  • In this video I present my own Bungou Stray Dogs iceberg! I cover everything from well known points like the authors and the spin-off series to things more hidden like the real life people used in the series, storytelling elements and some dark theories.

      I am really drawn to the Tanizaki theories. Everyone else in the show is broken. But so far all we've seen of Tanizaki except for a couple of moments is just a nice kind of run-over-able guy. I don't think it's far-fetched at all that he would turn out to be one of the most broken, tragic characters on the show. Because seriously why include that squicky stuff if there wasn't a story behind it (like with Mori/Yosano/Elise). Naomi could be a combination of two people he lost - a sister and a lover- who died and his power merged them into a permanent illusion creating one person that would keep him sane and content. Not only did he lose his damn mind at the thought of her being hurt, she was shot to death episode 3. They've mentioned how people with abilities can take a lot of damage and heal, but a regular person? That never felt right. (and writers love to do that stuff, what you didn't guess she was dead? I killed her myself right from the start!)

    • @VIVIDLIE
      @VIVIDLIE  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +33

      Very true! I mean Syromyatnikov literally used ‘Sigma’ as his pen name, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was actually the inspiration. I couldn’t find much information on him aside from that and I really like the Freud theory so I ran with that for the video.
      I haven’t heard of Prus so I’ll look into that!

    • @txshiroo._

      Someone said it’s Ian Fleming (Author of James Bond) because the episode Sigma first appeared was called Skyfall and that’s actually a movie called Skyfall, which is a James Bond movie and also hes the manager of a casino and there’s a movie called Casino Royale.
      Sigma’s ability is an ability where he exchanges information, and if you don’t know, that’s basically what spies do (James Bond is a spy novel). And also Sigma’s appearance is strikingly similar to James Bond’s white suit. Their backstories are quite different but also quite similar. James Bond is an orphan who finds out what “home” is , and it’s ironically called Skyfall and Sigma debuted in a book where he’s surrounded in a vast area until he founds a house, which is similar to the home of James Bond. And also fun fact throughout the show there are some ppl in BSD that uses weaponry (like swords, guns) but the person to use the most weaponry is Sigma, which is guns. James Bond uses guns a lot for his fights and he’s known for his wacky explosive devices which is what Sigma used a lot during the Skyfall arc. And also there’s this one manga panel where the gun Sigma uses to shoot LOOKS strikingly familiar to James Bond gun that he always uses (Walther 99). Doesn’t that sound familiar? It’s one of James Bond famous guns that he uses in almost every movie poster. And also Sigma considers himself to be an “ordinary man” which is what Fleming wanted for James Bond’s character when he made him. (Fun Fact: Fleming got the name James Bond from a real life guy!). Literally Sigma’s desire is to value his own home where no one can reach him, similar to Bond’s desire about his privacy.
      Another thing would like to mention is that (SPOILERS) in the Casino Royale novel, James Bond was interrogated and tortured by a Russian organisation SMERSH, which is the main antagonist of the series. Towards the end of the series they carved a letter ‘Ш’ on Bond’s back hand and that means ‘spy’. This was mainly used as a tool to recognise Bond. The Greek equivalent to Ш is Σ which is Sigma. Both of these symbols come directly from the same original character, “Shin”. There we go. I think that’s a flag where Sigma is Ian Fleming. Another note is that in the manga, Sigma mentions two customers, Mao and Lazarus, but in the anime he mentions three customers, Richard Lazarus, Adolf Getler and Mao Fleming. (Fun Fact: Fleming is the author’s name of the series so that makes a suspicion). Oh and, Adolf Getler, who is anime original, was actually a character in the Casino Royale, who is the one that killed Vesper in novel and movie. So there we go, Sigma is Ian Fleming.

    • @txshiroo._
      @txshiroo._ 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Sigmund Freud is not even based on Sigma. In IRL hes a neurologist and in BSD literally every character is based on a real author. Sergei Syromyatnikov’s only evidence being Sigma is his name. Not that much info other than him being a journalist. Which like I said, BSD is based on real authors. Ian Fleming theory is the only accurate theory because Sigma’s first debut and arc was literally a James Bond reference (Ironically the episode Sigma debuted is called ‘Skyfall’ which is a movie). Sigma being amnesiac is like how Bond in the final novel, kills off a villain, but in exchange he suffered from amnesia, and as a result, was left living in Japan as a different identity until he returned to England one day only to find out he is dead. This is a callback to when Sigma was being born out of the book and the fact that he had amnesia. And also Bond had a symbol similar to Sigma being carved out of his hand, which is used to be identified by an evil organisation. When you try to translate it, it means “Sigma”. Ironic right? And also BSD villains arc are based on countries, (S1 being Japanese, S2 being American, S3 being Russian, S4 being European and Japanese and S5 being European and Japanese as well) Nikolai is said to be the only author who’s based in European so far so Sigma should be European as well.

    The gender swap in the cases of Koyo and Kyouka coulde be due to the stories which give name to their abilities, beacuse the designs of BSD characters are inspire in the designs of the protagonist of famous books.
    In the case of Koyo, Golden Demon, has Miya Shigisawa (a woman who wants to marry a rich guy due to her family's debts but falls in love with another man), as a main character. While, in Kyouka's case, Demon Snow is a convination of two books Shirayuki-Hime (Princess Snow White) and Demon Lake, who has Yuri (a woman who beacmes the Princess shirayuki, the spirit of a lake) as the protagonist.

    My theory is that Dazai is also an artificial human. He’s either the book’s power manifested in physical form or he’s similar to Sigma
    It explains why he knows so much to the point of being a genius and able to plan steps ahead
    But he’s aware of what he is and doesn’t want to exist because he’s detached from actual humans (which is why he claims he isn’t human) so he is trying to cease to exist (but wants to have fun while doing so)
    Yet the book keeps making divine intervention to stop him so his attempts fail every time

Another theory is that in one of the novels, Bond goes to Japan to assassinate a Russian villain at a castle. So he does his shit, and he fights him, kills him and the castle blows up. He suffers from amnesia as a result. Few months later, he returned back to England and only to find out his entire life was written in a book (Sounds familiar? IT WAS WHERE SIGMA WAS BORN OUT OF THE BOOK!! TFFFF). So there we go, Sigma is Ian Fleming. See ya guys bye

    This was a VERY well researched analysis, thank you for your hard work!!! I enjoyed listening to that.
    Until the last "theory" parts, i agreed to this. But there are too many arguments against pretty all of these theories, i don't this that any of them are true.
    - Related to Fukuzawa: Atsushi and Kenji had plenty of time now to get a feeling for their abilities and learn to adjust it. So in any case, it would just bring them a middle-power up and Kenji won't feel hungry or outpowered anymore.
    - To Tanizaki: Fukuzawa "can" surpress abilities, which doesn't mean he has to. Idk which weird person came up with the Naomi idea. If she was a illusion, she wouldnt get hit, would eat or could grab other people... and i don't think that Tanizakis ability has a 1km range. Naomi was plenty times far away.
    - To Dazai's bandages: We saw in the BSD Dazai/Chuuya 15 panel, that he had already bandages on his arms, but not on his throat when he awakened in Moris clinic. Mori should be the one who made the ones on his arms, which leads to a suicide attempt that had to be threatened and failed. Mori would have taken them off if he saw there is no injury under them as a doctor and there would be already existing before he came. Since it is a great pain if you slit it up and don't die, Dazai was traumatized due to the pain and i think its a measure and solution to prevent himself from ever doing this again. Also, we all know that he doesn't really want to kill himself for real at all after he gave it a second thought. Some injuries here and now won't kill anyone so easily and the PM does a good job protecting him in fear to fail in front of the cold blooded genius. No longer human isn't related to himself in the anime like his real life counterpart, it's to stop people that are acting no longer human trough their abilities. Since Fyodor seems to be immortal through an ability already by the newest chapter, Dazai won't be the same at all.

      TW sh, I want to know more about why Dazia wears bandages, but I don't think it's to hide scars, I've heard people say he sh on Twitter and such, but I really don't think he does because he hates pain, I have no theories on why he wears them. I mean, it would make sense if he were to wear them to remind him not to do it because it is painful but I'm not sure. Like he's smart enough to know that will hurt because he's been stabbed before. But I don't know, those are my thoughts. Maybe he really isn't human and is hiding something underneath. But as I said, I don't know.

      I hadn’t heard about the Natsume one before this, but after researching I’m pretty convinced he did. It makes sense as to why he knows so much and is so set on protecting Yokohama, because the book is stored there. Now I’m mad because I didn’t know about this before making the video hahaha

    I just want to tell my crazy theory, what if the azure king was actually kunikida from the other universe? The same universe as the other fukuchi come from. Even tough it's actually confirmed that the same appearance between kunikida and the azure king were deliberately to show that they have the same ideals, but for me it doesn't make sense. Maybe the azure king come to saving sasaki bcuz in the other universe they were a couple and sasaki died the same as canon. Maybe????
    Oh and there's another one (spoiler for 55 minutes)
    Gab uses Wells 's ability to come back to the past, but i thought, he doesn't come back to the past but rather come to another alternatives(?) Bcus if it's the same Wells I thought the ability wouldn't work anymore to Gab. But it's make sense, bcuz if Gab come back to the past, Well's ability can still work to him.
    Btw, I thought Wells's ability is kinda unique, bcuz if she wanted to improve, she needs another person to come back to the past and repeat, and the improvement can only be feel by that person that come back to the past. This happened to Gab and I used Atsushi as a comparison. But there's a theory, in the novel, Wells said to Atsushi that there's no second chance for him. I have two assumptions for this, firstly, Wells did not know that her ability could be used many times, but not for herself, but for other people, this could explain why Wells warned Atsushi. And secondly, Wells was afraid that his powers would be used carelessly and she deliberately warned Atsushi so that Atsushi would not mess with her abilities. Is it possible that he had trauma during the war that used his abilities to win the war until she finally ran away? Who knows.
    Back to Gab, whenever he uses Wells's ability, the time is getting longer, right? What if the ability is actually realizes that someone is using it? Because the time is getting longer even until years. If the time is repeated, the ability wouldn't even realize it. Oh, and there's the last, maybe this is count as a plot hole but, how Dazai even survived this? I mean, he has an ability to nullifying any other abilites, like in s5 that Dazai told Sigma that he can stop the time, it's because another user's ability and Dazai is the only one who can move. Does he even realizes that the time is repeated?
    And that's it! (I'm writting this in the middle of night LMAO) Thanks 4 reading😊😊

    17:20 I DID NOT KNOW THAT! I thought his power was giving the agency members the ability to control their special abilities. I didn’t know that his ability was basically weakening their ability to a point where they could control it. The idea that Tanizaki’s power is just being weakened and is actually way more powerful is crazy, but also makes sense because he said his power isn’t built for combat but then like the same episode or smth were shown that it IS! Built for combat and he clearly knows how to utilize it to such a degree. But maybe he doesn’t fight because Fukuzawa knows he’d become unstable at the sight of Naomi getting hurt, who could be an illusion as well, but she might be actually real considering wouldn’t she just disappear after Atsushi (who was mind controlled) attacked her, that or Tanizaki’s ability might actually be more powerful than we realize if it can still hold up after Naomi is attacked no wonder if might be suppressed by Fukuzawa. Like imagine Tamizaki’s ability being one of the most powerful in the series, and might be strong enough like the infinite tsukiyomi (I forgot how to spell it and am too lazy to check 😭 sorry)

    15:30 i honestly find the sigma is named after freud theory hard to believe and not just because freud fucking sucks. for one, most, if not all of the bsd characters are named after people who are primarily known as poets or novelists, not scientists or theorists. to me, it seems more likely that sigma isn't really based off of anyone at all and is simply an enigma in terms of bsd naming. yes, all the other characters with abilities are named after authors BUT sigma was literally written into existence. he could be loosely named after a character of whoever wrote him into the book (or maybe he was written into existence by some greek guy and this is a very very loose bit of foreshadowing) or maybe he really is just an entirely unique character who isn't really based on anything pre-existing.

      @@slug05 that was actually addressed in the manga! An extra panel shows Atsushi asking Dazai why they called him a man-eater and if he ate anyone. Dazai looks to the side, not answering. Atsushi is now scared and swears to never eat meat again. Dazai asks what he’ll eat instead and Atsushi answers tea on rice. The extra story is clearly meant to be a joke, the punchline being that nothing about Atsushi’s diet would change, but the fact that you can’t tell if dazai is just messing w Atsushi or not could be an interesting thing to look into! In my comment I was referring to the cannibalism theory that refers to his parents tho. I hope my extensive hyper-fixation on this series was of service to you!
