Thou Shalt Not Die Ability Analysis

Ok people, the brain rot won't leave so I'm making it everyone's problem now.

I have 2 theories about how Yosano's ability, Thou Shalt Not Die works and has changed.

So we know from Yosano's backstory that she didn't always have to half-kill people or have them fatally injured. We see her heal perfectly "fine" people who aren't on the verge of death but are injured badly enough to warrant taking them out of the fight. This means that the way her ability originally functioned was ideal and really quite amazing because she could heal anything without requirements attached to her ability.

So when did the change of Yosano can heal anything, big or small, to, Yosano can only heal fatal injuries?

I think it happened here, in this scene where Mori shoot Tachihara's brother to get Yosano to heal him.

Why do I think it happened here? Well at this point Yosano has been run to exhaustion and she's seen a lot of "death" at this point without having actually seen death. I think her watching Mori "kill" someone to make her heal changed something about how her ability functions. This first theory is mainly based off of the theory that trauma is where abilities stem from and can therefore change them. In addition, Yosano says that she wants to save the lives in front of her. She's placing the condition that she must be saving a life for her ability to work here and Mori is solidifying it by almost killing Tachihara's brother.

2. Yosano simply chooses not to heal someone if they aren't severely injured. This is either done subconsciously or consciously.

Subconsciously is likely the result of her working as a doctor in the Great War, because again, Yosano has seen so much during the war. It's likely that she can not bring herself to heal small injuries again after watching Tachihara's brother die. I also believe that it might be her way of minimizing her "correctness" (this is in reference to the fact that Tachihara's brother tells Yosano before he dies that she is "too right/just/correct" depending on the translation) and her way of coping with what happened to her.

Consciously, I feel like is less likely but still possible. If Yosano is the one to seriously injure and maim the patient, then she is in full control. She knows how close to death they are, their mental state, and how best to heal them. This also prevents people from coming to her for injuries, once again minimizing her "correctness". This also allows Yosano to prevent what happened to Tachihara's brother from happening again.

All in all I think that Yosano is just absolutely fascinating and we really don't see any other abilities in BSD that did what Yosano's did.

#i love yosano #I want to pick her up and give her a hug #I think that her ability is so facinating tho #its the only one that heals in bsd #besides atsushi #but atsushi only heals himself so he doesn't really count #the bsd brain rot is strong #and it's only going to get worse #also i think that if Tachihara ever finds out that Mori almost killed his brother in order to get yosano to heal him #and really being the reason his brother decided to commit suicide #I think tachihara's gonna have some loyalty problems #which sucks because I really love that tachihara is happy in the port mafia #Also can you see the anguish in yosano's eyes when mori shoots tachihara's brother #I'm so normal about her #I wrote this all fancy like #like it was for an english class #and now im just being feral in the tags #bungou stray dogs #bsd yosano #bsd mori #bsd tachihara #bsd tachihara's brother #bsd #yosano akiko #akiko yosano

Hello! Duck anon here again!

This is weird. A matchmaker who is not loaded with requests? :0

Um, ok, here we go then! (///￣￣///)

I am a girl, 21 years old.

I prefer men. (There aren't many women in BSD though, so there's not much choice. XD)

I like men who value their family and wish to start one too. I love men who are initiative and have goals that they try to reach. My partner's motive needs to be about helping people, making them happy, because only then a person would strive to be kind no matter how much he/she struggles. I am also not very good with earning money, so I want my partner to be good at it or else we are both dying in some dark alleyway poor and in love. XD

I like to laugh, so my partner's humour shouldn't be bland. Even though I can be serious and most people think I am strict because of my stern face, I don't think that a serious person x serious person is a very good combo.

However, I also know that I am very lazy, so I really need someone who would put me in line to do work instead of anything other than that.

I love my sister and we are inseparable. Wherever I go, she goes. Whatever she does, I do. We like to laugh together and our conversations are usually silly and useless. (My mother compares us to birds, because we cheerfully 'chirp' about nothing.)

I love writing. I want to become a teacher, but if that dream fails, I will be a children book writer for sure.

I like drawing, but I'm not that good of an artist like my sister.

I like watching anime (Spy X Family, Komi-san Can't Communicate, Yo Boy Kongmin, Mob Psycho 100, Haikyuu are my favourite actually), but I don't do it lately.

I like watching character analysis and theories. Sometimes I listen how a certain author came up with certain ideas.

I don’t like people who don't pick sides and change their opinion according to what the others say. They look weak.

I don’t like people who don't accept how they are, yet they tell that they love themselves. To sum it up, I don't like liars who don't want to admit that they have personal problems. I really want to slap them to bring them back to their senses.

I generally don't like liars who refuse to see the truth that stands right in front of them. Lying is OK on some occasions and it can save you from an unnecessary conflict at times, but there's a limit.

Oh, I also don't like rice and pudding. Yuck. I prefer sweets. >:P

I have very bad hair (they don't grow well, hence they are short) and they are brown/blonde. I have acne (I have lots of dark postacne blemishes and there are acne scars on my face. Luckily, there aren't as many pimples nowadays.) I am 178cm/5ft9in. I have a very poor eye sight to the point I can't see a person's face two meters away from me, but I refuse to wear glasses because I look like a strict teacher in them.

I think that's all. I hope it's not too much! ^^;;

Remember to take rests! :D Have lots of inspiration for your stories and other hobbies! ~✨ I hope you're having fun with your writing! C:

He might be soft hearted but…

I think Atsushi could be quite a nice fit! He probably would also adore the idea of a family and providing for children instead of leaving them alone. His family would be based in peace and reassurance and I think it would be the gentle environment anyone could hope for. He’s a little awkward for sure but I think he’d also appreciate your jokes, and someone sterner who’s better at reinforcing both of your boundaries.

Working at the ADA together would be perfect, he takes the dangerous work and you could either do something similar, or stay behind and work on safer jobs. It’s a good environment for struggling with work, considering everyone puts up with Dazai, you needing a break every now and then is more than fine.

He’s a sappy man and I think you’d only help him grow further past his traumas. Sometimes he lies to himself, which you’d quickly put a stop to. Or at least heavily encourage him to quit it. He’s insecure but I fully believe a relationship is working towards the betterment of yourselves together. It shouldn’t be an Olympian task but feeling like you’ve earned a safety and love can’t compare to everything coming easy. Past that… not liking rice? Fine by him, that’s just more of his favourite food in the world for him! But he’d obviously accommodate for you.

As for your appearance, even if you were insecure about it… it wouldn’t bother Atsushi. Not at all, never could he think to judge such uncontrollable conditions. He’s scarred too, it’s for different reasons but I think he’d find a certain beauty in it. I also think he’d appreciate the fact you love your family. He never had it, and can only hope they’d love him too.

I hope this is a nice result for you my lovely Duck anon! 🦆 You stumped me a little at first but I can absolutely see the lovely tiger man being supportive, and you talking some sense into his trauma fuelled anxiety. He doesn’t mean to be the way he is, it’s just a hard life sometimes ✨

On the topic of BSD mental issues..

Because a lot of people in this fandom just LOVE to bestow their own mental problems on characters and even go so far as to claim not a single BSD character is mentally alright, I went on a little rant to debunk this bulshit of a claim. If you’re one of those who support the “everyone is mentally ill because I said so” theory, don’t even bother reading this, please, and save us both the time.

If you do read, however, please keep in mind those are just my opinions and analysis and why I personally find the claim that everyone is mentally ill bulshit. You’re free to believe what you want but I’ve had multiple people come spurting out insults at me simply for not believing every single character is mentally diasbled.

First, our beloved ADA Atsushi - He's actually doing really well. Sure, he's not 100% ok but we were given no serious childhood trauma impacts (except for flashbacks that don't really... do anything to him mentally except for motivating him to do better which is, you know, not a sign of mental illness), he doesn't have self-destructive tendencies, he doesn't feel like he owes the society anything but he doesn't slip to nihilism either. His motivations are humane and sane and relatable. I mean, if anyone told you your friends would be in mortal danger if you stay with them, wouldn't you try to get away from them too? Dazai - Ok, Dazai is far from stable. He still handles his issues surprisingly well though and his constant suicide attempts are really played off as a joke, which is not the best way to handle them but it takes a lot of seriousness from it and kind of makes it hard to believe it's what he actually wants to do with his life. Especially since there are times where he goes out of his way to make sure he stays alive (Dead Apple being just one example). Kunikida - Arguably one of the most stable characters in the show. Some people claim he has OCD but have you ever seen an actual OCD patient? His love for schedules and hard time when they can't be kept is something that runs in my family and nobody has ever been diagnosed with OCD. People need to realize that having your life planned out is not a mental illness. Yosano - I'm a little more benevolent about Yosano, especially since she has a more psychotic side to her and she seems actually damaged by her childhood but I stiil stand my point that she is doing extremely well for someone who supposedly has a mental illness. It's almost as if the "insane" side of her was purposedly overblown for comedic purposes. Ranpo - I know a lot of people say he's autistic but I don't agree with that hc. Why? Well, I have a classmate who's not autistic and she's exactly like him. She's smart, almost genius, has great deduce skills and brilliant crime-solving abilities (tested multiple times with Black Stories or whatever that game is called in english) but she is unable to live on her own. She knows close to nothing about real life, skills used for everyday functioning and as for public transport, she only learnt how to use it recently and she's almost 19 years old. I also have an autistic friend who specifically said he'd find it insulting to hear that Ranpo is supposedly autistic. Tanizaki - I'm not sure what to say here, Tanizaki is a normal guy. Nothing special about him. He's willing to go great lengths for his little sister but I think anyone with younger siblings can relate to that. At least anyone who cares for their younger siblings. Kenji - Go on and tell me how Kenji of all people has a mental illness, I dare you. And if you pull out his cheeriness, you're obviously just too depressed to fathom that some people might actually enjoy life. Fukuzawa - Again, one of the most stable characters in the series. Say what you will but he's not unstable and his ability to stay calm at almost any situation except for when his kids are in danger is just further proof of this. Kyouka - I'd say she might have issues. My afforementioned autistic classmate pointed out that she feels autistic to him so there's that. Also her childhood visibly screwed her over. However, she's still surprisingly stable and normal despite all of that so while she might have some issues, they are greatly balanced by her strong will and natural personality. Naomi - I wouldn't say Naomi is 100% ok in the head but not to a point where I'd claim an actual mental illness. Sure, I'm not a doctor but nor is anyone who diagnoses her with whatever it is they diagnose her with. Haruno - And exactly what is wrong about Haruno? She's cute, positive, cheery, hard-working and supportive. And she gets scared in situations that invoke this. Literally NOTHING weird.

Next up is our dear Port Mafia Akutagawa - No denying it, Aku has serious issues. Again though, he's doing far better than most people with similar problems but that could just be due to him letting his frustrations out via murder. Chuuya - No issue found here. Sure, he's a little short-tempered but that's about it. A lot of people are short-tempered without being mentally ill. And he could be portrayed with some serious issues due to his origin and past. Gin - Do we even know enough about her to diagnoze her? All we know is that she's silent, a little shy and that she's always on odds with Tachihara. Make me a diagnosis from that. Higuchi - Aside from her massive crush on Aku, there's nothing weird about her. She probably picked the wrong job but she's willing to work hard anyway to earn her place there,, which is not exactly typical for people with mental illnesses. Hirotsu - STABLE PERSON. Just... what else is there to him? He is literally the voice of reason who commands the black lizard solely because he can actually keep them under control. Geez, there is literally nothing linking him to any mental problem! Kajii - This guy's got issues, no denying it. And I won't even say he could do worse because obviously he could but he's fairly close to being the insanest (is that a word?) he can get. Kouyou - Oh look, ANOTHER completely stable person. I mean, come on, she's been an executive since Dazai and Chuuya were 15, that's seven years. Clearly she couldn't hold her position if she weren't stable. Not to mention, we saw her being stable in stressing situations so. many. times. Elise - She's an ability. No comment. Mori - Yes, he has his issues. But he's the hypercompetent Mafia boss who stayed in charge for a very long time already and there's no sign of anyone overthrowing him any time soon, nor planning to because he's just a great leader, something he couldn't be if he was mentally ill. Oda - Do I even need to elaborate on this? Oda is very probably the sanest person we got, one who sees the wrongs of his past and does his best to overcome them and repent, all of which goes without him being depressed or self-loathing in the slightest. Randou - This has been talked about a lot. Randou is sensitive and impulsive and sometimes acts on emotions rather than rationallity. None of that makes him a mentally ill person. It just makes him a person, a human being we can all relate to. Ace - Ace is a selfish human being who thinks too highly of himself and is manipulative and abusive. Is that a problem? Yes, obviously. Is that a mental illness? Not necessarily and more likely no than yes. He does things for his personal gain and everything went his way for far too long for him to expect it to go any other way. And as we all know, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutelly. Q - Does anyone really think Q is sane?

Now for the group that so many people dislike it’s honestly sad, the Guild Francis - Francis is, first and foremost, a very loving husband and father. He goes on this insane mission to Japan to obtain a mystical object he believes is real but never got any deffinite proof of. Is he naive? Perhaps so. And after he loses, he gets depressed and broken because he finds out his wedding ring disappeared, probably because his wife did something. That breaks him. And honestly? He has every right to break down. It's understandable and human and it does not make him mentally ill. Louisa - While yes, she is very shy and some argue she has some sort of anxiety disorder, all of this can be explained by the fact that she's practically a child. She's 18 dammit. Who could leave their home country at 18 only with an organization of older people, who also all seem very sure of themselves, while having no combat ability and nothing to really bring to the table? If she were mentally weak, there's no way she'd go looking for Francis after his fall, it's actually more likely she'd hurry back home, probably with tears and fear of being arrested if she were to stay in Japan for longer. Margaret - Name me one thing that makes you think Margaret of all people would have a mental issue. One thing. Most of her screentime is her being a vegetable. And while that is certainly a health problem, not a mental health one. Nathaniel - Hey, he was completely ok before meeting Fyodor. Being religious is not a mental health problem and f you if you say otherwise. John - Again, nothing unstable about John. He's not even that selfish, doing what he can to support his family and even picking up the remainings of the Guild to keep the people together and give them new hope because, y'know, hope is very important to people. Lovecraft - He's not even human. You can't apply human mental health logic to him. Herman - We've seen him for how much... 2 minutes total? And even from just that, he seemed like a calm and composed guy. No sign of mental problems whatsoever. Mark - He's hyper, that's what people say at least. But is he really? Kind of hard to believe when all we've seen of him is two scenes of adrenalin rush, one scene where he tries to lift the spirits of his coworkers and one scene where he just decides to go back home because this adventure is obviously over. No sign of mental illness here either. Lucy - A little more visible traumatic impact than with Atsushi and some abandonment issues, which are completely understandable and relatable. Not necessarily a mental illness. Poe - Ok so Poe doesn't feel well in company of others and he is a little psychotic when he gets too into his self-assigned role but 1) introverts are not mentally ill and 2) it's completely natural to get carried away when we witness the person we believe wronged us getting some karma back.

The one group that appeared for such a short time, yet everyone seems to love them, the Rats Fyodor - The most obvious god complex, clearly. He's not sane but he's stable so there's that. Nobody says he's ok, he's clearly not. But he's composed and smart enough to not let his issues control him. Ivan - Part of his brain is literally gone. He's not ok. he can't be. And unless part of your brain is missing too, you physically can't relate to him. Pushkin - Actually a stable, understandable character. Weak men are known through all of history to be the causes of major drama simply because their complexes over being weak lead to them finding joy in torturing the strong. It's not a mental illness, it's just bad character. Oguri - Clearly, Ogugu has issues. Call it survivor's guilt or PTSD or whatever you want, he has issues. Nobody is denying that. Still, he's doing fairly well when not desperatelly trying to seem evil.

I do not feel like doing the Hunting Dogs for the sole reason of me not liking them enough to focus on their mental states but they are pretty much lab rats, artificially enhanced humans and that alone should be enough to explain why I don’t believe in applying normal psychology to them. As for the Decay of Angels, there’s still much more to learn about them so I won’t get into that just yet. And when it comes to the governmental agents, I haven’t read the novels so I only know a bit about Ango and I honestly don’t see how anyone could think Ango has a mental illness.

I repeat again, these are my opinions, based on my experiences and what I’ve studied about mental illnesses (because believe it or not, I study about these things quite a lot). It doesn’t fit except for Tumblr romanticised versions of them and even those are iffy. You’re free to agree and disagree with all of this or with just certain parts but please don’t feel required to share your thoughts, I frankly don’t much care.

With that I bid you goodbye, at least until another thing prompts me to make a long-ass analysis almost nobody will read, nor care for.

BSD movie trailer is out and so is my tinfoil hat

Quotes taken from here

Ok, so, the Bungou Stray Dogs trailer just came out today and after I was done with all my squealing and fangirling, I realized I have one too many questions about all of it, therefore I did not hesitate to put on one too many tinfoil hats. And so, my theory discussion begins.Five seconds in the trailer and I was already going “Ok, awesome, but what in the living hell??”. Let’s be honest here, that castle is astounding, but with its appearance came a lot of questions: Where is it located? Whose is it? Why haven’t we seen it in the series before? What’s its purpose? Why were Dazai, Fyodor and the recently introduced to the public character, Shibusawa, in it? And many more. But I’m going to take a look at these four today, as I’m mostly wondering about them. Let’s start! :D

Where is it located? There isn’t much details or information to suggest where the exact whereabouts of this palace are, not even in the translations of the plot of the movie I stumbled upon. But if I were to guess, I highly doubt it’d be anywhere in Yokohama or even near it, as we would have seen it at a certain point in the main series. Although, it is still most likely somewhere in Japan, for a bit I thought it could also be in Russia, but why would that be? There is nothing to suggest Fyodor is the owner. Which brings us to my second question: Who owns the palace? I feel like the the manor being in the possession of Dostoevsky is out of the question, to me he doesn’t seem like a person, who is fond of typical for the medieval period buildings. Anyways, the fact, that Tatsuhiko is not part of any of the current organizations we are currently aware of, suggests he must have some sort of headquarters, leading to me assuming, that said castle belongs to him. Makes the most sense. I could also theorize that it belongs to Fitzgerald, but so far, he hasn’t even been mentioned in anything, related to the project, so, it’s honestly pointless to even bring him into this. Why haven’t we seen it in the series before? Well, I sort of answered my question in the beginning. I believe that not seeing it before is tied with it’s location, further supporting, that it is nowhere near Yokohama. I even considered it being an ability and that made sense, until I became aware that it is absurd, if we mind the fact about Dazai’s ability: any other power it touches gets nullified. At first the idea of the castle being an ability seemed very appealing to me, as it explained a lot, but it, sadly, just doesn’t make sense. What’s its purpose? As I mentioned above, I believe that it’s a base of sorts, for now I don’t know what else it could be, but its surreal proportions make me curious if it has another purpose as well. Why were Dazai, Fyodor and Shibusawa in it together? Now, this is the question that has been bugging me the most, especially considering we have Dazai there, too, who is in no way a villain anymore, his mafia days long abandoned behind his back. So, what is he doing with the two main antagonists? Well, I have three theories about that. First one is the most unlikely, but I will talk about it anyways. All in all, Dazai, upon disappearing “into mist” joined the enemies, because all of a sudden he decided he wanted to rid the world of ability users. Sounds pretty impossible for two reasons:

That would go against what Odasaku wanted and let’s be honest here - Oda is like a God to Dazai (Not really, our favorite bandage-wasting device just respects him greatly, but you catch my drift);

Nothing up to now has suggested, that Dazai has been wishing to do that.

But there is one reason, that our walking mummy might have joined: They offered him something, that is seen as impossible to be done, which might and might not be bringing back Odasaku to life, unlikely, but could also explain the cut of him we see and why Tatsuhiko collects abilities: to merge them into one God-like super power. Although I can’t really see that happening, so I’m moving onto my next theory: Osamu was forced to join against his will. I think this is very probable because I quote: “And Dazai, who has disappeared into the mist”, which could suggest an abduction. To support the theory, that there was at least a kidnapping attempt, there is the following line from the trailer: “Did you think you would be able to capture me?”, said by Osamu. Except kidnapping, it is also viable that they could have very much threatened the agency or something dear to him, leaving him no choice, but to join, in order to protect said thing. But most likely he got threatened, as I feel like if he was abducted he’d be chained up, similar to when the mafia held him captive. And my third and last theory when it comes to this question: Dazai is sent as a spy by the ADA, pretending to have betrayed them. This, too, isn’t very likely, considering Fyodor would most likely sniff up their plan before they could even start executing it.

Well, that concludes my first pack of questions, onto the next one. Why is everyone either hunting Dazai down or wanting him in their little “Doom” party? Why is Dazai still alive, is he that valuable to Shibusawa and in what way?

Why is everyone either hunting Dazai down or wanting him to join their organization? Okay, this has me, like, hella puzzled. We literally hear Dazai say “Did you think you would be able to capture me?”, later on Akutagawa gets a line as well: “Dazai-san …will be killed by me.”, which could also mean, that someone else is meaning to kill/capture him as well, this being further supported by Ango’s crew pointing their guns at Dazai. Why do they all want him dead so bad all of a sudden? Last we checked, no one really was THIS determined to get rid of him. So, I humbly assume, that this is because he WILLINGLY joined Shibu and is now seen as a traitor (wow, Dazai, making it a habit, aren’t you), which supports my earlier theory, seeming almost impossible, until I got this far into my so-called “analysis”. And if I am to accept, that said theory is what actually will happen, then what is that special, almost divine thing that made him join? Is it really a promise to bring back Odasaku?

Why is Dazai still alive, is he that valuable and how so? Now, I have made two main assumptions about that. First one, appearing to be more inviable: Osamu is seen as like-minded by Shibu and Dostoevsky and his ability - genuinely handy. But it just doesn’t seem to fit, Dazai never had the same ideology as them, as far as we know, neither is his ability that helpful or meaningful to them, if the work was getting done just fine without it. Then, that brings me to my second theory - the evil team is afraid of Dazai, that he can make their long scheming crumble and go to waste with just the touch of a finger, something, that is further supported by this quote: “If I touch this and make it disappear, everything will end.”. But even so, why don’t they just kill him? Good riddance and very easy, what is really stopping them? Well, I have to say, that is hard for me to comprehend and the only thing I can think of, without anything, that suggests it is like that, is that since Tatsuhiko collects abilities, if he were to kill Dazai and we are to assume, that no matter who killed the said ability user, Shibu still gets to absorb the power of the person perhaps via an item no matter if he wants it absorbed or not, Osamu’s ability would affect all the others in some, most likely negative, way, given that it can nullify. Well, time to finish this off with and absolutely preposterous theory, that the reason we see Odasaku and probably mafia Dazai along with Chuuya is because two parallel Universes are crossing paths, one being our regular BSD Universe and the other - one, in which Dazai never left the mafia. Just the wishful thinking of a fangirl... :D But anyway, this concludes my “analysis” of the one minute long trailer... :D
