Bungou Stray Dogs ch 120 is out and I would like to talk about it. This reaction will have spoilers. if you do not want to be spoiled then stop now and go check out the chapter online before looking at the reaction. AGAIN SPOILERS AHEAD.

Akutagawa might be able to win. If only Fyodor wasn’t here. For those who don’t Fyodor ability has been shown to allow him to jump into anyone who kills. He took Bram as it was one of his vampires that it. With that he created the divine being using the holy sword and the Shinto Amenogozen by stabbing both in Fukuchi. HIs ability created Am neo Gozen and has been taking down agency members are non can combat him. That is until Akutagawa showed up and that is where we are.

Akutagawa space ability is part of what given him the edge. Something that Gozen cannot cut. It is also the mere fact that Akutgawa can physical do so. For most of the series Akutagawa used Rashomon as not only a weapon but defense as nothing can penetrate it and thus it made up for his ill state. Thus why Dazai notes him to be the perfect shield for Atushi perfect attack.

This is thanks to Bram as with him using Akutagawa one last time seems to have made him a vampire of free will. All be it one that has copied some of Bram personality. How much is unclear as it is why he didn’t recognize him. It would explain his swordsman ship as again this is not what Akutagawa is known for. The guy is part of the port mafia where we see him bust an gun or bomb depending on what he has. This is a new shift as we see him being the black knight to Gozen white.

This is why Atsushi is taken back as he is seeing him face the guy straight on. He thinks he figured what Atsushi has been using to drive him. An inner strength that to Atsushi he must have found as it is the only way to explain it. Again keep in mind the Bram part Atsushi doesn’t really know about so this is his best guess as he sees the man who has become his unwitting partner in crime hold his own. It is nice to see how even with all the unstoppable power Gozen has this is acting as a road block to him. It points out that things can despite how they look still get in Fyodor way.

The only problem with this is Fyodor is like Dazai. His ability always offers an out as Dazai offers him a way to deal with powerful ability users. But it is the 2 minds that makes them a threat to any enemy. Thus Fyodor doesn’t see Akutagawa as a wall blocking his path as he intends to be but a speed bump. As he sees the fight and just looks at it as going fine then. Swords fighting isn’t working so I will just take a different route to attack you since I can use time and space to attack you in any way and attacks from within. He goes down and we see from the anime ending of season 5 he doesn’t stay down but for now Akutagawa is down.

This shows that even if you have the swords skills to stand toe to toe with Gozen they can still attack from with in. It paints the picture that Daiza again might be the only to take it on but the thing he is not the fighter. Chuya is and I don’t know how his gravity will fair with this. It might be the answer being a fundamental force but hard to tell. But the main reason we get this is to set up how hard of a hill this will be for who steps up to Gozen net. Fukuzawa steps up to stand in Gozen and Fyodor way being the only fighting member of the agency left. The superhuman assassin of the war who ability is to help others to control there now stand in front of one of the strongest opponents the agency has faced and despite his order in not taking on Gozen he will.

This was a great chapter with the battle only to show once again the mind is king as another fighter in Fukuzawa steps up. Very Cool.
