BSD theories!

This month’s chapter was very interesting and amazing for me. Atsushi listened to Akutagawa’s words and decided to try to follow them, and then those I’d been waiting for, say, five or six chapters later, showed up: our supposedly dead returned ahead of schedule, and with the help of Lucy and Kyoka. I’m actually surprised they got out much earlier than expected, the same goes for Lucy and Kyoka. I hope they explain how they got out of Ann’s room? After all, they were isolated from the outside world… although perhaps the Snow Demon helped them, or maybe not… So, now that half of our favorite characters are here, Akutagawa and Atsushi can calmly, without thinking too much, try to stop Dostoevsky before Dazai shows up. Although, will he even show up in time? The question is, will he even show up in time? Recently, my interest in the manga began to slowly wane due to Fyodor’s constant nonsense, and I even felt a certain disappointment that no one could stop him and the manga was spiraling downward. When a fan experiences that, it’s a completely wrong and terrible feeling, so don’t judge me too harshly. But thanks to the most unexpected ending of the chapter, my fading interest was reignited. You know how surprised I was to see Moby Dick in the sky, and then Herman standing in the shadows next to Francis. Once, in a response to a reader’s comment on this work, I shared my opinion that Dazai was collaborating with Francis through Ango, but it never occurred to me that it could be the other way around, that Ango himself might be collaborating with Francis! As we know, after the guild arc, Herman voluntarily went with Ango, told him about the guild and so on, and then was probably arrested. So, Francis’s plan was precisely to have Ango help him free Herman to help the agency and the city, if he wasn’t free to begin with, and somehow Francis convinced Herman to return… I’m waiting for your theories. I’d also like to point out that Rampo was near those who disappeared. Could this mean he was also among those who disappeared? No, that’s highly doubtful. Most likely, he was either in Poe’s book or under that rubble, and someone helped him escape. Plus, the question of whether Teruko has returned is still open. I hope she decided to return, at least for the sake of Jono and Tetcho and her duty as the new leader of the Bloodhounds. We’ll see.
