It was probably the only way he thought he could prove his ideals were the real thing.Д«oy really needs a break, poor guy. WHAT HAPPENS TO COMPROMISE, BOY?В Just when someone came along and forced him to rethink his dangerous way of living (not that I like the Hunting DogsвЂ™ methods, but they did have a point), what did he do? HE JUMPED OFF THE FREAKING HELICOPTER.

(He has to take over the ADA, for chrissake, boy you canвЂ™t just go off dying like that). Which I personally think is not wise, no matter how heroic. But when he was caught in a difficult situation in which he was forced to choose between his ideal and his life, he chose his ideal. He learned to compromise, he trusted and supported Dazai and Atsushi when they took in someone in need, even though it wasnвЂ™t a wise decision. KunikidaвЂ™s growth is rather slow and painful to watch. He knows there are limits to his strength, but he keeps struggling to get better. But the best part is - which is also my favourite trait of KunikidaвЂ™s - he presses on anyway. It also reinforces his knowledge of his own limits he is aware that no matter how hard he tries, people may still die. The case of the Azure Messenger, whose reckless pursuit of ideals harmed the people around him, shook KunikidaвЂ™s core beliefs and forced him to rethink the concept ofВ вЂњjusticeвЂќ andВ вЂњrighteousnessвЂќ. As made transparent in the story, he is primarily concerned with following his principles, which he strongly believes constitute an ideal world.

KunikidaвЂ™s character development has effectively started two years ago when he solved that Azure Messenger case with Dazai. The most obvious examples in the current manga timeline are perhaps Dazai, Atsushi and Kunikida. It is a slow, painful and rewarding process, frequently accompanied by breakdowns, relapses, re-examinations and re-evaluations. Their growth doesnвЂ™t happen overnight, nor is it linear. Yet another thing that makes me appreciate BSD so much is how Asagiri builds the characters and their developments.
