'm kind of freaking out.

Just the idea of Dazai dying and then Chuuya going fucking ballistic destroying a whole shit ton of government officials? He goes on to explain how pissed he was that he wasn't the one to kill Dazai but I don't believe it, given that his next order was to destroy the people he thought were responsible for Dazai's death? I ship them (If that wasn't clear by this point) and I had an idea for a fanfiction that was pretty damn similar to what happened in the movie and so this scene kinda freaked me out.

So just, did anyone else see it? Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Concerns? I would love to talk about it :)))

BEAST Movie Pamphlet Translation (1)

My translation of the interview with Taniguchi Masashi (Oda Sakunosuke role) and Tabuchi Rui (Dazai Osamu role) on the BEAST movie. This interview was included in the movie pamphlet sold at the cinema. (I tweeted sort of a summary of this on Twitter so some of you might find it familiar. This is the full, direct translation)

I tried my best to keep my translation accurate, but I don't speak either English or Japanese as my native language so there might be some mistakes here and there. Please feel free to retranslate it if you want, just keep in mind that some meanings, though little, might have been lost in translation.

I also plan to translate other interviews in the same pamphlet in the near future. The translation is under the cut, have fun reading.

Q: How did you feel when you were cast in this hypothetical, “if” story where Atsushi and Akutagawa switch place in Bungou Stray Dogs?

Tabuchi: I have been involved in the world of Bungou Stray Dogs from the stage DEAD APPLE, but while playing Dazai Osamu, I could really feel the magnitude of not being able to experience the Dark Era that was performed in the past. That’s why I was so excited to learn that I would be able to perform in BEAST this time, which includes some scenes from that era, though just a little. Taniguchi: When I got the offer for the stage Dark Era and watched the anime, I asked myself, “Can I really do it?” I felt that it was a role that I seriously need to be prepared for. At the time, I faced it thinking that “Now that I have accepted the role, I am going to make it a legend, once and for all”. I talked about that again and again in various places, so it is a little embarrassing for me to casually come back to it this time (laughs). Back then, I did hear people say, “Please let us get to BEAST.” but I tried not to overthink things so I didn’t touch anything other than Dark Era. Thankfully, I was called again and finally read it for the first time but…  then I realized I need to get myself prepared again. Q: What is it about the BEAST story that attracted you and also how did u deepen your understanding of your role? Taniguchi: For me, one of Bungou Stray Dogs’ charms is the setting where the people who create the story are the greatest. And among them, I felt that Oda Sakunosuke, probably the only one who tried to become a “novelist”, is a very noble man. Moreover, I found it very interesting that “a man who wants to create a story” is friend with a man who possesses the power to annihilate others’ skills and wants to kill himself on top of that, or in other words, “a man who wants to end the story”. However, to think that one difference somewhere can change the world that much… And the contrast between the main story in which “Oda loses his life and Dazai continues his story” and the development where “Dazai protects Oda’s story and loses everything” left me speechless. I think the fact that the two of them, and Ango too, probably, could never come to a fulfilling ending where they are together is the work of a writer, and it shows how amazing Asagiri-sensei is.

Tabuchi: BEAST is a world that makes us think again about how important Oda Sakunosuke is to Dazai. After we finished filming, I went and performed in “Dazai, Chuuya, Fifteen years old” on stage. And in the past, Dazai was trying to grasp the whole perspective of living by feeling close to death in Port Mafia. But I think after the encounter with Oda Sakunosuke, that encounter has become his whole reason for living.

Taniguchi: The biggest different about Oda in this “if” world, for me, is the fact that Dazai was played by Rui. Because honestly speaking, Dark Era was a stage that I had poured everything into Dazai, played by Tawada Hideya, to create. But this time, when Rui showed up on the set, how should I put it, he had a really serious look on his face (laughs). When I saw that extraordinary determination, I thought, “I’m gonna do this for his Dazai” and I’m gonna say the best “Don’t call me Odasaku” to him.

Tabuchi: Thank you very much. I am so happy to be able to work with Taniguchi-san, whom I had seen on the stage footages again and again and thought was Oda Sakunosuke himself.

Taniguchi: Of course, the battle between Atsushi and Akutagawa was also important, but the one who created and was trying to protect this world was Dazai. If a novel is something written for the protagonist, then for me that protagonist is Dazai, my first thought was what kind of influence I could have on him. This is just a metaphor, but no matter how good your ex-girlfriend was, it would be so uncool if you cannot love the current lover who is with you now with all you’ve got. The time I created with this guy is my “BEAST”. Tabuchi: Taniguchi-san, you’re so cool. Taniguchi: No, I was scary on set, wasn’t I? Because I was mean. Actually, the other cast did ask me to take care of Rui, but it wasn’t the kind of play that you could go “Don’t be so tense, it’s gonna be fine” casually like that. Instead, I decided not to talk to him at all. And in that atmosphere, I was able to receive what came from Rui and tackle it as Odasaku with all my might.

Q: The encounter between Dazai and Oda at Bar Lupin was a signature scene of BEAST, with a tense atmosphere that even a drop of emotion overflowing could cause it to crumble. Tabuchi: That scene was… As Taniguchi-san just said, I didn’t get to talk to him on set, and my memory was fuzzy because of the tension, the pressure and all the other emotions that swirled around me. Taniguchi: Desperation, right? Tabuchi: Yes. Dazai knows Oda, but Oda doesn’t know him. That was linked to my hopeless frustration and impatience of not being able to be a part of Dark Era, and I went beyond Dazai as a character and felt myself struck by the words “Don’t call me Odasaku.” The only things that can move Dazai’s emotions to the point of crying are the things about Oda. Then, when I suddenly couldn’t stop crying, the Director was like, “Wait! Don’t cry now.” (laughs) Taniguchi: That couldn’t be helped. Deep inside, I kept thinking about how I could not, as Oda, just say, “Thank you for letting me write my novel.” to Dazai. And it would pain me even if I said that. But Director Sakamoto shot that same scene again and again from many different angles so I was overflowing too (laughs). Crying definitely doesn’t equal good acting, but I think it was a scene that both of us put a lot of emotions in. We humans play the characters’ feelings, and it is exactly why no matter how cool we try to make them, somewhere in the depths of our eyes, there is always something wavering and it shows. I think that is probably the “0.5” of what we refer to as “2.5 dimensional” (2.5D) works. It was also my first time playing a stage character on the big screen, so I didn’t know how it would turn out. But I found it very interesting because there are things that could only be seen when projecting it up close, and I was able to use my consciousness in a different way from usual, in “a space with just the two of us”, without any audience. Tabuchi: I was also happy because we got to film the scene in the actual Bar Lupin. It gave me strength. Taniguchi: That’s right. When I saw the photos of the real Dazai-san and Odasaku-san there, I got a feeling about how the two of them couldn’t live together even if they were laughing with each other like that, and I was moved by the power of the place. My head almost went crazy from saying the same line all over again, but we had the luxury of spending a whole day shooting the scene and I was happy with that.

Q: What are your impressions of the other co-stars throughout the filming? Taniguchi: If felt somewhat strange to be with Akutagawa in the Detective Agency. Like, so if he were on this side, he would be able to laugh like that? I have known Hashimoto Shohei who plays Akutagawa for a long time. And we had done a lot of roles as a duo so I didn’t worry at all. But I did wonder if I would be able to act seriously with a guy whose har is only white on his sideburns (laughs). But I didn’t mind at all, thanks to the skill of the makeup artists, of course, and also because he fit the role so well. He got that great presence of someone who had carried the role on stage so far, and every single expression of him was flawless. I “co-star” with Torigoe-kun at bars and pubs a lot, but it was a pity that I did not get to interact with him this time. Tabuchi: This time, I was instructed “not to smile so much” when messing with Chuuya, so it was different from the usual joyful manner. Contrary to the hierarchical relationship in Port Mafia, Tori-san and Ue-chan are both my big seniors in real life, but I was very grateful because they always let me relax behind the scenes. Q: This is a question in reference to the theme of this movie. Have you ever felt the existence of a BEAST inside you, either as an actor or an individual? Tabuchi: I have been holding back the BEAST that wants to go drinking with his friends for almost two years now I think I’m going to lose it! Tori-san and others are not the type to talk about the play when we drink, but even the most trivial conversation would mean a lot and I have a lot of things I want to hear after this production.

Taniguchi: Just the other day, I was reading a book that said something along the line of, “No matter how angry you get, no matter how hard you fight, they say the world is not going to change. But even if the world is not going to change, you yourself can change.” and it hit very hard with the me right now. The moment you give up on the things you want to do, the world becomes even more of a boring place to you and that is really the end of everything. I think an actor’s way of life plays an important role in deciding how much he can bring out what is inside him while immersing himself in the work, and I always want to keep such an “angry” beast inside. Especially this time, I felt like I was able to release my inner BEAST through playing Oda, with a lot of hard action scenes involved. So, I want to keep doing so in the future. Q: Finally, please have some messages for the fans. Taniguchi: Anyway, now I’m looking forward to the completion of the movie. The filming was delayed due to Corona, but I never wanted it to be cancelled. It is Torigoe and Shouhei who supported Dark Era even though they were not in it, because they have a burning desire to make Bungo Stray Dogs the best thing ever. It is Rui who stood up and took on the role with such a strong will that made me want to become a force to connect them. I myself also poured my life into it. I hope this will be an opportunity for those who are unfamiliar with the work to learn that such an interesting tale exists and that it is put together by such interesting people. Tabuchi: I have only been acting for about two years and there was a possibility that my lack of ability would make this movie less interesting. So, I confronted it thinking I have to do it with all I’ve got. The scene at Lupin was where I confirmed my determination. I thought, “If this doesn’t go well, I’d better give up on acting.” I think I would have never had that thought had I not encountered the role of Dazai Osamu. I never thought that I had managed to grasp everything about him, but I was able to experience his feelings towards the world that he had continued to create to keep Odasaku alive and that was an irreplaceable experience that would change the stages I play later as well as my future life as an actor. I hope that a lot of people will watch this movie and I will be very happy if you will find “2.5D” something that is appreciated all over the world.

[shitsumon-abound]

Regarding Chuuya in BEAST Movie :

Disclaimer, I haven’t watched the movie, but there’s video of Chuuya scenes that I’ve watched.

The event 6 years ago, the dragon head conflict.

Chuuya went to Shibusawa on his own in what appears to be an abandoned building. Shibusawa had dragons after him, and he’s hiding behind pillars. Even so, Dazai was also there.

They bickered. 

C : Why the fuck are you here? If I’m dead you’d be an executive, you know.

D : Don’t misunderstand Chuuya. I’d be an executive even if you’d lived

C : WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SAY ANNOYING SHIT LIKE THAT

D : Really? Sorry, I never noticed. (with hand clasped and head a bit bowed and obviously sarcastic)

They run around together, and then Dazai commented that there’s a way to beat Shibusawa. That is, Arahabaki. There’s nothing that can survive Arahabaki, but when Chuuya asked about the catch, Dazai confirmed that unleashing Arahabaki would kill Chuuya.

Chuuya then commented back that it means Dazai got nothing. Dazai continued that he’s there because he can cancel Arahabaki, and Chuuya wouldn’t have to die. Chuuya of course, doesn’t believe that he would.

Dazai agreed that it’s hard to believe him in this kind of situation, so he stabbed his own thigh. 

Dazai : I’ll protect this world. For that, I can’t let both Port Mafia and Chuuya die.

There’s nothing said about why Dazai did, but Chuuya finally reluctantly agreed, telling Dazai to not die of bloodloss. Dazai told him to go get them, similar to how he encouraged Chuuya to beat Lovecraft during the Three Company Conflict.

==

The aftermath.

Chuuya is tied up and chained after having gone on rampage, and requested to see Atsushi. When Atsushi greeted him with ‘Chuuya-san’, he snapped at him to call him Boss since he’s the Boss of Port Mafia now. But Atsushi is no longer part of Port Mafia, so he won’t abide to that.

He quit just as Dazai wanted him to.

Chuuya asked bitterly who the fuck Dazai is.

Atsushi asked if he went on a rampage until caught and chained up like this by the government because Dazai is dead. 

Chuuya told Atsushi that he’s the one who’s supposed to kill Dazai. He’s just the worst person, and Chuuya felt horrible all the time with him as a partner, and he angrily claimed he held out for seven long years. He’s been looking forward to the moment he can kill Dazai. But he died,　just like that, without ever telling him why.

Atsushi asked for his reason to summon him. Chuuya told him that he has a job for him. He doesn’t want Atsushi to be his man, he wants Atsushi to be his eraser and erase the Detective Agency from the map and phonebook. In other words, from existence. He said those who killed the previous boss can’t be left alone like that, or the Mafia’s prestige would be dragged down through the mud.

Atsushi claimed that he’s only in the Mafia because Dazai was there, meaning he couldn’t care less about Mafia now. When he’s about to leave though, Chuuya commented about how Kyouka agreed to his order. Atsushi claimed that he feels Chuuya wanting to wage war against the detectives is well within Dazai’s expectation, implying that even if Kyouka agreed, he still wouldn’t.

Chuuya laughed.

He told Atsushi that if thats true, then that would mean Dazai should still be alive when Mafia and Detectives are going after each other.

Chuuya : Or what? You don’t want to take revenge for Dazai?

==

HOLY SHIT CHUUYA.

This is painful. The ending is painful.

It’s been a long time since I got goosebumps watching or reading anything and it’s because Chuuya, the ‘YO I POPPED UP 89 YEAR OLD WINE TO CELEBRATE YOU LEAVING MAFIA’ and ‘IMMA FIND YOU A SUICIDAL LADY IF IT MEANS YOU DYING SOONER’ dude to literally literally went mad after Dazai is dead. He lost his mind. 

I have no words. 

The interesting thing here is that in Dragon Head Conflict, Dazai had to convince Chuuya to use Corruption, where in the flashback from Dead Apple, Chuuya used it of his own volition out of rage from having his men killed. Dazai’s declaration also meant that he already knew of original Dazai’s memory since that long ago, or maybe since even before. 

Also, I’m not sure of the whole movie, but beside the two scenes I’m describing in length, Chuuya was always dismissed by Dazai. First is on the scene when Atsushi is reporting to Dazai, and Chuuya is suspicious of him, but then Dazai told him to leave the room so he can have private talk with Atsushi. The next is during unspecified time in which Dazai is just zoning out and literally ignores Chuuya when he’s trying to talk to him.

That guy went from being considered important in Dazai’s world (albeit to protect Odasaku) to literally made to feel inconsequential. Dazai just died, as if nothing matters anymore. The reverse of hatred isn't love, it's apathy and realizing Dazai didn't even care about him broke Chuuya.

BEAST Chuuya is now a lost cause, and I imagine it’s easy for Fyodor to use him at this rate. It’s not beyond imagination for the reverse of canon to happen now, with Fyodor releasing Chuuya from his prison and Chuuya deciding to just use Arahabaki as the last fuck you against Dazai. 

If Dazai wants to protect the world, then Chuuya would destroy it.

BEAST universe isn’t going to last long.
