See everyone likes to say that Atsushi pointing a gun at Akutagawa in Dead Apple and saying “this isn’t how we do things in the Detective Agency” is hypocritical but I would disagree.
That gun is the only weapon that Atsushi has right now and it is clearly meant to serve as more of a warning than a direct threat. The thing about these two is that they have only ever communicated through violence and right now Atsushi needs Akutagawa to listen to him.
Not to mention Atsushi’s pointing a gun at Akutagawa because Akutagawa just threatened to kill Dazai. He said oh Dazai’s with the enemy? If he crosses my path I will kill him.
Shockingly Atsushi is completely against that idea and the faith that he has that Dazai hasn’t betrayed them all is completely in line with how the Agency operates.
They all know Dazai’s missing and trust he’s got in handled and has a plan that’ll help. It doesn’t matter that they don’t know that plan or they’re split apart. One of the strengths of the Agency is that they can fight the same battle on different fronts.
And that’s happening now.
They don’t know what Dazai’s up to but they trust he’s doing his best to protect this city in the way he knows how.
Not to mention that because of that one case by the river in S1 Atsushi knows what the Port Mafia does to traitors. He knows what Akutagawa might do to Dazai so he’s telling him hey this isn’t the Port Mafia this isn’t how we do things in the Agency leave him to his fight while we focus on ours.
Atsushi’s not a hypocrite he’s doing what anyone in the Agency would’ve done in that moment.
