Normalize blaming Dazai for being a dick about everything.
Akutagawa brought Kyouka in to keep her off the streets, meanwhile Dazai brought Akutagawa in with ulterior motives and to use him for his own agenda. Akutagawa did not train Kyouka, but Dazai trained Akutagawa. Kyouka had maybe 2 months at most with Akutagawa as her handler (Akutagawa gave her orders on who to kill) meanwhile Akutagawa answered to Dazai directly for 2 years. Akutagawa was happy for Kyouka when she left the Mafia, Dazai continues to use his influence over Akutagawa, continues to manipulate him, continues to hurt him.
They are absolutely not the fucking same.
It seems his newfound morality extends to everyone but the kid he screwed up for absolutely no reason, despite that relationship possibly having been the easiest to fix (back then and even now) yet he can't be bothered.
Wish that meant Mori beat him with a stick, but nooo. Mori probably only was trying to make him into the next boss. And then, Oda was there taking care of him. He even had friends like Ango and even Chuuya. All the Mafia members respected him despite him being a child (like Hirotsu).
What the frickity frack tickity tack are you yapping about as if Dazai gives a fuck even now 😭 keep that man away from my son, he already got him killed once. So much for his fucking character development.
