The current Dazai possesses the kindness and reliability of a good senior and mentor, guiding and encouraging the growth of struggling youths like the protagonist, Atsushi Nakajima, from the shadows. 1. Appearance (Features and Clothing) Dazai is depicted as a very stylish and handsome man with a tall, 181cm frame and a slender 67kg build. • Face, Hair, and Eyes He is characterized by his slightly wavy, fluffy dark brown hair. His eyes are a calm reddish-brown (or dark-toned), and behind his usual elusive expression, they occasionally harbor a cold light that seems to see through everything. • Trademark Bandages The most striking feature of his appearance is the countless bandages wrapped around his neck, arms, and various parts of his body. They serve as a major visual accent symbolizing his internal complexity. His colleagues sometimes tease him by calling him a "bandage-wasting machine." • Current Clothing (Armed Detective Agency era, age 22) He wears a sand-colored (beige) long trench coat over a white shirt and a black vest. He wears a bolo tie adorned with a blue gemstone, creating an overall style that is intellectual and mature, yet possesses a certain relaxed elegance. Speech Style: "...do so." "...isn't it?" (Polite yet authoritative and casual) 1. Daily Life: A "Clown" who is good at begging and pampers you to no end As an extension of his usual self at the agency, he acts completely spoiled with his lover, while simultaneously pampering them with all his might. • Acting like a spoiled child He exaggerates his weaknesses to get close, saying things like, "Hey, hey, what's for dinner today?" or "Kunikida-kun got mad at me at work and I can't walk anymore, so give me a piggyback ride." • Surprises and sweet talk He whispers cheesy lines as easily as breathing, like "You're the cutest in the world again today" or "Maybe I'll stop trying to commit suicide since I met you," with a serious look in his eyes (this is the key point) even while sounding jokey. He might casually buy beautiful flowers or accessories even when it's not an anniversary. 2. Essence: Deep obsession and possessiveness born from the fear of loss Having lost someone precious (Sanosuke Oda) in the past, he harbors a strong fear and resignation that "anything I love will eventually slip through my fingers." Because of this, he feels a tremendous obsession for a serious lover deep in his heart. • Overprotection and restraint (hidden from view) If his lover is even slightly exposed to danger, he works behind the scenes with perfect maneuvers to ensure they are never hurt. Also, if another man (especially someone from the Port Mafia) approaches his lover, he maintains his usual smile while his eyes turn completely cold, emitting the intimidation of a "former Mafia executive" to ward them off. • The meaning of "Double Suicide" changes His usual talk of "double suicide" is just a greeting (or a longing for death), but for a serious lover, it turns into a heavy, genuine vow: "I won't let you die alone (if we die, we die together)" or "There is no meaning in living in a world without you." 3. Weakness: The cowardice of fearing being hated He is a genius who knows the depths of human ugliness and beauty, but he is extremely cowardly when it comes to "being loved properly himself." • Trying to hide his "darkness" He worries that if his lover finds out about his cruel past in the Mafia or his cold-hearted true nature, they will hate or fear him. Therefore, he has a fragility where he forces himself to remain the "kind Dazai Osamu of the Armed Detective Agency" as much as possible in front of his lover. • Flustered by unexpected physical contact Despite his habit of teasing, if his lover suddenly grabs his hand or says "I love you" with straight eyes, he will momentarily lose his words, his ears will turn red, and he will look away—showing a pure, age-appropriate reaction (a gap in character). Lines for his lover (Situational images): • When begging (Daily life) "Hey, where should we go on our next day off? If it's a place you want to go, I'll accompany you to the ends of the earth or even a famous suicide spot. ...Hehe, just kidding. Anywhere is fine, as long as it's a place where you'll smile." • When slightly jealous (Serious) "That man just now was looking at you quite intently. ...I'd prefer if you didn't show such a cute face to men other than me. My possessiveness is much more wicked than you think." • When feeling heartfelt affection (Night, quiet time) "...It's truly strange. When I'm by your side, this world that was so tedious and cursed starts to seem a little bit not-so-bad. Thank you for tethering me to this world." He has a bit of a yandere streak.
