Post (movie) canon Beast Chuuatsu
Everyone in the Port Mafia learns to fear the new Boss.
Chuuya snaps at the slightest of things and where he once treasured his subordinates. He now looks at them now as nothing but tools.
Just another piece on the board for his revenge.
Some whisper that the old boss never left. That Dazai simply took on a new form and rotted the new Boss from the inside out. For where Dazai was ruthless Chuuya is cold and cruel.
The Port Mafia would’ve crumbled the moment he took the throne. The only reason the organisation stays afloat is because Chuuya’s not alone.
Atsushi is a permanent fixture by his side.
He takes on so many responsibilities along with being the main line of security. He overseers each and every sector of the Port Mafia and is the one people then to with issues.
Atsushi’s blood is Mafia through and through but there’s a light in him that shines amongst the darkness. A kindness that makes itself known in private and while his smile is a rare sight.
It is always genuine.
What’s most incredible about him though is that Atsushi is the only one who can calm down the Boss. His hand finds his when Chuuya’s angered, gently running a thumb over his knuckles.
When the Boss is one of his rages, when he’s at the brink of it all and no one dares get near him. There is Atsushi at the door, his smile is worn and his eyes tired.
And he crosses the room and holds the mad man in his arms. Begging for his partner to return, he holds him through the storm and then sends for food and water.
Sometimes you hear Chuuya, quiet and horrified as he begs for his forgiveness. That it won’t happen again, that he’s sorry and he loves him.
But those days become further and further apart.
No one in the Port Mafia dares to bad mouth Atsushi, not that anyone ever could. They hear him cry in the dead of night and feel their hearts break for him.
The White Reaper walks the halls like a ghost waiting for the day death finally reaches him. He will never leave for he’s chained himself to this place.
And the mad king who rules it.
GUYS
Y’all honestly need to give more love to atsushi bc he’s underrated in his OWN SHOW.
“But he’s a boring mc-“ Nuh Uh
He’s literally connected to the book somehow, his ability can literally rip other abilities to shreds,
Plus the theories on how he ended up in the orphanage and how much else he doesn’t even know happened to him bc he somehow forgot LITERALLY GETTING TORTURED BY SHIBUSAWA.
(My hc is that the headmaster definitely forced atsushi to be a cannibal-)
Like, his character is genuinely so interesting, and he’s one of the most mysterious characters in the show.
Same w Byakko. Like, an entirely sentient ability? Hello?
Plus all the shit w the headmaster?
And yet people say he’s boring… 😐
idk why people photoshopped the crying cat meme on this pic when the unedited version is so powerful
Dazai, texting: guys i found a lost cat can someone run to the store and get some food for it
Kunikida: I’m running behind schedule, so unfortunately no
Kenji: :o what kind of cat is it?
Yosano: Can you show us the cat?
Dazai: [image sent]
Yosano: oh
Ranpo: dazai that's a fucking tiger
Consider, Atsushi being transferred to the Port Mafia because there’s no one else around to go.
BDUBS THE THING (1982) DUB LIVE IN THE YOUTUBE COMMENTS
wondering if the reason chuuya didn't get a pupil after getting promoted to executive (like dazai did with akutagawa) was so the person wouldn't die like everyone else that gets involved with him :3c
anyway!! atsushi transferred to the PM and trained by chuuya arc when
chuu: so there's a beast inside me and- sushi: yea, happens to me every week
Did I ever tell you about my head cannon that byako is a female tiger because the animators never animated the shef that irl male Tigers have.
So if Atsushi takes on byakos attributes during his partial transformation dose that mean he has a vagina in is weretiger form?
OK, so that's interesting. As far as I'm aware, Byakko doesn’t have a confirmed gender (I've seen people stating that Byakko is female in canon, but I couldn’t find any sources supporting that in canon at all; some people just treat it as such). I’ve also seen people say Atsushi refers to Byakko as male, but I didn’t find proof of that either. So, either the animators and the mangaka overlooked that detail, or they did so on purpose, either to keep the gender ambiguous or to hint that Byakko is actually a female tiger. Either way, your interpretation is totally valid.
If we go with the idea that Byakko is female, then it raises the question of how far Atsushi’s transformation actually goes. Does he take on all of Byakko’s physical attributes—not just the claws, fur, and fangs? If so, it’s possible his anatomy could shift to match hers. But since he’s never shown to fully transform (always keeping some human traits, except in episode 1), it’s hard to say if the transformation would extend that far.
So, I guess the real question is whether Atsushi just turns into any tiger or if he actually pulls from Byakko’s “DNA” and straight-up takes on Byakko’s body. But assuming that is the case... ENBY ATSUSHI!?
I like to imagine Joel tripped a little when he got shot so he could fit the theme of all of the Bread Boys Falling
