Not sure if it has ever been mentioned in the game but in BSD Gakuen au, Dazai once tried to commit suicide by jumping from the roof top of his school building but failed and only managed to leave a huge human-shaped hole on the school ground 🕳

Vanitas purposely put 3 fèves in the Galette des rois (King cake) so whichever slice Misha chose he would get one 🥺

Q: Can you introduce yourself?
Chuuya: Huh, isn’t it proper manner to introduce yourself first before asking for someone’s name? Come on, say your name.
… Nah whatever. Knowing your name doesn’t do me any good anyway.
My name? How persistent!
Chuuya! Nakahara Chuuya! (cont) twitter.com/bungosd_anime/…

Q: What are you into these days?
Verlaine: My brother is lighter than I thought it makes me worried as a brother, so I have been making him the “bento” that Gin taught me. Gin said that her brother also got a weak body so she often makes things that are good for him. → twitter.com/bungosd_anime/…

“Kenji…
To be able to know that name…
Is today’s biggest catch…”

There is a part in the cast interview in the BEAST movie pamphlet where Taniguchi (Oda’s actor) describes Dazai and Oda’s friendship as between one who wants to “create the story” and one who wants to “end the story” and I find that take pretty interesting.
59
So it seems that when they were still considering which part of bsd to be made into a movie, Asagiri made two suggestions. One is BEAST, and the other is Dark Era.
60
I never knew there are Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts goods in anime style 👀
61
Honestly I prefer things that make senses but if Asagiri ever decides to bring Oda back to life I don’t need those senses anymore.
62
A novel, a manga and a live action are not enough. I need to see Beast!Dazai jump off the building in anime style too 🥲
63
Dazai thinking Sigma is honest and somewhat like Atsushi 🤣
64
fuck Dazai literally single-handedly brought down the whole prison troop…

…
He goes like goodbye Chuuya. What a pity things turned out like this. Its been 7 years since we first met and we had been fighting all the time but when I think about it, there were times when we were connected at heart too, for example…
67
And then the next fucking page he goes like, “My bad, actually there was none. So yeah, goodbye.”
68
Its weird but I am so in love with the fact that Dazai is just consistently messed up in his head.

Btw I don’t think Chuuya will die. Dazai may or may not have a plan to save Chuuya, but he still won’t die.
71
I dont want to sleep because tomorrow is Monday so let me drop some fun facts from Harukawa-sensei notes on the slip covers of the manga.
72
Sometimes I wonder if Dazai ever hears Oda’s voice in his head like how Atsushi hears him, then I realize that it makes more sense for Dazai to hear nothing at all, as the dead is never coming back, and he will never know if Oda will be proud of him or not.
73
Bsd has like 8 light novels published so far yet Asagiri has managed to have Dazai die twice, stabbed and poisoned once, shot once, time bombed once, robbed of his best friend once (twice, actually, if u count Beast in) and I haven’t even mentioned the day I picked up Dazai yet.
74
“People who only think about dying are those who are too serious about living.”
Happy Birthday, Dazai.

Do u know what Oda said to Dazai when he was patting his head in the last scene of Dark Era stage play, which was not shown in the DVD? He said: “Thank you. I’ll leave the rest to you.” It was confirmed by Taniguchi, Oda’s actor in the last curtain call.
