Is it really too much to ask for a canon description of every Agency member’s entrance exam

Watching Dark Era sucks because you know there’s only one way it can go and yet you’re still hoping it won’t
If BSD was one to go by traditional color schemes, then by all means! Junichirou should be the one turning into a tiger, and Atsushi should be the one with the snow ability.
The first season of BSD takes place over five days, see here
- First episode, Atsushi and Dazai find each other, Dazai decides to take him in and help him out
- Second episode, takes place the next day when Atsushi wakes up in the apartment Dazai set out for him, then Dazai takes him to the Agency where he takes and passes his entrance exam with Junichirou pretending to be a bomber
- Third episode, immediately after episode two, Junichirou apologizes to Atsushi for all that and they go off with Higuchi on a case, Atsushi meets Akutagawa and he injures them badly
- Fourth episode, probably the next day, Atsushi wakes up in the infirmary, the Agency gets raided by the mafia
- Fifth episode, takes place right after episode four, they’re still cleaning the Agency post-raid, Ranpo gets called off on a case
- Sixth and seventh episodes don’t take place because in the light novel that’s actually the story of Dazai’s entrance exam, so it’s in the past
- Eighth episode, Junichirou’s all better so it can’t have been that long since episode three, Yosano takes Atsushi shopping and he saves Kyouka
- Ninth episode, takes place right after or the next day, Kyouka wakes up in the infirmary, Atsushi takes her to the police station but Akutagawa takes Atsushi
- Tenth episode, same day, Atsushi and Kyouka both beat up Akutagawa
- Eleventh episode, Atsushi brings Kyouka to the Agency right after all that, meanwhile Higuchi has to save Akutagawa from the people he messed with in episode ten when he’s too injured from his fight to do it himself
- Twelfth episode, finally there’s some passage of time because it’s the beginning of the Guild arc and no longer connected immediately to the episodes (then again Kyouka moves in with Atsushi)
So basically:
Episode one is one day
Episode two and three is one day
Episode four and five is one day
Episode eight, nine, ten are one day (or two days)
Episode eleven is one day
All in all it was a heck of a week for Atsushi!
Consider: Ranpo not knowing how to use a phone
Ango sounds like Squidward in the English dub
And that’s all folks! I’m afraid Sara requires I take my leave as she preps her blog for Halloween, but not to worry! You are free to send in questions if you’d still like, and surely one of us will still answer.

Well, here we are again~ Sara’s all loaded up with extra work and so I will take responsibility for maintaining her blog this weekend!! And of course if you’d like to make conversation with me about her, feel free…! As always, blacklist the tag “#dazai takes over” if you’d like to avoid me gushing about her intensively.
Do you think Higuchi dyes her hair?
Interactions I want (more of) in BSD
- Atsushi and Chuuya
- Dazai and Ranpo
- Kunikida and Yosano
- Akutagawa and Kaiji
- Higuchi and literally anyone
