Zeus 7997 Posted August 21, 2016 Just now, Original Saku said: that's pretty much it, I don't think there's any real reason why they are named after them, maybe because the creator like those authors? Jumping on this post but out of the ~5 episodes I watched of it there didn't seem to be a deeper meaning behind it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Original Saku 1593 Posted August 21, 2016 @plastic_rainbow@Zeus I did a little more digging on the character Dazai in particular and found that he is loosely based off his real life counter part, and their are lots of hints and similarities drawn in the show. Quote He, along with several other characters, made an appearance in the mobile game Love Heaven as a limited time character. His constant attempts to commit suicide with a beautiful woman could be an allusion to his real life counterpart's attempted double suicide with Shimeko Tanabe and Hatsuyo Oyama. His attempt with his lover Tomie Yamazaki was ultimately successful. It's also possible that his suicide attempts serve as a reference to No Longer Human's protagonist Ōba Yōzō's multiple suicide attempts throughout the story, which is considered to be a reflection of Osamu Dazai's turbulent life. He was the youngest boss in mafia history. In real life, he is often grouped together along with Sakaguchi Ango and Oda Sakunosuke as the Buraiha or Decadent School. And on the series, this is often alluded, because the three used to meet in a certain bar, as seen in Dazai and the Dark Era, and illustrated on the calendar. He is nicknamed as 'Bandage-wasting Device' by Kunikida at Chapter 2 / Episode 2. Dazai usually refer himself by gender neutral phrase "watashi" rather than the more masculine phrases like "boku" or "ore". Dazai's pretty bad at driving, as shown in the first light novel "Dazai's entrance exam". He is based after Osamu Dazai, a man who wrote No Longer Human. so it doesn't seem like it's just a pointless rip of the name but the author actually is very much inspired by these literary figures. here's the full wikia page on the character; http://bungostraydogs.wikia.com/wiki/Osamu_Dazai 2 plastic_rainbow and Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got some issues Trombe, I think you need some counselling To help your ass from spamming no-name bands when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to write together? That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other! I really think you and Yoshiki need each other Or maybe you just need to treat him better I hope you get to read this PM, I just hope it reaches you in time Before you delete your posts, I think that you'll be doin' just fine If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you, but Trombe Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a member I just don't want you to do some diva shit I seen this one post on the “intro/goodbye” forum a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude said he was leaving cuz the mods ignored him and his side account got banned And had a side-blog for his news where he would make his posts instead And in his computer they found a word doc, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think of it, his name was... it was you!

Chi 2624 Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) i dont know much about the personalities of bungou stray dogs' characters besides dazai's obsession with double suicide that is obviously related to No Longer Human but other than the names their special powers are also named something related to their books dunno a lot about the other authors Edited August 21, 2016 by seurong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plastic_rainbow 2162 Posted August 22, 2016 @Original Saku @seurong thanks for the info~ i looked briefly at the wikia page earlier too. since Osamu Dazai is one of my favorite japanese writers i couldn't help but laugh when i read that the fictional character's ability is named after one of his books (and my favorite book too). it just seemed very odd and ridiculous to me. i'd say the character's obsession with suicide reflects very well with a part of Osamu Dazai's life (and not just his book No Longer Human).
