  • Manga Spoilers are in this video!!!! So if you don't want to be spoiled please do not watch this video. Sorry for the long wait between videos, I really struggled editing this audio because I had old audio recorded all the way back from December 2020 that sounded terrible which I had to re-record. In fact, this idea has been stewing in my mind since I started this channel, but I wanted to wait until more people discovered my channel to begin working on this very specific video idea I had. So I'm glad it's finally complete with proper audio and everything! (Even though it was an entire mess to make sense of because the ridiculous amount of footage I had recorded lol)

    Ain't no way Asagiri put THAT character design down on a piece of paper and didn't know the mans would have a thousand simps via the two second clip we saw of him in season ones intro. Bros got a hat, a ponytail, and more leather buckles on him than the entirety of the village people put together... this was INTENTIONAL.

    I completely agree that chuuya's potential had been wasted in relation to his role in shin soukoku (as in, he has none). it really doesn't make sense from a writing standpoint why he's not being included at all, especially since so much could come out of it. his relationship with Dazai could be expanded, his mentorship with Akutagawa could be explored, and we could see more present development for him as he is now (not at 15).

    it's always disappointed me how chuuya is portrayed (and viewed by some fans) as slightly stupid. i'm not saying i think he'd be nearly as good at deductions like ranpo or schemes like dazai, but i'd say chuuya is quite intelligent. he's short-tempered, especially when it comes to his ex-partner, but there's no way he would have been the "king of the sheep" and later become a port mafia executive if he wasn't capable of being level-headed and thinking things through when the situation calls for it. just because he's not at dazai or fyodor's level of intelligence does not mean he's stupid, and despite him being the most physically powerful character in the series, i still see people underestimating him as a person.

    I am watching this after reading ch.101 and screaming/balling my eyes out at how much truth there is to some of these facts, at least in my opinion

    it made me so mad when chuuya was saving the agency and kunikida jumped out of the helicopter chuuya (gravity manipulator) stood there and watched😭

    the thing abt Chuuya is that he CAN'T be in too much stuff. if he's around a lot, then you start developing plot holes. "why didn't Chuuya just stop the Moby Dick?" for example. If he's in the story too much, then it would realistically just become "The Chuuya and Dazai Show (ft some other guys)"

    I think in the book chuuya murdered everyone hence he knew who the murderer was. Him. he was the only murderer left. I mean it sounds smart to me because there were like fuck knows how many characters in the book and chuuya probably thought it would be quicker to just murder them.

  • @anajubs1230

    Asagiri: well we have this guys, redhead, short.. haha.. yeah he just was made to show that Dazai had a past.. he's not important let's focus on the Agency members.. no.. not Chuuya he's just a guy... Stop.. STOP YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HIS STORY HE'S JUST A RANDOM GUY!! Shit.. now I have to create a past for him... Hd was supposed to be a random guy!

    I love short tempered, trigger happy, out spoken characters. Both female and male. So he is right up my alley. Chūya Nakahara, the author, was a bit of a rebel himself too

    To be fair, Asagiri always meant for Chuuya to be the fan favorite extra. From the way Dazai's story is weaved into the main story its clear that Asagiri wanted to explore his backstory separately from the main manga and by his own admission Chuuya's design and personality took him the longest because he had to design it to both appeal to the people as well as not get overwhelmed by Dazai's sheer power as a character. The main manga never actually goes into tangents and leaves most of the extra stuff for the light novels and tie in mangas. Chuuya actually has a LOT of content in the light novels and his backstory is very well handled, the anime on the other hand adapts the light novels at its bare bones and leaves out much of the character development because its hard to deliver it through the medium and just in general exec meddling. So yea, if you're anime only or manga only you are very likely to feel disappointed but the light novels are actually a gold mine of Chuuya content. But in the end yes, Chuuya is a story breaking character so he must disappear randomly. That being said, I actually don't think shin soukoku need both skk, at least plot wise. Zskk had one mentor, skk had only one mentor and now sskk have only one mentor and I think there is something to be said about the cycle of behaviour in this series. Chuuya does have a sweet bond with both Elise, Aku and Kenji and even Q based on extra material so yea he'd be a good mentor but that would put two extremely charismatic and show stealing characters at the center and would take further attention away from Aku and Atsushi. It's a good marketing strategy though, to create hype and then leave it for extra material. And Dead Apple was a movie because it was too short for a series of episodes but too long for one episode but it does present several important details about the characters that are later expanded upon so I don't find it to be that much of a shallow cash grab. Except the amount of Chuuya in marketing, that's definitely a shallow cash grab.

    Love how this became a Chuuya analysis halfway through.

    I honestly think that the author did know that Chuuya was going to be popular, he just can’t fit him into to many places. Chuuya is meant to be the strongest ability user around (as a fold to Dazai) so it makes for a pretty boring story if he takes out every enemy without letting the other characters deal with the problem. Or worse have Chuuya be involved a lot when the port mafia gets into fights with the ADA, 9 time out of 10 he would body the whole team. So the author has to get creative with how often Chuuya shows up and how involved he can be. I honestly really liked how Ranpo tricked Chuuya into the book. It showed a different way of handling enemies, displayed creativity of the ADA, and was pretty funny. And while I would have liked to see more of him in the Dead Apple movie I understand that the movie would have to focus on Atsushi to develop his character and history some more (since we actually hadn’t seen much about Atsushi’s earlier life prior to that). So having Chuuya take down the gigantic dragon (which no one else could have done) so that the kids could handle the weakened bad guy made sense. Either way I can’t wait to see more about Chuuya, especially more from when he was younger or some of Dazai and Chuuya’s first team ups after Chuuya joined the port mafia (I just want annoyed partner interactions guys).

    Even though I like Chuuya mafia aesthetic (if that it's a thing), based on his morals and visible actions throughout the plot: literally saving the whole city more than once!!!!!. Chuuya is more than suitable to be in the ADA. It's sad that his character development hasn't gone that way. It would be too interesting to see!!!

  • @jessiehills9764

    Man, I completely agree. I love Chuuya, but I wish he was allowed in the main story more. The light novels do delve more into his past, but his present is barely touched on and his relationships outside of his relationship with Dazai is basically non-existent in the manga. There are so many gaps to fill, but sometimes I feel that Asagiri is set with making Chuuya a deus ex machina-esque character where he appears, beats people up, then disappears for a few more years. He's kinda like a mythical beast even in his own story - you get some sightings, some mentions, but is he actually there (if that makes any sense)?
