OUUFFHH dear anon you are mean for this question ))): Okay WHEW buckel up so firstly, I frikken LOVE the Tripartite stage. There were a lot of characters involved and I think it was just one of the liveliest ones every. I'm grateful for 15 and SB stage but Tripartite stage man... My personal favourite was Liz-san as Lucy Montgomery I WILL NEVER LET THIS DOWN SHE WAS SOO SOO GOOD!!

Okay now on to that evil question ): I don't think I can ever choose between the both of them 😭😭😭 Hideyan and Rui BOTH had very good adaptations as Dazai. I LOVE Hideyan's goofiness cough and height cough for Dazai it is just chefs kiss perfection. But Rui was kind of a newbie when he took over as Dazai but I felt he nailed it down AMAZINGLY too. Even though Dazai barely did much in Dead Apple but look at Rui in 15 and Storm bringer! AND the Beast movie! My goodness!! Not an ounce of indication of him being a newbie actor AT ALL!

so yeah no I can't choose between them :'))) Although I have been following Rui's other works too ngl 🤭🤭 WHEW thank you for this question though!
