Chuuya: Okay, we have to find a way out of here.
Akutagawa: Burn down the building.
Dazai: I have an idea, but weβre going to need a tugboat.
Chuuya: Tugboats and arson, thatβs all I ever get from you guys.
hi king! its been a while :3
I havent gathered my thoughts on this topic so im curious to hear your opinion. do you think the port mafia has been romanticized in recent bsd chapters? what with tachihara's arc etc.
no pressure ask btw!
ty king :)
yoooo! it's always so good to see you in my notifs omg!!!
uhhh as for "romanticised", tbh i never understand what that term really means somehow. like, in canon it's seen as less dangerous and threatening now? yes i guess, it has definitely gone down the "first enemy of the protags that later ends up becoming a team in the face of greater evil" path, but that was obviously always the intent of the port mafia's arc. the very point of keeping mori at the head of the port mafia is that he loves yokohama in all its twisted glory, and just like the ADA and the Special Abilities Division, has a vested interest in keeping Yokohama safe from outsiders that infiltrate it for the Book.
talking about tachihara's arc (that is, how being in the port mafia is shown as a good thing), i think...hm. when thinking about tachihara specifically, his alternative is the hunting dogs, which to me reads as the frontline of authoritative fascism in BSD (flay me alive for this take but! fukuchi, their leader, falls for fyodor's fearmongering tactics and ends up killing thousands to keep "theirs" safe. classic.). as compared to that, you can't really say that the port mafia is worse in any aspect.
in BSD, i think all the organisations except the armed detective agency (which is the only agency to stick to their code of conduct even at great detriment to themselves, and end up disbanded because they do so), are involved in some sort of ill practices. the port mafia is actually portrayed as better than the governmental agencies who do all sorts of human rights violations (mushitaro and the seventh agency?!) "lawfully", and i can't say i disagree with that sentiment. in fact, i would say i find the hunting dogs far more unsavory than the port mafia.
i do have another frame of thought regarding this though, and that is when remaining in the port mafia is somehow not seen as a reflection of some characters just because the fandom likes them (coughchuuyacough). like certain characters are going to be seen as morally bankrupt (coughdazaicough) no matter how much they change their actions, showing that most people tend to base their idea of what is "good" and "bad" based on whose mentality they find more typical to society and hence more palatable rather than what they choose to do in their life.
i think trying to question BSD for showing someone as "good" when you (general) think of them as "bad" is a task destined for failure. the beauty of BSD is that it's made of people who are shaped by circumstance. akutagawa, who is loyal to the port mafia in mainline, detests it in BEAST. similarly for atsushi. just think about the kind of characters who are/were in the port mafia: kouyou was held captive there but she came to care for the organisation that mori shaped. dazai came there as a lost child who couldn't see anything worth living for in the world and hoped that he would discover something worth holding on to while witnessing humans at their rawest, and he left the second he realised there really was nothing he could discover externally that would fix the kind of impression of humanity he had in his mind. akutagawa was a child in horribly abused in the slums to the extent he lost the capability to show emotions or have any hope of a decent life, and he was brought into the mafia with the hope of being given a reason to live. mori wanted to save Yokohama from the erratic orders of the previous boss and. kyouka was essentially trafficked into the mafia and used as a killing weapon. i think this isn't a case of romanticisation but just showing the ground realities of the people who are involved. all of this is not even considering that the port mafia was the kindest option any Ability user had before the ADA because by god you can't trust the government (look at chuuya's case, or the hunting dogs).
tldr: BSD never tries to prove any character as morally superior OR irredeemable, so i think there's no point in thinking about whether the manga should condemn the port mafia or not. also, imho the humanisation of the port mafia isn't a case of romanticisation either.
Can i just say Adachi absolutely nailed the only time we see Ranpo's inner thoughts that he didn't voice out in untold origins
The city is so much better. Ranpo was absorbed in thought. Boisterous and puzzling still beat out quiet and dismal in his book. He hated the countryside. He hated the people, the school, and essentially everything else there. The only thing he liked was his parents. - Untold Origins Light Novel

Today in Japan:
Banquet of the Stray Dogs
We attended the 10th Anniversary Banquet of the Stray Dogs story reading, a new story by Asagiri!
The event took place at the Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall, in Minatomirai, right next to the water. The merch sales, open to those even without event tickets, started at 10am, and already at 9, there were at least a couple hundred people in line!
We didn't arrive at the sales table until 11!! π
In addition to the new release merch, they had exhibits of VA and artist signatures, the entire host of books (here's your checklist π€£) the new Harukawa merch (that booklet is today's script), and a new, penguin suit lottery (gambling) line that just dropped.
Breaking for lunch at the plethora of food trucks along the boardwalk, we went for the best of all Japan's festival cuisine...kebab sandwich!
1pm was when the hall opened for ticket holders to enter the event venue - luckily there's a separate entrance for them - because the merch line was even longer! If you'd arrived at 1 thinking you'd get merch before showtime at 2.... that line would take you at *least* an hour to get through! Whenever a merch sale opens, arrive at least an hour early so you don't hate life!
In any case, we arrived in plenty of time, merch already in hand, for the show.
The stage is set, the side of a worn, brick building, gas lamps shining dimly and warm outside. It might even be the ADA headquarters, but there are no distinct markings.
Spoilers below~π
