He appears like an evil, looming force pulling him back under, trying to kill him, when Sigma is so close to the freedom of the air he desperately wants (aka free from pain, which is what he’s been seeking his whole life).īut then Dazai makes this face, and the first one I posted above, and Sigma understands, even without words, that Dazai doesn’t have evil intent: on the contrary, he actually is bound and determined to save his life – and the light in his eyes comes out through this determination and kindness, arguably the most light we’ve ever seen his eyes have in the entire manga (in the “I leave the rest to you” panel too). Dazai’s dark eyes here reinforce that, too, and the other panels around this point where they look white and hollow and demonic, all like Fyodor’s. He’s been confused ever since Dazai first chose him, and everything he’s ever known about how everyone sees/treats him turned upside down by Dazai’s words and actions, and just when he’s finally started to feel like he’s found some hope and lowered his guard, Dazai pulls him back underwater, instantly reinforcing all of Sigma’s trust issues and reinforcing that he should never believe in anyone, because (he thinks) everyone lives to manipulate other people. :’ ) the final words he gives to Sigma are the exact same words Oda gives to Dazai in the original scene Asagiri wrote for the end of the Dark Era stage play, 後は頼んだよ, “I will leave the rest to you.”Īnd I really love the progression of the way his eyes look in this chapter, and how Sigma is allowed to have this moment of questioning and rebelling against all the faith Dazai had naturally been leading him to place in him up to this point, which is what I hoped would happen. The sentiments that he couldn’t convey in these two scenes were finally delivered to Dazai in the last scene through the words “Become a good person.” Very meaningful scenes when read as a set.ĭazai truly has become Oda in every way imaginable now. However, it doesn’t mean that he has nothing he wants to say. Because he does not consider himself a superior person who can teach and guide others. Odasaku is the type of person who will never lecture anyone. Chests don’t open up like that, and no one is capable of such feats.” “Somebody probably should’ve tied him up, pried his chest open, and stuffed a vacuum cleaner inside… But in reality, such a vacuum didn’t exist. Odasaku’s thought towards Dazai, who was getting excited about Ango becoming his enemy.

“Had our ranks or relations been any different, I probably would’ve punched him right then.”Ģ.


Odasaku after Dazai madly begged the enemy soldier to shoot him. Since we are here, I will take this chance to introduce you two aspects of his inner side that have only been revealed in the original novel.ġ. Oda Sakunosuke is a character who has never appeared in the manga but gives out a strong presence in the movie, stage play and anime.
