Oda shoots his pistol to Akutagawa but the latter sliced the space before him with his Rashōmon and the bullet stopped. Oda is able to dodge the attack.Īkutagawa continues to attack Oda. Oda soon sees a vision where Akutagawa attacks him. Akutagawa then shows his rage after revealing what Dazai told him about not being being able to defeat Oda even if he train for a hundred years. Akutagawa tells Oda that he have heard about him and Oda confirms that he is Dazai's friend. He leaves money to the shop owner to support the children.Oda suddenly had a vision. He visits often and the children are fond of him. He mostly leaves them in the care of a curry shop owner. He became somewhat of an oddball in the mafia, known as 'the mafia member who doesn't kill'.Īfter the Dragon's Head Rush conflict, he took in 5 kids: Kousuke, Katsumi, Yuu, Shinji and Sakura, children who were orphaned after the incident. He also strived to be a better person in general (advice that he would later give to Dazai Osamu), adopting five children that were orphaned as a result of a particularly intense conflict between underworld organizations. "To write novels is to write about humans"-Oda took Natsume's words to heart, and, believing that a murderer has no right to write about human lives, decided to never kill again in hopes of becoming a novelist eventually and writing his own conclusion to the book in a room with an ocean view.
#Sakunosuke oda series#
Natsume encouraged Oda to write his own conclusion to the novel, and later gave Oda the last volume of the series but with the final pages missing. Natsume caught Oda reading the first two volumes (out of three) of a novel he salvaged from one of his recent victims' houses, and commented that the last volume is an atrocious piece of work and Oda should be happy that he only has the first two volumes. However, his meeting with Natsume Souseki in a cafe had changed him. He used to be an assassin for hire and was ruthless in his line of work. However, he also has an incredibly perceptive side to him that allows him to come the closest to understanding Dazai, who he referred to as "his dear friend, who had grown tired of the world and is simply waiting to die."It is his understanding of Dazai's loneliness, as well as his regret of not being able to do anything about it, that prompted him to leave behind the last words that became the trigger for Dazai deserting the mafia in favor of carving a brighter path for himself, something that Oda wanted to do.Īs what is shown in the light novel "Dazai Osamu and the Dark Era", Oda Sakunosuke is a member of the Port Mafia. Oda means what he says, and sometimes mistakenly assume that about other people-for example, when he gave serious responses to Dazai's joke explanations of how he got his various injuries. Nevertheless, when furious, he showed amazing and strong fighting skills that Dazai had warned Akutagawa about.ĭazai called him "a man who has no ulterior motive". He had a nice temper, and so, was one of the few persons in the mafia who almost didn't kill. Oda is a man described as kind despite working for the mafia by Dazai during the events of Chapter 34, as he reminisced his friend during a conversation with Kyouka.
