I literally laughed out loud at the "picture what those colours mean to you. The Decay of Angels are a terrorist organisation" 😭😭

The moment you mention stormbringer the depression kicks in 💀

One thing I've always thought about is that oda did basically create the balance in Yokohama. Since he sort of was the reason why the armed detective agency exists, it was his accused case of assassination where Ranpo walked in and met fukuzawa which led to the ada getting established and fukuzawa being willing to start working with people which led to him letting in yosano and kunikida and then dazai of course being encouraged to join the side that helps people before oda dies, then of course leading to the other members. So basically oda has created this balance (and he also did actually in some way save yosano since again, without Ranpo opening the opportunity for fukuzawa to work with other people, fukuzawa may not have helped yosano, and if the port mafia had dazai and yosano, the pm would vastly outweigh ada in some way)

Wait so couldn’t Kunikida print money?

In my country, Vietnam, the colors white + purple = funeral/death. Purple = grief, white = pure afterlife/ death. So I think that’s why the DOA has white and purple as their theme colors.

Watching the anime back with the knowledge of the fifth hunting dog's identity is really funny because everyone else has black jackets and coats and they're just g r e e n

the thing about the hunting dogs coat representing loyalty seems very interesting bc the mysterious 5th hunting dog takes away his coat before the fight w fukuchi...

I also almost cried at the Dazai part where you did, god you put these character design analysis into words so well

I was very proud of myself for immediately noticing the second that he got a new outfit that the belt was meant to be a tail

"... and he used it... to create a man." idk why but that had me cackling

Something else about Mori is that Elise represents his regret in a way. Elise acts like Yosano, even her bow (parallel to where Yosano wears it) looks just like a butterfly. There is an official art with Elise on it, having younger Yosano as her own shadow. In the dark era, she looks and acts more like Yosano. However, her hair changes too. It looks more wavy, and is let down, (originally in pigtails) just like Dazai. Meaning, there must be something Mori regrets in his actions with Dazai, whether or not it's directly stated. After the dark era, (when we see her again) she is acting more like Dazai. An example being, the way she was polite, yet still refused, vs now, bargaining/ making deals to at least earn something in the process. When Mori tells Elise not to eat to many sweets, Elise tells him she'll wear a dress he got, in order to eat more sweets. To which, Mori of course says yes to. Making Elise a reminder of his past mistakes and regrets is a great way to see how his character is. It shows that even if he is cruel at times, he's still human, and has his regrets. Even Dazai knows Mori regrets his actions, even if Mori states he doesn't regret anything. I still don't like him, nor do I forgive him, but it still is a different way of seeing his character

about

i have been screaming about how vamp akutagawa has a new coat and its implications for forever

One thing I'd like to add for the designs of decay of angels, specifically the trio of Fyodor, Nikolai and sigma is how they use subtle shape language.
