I know that Bungou Stray Dogs WAN! is a series of shorts that’s supposed to be just fun… or nice… or cute (and it is)
Dazai: “If I had to go, I’d like to go out just as beautifully.”
But this scene (from episode 10) made me cry.
Dazai might have said that out of his suicidal nature, or as a joke, or to be poetic but with his expression; he seemed happy and sad in that moment. I know he is happy to be with his friends, the Armed Detective Agency…
But maybe there’s still a part of him that wished he could be with Oda, to share that summer evening with him, watch the fireworks with everyone.
If Oda was still alive, they’d be partners and be on the good side. Saving lives and helping people. And be happy.
Maybe he remembered how Odasaku had to go...As the sun sets in the last moments of Oda’s life, he helped Dazai choose a different path and be on the good side.

Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! Anime
- Here are the congratulatory messages from Kanaineco, Asagiri, and Harukawa-sensei:
Additional tweet from Asagiri-sensei:
Wan! will get animated!
For me who has the perk of being able to read Wan! first before anyone (I check the manga storyboard everytime), I’m just as happy now as when my original manga got animated.
That’s because I’ll get to enjoy the fun of checking anime scripts and storyboards!
Congratulations, Kanai-sensei!
Congratulations BSD fandom!
It’s not very common for spin-offs to get anime adaptations, so we are really blessed! There are so many good things in Wan! and we’ll actually get to watch our BSD characters getting the happiness they deserve!
