Bungou Stray Dogs latest episode 28 aka season 3 ep3 had us looking into the past of Dazia and Chuuya. Now this will be a recap of my biggest take away so if you haven’t seen it yet I suggest you do as there will be spoilers.
We get something we weren’t expecting when Chuuya explains that he is Arahabaki. But it is more complicated than that as he seems t be a artificial gifted. His true power is what causes the crater that become the slum shown through out the first episode of the new season.
Now we have seen Chuuya out of control through his corruption state. But the way the anime shows it and it described is completely different. This Arahabaki isn’t just gravity base but pure energy. Also he is completely covered in darkness. Which means it would be more fitting to compare him to a tail beat from Naruto jinchuriki who would be coated in that beast chakra and with some lose control. Chuuya is the same way but where as he seems to be able to point in the right direction with corruption this one jus lashed out.
Now granted that is if the descriptions are accurate. The series is a mystery series to a degree and loves to mess with the viewer point of view. We saw with Dead Appeal as Atsushi recalling of events never seemed right until we learned the truth. This can be the same way with us not know what Chuuya looks like at full power. And it would probably be something no one has seen either since when he joined the port mafia Dazia was always there to keep him in check and he as we learned with these flash backs kept him thinking somewhat like a normal person.
But what to take away from this. The last flash back in season 2 we got to see new characters and the silver licensee which allows gifted to work in Yokohama. This time the flash back hints at what the devil Dazia mentioned in second season end is looking for. Or at least another as we know he is also looking for the book. Not only that but we might find the take away is that some gifted are man made. A lot to take in and we only have seen 3 episodes. looks like another crazy season.
As always thank you for reading.
