last time I watched this movie was when it came out and now after watching it again I surprisingly enjoyed it more probably cause I knew what it was lmao... half of it doesn't make sense but it was fun, I also agree that it should've ended with chuuya defeating the dragon but I guess we have to have the protagonist save the day, which is a shame and probably what annoyed me the most... but the fanservice of everything was entertaining and I'm happy it included odasaku they couldn't make the movie about fyodor because he becomes too big of a character, I'm surprised he was even included in the movie but with the three masterminds plotline I see how it makes sense, it also teases his appearance in s3... so finally, my fav season I'm so excited for the ride, I hope you enjoy it as well

i think dismissing atsushi's role in the final battle as just being a shonen trope is... really, really missing the point of atsushi's role in the movie at all, and as a character in general. the antagonist has a past with the main character, and i imagine that shared past is canon to the anime regardless of it being content that wasn't in the LNs originally, especially since asagiri kafka wrote the script himself. so yes, the very very shonen way it's presented is needlessly over the top (although definitely fun), but "i guess we have to have the protagonist save the day" is blatantly ignoring that atsushi was the one who killed shibusawa originally when being tortured enough finally set off his tiger form, and doing that (even to protect his own life) screwed with him bad enough that he repressed the memory, adding it to the pile of things he's passively suicidal about throughout a lot of the story. considering how much of atsushi's arc and his capacity to use/accept the tiger is tied to the tiger at least partially embodying his will to live is vital to this. [aside: yes, it also has some weird unique nature as an ability that i don't personally have answers about yet, i'm anime only with a handful of spoilers for now, so i don't know if LN readers know more about the tiger's weird role in the metaplot, only its relationship to atsushi's will to live despite all his guilt issues] for example, in theory being included in All Men Are Equal should've been enough to use the tiger freely even if some practice would be necessary to learn how to be super effective that way, but atsushi's struggle to accept that he has the right to live at all caused problems with transforming at all throughout a lot of the first season. demon snow probably would have killed him if he hadn't had that unsettling, misguided but still better than nothing in the heat of the moment epiphany that he could consider himself worthy of living if he saved the other passengers on the train. that feeling brought him in line again with the tiger, the will to survive, and let him access some of its power. various emotional damage related to atsushi's kind of passive, semi-subconscious struggle to maintain his will to live is still a problem in this movie too. so while it's delivered in a very over the top way, i think it's incredibly reductive to act like we just "had to have the protagonist save the day". what we had to have was atsushi consciously choosing to kill shibusawa again to protect himself AND others, which requires him accepting that it wasn't wrong to kill shibusawa to protect himself before either, especially since it was a result of lashing out with his ability in a way he wasn't really in control of at the time. accepting that he killed someone once to protect himself and that he wasn't wrong to do it matters a lot. it seems like not ALL of that character development has actually been caught up to in the anime yet - no idea when the hell the movie takes place, but it's definitely not in between seasons 2 and 3, it has to be some time later - the anime is already going to be at least a little different from the source because of the weird split between the LN and manga and also just how difficult it is to adapt LNs into anime, let alone one-cour seasons, so it'd be nice if they tied that in more clearly later. if they don't that'll be a shame, but not such a problem that i think it ruins anything, imo. also i suspect a lot of atsushi's struggle with the tiger had more detail in the LN just because... even a light novel has enough text to it that a lot of stuff has to be cut in adaptations, and since the LN's author did personally write the script for the movie, i figure he used it to create some anime-specific stuff to flesh out more of atsushi's horrible youth and trauma onscreen in some capacity. not all of the movie makes perfect sense and some of it is fanservice for sure, but if someone's going to critique something, the first step is actually paying attention to what it was about, and if you thought atsushi having the last blow in that fight didn't have any meaning to it, i can only assume attention was not, in fact, being paid. if you've seen this movie twice now and care about BSD in general, i don't think there's any real excuse for not understanding the point of the PRIMARY PROTAGONIST'S plotline in the movie. honestly, even if someone high up in the production WAS demanding the script include atsushi getting to deliver the winning blow just for classic shonen trope reasons and asagiri kafka had no choice in the matter, he still would've had to go way out of his way to create a situation where that still had thematic value, and personally i think it worked fine. sorry for such a huge reply (especially if you saw it before i figured out i needed the shift key to make line breaks on this site and fixed the wall-of-text nightmare the post originally was - i don't do patreon comments often so i sent it before i could format it properly by accident trying to find decent spots for paragraph breaks. but i just... this was such a lame, lazy take, and i could not find a concise way to get across why i feel that way. if you like this story, care about it enough to understand the parts of it that ARE understandable right now. atsushi finishing that fight does, in fact, have value. i get being frustrated that the action in the movie is over the top (even if it IS fun), and i basically agree with that, but if you're focused enough on your issues with over the top shonen combat in the film that you're missing character beats that are cool and meaningfully tied into the main character's, like, primary axis of personal growth, i think you could stand to put more work into analysis. this a franchise that is about literature and IS a form of literature, whether or not the big flashy lights were distracting two viewings in a row. (if anything was actually pointless-but-fun-to-watch it'd be akutagawa's fight with rashomon, since he was already at peace with the ability and mostly just got to kick its ass so we could watch him do it, although even then it shows that dazai's shitty treatment of him in the past did at least get through enough for him to develop SOME ability to fight without relying 100% on rashomon, so even then, it's fanservice with a little bit of substance.) and now i've written a whole damn novel on a patreon page so, i guess i'll just close it with "hell yeah, i'm also really excited for season 3 and seeing the bros go through it, that's going to be a blast".
