Like... Yeah, he may be gifted too and all. But the way everyone was always counting on him even though he was just a rookie in the Armed Detective Agency was suspicious to me. Maybe it was all disguised under the prospect of "If you want to be useful, you have to grow stronger, so go on this missions." But when it always came to such Earth Peace threatening events, he was all the time the main focus. Why put so much hope in a rookie to save you, when you have so much more experience in fighting and such? These have been questions on my mind.
So... Dazai or everyone else, saw something within Atsushi. And apparently, his full potential has yet to unleash. I understand why everyone sees him like such a wimp and crybaby though. He hasn't proven himself that useful in the last chapters and seems like he let almost everyone die, but hopefully his true powers will come out.
I've been yapping so much, but I have hopes for this dumb-dumb and that he'll get rid of the seal that limits his powers.
