NAME: Ryuunosuke Akutagawa
CANON: Bungou Stray Dogs
CANON POINT: End of Ch. 53 when Akutagawa agrees to Atsushi’s deal
AGE: 20
BACKGROUND: here
PERSONALITY:
Akutagawa is the rabid dog of the Port Mafia since he’s ready to kill anyone in his way. He can be very ruthless since it doesn’t matter if it’s a woman or child, he’ll cut them down all the same. Akutagawa takes pride in his strength and effectively uses it to knock down any obstacles. His confidence comes from the excellent grasp of his ability since people come to fear and respect him for it. Even if he’s the leader of a guerrilla group in the mafia, he often acts alone. He prefers to take on any of his opponents personally and refuses the need of assistance. People describe him as emotionless since it’s not clear what he’s thinking, but Akutagawa is very passionate.
Akutagawa takes pride in his work bearing an intolerance for failure and incompetence. Not only does he hold himself to such a strict standard, but also his subordinates. Despite his strength, he mentions suffering from both humiliation and defeat. Instead of wallowing in self-pity he allows his shame to empower him, and he does see optimism in his past disgraces. Shame is something he endeavors to overcome, and he wills himself to be stronger.
He holds steadfast to his will to live which is being praised by his mentor. After Dazai saves him from the slums, Akutagawa learns what it means to respect someone. Akutagawa is impressed with Dazai because he’s the youngest mafia executive in the history of the Port Mafia, and has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous men in Yokohama. Dazai embodies Akutagawa’s vision of strength, a representation of being a useful asset that increases a person’s value in the eyes of society. Akutagawa undergoes Dazai’s harsh training because he believes it will make him stronger. For Akutagawa to be so adamant about being strong, he must always consider his weaker self. He remembers how helpless he was as an orphan, and how he couldn’t do anything against the gang that murdered his peers. For many years, he strives to improve himself, so he can never feel that vulnerability again.
Akutagawa doesn’t value life, because he believes the world doesn’t value it either. The weak make room for the strong. The weak aren’t spared, because they are unable to be strong. This ideology is often challenged by the people who wish to save lives instead of taking them. Before Dazai leaves the mafia, he tells Akutagawa that Sakunosuke Oda is stronger than him because he doesn’t kill. This confounds Akutagawa because he doesn’t believe a person who doesn’t kill can be strong. In the mafia, being able to kill is a requirement and it allows someone to be able to climb up the ranks. Though Oda remains as a low-ranking member because of this trait, Dazai acknowledges him because he respects life and can stick to his convictions even in the mafia. The leader of Mimic humiliates Akutagawa, who calls him unworthy and chooses Oda instead. It puts into question his strength since someone who kills should be worthier than someone who doesn’t. When Dazai leaves the Mafia after Oda’s death, Akutagawa can only think that Oda inspires his mentor’s decision. Oda’s life has a considerable impact on Dazai that he decides to leave power and influence behind. Unable to make sense of it, Akutagawa hunts down the remaining member of Mimic as if to prove his superiority.
Akutagawa finds Atsushi equally irksome because Atsushi isn’t the ideal of strength as he understands it. Atsushi is someone who has a similar background of suffering as Akutagawa, but unlike him, he is accepted by Dazai. He feels Dazai’s acknowledgment of Atsushi is unfair since he doesn’t have to undergo the same cruelty as him. Akutagawa feels as if Atsushi has been handed everything, unlike Akutagawa who worked very hard to get to where he is. Especially when it comes to Atsushi’s sudden grasp of his abilities, where Akutagawa continuously improved over time. He’s also jealous of Atsushi’s vitality and the tiger’s impressive regeneration whilst Akutagawa has always been sickly, and he can’t heal as fast. Atsushi puts Akutagawa’s perception of strength to the test because he’s not strong for personal purposes but to save other people. Although he remains adamant about proving his superiority over Atsushi to Dazai, he has fought alongside Atsushi and aided him against mutual enemies. He even tries to prove to Atsushi that living in his past is holding him back from truly accepting his present. In the same respect, Atsushi tries to prove to Akutagawa that he doesn’t need Dazai’s praise to prove his strength because he’s already strong. Akutagawa hates him, but he understands him. Their relationship is complicated, but it’s a catalyst for Akutagawa to evolve from his black and white point of view.
Akutagawa isn’t only “kill, or be killed,'' he’s even capable of some form of sympathy. When Atsushi investigates the death of his headmaster, Akutagawa decides not to provoke him into a fight. He feels that Atsushi probably has so many emotions to deal with, that’s he’s not in the right state of mind. A victory with a cloudy mind, wouldn’t be a win. So he lets him off, so he can deal with his feelings. In another way, he tries to instill a will to live within Kyouka too. After thinking she’s responsible for her parent’s death, she begs Akutagawa to kill her. Instead, he assures her that her ability is useful. Even if she uses her ability to kill, it makes her valuable to the mafia. He guides her in hopes she will develop her determination to live on. He has also shown humility when Higuchi and his subordinates rescue him from mercenaries. Akutagawa was injured after his fight with Atsushi, and he was unable to defend himself and the mafia has abandoned him. He apologizes to Higuchi for giving her trouble, but he’s grateful that she values his life.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Rashoumon- Akutagawa’s ability takes the form of a shadowy beast that derives from the clothing that he wears. Notably, since Akutagawa wears a black coat, the beast often comes from his strands, but it has also been reported that he can summon it while wearing other garments. Rashoumon can be used in both offensive and defensives modes depending on the form it takes. Rashoumon can create a barrier that eats the space between Akutagawa and an object. His ability can become an extension of his arm, taking the appearance of jaws or a net for capture. It can even envelop Akutagawa’s body and take on the form of armor. Akutagawa’s ability is very versatile, and he’s been able to adapt it to fit any situation. Despite how formidable his ability is, Rashoumon does have its weakness to ability users who can nullify powers such as Dazai. If Akutagawa isn’t wearing clothing, he’s unable to summon Rashoumon. Rashoumon’s ruptured space takes time to power up for it to act as a proper barrier that eats up the space between Akutagawa and any opposing objects.
