Chapter 83. Akutagawa about to be hit in the side, near death situation and thinking of Dazai if he had abandonned him or not.
... Chapter 123. Akutagawa being stabbed in the side and having the clarity of mind that Dazai is not what is most important, and seeing more than the enemy in front of him, and more than the disappointment or anything of Dazai.
He remembers the promise, he remembers the words about true strength. And not Dazai, but the important things he has learned along the way on his journey through life that he would not of realised before if he had not had those encounters with the Man-Tiger.
He remembers, not just would he never forget that night Dazai found him...but he did not forget the impact and changes of his life this 'weak' (but got recognised and had 'everything' at least in one of Akutagawa's views before) has had on him, how it changes who he is now compared to before.
I will have a lot more to say on the newer chapter.
