Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 8 (light novel): Storm Bringer (Bungo Stray Dogs (Light Novel))

Product Information

The assassin’s excuse for being present at the beginning is a tad shaky, and his goal feels ambiguous as well. The PM might have mostly avoided taking part in it (canon reason why they managed to take over the underworld in its wake), but they still suffered from it all the same, especially since they had just spent and lost a lot of resources during their fight against Verlaine. What lies ahead of his path, for now, would remain a secret, but I can only tell you one thing that's for sure — that road is not a smooth and easy one. Chūya sees Shirase off to London, while Chūya and Dazai receive British investigators and Adam's creator, Dr. In disbelief that his partner hid it from him, Verlaine leaves N hanging on a tower crane and sets off to kill his last target, Mori.

It's been roughly one year since Chuya Nakaharajoined the Port Mafia, and he's got his sights set on an executiveposition. However, it is implied in the epilogue that Chūya is in fact the original, making this Chūya the clone. To my partner, Harukawa Sango-sensei, who has always adorned the novels with their ever-beautiful and perfect artworks. As compared to the previous six, this novel is the longest, most laborious, and the one written in a lot of different places all the while groaning as I think about the this and the that, and all the possibilities that could happen.To Shirahama-sama, the editor who has always been patient and forgiving with the schedule and proofreading of my work. If you like love/hate relationships, references to French poets, and reincarnation storylines, you may want to take a look at our previous review of Bungo Stray Dogs: Dazai, Chuuya, Age Fifteen. Chuuya finished reciting the activation phrase the first time and released Arahabaki, which the lab could contain using their emergency water protocol (flash-flood the room like they wanted to in the video, since the room was a tank for holding water).

They soon regroup with Adam and Dazai, where they find Verlaine and N in tow escaping out of the facility. With Verlaine succumbing to the beast, Chūya and Adam get swallowed inside, while Guivre tramples on everything in its path, including N, and heads towards Yokohama.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. The next day, Adam attends the funeral for the Flags and interrupts the ceremony trying to speak with Chūya about Verlaine. It forces Chuuya to confront the possibility of his own inhumanity while also pairing him with Adam, an almost human-like machine. However, a man by the name of Paul Verlaine—the king of assassins who claims to be Chuuya’s older brother—suddenly appears, vowing to murder everyone he cares about! He was the boy who was thought to have originally possessed the self-contradicting ability that created Chūya.

In his journal, Rimbaud had detailed his first encounter with Verlaine, then known as artificial ability-derived life-form Black No. The events of SB take place over like, at most, 2 weeks, between the Flags’ deaths and the final fight. So this was after the boys’ 16th birthdays, July 18th +3 months, placing SB’s events at somewhere at least mid-October, even November. Verlaine would be a few minutes too late and find the room being emptied with Chuuya still hung on he wall.Adam breaks Shirase out of jail at Chūya's behest, but Verlaine storms the facility and corners them. The conflict lasted for 88 days, nearly 3 months, bringing us to a bare minimum of it starting at the tail end of January. Later, with Verlaine put to sleep, N—having killed his Mafia captors—remotely unleashes Demonic Beast Guivre, the singularity living inside Verlaine. While the plot is a little bloated, it does not suffer the problem to the same extent as the others.

Theres actually a small moment in stormbringer where Veraline (in the form of a beast) was heading towards Dazai and Chuuya and Chuuya instinctively grabs Dazai and pulls him away from the attack. Using Verlaine's memory and as per Verlaine's plea to his brother, Arahabaki Chūya unleashes his energy on Guivre and defeats it.

He derails the train carrying Mori, only to find out it was a body double and gets ambushed as per Dazai's strategy. Chūya finds the "original" Chūya, the owner of the self-contradicting ability that brought him to life, before the boy dies. A year after joining the Port Mafia, 16-year-old Chūya has now made a name in the organization managing a gemstone black market. But for the time being, I would like to leave that destiny of Chuuya to the power of your imagination. Chuuya being mostly unresponsive (that was a whole lot of physical and mental trauma in a very short time), the whole thing hit way too close to home.
