Heh , its interesting to see Dazai and Chuuya working together because real life authors had a lot in common the destructive denial of order that chuuya represented in his literature and in his beliefs to outside , is what Dazai Osamu directed onto inside of himself . No wonder the characters based on them both are perfect partners and at the same time hate each others guts . Chuya Nakahara was the nonconformist rebel of Japanese literature . Its only fitting that someone who defied all rules and order in his life would have a character who could literally defy gravity . After all to defy gravity is a common way to state that someone is going against the most fundamental of rules of the world . And real Chuya has defied gravity all of his life , thrashing the current order , the laws , the japanese institutions everything . And the character ' s ability showcased here also perfectly fits with the fact that the real Chuya Nakahara had a nervous breakdown after his child died , which essentially sent him into a downward spiral of suffering ending with his death . Its kind of interesting that Chuya only really got truly famous and mainstream after his death . He went from that hooligan who did not respect the order of thingsin fact a lot of publishers would outright reject to publish his works to one of the most widely quoted and analyzed writers of japanese literature . Did he ever truly become a mainstream and widely recognized poet ? Nobody ' s sure but everyone tends to talk or know his works . Its kind of hilarious that such two madmen were paired to fight Lovecraft the definition of madness . The real lovecraft ' s works are said to have been inspired by the nightmares and horrors he dreamt of , to the point that some people even suspected the author to actually have been possessed . Not to mention a lot of his works has the theme of a cosmic horror hiding or masquerading among the normal people who are ignorant of it ' s presence . Themes of ignorance being the key to safety from the vast terrors of unknown surrounding humanity has always been the key element of Lovecraft ' s writing . Isn ' t it hilarious that in the end Character based on Lovecraft was essentially defeated by the characters based upon authors who quite often would abandon any semblance of reason in their search for meaning in their existences ?
