Summary
The Anatomy of a Villain” follows the tragic transformation of Ryuunosuke Akutagawa, a starving orphan from the slums of Yokohama, into the feared enforcer of the Port Mafia. Driven by desperation to protect his sister Gin, Akutagawa accepts the outstretched hand of Dazai Osamu, who sees potential in his latent ability, Rashoumon. Under Dazai's brutal tutelage, Akutagawa is forged into a weapon—praised only for strength, never for humanity. As he rises through the Mafia ranks, his longing for validation turns into obsession, especially when Dazai favours a new protégé: Atsushi Nakajima. Akutagawa's descent into villainy is not born from malice, but from abandonment, pain, and a world that chose to ignore him. In the end, he is not evil by nature—but a product of cruelty, forged in silence and sharpened by survival.
