I just wanna say that. there’s something incredibly morbid and gross about the fact that bones took away literally the only thing Sigma had to his name before the casino: his past. And not only his past itself, but his right to narrate his own past. Instead, the TWO lines they do keep about it (about him naming himself Sigma, and finally finding his one place to call home, the casino).... are given to Fyodor to say. Fyodor, his most recent manipulator in a long, long line of manipulators.

And not even just his past, but by extension so many of his strong, strong emotions about himself and what he’s been through and how they’ve made him into the person he is now: his fear, his sorrow, his desperation, his determination, his righteous indignation. His pain. The majority of that is all gone from the anime.

Sigma barely has a story of his own; his past, his suffering, and his emotions are the only things he has claim to, that make him who he is. And bones took even those away from him. Flattening him into an empty piece of paper, ironically, just like he was born from and as.

#bungou stray dogs #sigma #if you can't tell i'm mad lol #just like everyone else is #and will continue to be mad for a long long time #also in this same category: bones dehumanizing dazai by always cutting the moments where he shows true human emotion/vulnerability #because he always has to look ~cool~ and like an untouchable god #when that is literally antithesis to his entire character arc and dazai himself struggles to see himself as human #(only just now finally starting to accept that in chapter 105.5) #but i'm getting off-topic point is it's really gross and what they did to Sigma is in the same vein #the mangas and light novels are so kind and humane and empathetic........ and the anime is just nah what if we skipped all that lol #just focus on the cool flashy shit!!!!! ain't got time for all these ~feelings~ and deep complex philosophical concepts!!! #sometimes it feels like they get it (mushi's episodes and yosano's were a fluke istg) but most of the time they Don't #anyway i was writing that sigma fic anyway but it's especially fitting in light of how the anime treated him :)))) #he deserves to be Mad. Enraged even.
