Demon Snow <333 sometimes I remember how much I adore Kyōka

Fyodor doesn’t call Atsushi by his name. It’s “innocent beast”, “he who houses the bookmark”, “the tiger” or simply “you.” And as far as I can recall it’s always been like that.

Atsushi’s always been the tiger/the weretiger. The bounty on his head was for the tiger, it wasn’t for a boy or even an ability user.

And I think it all ties into how Fyodor doesn’t see Atsushi as human. He has no interest in him. The only thing that Fyodor cares about is the tiger.

Names are an important thing in this series. Often used to reaffirm someone’s humanity, for characters like Paul Verlaine, Chuuya Nakahara, Sigma etc a name is so much more than simply a name.

Atsushi knows Fyodor’s name but Fyodor never bothers to use his.

Because it means nothing to him. Because Atsushi’s humanity is a hindrance to him and his goals. We know that Fyodor doesn’t see people as allies but pawns to do with as he wishes.

And the way he treats Atsushi feels very much in line with how he treated Chuuya in Mersault Arc.

Fyodor only used Chuuya’s name once and it was as a show of power to Dazai. It was when he tells Chuuya to go and finish Dazai off.

Every other time Chuuya is simply the gravity manipulator. Fyodor doesn’t call the bond Dazai and Chuuya have shallow. He calls Dazai’s bond with the gravity manipulator shallow.

Meanwhile Dazai this whole escape arc only ever refers to Chuuya by name.

Both Atsushi and Chuuya have been dehumanised for their abilities. Both of them have been made to feel less than human. They are both the only people to be referred to by their ability capabilities.

And their both people Fyodor saw as nothing at pawns. So why would he ever bother using their names.

Loki really is the princess of the arc, isn't he?

"....I don't understand..."

"Why is that even though Sukuna-sama is near me, he does not get cold?"

".....Ku-Ha"

"I could say the same goes for you, Uraume"

"Why did you not get cold being by my side?"

this is so important actually. the image and voice of dazai, one of the smartest people atsushi knows, manifested by atsushi's mind telling him that he knows something dazai doesn't. he can do what dazai can't. he's smart enough to save everyone, despite his doubts about himself. and he knows it, even if he needs a voice that isn't his own to say it to him.
