#quick analysis

Looking back at the previous theory there was something i had completely missed and therefore i decided to make a somewhat follow up

And that is this time to focus on the symbols in his collar the alpha and omega that alligns with the story of jesus and god

What is the alpha and omega?

Well they are greek alphabets of the beginning and end that would eventually be associated with the book of revelation as a Christian symbol

These symbols are often combined with the cross as seen here for example

Exactly like how Michaels choker is presented with them.

The meaning is basically jesus christ is the beginning and end to see all. Connecting himself with the divine self of god. That he is everywhere, always existed and always will and once the second coming happens it will be the beginning of end but as god incaenate he is everlasting

And this old testament we see here is exactly how Michael talks in his chats

He talks exactly like the omega and alpha incarnate (no pun intended) he talks exactly like how jesus christ would speak about it in the book of revelation. As if Michael shares similarities and attributes to him.

But we already know who god incarnate is and that was minyhook infact Michael knew right off the bat

Michael sure as hell may be delulu but one thing is for certain he wasnt ever wrong about god bieng completely gone sometimes the one with madness holds the truth

Hes right, god wasnt somone who disappeared so easily, Michael knows just as jesus christ knew god is always there watching no matter what. And both believe he would come in the second coming which i believe we are in now that minyook is revealed to be the vessel of god so something bigs about to happen very soon and especially since Michael might be a huge focus next chapter.

Or you know what else? Possibly mary considering his apperance is very feminine and beautiful and kinda matches with how Mary has dark hair as him. Mary watched as her son got crucified that she mourned in tears forever in sorrow of losing her loved one just as much as Michael cried his entire life and witnessed the fall of his brother in tears forever haunting him. Him keeping that cross is like a symbol of mary holding onto something that she has left of jesus and Michaels halo happens to also represent how Mary's halo has stars all over, another similarity i couldn't help but notice

As you can see Michaels character alligns with the story of Jesus christ alot as seen with the chats and quotes from the revelation that connects with his personality and on the recent story. Hes a reference of all that Christ went through and as stated in my last theory post possibly even connected to him in some form of way.

Quick theory of Michael and the virgin mary similarities

But i could be looking to far into it about that so again dont take my theory seriously or at face value i just really wanted to make a follow up from my post because i think looking into Michael is interesting and i love his character 🩵

Dazai and Fyodor share characteristic similarities and respective roles within their organizations, they have a certain form of control over everything that happens.

I just wanted to point out all the visually symmetrical shots the anime uses with these two.

Something that strikes me though is the way they keep this control. Fyodor holds control tightly, directing each and every action of those that serve him. His lackeys rely on him to make decisions too the point even he complains about his subordinates lack of initiative. On the other hand, Dazai holds the reins of control loosely, extremely so when compared to his Russian counterpart. He directs with near suggestion. He, dare I say, trusts that his chosen individuals to do what he predicts. Which I think there in lies the key difference between Dazai and Fyodor's forms of control. Fyodor moves his 'pieces' while Dazai predicts his 'players' movements. Dazai has the mind of a in the field battle strategist (quite literally what he was raised and trained to do), he can predict who needs to be when and where for the right outcome. Fyodor is more akin to a particularly intelligent war leader. A strategic genius yes, but one that relies on his people to follow his orders directly. Furthermore, he's offensive, while Dazai is defensive. Acts so his opponent must react.

A nod at the different ways Fyodor and Dazai see other people. Fyodor seeing a tool and Dazai never forcing his hand.

They're both geniuses. No matter how one looks at it, they are both in possesion of severe intelligence. Interesting enough, it seems to affect them differently though. Simply put, while his genius gives Fyodor a god complex that makes him feel above other people, that same sort of genius makes Dazai feel separated from other people. Dazai is fully aware that he is just a person, a smart one, but just a person like everyone else. Maybe inhuman, maybe empty, maybe unable to ever feel whole, but no more a person than everyone else. Fyodor sees himself as basically just below god and above everyone else, thats he's superhuman and has special rights because of this.

Fyodor and Dazai move the pieces of their game uniquely. Fyodor in such a way its clear he holds no care for other people, views them (as I said above) as less than him due to their lack of (in his eyes) intelligence. In contrast to this, Dazai actually seems to care (granted in a backwards way) about his 'pawns'. Dazai values people. Maybe not all people, but he does value them. He listens to them, respects their insight and knowledge. Even admires them for their world views, despite not understanding them.

Interesting contrast exhibited here. Understandably, it's through the eyes of Atsushi (unreliable source for this analysis) but still interesting how of them are depicted.

I've heard before that Fyodor is Dazai without the restraint, and while this feels true, I'd argue it's not quite right. It boils down to motive. Fyodor's self professed motive is getting rid of abilities, Dazai's is fulfilling a dying friend's wish to do good.

Fyodor is Dazai loaded with a complex and harmful intent, dazai without the lack of ambition and numbness. Both of them two different sides of amoral, but Dazai is a vessel of circumstance while Fyodor is a creator and manipulator of circumstance.
