I don't know how to tag this, so whatever
In many movies it's said that Dracula's wife always reincarnates, so that was the inspiration for this (Fem!Kunikida looks like a Barbie, I love her)
I'm re-reading the decay of angel arc, and I don't know how I didn't notice before the parallels between Aya and Tachihara
Anything even remotely father shaped in this series must die apparently.
Boi have you looked in the mirror? เฒ โ _โ เฒ
when I said Aya deserves a new dad I didnโt mean like this โโโโ stay away from her โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ your hair is grimy โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
I mean, asagiri does like killing off children...
(doing this again cuz it was fun)
*Atsushi and Akutagawa got called to Aya's school*
Teacher: Aya punched another student and broke his nose. Both of them fought.
Atsushi, anxious: SHE what? She never acts like that please believe me! I apologise for her actions
Akutagawa, looking at his watch and tapping his feet: do we have to pay damages?
Atsushi: this is not the time for that? Aya-chan, apologise!
Aya: I am not apologising! Daddy, that kid said you are a terrorist and dad is a criminal
Atsushi: no we are not
Akutagawa: we aren't?
Atsushi, gritting his teeth: you're not helping here
Teacher: it's okay...Aya and the kid can talk it out tomorrow and say sorry.
*they get home*
Aya: you're mean, I was defending you!
Atsushi: why am I the villain here. Why aren't you reprimanding her, Akutagawa?
*Akutagawa leans towards Aya and whispers in her ear*
Akutagawa: so who won the fight? Did you?
Atsushi: RYUUNOSUKE----
*Akutagawa tying Aya's hair*
Aya: Ahhh are you trying to kill me? You can't even make pig tails?
Akutagawa: if you complain too much I'll use rashomon to tie it up
Aya: HEY that's not fair!
*noise and smoke from the kitchen*
Akutagawa, rolling his eyes: jinko I thought you could cook
Atsushi: uh yeah I can cook basic things. Your kitchen is too advanced for me!
Aya: I don't want to eat burned toast again papa
Atsushi: I know honey, I'll make sure it's only slightly burned
Akutagawa: now did you do your homework?
Aya: what homework?
Atsushi: what homework?
*Akutagawa making a science project and Atsushi writing essays*
Aya: are you sure you two can do this? You haven't been to school before
Akutagawa: I am smart enough to do it unlike a certain weretiger---
Atsushi: oh you SHUT UP--
(shhhh BSD is about two rivals raising a little girl together like it's buddy daddies)
Atsushi: I am really sorry for your loss little girl ๐
Aya: why do my dad's keep dying
Atsushi: oh....did you have two dads?
Aya: uh huh, technically four
Atsushi: h-how did that happen
Aya: I have a biological dad, who was the worst thing in my life
Atsushi: oh sorry
Aya: then I got Kunikida and things were okay for while, then he died.
Atsushi, tears forming: yes I just saw that ๐ญ
Aya: Bra-chan became my dad too, he thinks I remind him of his daughter
Atsushi: awww ๐ฅบ
Aya: he was killed by Dosto-whatever-his-name-is in front of me
Atsushi: not him too
Aya: then the Dosto-person became my new dad, which I didn't consent to, he took Bra-chan's body!
Atsushi: this cannot get weirder
Aya: after all that Bra-chan came back to life for a min and gave me a new dad to replace him
Atsushi: and who's that?
Akutagawa: Princess, I brought your favourite doughnuts!
Atsushi: A-Akutagawa? What are you---
Aya: Oh here he is my new dad
Atsushi: you are a dad now?
Akutagawa: yes, it just happened recently. Jinko we have a child now.
Atsushi: W-We what?
I don't think Akutagawa has lost his memories, neither do I think he's faking it, or doing it as a way to get Atsushi to react and get back on his feet.
In chapter 117, when Bram saves Aya from the airport wreckage, he says that he transferred his consciousness into Akutagawa's body when Fyodor's ability took over his own body, and that his ability would also die with him, his consciousness disappearing as a consequence. . The question is: we don't know what happens to a vampire who turns back into a human, nor whether all vampires were transformed back, or just Akutagawa, because Bram took his body. I don't believe that all vampires have become human, as Fyodor mentions that as long as he has Bram's body, the echoes of his ability would still exist, and he can still control everyone who has been turned into a vampire around the world, so it is likely that only Akutagawa was transformed into a human again (vampirism having disappeared along with Bram's consciousness), even if remnants of his transformation are still present in his body, like a vampire's durability. It is these vampiric remnants and characteristics that make me think that Akutagawa's sudden amnesia was caused by traces of Bram's soul/consciousness in his body.
When Bram dies, we see Akutagawa accepting his mission to protect Aya. Everything in the manga suggested that this was Akutagawa's own decision, and to a certain extent, it is, but it is quite likely that Bram's traits and characteristics remained in Akutagawa's body even after his death. This whole role of a "noble knight" was a striking characteristic of Bram, who always saw the current world as if it were still his time, and used terms from that same time to refer to everyone. Part of Bram's consciousness may have remained in Akutagawa's body along with the vampire characteristics, causing his consciousness to mix with Bram's consciousness, or be overwhelmed by it, which perhaps could have been the cause of his lack of consciousness, and memory. Something I found curious is that Akutagawa not only has protecting Aya (or the princess) as his mission, but also the commoners, something that was not included in Bram's order/request.
So where did the part about protecting the commoners come from? Is it something caused by Bram's influence? A part of Akutagawa's new (and probably temporary) knight persona? Or a wish of his own? His own desire to protect people?
Well, I don't know, but if that's the case, I can see a lot of ways this memory loss could really add something to Akutagawa's character arc. We know that he is someone who is truly true to his promises, and when Bram's consciousness and influence begin to dissipate from his mind, he will probably still remind that he promised to protect Aya, and will commit to fulfilling his promise. Being placed in the role of protecting someone, for Akutagawa, would be something really good, it would help him understand that he doesn't need to kill for his life to have meaning, that there is also value in protecting other people, that this is not necessarily linked to a failure (the last time he protected someone, they all got killed), and that there is something good about protecting and helping people. Finding a new reason to live would also help him get rid of the idea that the value of his life is linked to Dazai's approval of him. It's clear how he was using rashomon in a much more effective way in the last chapter compared to his other fights, so much that even Atsushi seems surprised. I believe this comes from the fact that Akutagawa learned (due to his life both on the slums and in the mafia) to use rashomon as a weapon, not as an extension of his own body, as a part of himself, in addition to that he does not need to use rashomon to fortify his body, which allows him to use rashomon more freely.
Other things that I think could have caused Akutagawa's amnesia are his transformation back into a human (dying, being turned into a vampire, and then back into a human again could definitely do some damage to anyone's brain), and Bram's promise to Aya to protect her, as we know that in Bsd promises can be kept even after someone has turned into a vampire (as we see with Akutagawa and his promise not to kill anyone). Bram's promise to Aya surpassed Dostoevsky's ability, causing Fyodor to create a great will to protect Aya, so it is not so impossible that it also surpassed Bram's death.
Ok kuniBram but angst
Bram thinks kunikida is straight and dose his best to avoid kunikida every chance he gets he wants to forget his feelings for kunikida who's straight
Meanwhile kunikida misunderstood and thinks that Bram hates/delikes him for no reason and try his best to become friends with Bram who been avoided him and dose his best to try to talk to bram and try to talk to Aya
Meanwhile
Aya thinks that kunikida did some to Bram to which she begins to avoid kunikida as well and would hang out with the rest of the Ada every time she visited the Ada ignoring the fact she's hurting his feelings she just didn't understand what's going on
[Princessโฆ

You, yourself, must become the knight.]
I started this drawing when Aya was first compared to Bram's daughter in the manga but I never found the time to finish it, but the last chapter was like a sign that I had to .... I also put the draft because I like it a lot and I prefer the expression I gave Aya on this last one

What if Aya Koda from Bungou Stray Dogs got transported to Twisted Wonderland.
Iโm placing it under the cut in case any twst fans are also in the bsd but is not caught up to the manga as there will be spoilers for chapter 93.
When Aya was first summoned and was out of the coffin she kicked Grim and then ran away from the room for the exit. When Crowley dose find her she also tries to kick him, he almost gets kicked.
โโโ
Ace: Aya there are many other ways to die that are less pain full!
Aya: What itโs just Tsunotarou!?!
Vil: I donโt know if your dumb or just naรฏve. That is the dorm leader Diasomnia and prince of the Valley of Thorns Malleus Draconian.
Aya: Your a prince!
Malleus: So do you know fear me?
Aya: No. Iโve had a bomb attached to me before and someone that was trying to kill me.
โโโ
No one believes any of her stories as if it didnโt happen, but yes all of them did happen to her.
Lilia: Aya your stories are really interesting.
Sebek: Non fiction stories are always fun to hear!
Aya: They all are very real! I have memories of them!
Lilia: *pats her head* Itโs ok dear child.
Aya: *talks about them again making sure people believe her*
โโโ
Ayaโs justice and stubborn makes her get stuck in problems and drama that is not her business. Teachers are use to seeing her in the office explaining why she punched a student or being praised by uncovering a scandal.
โโโ
The students and teachers got tired of hearing the same stories as Aya claims them to be real. So she told them letโs go through her memories, so they did.
Memory Aya: *has a bomb attached to her ticking down*
Kunikida: *stops the train bomb runs and hugs Aya as the bomb goes off*
The smoke slowly disappeared to show the two with only distorted clothes.
Kunikida: With Yosano the armed detective agency is invincible, you also forgot to read my calendar.
Riddle: So the bomb story happened to you!
Aya: See I told you all that it happened!
Lilia: Oh my so there is a huge chance the military scandal did happen.
Jouno & Fukuchi: *Fight and talking about world domination*
Jouno then is defeated and gets bitten, after he is dragged away Aya takes a photo of the coffin and Fukuchi with her phone, the flash was on catching Fukuchiโs attention.
Aya: *running and hiding some where as Fukuchi tries to find her to kill her*
Silver: Oh...!
Leona: A fucking mad man tried to kill you while taking over the world!
Aya: Yes and I help prove it was him to the world!
Vil: No wonder why you are so fearless.
โโโ
After seeing all the stories are true Diasomnia now welcomes Aya to help train her fighting skills as her putting her life on the line will most likely happen again.
