Bungou Stray Dogs is over, accept it 🫵
I don't know about you, but I've been following the BSD manga since 2020 and I've lost my mind several times. But recently I decided to rewatch some episodes from the first two seasons and, come to think of it, I miss the "friendly atmosphere"
Everything was more believable and simple, it was a private agency solving mysteries and complex criminal cases involving people with powers, such a simple formula...
In fact, this is what made me clap for chapter 54 of the manga onwards (post third season)
It was a proposal that had never come close to being attempted in history, turning the good guys into villains in the eyes of the entire planet and not presenting a simple solution for that.
And honestly I couldn't care less about the port mafia or characters around that are only good for ships and headcanons, the story was really involving me
From chapter 92 onwards this collapsed.
I don't know about you, but I think it started to get much more complicated from then on. Firstly, completely meaningless events occur just to sound "tragic" (for example, when saigiku jouno hit his own captain with a sword and called him into a fight as if he could win, and if he was a bloodhound, it's obvious that he knew what HIS BOSS' capabilities were. It would have been much smarter for him to go according to plan and support the agency away from Fukuchi's presence, when one of them tried to steal Bram's coffin for example, and why that didn't happen. ? Road map :)
A crumpled piece of paper has more charisma and a more commendable motivation than Fukuchi, all he has is strength, and being one of the most important villains in the work, this is quite disappointing.
I also find the vampires part... comical. Sorry, I can't take this seriously.
There is also this dialogue from chapter 112, which I spent a long time looking for and even separated the image in the post, which is certainly the most despicable image that this manga has provided.
Do I need to explain why? it is not obvious? atsushi saw his co-workers arrested and publicly defamed, he was almost killed by this "benevolent man who thought of the greater good" and he saw his rival killed and later used as a tool by this same man, TO THEN SAY THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE INTENT TO HURT ANYONE?????
And if there is any Fukuchi stan reading this (there isn't) I don't hate this character because he is the evil villain, but because he spared no effort to annihilate the armed detective agency and make them enemies of the entire world, just for the end his motivation being "I wanted to save the world by destroying it (a great strategist, I admit) and aaaaah my childhood friend uuuh generic drama"
Atsushi must like being beaten as much as a criminal's wife, nothing else explains this image, and yes, I'm complaining, I don't wait a whole month to read ONE chapter to see the main villain who caused the most problems and killed people being considered a poor victim.
And finally, I'm going to avoid giving a technical opinion about the manga, since I'm not nearly good enough for that.
Shall we talk about something more fun?
Fyodoruu-san playing Yu-Gi-Oh with his invincible god in hand and releasing giant blades that destroy buildings across the sky.
This is what Bungou has become, I can't bear to write any more, that's enough, see you later, have a good night, take care of yourself and be good to the people you love, random person who will read this, you deserve to be happy. 👋
