Concept: Atsushi’s first transformation in the series is quite violent and that doesn’t change going forward.
Maybe it’s because of what Shibusawa did to him. Maybe it’s because he hasn’t accepted the tiger.
Whatever the case even with All Men are Equals in effect pain is the basis for Atsushi to transform.
A fact that doesn’t surprise him much.
Akutagawa looking down on Atsushi as this weakling and watching him writhe in agony. Because losing his leg was nowhere near as painful as gaining it back.
It even makes Akutagawa look away at the horrid sight. And while he’ll dismiss it here as time goes on he’ll think back on it.
How strong Atsushi must be to bare such a burden. How he’s seen people tortured fold quicker and yet Atsushi just picks himself up and keeps going.
Perhaps in sharing his ability Akutagawa hopes deep down that just for a little while that burden can be shared.
Kouyou watching in morbid fascination as this boy breaks himself apart just to save her Kyouka. All while Kyouka sees the lengths Atsushi will go for her, to save her.
Lucy’s cries that Atsushi’s more special die on her tongue seeing the agony that such a gift grants. How she would never want wish such a thing on anyone.
And the protectiveness she denies having when he goes off to fight once again.
The Agency as a whole try to use Atsushi’s ability as a last resort. No one likes seeing him in pain no matter how temporary it may be.
And no many times Atsushi reassures them it’s fine. Because really pain makes Atsushi who he is and he doesn’t get how to explain that.
If it means saving everyone he cares about and the city they hold dear then well it’s worth it.
A random and silly hc
Atsushi having tiger mom instincts, Atsushi going in tiger form and licking Kyouka’s hair like a tiger mom would groom her cub’s hair
Tiger Atsushi has my whole heart.
Kyouka just smiles and hugs him after.
Atsushi fishes Dazai out of a river. Holds him up by the scruff of his neck with the most disapproving look.
He drops random animals he’s hunted at Kenji’s feet after cases. Because he needs to eat something and Kenji is so touched by it he cooks the meat and shares it with Atsushi.
Giant white tiger drags Kunikida out of the office because nope you will not be overworking yourself. You are going to sleep mister. And no one jumps into help Kunikuda because they agree.
And because it’s hilarious.
the idea of atsushi just casually jumping like 7 ft up to get something off a real tall shelf is very good and canon to me. people ask him to get things down for them to watch him do the cat crouch before he springs up.
Is this a guy ish looking girl or girlish looking guy? Meeting him for the first time everyone waits for someone to use a gendered term to refer to him instead of daring to guess
He simultaneously looks 15, 18, and 20 at the same time. Has been repeatedly served alcohol on accident multiple times but has also been mistaken for a kid in his first year of high school and has to flash his id like 3 times a day.
All members of the agency know that he’s been through a lot but no one really has the specifics. He’ll only drop tidbits of info when it’s relevant and won’t open up unless prompted to.
His ability is one of the most enigmatic things about him. Any questions he answers just leave’s everyone with more questions, so the agency has resorted to just being grateful that he’s on their side. Even people like Francis, Mori, Dazai, and Fyodor don’t quite understand everything.
