delving more on the "superhuman" vs "there's no such thing as a super-human nor average human" thing.

Maybe same Fyodor and Fukuchi parallels/similarities, many more things

I will likely rewrite this thread in the distant future to include those things

As much as his goal, to create "a world without the sin of ability users" seems selfless enough in the grand scheme of things, I think rather it is the opposite.

If you were to read further into his goal, it's selfish, the epitome of selfishness

Dazai, someone who could be seen as a representative of the ada to Fyodor since he is the only ada member so far who has had direct interactions with Fyodor, believes that it is the "average" who make the most change in the world

(So I'm sure Fyodor must be a big fan of Kunikida lmao)

But unlike Sigma, Fyodor is pessimistic enough not to believe the ada is a provider of sinless love that is "mutually beneficial".

He even mocks it by calling it an "evening sunlight" and undoubtedly views the ada as an enemy, a sinful entity obstructing him from his objective.

even (his promised land).

Like how he likely relates to Sigma being an "ultimate stranger to this world", I think he may also relate to Sigma's desire of wanting unconditional trust (which could be sought from the ada as Dazai has evidenced to Sigma)

like him so he isn't alone.

Dazai himself even suggests how he and Fyodor belong to completely different worlds compared to the majority of other people, so it wouldn't surprise me if Fyodor really does feel at least this sub-conscious level of loneliness

Since the beginning even, he has often proposed how he and Dazai are alike, this could be interpreted as him just making a surface-level observation that yes, you and I are alike, but you could also interpret it as him subconsciously desiring some sort of relatability, someone

And yes, what Dazai says here perfectly juxtaposes this idea (I'll mention it again later)

(he has been described as “some nice guy" before, as a “kind man”, and therefore as someone nice and approachable), he can make people respect and follow him, almost make people want and even appreciate his help.

A prime example of this being displayed is when during chapter 78 Nikolai states how “Dos-kun was the one person in my life who understood”.

Unlike Atsushi during the Sunday Tragedy where even when he was presented with Nikolai’s truth, he didn’t “get it all”, Fyodor was able to

“cleanse these sins”.

He wants to create a world where he no longer has to worry about these constant imperfections (this constant sin) arising, his promised land, traditionally a land God promises for his people and also a place where its people and God are most connected,

“even knowing they’re being manipulated, they just can’t stop killing each other”, in this context he is the cause of why people are “killing each other” meaning that he is very well smart enough to notice this flaw in people that can easily be taken advantage of, and how easily

If he believes that God prefers “perfection” and “harmony”, then this is also what he prefers as he is a "subordinate of God" (he and God prefer the same thing). To prefer “perfection” and “harmony” then suggests that he’s someone who is easily able to notice where there is

+ with this apparent self-assigned, almost inflated, importance, this makes him believe that he understands what God wants more than anyone else, if he is closer to God than he is closer to the average human then surely he knows best what the world needs and what God wants for it

Whenever he speaks about people, he never says "we are sinfully stupid" or "us humans are", it is "people are", he actively separates himself from mankind (to imply that unlike them, he is not sinfully stupid)

An analysis 🧵 of Fyodor's psychology, his overall character, and his possible background that may have influenced him to be the way that he is currently that had originally just been a very small ramble on priv, but is now something a little more proper
