* In Yosano's backstory, we see that Elise is quite different from now. She wore different clothes, and seems more to be like a house robot than a normal girl. She also seems to be older, and last but not least, she calls Mori 'Master' instead of 'Rintarou'. However, in chapter 50, we see Elise being more similar to what she is now and if you look at the [[Timeline/BungoStrayDogs timeline]], you notice that that chapter actually takes place ''after'' Yosano's backstory. Yosano back then was a young girl under the age of 12 (she was 11), had a fierce temperament and wore nurse's clothing. What does Mori's Ability do again? Oh, yeah, it creates a thing he desires...

* The Sheep (Chuuya's affinity from before he joined the Mafia) show no sign of respecting Chuuya, who ''should'' be a leader, having an Ability and all. There is also no sign of the Sheep having an ''actual'' leader. Real sheep have no hierachy, hence why [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=998_wWfzBvA these]] things happen - all sheep just follow the sheep in front of them. Even the Bible uses sheep as a .etaphor for people in an anarchy.

* Why is Atsushi so much worth on the Black Market? It's something of all factors combined.
** There's the thing that Atsushi is the key to The Book.
** In real life, tigers are endangered especially because of their fur and other parts of their body can be sold for millions of dollars.
** Their body parts are used for 'medicine' (loosest definition), and Atsushi's tiger can regenerate. Imagine how much worth they'd be.

Fridge pages are spoilers off, so you are warned!



** On a deeper level: 'Ryuunosuke' means '[[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons son of the dragon]]', because the real-life Akutagawa was born in the Year of the Dragon, in the Month of the Dragon, at the Hour of the Dragon. [[TigerVersusDragon The tiger and the dragon]] are often at odds with each other in mythology [[spoiler: and maintain the peace]]. The contrast fits as well, with Atsushi recklessly charging at things, and Akutagawa using his power in various different ways.

* {{Meta}}: The fact that ''writers and poets'' are the one who get powers, and the characters in their stories don't (i.e, Junichirou does and Naomi not). Writers are a special kind of people if you think about it - they can create entire worlds in their books and make people feel things, controlled by their own words. The jump from this to 'magical powers' isn't that big to take. This is also why every ability is called after a book or a line in a poem of some sorts, and the effect beams are composed of words [[https://bsd-bibliophile.tumblr.com/post/168430399499/i-love-the-details-in-bungo-stray-dogs-because-so if you look closely]].

* Why does Atsushi still have scars from the orphanage, although being able to regenerate? That is because he used to only be able to regenerate in tiger form. It is when he joins the Agency, that Fukuzawa makes it so that he can regenerate when not in tiger form. The people in the orphanage likely did not have the tools or courage to wound him in tiger form, and everytime the headmaster is shown wounding him, is when he is in normal form.
