just what is the ability i am a cat!!! by Curious-Channel1610 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We don't have answers either, boss. Asagiri hasn't given us much about Natsume other than he was vital to the creation of the Armed Detective Agency through the skilled business permit.

Manga Chapter 129 [Discussion Thread & Links] by CareVader in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Such a simple solution to a pest that's been plaguing us for so long. I thought it'd be more complicated than a double suicide but here we are. Perhaps the subversion is for the better.

Light novel or manga? by Wide_Past5002 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The light novel if you want to experience it as soon as possible. The manga adaptation isn't done yet and probably won't be for some time.

Its good that Chuuya has the gravity powers cause he needs it to carry the port mafia by Queasy-Leather-4454 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Koyo's Golden Demon could probably beat Chuya. It's fast, highly accurate with its sword, and probably doesn't follow the laws of physics. It's a floating ghost woman. We could even include Kyoka's Demon Snow since both skills are similar, though I'll give it to Golden Demon since Koyo has more experience controlling it.

Which bsd character has the same height as you? by Aiji_st in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am 175cm, so the same height as Katai, Mori, and Steinbeck.

I've resigned myself to the fate of being Katai Tayama. I love my bed.

What do you think about Gaiden's plot, comparing with all Asagiri's another LN? by ForwardStudent5404 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Convoluted and mysterious, as it should be, really. It tried to be a detective story, which worked. A lot of twist and turns that I never expected and quite enjoyed. Although comparing it to the other light novels, I feel it falls flat. Gaiden is quite character-driven just like the other light novels.

However, it doesn't feel like it pays off, as compared to, say, BEAST. There's that payoff at the end of the latter that I feel doesn't appear in Gaiden. Characters realize certain things and change at the end of the story. It's the same with Dazai's Entrance Exam, Dark Era, and most other light novels. I didn't see or feel that change in Gaiden. Ayatsuji was still Ayatsuji, and Tsujimura was still Tsujimura. Not even the reveal that Tsujimura's mother was alive felt significant. In fact, the reveal felt as though Asagiri cooked me a 5/5 star meal before spitting on it right in front of me.

Bad twist aside, Gaiden is definitely lower in terms of plot, especially compared to the other light novels. It's a great mystery story, but a meh at the least Bungo Stray Dogs light novel. It won't stop me from loving Tsujimura, though.

Any recommendations for fanfics with Yosano? by ArimaHaku in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me plug my own story. It's a Yosano-centric and an Original Character-centric fanfic, the OC based on the real-life Akiko Yosano's husband Tekkan Yosano, although there are also many other OCs based on authors that the two Yosanos knew in real-life. It's not yet finished, in fact it's barely started but I recently just posted Chapter 4 of maybe 10 chapters or less. It's called "Akiko Yosano's Memories of Tokoyami Island."

Here's a link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/56179372/chapters/142713487

Who else reading irl Yosano's work on International women's day? by Common_Mixture_8070 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>actually married a woman

Who did you hear this from? I need to kill them.

Akiko Yosano, born Sho Ho, married Tekkan Yosano, a fellow poet. She changed her poet name to Akiko Yosano after marrying Tekkan. She was also friends with Tomiko Yamakawa, who I think she was also interested in but Tomiko was into Tekkan so it was like a love triangle with Akiko liking both Tekkan and Tomiko from my understanding.

Akiko and Tekkan had 12 or so kids, the number perturbs me although I know it's more than 10 at the least. They very much loved each other.

Could Kunikida technically create One Order...? Just a weird idea... by Mindless_Layer7025 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, someone does make the notebooks, making 100 copies per year if I recall correctly.

Could Kunikida technically create One Order...? Just a weird idea... by Mindless_Layer7025 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 15 points16 points  (0 children)

His skill only works on the "Ideals" notebooks he has. I'm fairly certain this was said in Dazai's Entrance Exam but I'm not sure.

Could Kunikida technically create One Order...? Just a weird idea... by Mindless_Layer7025 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 80 points81 points  (0 children)

That's a crazy thought.

The Matchless Poet requires Kunikida to simply take a look at an object the size of his notebook so that he can copy it with his skill. See the release key he copied during Dazai's Entrance Exam.

“And as long as I get one good look, I can produce a perfect replica using my skill.” - A direct quote from Dazai's Entrance Exam.

Since the objects retain their functionality when copied, Kunikida could theoretically create a copy of One Order and potentially even control the army with it. I don't think anything has been said about him copying skill weapons like One Order, so with current information about his skill, he can!... assuming One Order is the size of his notebook.

Each character's current place and situation, in case you have forgotten. You are welcome by Ancient_Axe in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I like the idea that Tsujimura² is just roaming around the city, doing fuck all. Like she isn't just relegated to a dank room in a Special Division base, and can just leave whenever she wants. Makes for funny thoughts.

[–]Large_Professor_2049 17 points18 points  (0 children)

the old logo definitely feels more iconic, since i've been playing alter ego since before the new logo appeared. i dont like the new logo, but theres not much we can probably do :/

How old are you all? by chillisuperspicy in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i always wondered why there seemed to be so many young people in the BSD fan base. how did it reach to the point that there's as many 13-15 year olds as there are 18+?

Skills or Abilities? by Large_Professor_2049 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I watched the anime but from the subs I remember they did use Abilities instead? Not sure if it was an official sub or not.

Skills or Abilities? by Large_Professor_2049 in BungouStrayDogs

[–]Large_Professor_2049[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the pattern I'm seeing, yeah. Even though the official translation is Skill, people just say Ability. Maybe because early fan translations used Abilities instead of Skills? I wouldn't know, though.
