BSD suffers hugely, since its start, with the 'untapped potential' problem. The focus of the story is so drilled into Dazai and Chuuya that most other plotlines become blurred and forgotten as Soukoku, or just Dazai, tends to solve problems.

I'm too used to BSD Mori and I do kinda prefer his design, BTA Mori looks respectable enough. Both Fitzgerald's look so similar, but I'm more with BTA on this one. I like both for Natsume, so both.
